The Fiery Wrath of God

                      II Peter 3:9-13  Revelation 21:1-5

II Peter 3:9-13 relates that God has made a promise and a prophecy. He will burn up the heavens and the earth, and He will recreate them all to be righteous. Part of this promise is that God is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). All of this can only mean that God has created a plan to bring all of His living humans whom He creates and loves to repentance and back to the faith that He put into them when He created them. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). When God relates that He is "not willing that any should perish," then He will be sure to bring every living human He has ever created back to repentance and faith in Him because His Love and His Will are Absolute and Almighty. He can never lose anything that He loves. If God ever had to cast a living human into the lake of fire, then He would lose that person to the power of evil forever. That will not happen. Psalm 75:3 prophesies that God will dissolve the entire human race so that He can separate their good and living natures from their dead and evil natures that He will cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:11-15 clearly relates that Christ will raise only dead humans from their graves after He has raised His living humans back to life, and He will cast only dead and evil humans into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; John 5:28-29 (KJB). Christ will appear to all of His living humans "on the earth, and under the earth" in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent of their own free will so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings in order to separate their repentant, good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can save their living natures from eternal death, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Matthew 13:36-43; I Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJB). Revelation 20:5 relates that Christ will raise all of His repentant, living humans back to life from the regions of the dead. Luke 20:38 relates that all humans are alive to God, and therefore, no living human can ever become permanently dead. I Timothy 1:10 relates that Christ has "abolished death" itself in order to save "life and immortality." I Timothy 4:10 clearly states that Christ will save all humans, especially those who believe while still alive in the flesh.

Revelation 21:1-5 relates that after God has recreated a new Heaven and earth, He will recreate all of His living humans to new and blessed lives on His recreated earth and in Heaven. The entire human race will have to be recreated because in verse 5 He promised, "Behold, I make all things new." His living humans have to be a part of the "all things" that God creates. Revelation 4:11 (KJB).

Revelation 21:8 merely describes the unrepentant natures of all the dead and evil humans that God will cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 22:11-2 teaches that in Christ's final judgment He will leave all evil behind, and He will save all that He recreates to be righteous. He will reward the righteous for their good works on the earth, and even the worst humans have done some good works. Matthew 10:42; I Corinthians 4:5 (KJB). Recreated humans can only receive rewards if they are alive.

In John 11:25, Christ promises that He can and will save forever and raise to life all humans who physically die but return to faith in Him. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; John 5:28-29 (KJB). In John 11:26, Christ promises that He will give eternal life to all His living humans who repent and believe while still alive in the flesh. John 5:24; John 3:3 (KJB).
