Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                Isaiah 14:24-27 (KJB)

In Isaiah's day, an Assyrian army had surrounded Jerusalem and had threatened to destroy it and all of God's people. But Isaiah and the king of Judah, Hezekiah, prayed to the Lord that He would save Jerusalem. God answered their prayers, and He sent an angel to utterly destroy the entire Assyrian army, and only their king escaped to his land, but he was murdered by two of his sons. Isaiah 37:36-38 (KJB).

God made His destruction of that evil Assyrian army a symbol of that which He intends to do to the "whole earth." In the end of the world, God intends to utterly crush all sin, evil, and the Devil out of His positive reality, and He will cleanse it all of every taint of evil, and He will recreate it all to be wholly righteous. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). The Assyrian army symbolized total, demonic evil, and the people of Jerusalem symbolized all the living that God creates in His image. Because of the prayers of God's people saved by grace for all of humanity and because of God's will that all humans become saved, God will extend His merciful salvation to the entire, living human race. II Peter 3:9; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). In the end of the world, Christ will appear to all humans "on the earth, and under the earth," and He will cause them all to repent and believe that He can save them from eternal death. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). In the general resurrection of all of God's repentant, living humans in the end of the world, God will recreate them all with righteous lives to live forever on His recreated earth. Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). When God stretches out His hand to the "whole earth," He stretches it out in both judgment and mercy.

Every human has a good and living nature inside of them created by God. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27 (KJB). But every human also has an evil, spiritual death injected into them by the Devil. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). God intends to purge every spiritual death from every living human and save them all from eternal death. Christ did this through His death, burial, and resurrection. John 12:31-32; John 12:47 (KJB). God will save some of His living humans by His grace, and He will annul their spiritual deaths while they are still alive in the flesh. John 5:24 (KJB). But Christ will appear to the rest of humanity "on the earth, and under the earth" in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, living natures for Him to save, from their dead, spiritual natures that He will cast into the lake of fire. II Peter 3:9-13; I Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJB).

One must read exactly that which the Word of God relates. Revelation 20:5 clearly relates that "the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." This verse can only mean that God in the end of the world will raise all of His repentant, living humans confined to the regions of death and on the earth back to life from a state of eternal death. God does the same for humans saved by grace the moment they believe. John 5:24 (KJB). Revelation 20:11-15 clearly relates that God judges only the dead, not the living, humans and casts them into the lake of fire. These verses state nothing whatsoever about God's living humans that He has already saved. These verse relate only about the separated, dead natures of humans. Their names cannot be found in the book of life because they are dead. Furthermore, God has promised, "Behold, I make all things new" which can only mean that He must resurrect and recreate all of His repentant, living humans to an eternal life on His new earth. Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).
