The Fiery Wrath of God

                                 Leviticus 3:1-17 (KJB)

The peace offerings happened to be the same as a sin offering and a burnt offering with the emphasis on the peace that they made between the sinner and God. The sinner could choose to bring any kind of clean animal to the priests who would make the sacrifice. The sinner was to lay his hand on the head of the animal, and then kill it at the altar before the Tabernacle. The priests would then sprinkle its blood around the altar which symbolized a sin offering which would cause the sinner to find peace with God. The sinner laid his hand on the animal to symbolize that he had transferred his sins and evil to the animal. Christ took the sins and evil of every human on Himself on a cross to liberate every sinner from eternal death by cleansing them with His shed blood and saving them by His grace as soon as they believed in Him. I Peter 3:18; Matthew 26:28; I Corinthians 6:11; John 5:24 (KJB). For this reason, even though the sinner had no knowledge of Christ's sacrifice, God would put peace in the hearts of those who brought this sacrifice to the priests.

But the sinner might not believe that the sin offering would take away his sins and evil, and instead, he might believe that the burnt offering would burn up his sins and evil and cause him to find peace with God. The fact that he laid his hand on the animal signified that he had put his faith in either the sin offering or the burnt offering. After the sin offering, the priests would burn all of the fat and most of the inner organs with wood on the altar. The fact that the burnt offering made "a sweet savour unto the Lord" proved that God was satisfied that a proper burnt offering had been made to symbolize that a sinner had been saved from eternal death.

Jesus made the sin offering which would save all sinners by His grace who would believe while still alive in the flesh, but the Holy Spirit made the burnt offering sacrifice when He descended into Hell after the death of Jesus on the cross. Ephesians 4:9-10 (KJB). The Holy Spirit had to have had a reason for His descent into Hell. Since God is One Being, then it would be correct to say that Jesus descended into Hell or that even the Father descended into Hell. I Corinthians 8:6 (KJB). Jesus bore the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of every living human who ever lived on His cross. I John 2:2 (KJB). The word "propitiation" in both Greek and English means that God smelled a sweet savour: that is, He was satisfied that a proper sacrifice had been made for the atonement of all sinners. The Holy Spirit descended into Hell to leave behind there all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of all humans who would not become saved by His grace. Psalm 16:9-10; Acts 2:25-31; Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB).

God intends to save forever all human beings whom He created in His image and whom He loves because He can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Genesis 1:26-27; Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). Since God is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance," then He will save the entire human race because His Will cannot be thwarted. II Peter 3:9 (KJB). In the end of the world, God will burn up the heavens and the earth to purge it all of all sins, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil so that He can save and recreate all of His living humans who did not become saved by His grace. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB).

But God must bring all of His living humans back to faith in Him so that He can save them all. Romans 1:17; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). In the end of the world, Christ will appear to all of His living humans "on the earth, and under the earth," and He will cause them all to return to the faith He put into them when He created them that He is the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). He will then use His fiery wrath against evil to separate their repentant, living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their living natures to righteous lives on His new earth, and He will cast their separated, dead and evil natures into an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB). Christ has promised, "Behold, I make all things new." Revelation 21:5 (KJB).
