The Fiery Wrath of God

                                Genesis 3:1-24 (KJB)

God created Adam and Eve in His image; that is, He created them to have a good and creative nature. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God loves the good natures of every human He ever creates, and God can never lose anything He ever creates and loves. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8 (KJB).

God relates in His Word that He intends to save every living human He ever creates from the sin, evil, and spiritual death into which they all would fall. God warned Adam who warned Eve that if they disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit, they would die on that same day. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:2-3 (KJB). God knew that the Devil was in the world and that he held the power of evil and spiritual death, and if Adam and Eve disobeyed God, then the Devil would have the right to inject spiritual death that causes sin and evil into the inner beings of Adam and Eve and all of their descendants. The Devil believed that the power of spiritual death would eventually overcome the power of God's Love, and the living natures of humans would become totally evil and subject to the tortures of Hell forever. Job 1:11-12; Job 2:5-6; Job 2:9-10 (KJB). Job, being the first written book of the Bible, reveals the intention of Satan toward the human race. Satan seeks to utterly destroy a part of God's creation; that is, living humans, to prove that God's Love can fail. But God's Love can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). If the Devil could prove that God's Love is not Almighty, then he would be able to take complete control of at least the world that God created, and he would be able to torture all humans within it forever. Satan's temptation of Jesus also shows that he intends to take complete control of God's world. Luke 4:5-8 (KJB).

Just as God allowed the Devil to do his worst to Job, but He did not allow the Devil to take his life, so God allows the Devil to do his worst to the entire human race, but God will save the good lives of every human He ever creates. The Devil plants the "seed" of spiritual death within the inner beings of every human, but God sent the "seed" of the woman, a perfect human named Jesus, who was not subject to spiritual death, and He suffered the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of all living humans to crush the power of the Devil over all of the "seed" of the woman which are their living souls and spirits that God creates and loves. Genesis 3:15 (KJB). God gave Eve the right to be the "mother of all living," and since all humans are alive in God's sight, then no living human will ever suffer eternal, spiritual death because Jesus has saved them all from it. Had Jesus not saved them from it, then they all would suffer spiritual death forever. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB). Jesus taught that His Father will root up every plant that He did not plant. That can only mean that God will utterly destroy the spiritual death and evil that the Devil has planted into every living human, but God will forever save the spiritual life that He plants into every human. Matthew 15:13 (KJB).

Further evidence that God intends to save the living souls and spirits of the entire human race lies in the fact that God never cursed Adam and Eve or any of their descendants. God cursed only the Devil and the ground that holds the three regions of death. Hell is actually divided into three regions of death called the Sea, Death or the Bottomless Pit, and the burning Hell. Revelation 20:13 (KJB). God gave only temporary punishments to Adam and Eve and their descendants. Humans who fail to accept Jesus as their Savior while still alive in the flesh, God will consign them to a temporary punishment in the regions of death when they physically die. Hebrews 9:27 (KJB). Whatever God curses He intends to utterly destroy, and God will utterly destroy the Devil and all three regions of death in the end of the world. Revelation 20:10; Revelation 20:14; Revelation 21:1 (KJB). The curse that Adam and Eve and all of their descendants acquired and suffered was the curse of spiritual death given to them by the Devil, not by God. But God sent His Son to save the entire, living human race from the curse of spiritual death through His death, burial, and resurrection. John 12:31-32; John 12:47 (KJB). If God ever intended to utterly destroy any of His living souls and spirits by casting them into an eternal lake of fire, He would have certainly told Adam and Eve and the rest of humanity.

But all living humans must return to the faith that God puts into them when when He creates them in order to be saved. Habakkuk 2:4 (KJB). God will make sure that all living humans return to that faith in the power of God's Love that caused Him to make the sacrifice necessary to save them all from eternal death. God killed an animal and shed its blood to make coats for Adam and Eve. That symbolized that God will save some humans by washing them in the blood that Jesus shed on the cross when they repent and believe while still alive in the flesh. Genesis 3:21; I John 1:7 (KJB). Christ will save the rest of His living humans that He had to consign to the regions of death when He appears to them near the end of the world. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will cause them all to return to faith in Him of their own free will, and He will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can resurrect their living natures for Him to recreate with new bodies to inherit eternal life on His new earth, and He will cast their separated, dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Genesis 8:20-21; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB).

After God cast Adam and Eve out of the garden, He assigned an angel with a flaming sword to guard the Tree of Life, This symbolizes the fact that God uses His fiery wrath against evil to forever protect the Tree of Life from all evil so that it can supply all the nations of the world with health and eternal life. Genesis 3:22-24; Revelation 22:1-3; Psalm 82:8 (KJB).
