The Fiery Wrath of God

                               Judges 9:15,20,52 KJB

Sometimes, a group of basically good people will select a murderous criminal to be their leader because they mistake his pretense of being a strong man with his being a wise leader. These evil leaders have a talent for persuasion. They convince the people that they have a certain group of enemies that if they allow the evil ruler to get rid of, then the people will be liberated from their threat, and they will have a better life. Such evil leaders will appoint other evil men to authority in every position in their society to protect themselves from the good people who will sooner or later realize that they are being led by criminals. Too often good people also happen to be naive. The Bible records that an evil man named Abimelech convinced the people of the city of Shechem that he should be their king because the seventy sons of Gideon were their enemies. The people gave him money which he used to hire other evil men to follow him. He and his evil followers then murdered seventy of Gideon's sons who were actually his own half- brothers.  Judges 9:1-6 (KJB).

But one of the sons of Gideon named Jotham escaped from this slaughter and from a safe distance he shouted out a prophetic parable to the people of Shechem. Jotham related that the trees, which symbolized a society, asked two fruit bearing trees and a grape vine to be their kings. Being bearers of fruit, they symbolized good people, but they all refrained from being leaders because they just wanted to tend to their own business. Too often, good people reject being leaders because politics can be an ugly business. Jotham further related that then the trees asked a worthless bramble, which symbolized Abimelech, to be their king. The bramble replied that he would be their king if they would "trust in my shadow" which meant he would provide no real protection for them. But if they made him king, and then rejected him, he would burn them with fire which meant he would slaughter as many of them as needed in order to stay in power. Judges 9:7-21 (KJB). God sometimes uses His fiery wrath to temporarily kill evil people, and even good people who serve them, but, in the end of the world, He will cause all of their good natures to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior because He created them all in His image, and they all belong to Him. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). But the Devil also has his fiery wrath which he uses to kill good people in the hope that they will remain dead for eternity. But God can never lose anything He has ever created. Genesis 2:17; Romans 7:23-25; Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). 

Jotham reminded the people of Shechem that his father, Gideon, had liberated them from the tyranny of the Midianites, and therefore, his sons should have been their leaders, but they allowed Abimelech to kill them all except for him. Jotham then sarcastically appealed to their conscience when he told them that if they had been right in making Abimelech their king, they should rejoice over it. Jotham then made a prophecy which is universally true. He prophesied that evil leaders will often raise up followers who will fight will each other for dominance in their societies. This is an evil fire that comes from the Devil. Jotham's prophecy came true because Abimelech had to go to war with other evil leaders who desired to take his place. Abimelech used the fire of the Devil to kill a lot of people. Finally, Abimelech used fire to burn the door of a tower that held some of his enemies, but a woman threw down a millstone that mortally wounded Abimelech. He knew he was dying but being too proud to have been killed by a woman, he ordered his amourbearer to finish him off with his sword. God sometimes gets tired of the fire of the Devil, and God will use other means to kill evil people, sometimes in ways that humiliate them. Judges 9:22-57 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                                Judges 6:21 KJB

From time to time in the history of mankind whenever the people of God became few in number, and the darkness of evil became predominant, and the light of God's Word seemed to be on the verge of being put out for good, then God moved among His faithful people, and He caused them to rise up and fight against evil and win great victories even though greatly outnumbered. Noah and his family fought against evil by obeying God and building an Ark that saved them from the great flood that God used to destroy all evil people from the world. Genesis 6:8-14 (KJB). In the days of Elijah when God's people were few, and a man named Obadiah, who had kept his faith in God a secret, hid a hundred prophets in a cave to keep the evil king Ahab and his evil queen Jezebel from killing them, God raised up His prophet Elijah who gained a great victory over evil and caused a renewal of faith among God's people. I Kings 18:1-41 (KJB). When a small number of God's people returned to Jerusalem from their captivity in Babylon, they won a great victory over evil. Most of God's people remained in Babylon and lost their faith. Ezra 1:1-5 (KJB). 

In almost every example of when God saved a small number of His people from extinction by evil, He either had them to make a burnt offering or He made one Himself. God commanded Noah to make a burnt offering sacrifice after the great flood. Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB). God sent fire from Heaven to burn the sacrifice that Elijah had made to turn God's people back to faith in Him. I Kings 18:30-41 (KJB). When a small number of God's people returned to Jerusalem from their captivity in Babylon where they may have turned to other gods and been lost from God's protection forever, the priests built an altar and made many burnt sacrifices. Ezra 3:1-3 (KJB). King Hezekiah started a great revival among God's people in Jerusalem, and he had the priests to make many sin offerings and burnt offerings to the Lord. II Chronicles 29:20-36 (KJB). Shortly thereafter, the king of Assyria invaded with a mighty army and conquered most of Judah, and he trapped a small number of God's people in Jerusalem where he threatened to extinguish God's people and faith in God forever from the earth. But the prophet Isaiah and king Hezekiah and the people remained faithful, and God sent an angel to utterly destroy that evil army. II Chronicles 32:21 (KJB). In the time of the Judges, when most of God's people had begun to worship false gods, God allowed the Midianites to dominate the Israelites and impoverish them, and God's faithful people were few in number. Then an angel, who was actually the Lord Himself, appeared to a man named Gideon and called him to lead God's people in revolt. Judges 6:1-17 (KJB). Gideon then killed a kid and made unleavened bread and a broth, and he brought them to the Lord. The Lord commanded Gideon to put the kid and the unleavened cakes on a rock and pour the broth on them. The Lord then touched this offering with His staff, and a fire rose up and consumed this offering. This was a burnt offering. Judges 6:18-24 (KJB). God then had Gideon to lead an army of only 300 men to defeat a vast multitude of the Midianites. Judges 7:16-25 (KJB). 

All of this can only mean that the sin offering, and the burnt offering, had great, but different, symbolic meanings for God's salvation of His people. God gave the sin offering to Adam and Eve and the Israelites to symbolize that God's Messiah would shed His blood to save some of God's people by His grace. Genesis 3:20-21 (KJB). But God gave the burnt offering to Noah and the Israelites for a different reason. God told Noah, and all who read the Bible, that the next time He destroys evil from the earth, He will use His fiery wrath, but He will utterly destroy only evil itself, and He will recreate all of His creation, including all living humans, whom He creates in His image, to be righteous. Genesis 1:26-27; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). God made Eve the mother of all living humans which can only mean that they all belong to Him which makes them all His people no matter how evil they may become. Luke 20:38; Psalm 82:6; John 10:34-35; Genesis 3:20 (KJB). In the end of the world, the Messiah will appear to all of His living humans, whom He did not save by His grace, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath to dissolve their beings to separate their living natures for Him to recreate from their dead and evil natures that He will cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:11-15; Matthew 13:36-43; I Corinthians 3:11-15; John 5:28-29; Psalm 75:3; Psalm 36:6 (KJB). God made this promise to Noah and to all of humanity that when He burns the earth, He will never "again smite;" that is, permanently kill any of His living humans that He creates and loves. Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created. It all comes back to Him to be cleansed and recreated. Romans 11:36 (KJB). God promised in Revelation 21:5, "Behold, I make all things new." That can only mean that He will thoroughly purge all evil from His entire creation so that He can recreate it all to be righteous, including all of His living humans whom He will return to faith in Him. Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 8:18-25; Colossians 1:15-23; I Corinthians 15:20-26; John 5:28-29; II Peter 3:9-13; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB).  

 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                               Joshua 13:14 KJB

God uses His fiery wrath to destroy evil, but He also uses His fiery wrath to cleanse the souls and spirits of humans from all sins and evil so that He can save their living natures from being forever destroyed by the Devil. God creates the souls and spirits of all humans in His image. He creates them to be living and good, and God can never lose anything He has ever created to the Devil. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31; Ecclesiastes 3:14; Luke 20:38 (KJB). God gave the sin offering to Adam and Eve, which was the blood sacrifice of an animal, to symbolize that the coming Savior would be able to use His shed blood to cleanse the souls and spirits of all humans of all their sins and evil who would put their faith in Him while still alive in the flesh. Genesis 3:20-21; Matthew 26:28 (KJB). But God gave the burnt offering of animals to Noah after the flood, and God determined in His heart that He would remove the curse of the ground so that He could raise all of His repentant, living humans from the regions of death. Genesis 3:17 (KJB). God also understood that all humans have an evil nature injected into them by the Devil, but God also determined that He would never again permanently kill any of His living humans that He creates and loves as He had done with the flood. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15; Genesis 6:5-7 (KJB). All of this means that the burnt offering had to symbolize that God will use His fiery wrath against evil to purge all of His living humans who do not become saved by His grace of all their sins and evil when He returns them to faith in Him as their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Matthew 13:36-43; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Psalm 75:3 (KJB). Christ will even go and preach to those living humans whom He killed in the flood so that He can save them. I Peter 3:19-20 (KJB). Christ will resurrect and recreate all of His repentant, living humans to an eternal life on His recreated earth. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; John 5:28-29 (KJB). 

In His eternal nature, God knows absolutely everything that can be known, but as He passes through time with the history of the human race, He learns what it means to be human. Acts 15:18; Luke 2:52 (KJB). Jesus learned what it means to be human. Hebrews 4:15 (KJB). 

God also gave the sin offering and the burnt offering to the Israelites. God gave an inheritance of parts of the promised land to the various tribes of Israel, but God gave only the inheritance of the burnt offering sacrifice to the Levites. Joshua 13:14 (KJB). The Levites, some of whom were the priests, symbolized the soul and spirit of the nation of Israel. At times, God allowed the Levites to eat part of the roasted meat that became the burnt offering, and He also allowed them to eat part of the meat offering when it became the burnt offering. Leviticus 6:14-18; Exodus 29:31-32 (KJB). This symbolized that those who partake of the Spirit of Christ by faith will receive either salvation by grace, or they will receive a lesser form of salvation accomplished by the burnt offering sacrifice made by the Spirit of Christ when He descended into a burning Hell. John 6:33; John 6:51; Psalm 16:9-11; Acts 2:25-31; Revelation 5:11-14 (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 all of their souls and spirits to partake of His Spirit by faith so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to purge them of all sins, evil, and spiritual death so that He can recreate them with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth. Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). The Levites symbolized the souls and spirits of humans, and the other tribes of Israel symbolized the recreated bodies of all living humans who will inherit a new life on God's recreated earth.  

The Fiery Wrath of God

                                Joshua 8:8,19 KJB

When the Israelite army had conquered AI, God had them to burn the city and kill every man, woman, and child in it. God allowed them to keep the cattle as a spoil because they were wholly innocent. But the people of AI were totally given to the practice of evil. For over 400 years, while the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, the Canaanites had practiced idolatry and child sacrifice. God is longsuffering and merciful, but when His patience becomes exhausted, He moves to utterly destroy evil in the earth. Romans 9:22 (KJB). God knows that that which is of utmost importance to the eternal survival of the human race must be the total eradication of all sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil from His entire creation so that He can recreate it all to be righteous. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). 

The Israelites were a righteous army because they were used by God in righteous ways even though every man in it was a sinner. In this modern age, God has often become fed up with evil and atheistic ideologies, such as fascism and communism, and He has used His righteous armies to kill them and burn their cities. Every man, woman, and child has been burned in some cities in Japan and Germany. Nevertheless, in this Church Age, God has demonstrated His great longsuffering and mercy because He has commanded His Church to preach the gospel of salvation by His grace that He has provided for every human through His death, burial, and resurrection. Matthew 28:18-20; I Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJB). 

But just because God sometimes uses His righteous armies to utterly destroy some evil people, that does not mean that He has given up on His salvation of the good and righteous natures of those evil people that He creates and loves. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). People become evil and atheistic because they allow the Devil to influence them to suppress their good and living natures that God created them to be. The Devil desires that sin and evil eventually annul the good and living natures of at least some humans so that they will forever be lost from God's Love in a burning Hell. In this way, the Devil hopes to weaken God which would give the Devil a chance to murder Him. John 8:44 (KJB). The Devil took his chance to murder God when the Father allowed all of the sins, evil, and eternal deaths of all humans to be placed on Jesus on the cross so that He could suffer it all in the place of every human, and He could rise from the dead having purged all sins and evil from every living human and having turned their eternal deaths into temporary deaths. Hebrews 2:9-18; I John 2:2; II Timothy 1:10; Luke 20:38; I Timothy 4:10; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). God will return every living human to faith in Him as their Savior, some by His grace and all others when Christ visits them in the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). 

Hebrews 2:10-13 relates that God will save some humans by His grace, but Hebrews 2:14-18 relates that God will also save the rest of humanity with a lesser form of salvation. Taste is a temporary experience. That means that Hebrews 2:9 can only mean that Christ turned the eternal deaths of all humans into only temporary deaths. I John 2:2 relates that Christ satisfied His Father that He paid the sin debt of all living humans, not just those He saved by His grace. II Timothy 1:10 relates that Christ has "abolished death" itself, and since all humans are alive in God's sight, then Christ must have saved all living humans from eternal death. Luke 20:38 (KJB). I Timothy 4:10 relates that Christ exists "as the Savior of all men" which can only mean that He has saved all of His living humans and not that He just desires to save them. How can anyone get around Revelation 21:5 in which God promises "Behold, I make all things new.?" Living humans are a part of the "all things" that God has created. Revelation 4:11 (KJB). God knows exactly how to return every human He has ever created to faith in Him as their Savior of their own free will. Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                              Joshua 7:15, 25 KJB

In this story about Achan, God directed His fiery wrath against one of His own people who had committed a deliberate and willful sin against God. Achan had stolen gold and silver that belonged to God. God commanded that he, and all that he had, to be burned with fire. But God actually had him, and his family, stoned to death before their bodies were burned. Being stoned to death is certainly not a pleasant way to die, but it is much better than being burned alive. 

God's war is with the Devil and all evil, not with any of His living humans that He creates and loves. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31; Genesis 3:15; Genesis 3:20 (KJB). God intends to make a short work on the earth in order to cause as little suffering to the human race as possible. Romans 9:28 (KJB). The Devil desires to burn all living humans alive forever. God can never lose anything He has ever created and loves. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). God will never lose a single, living human to the Devil's desire. I Corinthians 13:8; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5 (KJB). 

In Israel's past, when most of them had been rebellious against God, God threatened to destroy the whole nation and through Moses raise up a new people to serve Him. But God had Moses to plead for his people and defend them, and so God forgave them. Numbers 14:11-20 (KJB). If God had actually destroyed His people and had raised up a new people to serve Him, then even more doubt about God's power would have spread through the world, and God's final triumph over the Devil and all evil would have taken a much longer history of humanity. That longer history would have caused much more suffering for much more people. God had to allow the Devil to do his worst to humans to prove that he can never finally break the faith that God puts into every human that He creates in His image. Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-10 (KJB). But God will make that suffering that the Devil causes to be as short as possible. All humans sin, including Job, but God considers His image that He puts into every human to be perfect. Job 1:1 (KJB). Just as God allowed the Devil to do his worst to Job, God will allow him to do his worst to the whole human race. But just as God did not allow the Devil to take Job's life, so God will not allow the Devil to take a single life of any living human that God ever creates. God knows exactly how to return all of His living humans created in His image to faith in Him in this life or in the end of the world when He makes His final judgment. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; II Timothy 4:1 (KJB). 

God had to have Achan and is family put to death and burned with fire to put fear of Him into the hearts of His people to prevent them from any possible future rebellion against Him. God had to have Achan's family put to death because they would have defended Achan. God had to prevent any future rebellion among His people because He might have to destroy them all and raise up a new people to serve Him. But such an event would have meant a much longer period of suffering in human history, and God intends to make a short history to cause as little suffering as possible. Romans 9:28 (KJB).

One may object that since God is Almighty, He could just summarily ban Satan and all evil from all of His creations. But that would just leave doubt in God's creations about the power of His Love which from time to time would have caused rebellion against God. But God could intervene into human history and become human so that He could prove that His Love is all-powerful and everlasting by allowing Himself to be nailed to a cruel cross and suffer all of the sins, evil, and eternal deaths of all humans in their place, and He could rise from the dead with complete victory over the Devil and all evil. Having thus proved that His Love can never fail, He could present that fact to all of His living humans and return them all to faith in Him as their Savior while in this life or in the end of the world. I Corinthians 13:8; John 20:24-29; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10; I John 3:8; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                              Joshua 6:24 KJB

God had the Israelite army to burn the city of Jericho to destroy the evil, pagan nature of the place. But God also had them to save the precious metals and put them into the treasury of the Lord. Even as wicked as Jericho was, it had some good in it. This same theme occurs again and again throughout the Bible. God punishes sin and evil, and sometimes destroys it with His fiery wrath, but something good always seems to be preserved. The harlot Rahab came to faith in God and hid two of Joshua's spies from the enemy and saved their lives. When the Israelites destroyed Jericho, Joshua saved her and her family alive. Joshua 6:25 (KJB). 

God creates all humans in His image to be good and alive. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created which means His living humans must live forever. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Luke 20:38 (KJB). But in order to live forever, every human must return to the faith that God put into them when He created them that God can save them alive forever. Habakkuk 2:4 (KJB). No matter how evil a human may become, he will still retain a small amount of that faith and goodness that God created him to be. Even Judas Iscariot became remorseful for his betrayal of Jesus, even though he refused to repent. Only goodness can be remorseful. Evil can never be remorseful. Matthew 27:3-5 (KJB). Jesus spoke to that spark of goodness still left in Judas Iscariot when Jesus called him "Friend." Matthew 26:50 (KJB). 

Adam and Eve sinned for the same reason that all humans sin, because they had a weakness in their free will. God gives free will to every human He creates who are mature and intelligent. The Devil exploits that free will to cause every mature and intelligent human to sin, and when they sin, the Devil injects spiritual death into them all. The evil of spiritual death causes all humans to commit even worse sins and evils. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:1-7; Genesis 3:15; Romans 5:12 (KJB). The Devil has planted the "seed" of spiritual death into every human who sins. But Jesus promised that His Father will root up every plant that He has not planted. Matthew 15:13 (KJB). This promise of Jesus can only mean that God will save every living human that He ever creates. 

The Devil looks for a way to weaken God and eventually murder Him. John 8:44 (KJB). The Devil believes that God made a mistake in giving free will to humans because the Devil can misuse that free will to cause humans to choose to sin which becomes spiritual death which will eventually become eternal death which means God will lose a part of His creation that He loves forever and that loss will weaken God's power. The Devil also knows that no human will ever have the strength needed to get rid of his spiritual death, and so the Devil believed that he had trapped God into His eventual destruction. If God ever becomes weak, then He becomes subject to being murdered. But God, being Almighty and having all power over Satan and all evil, came to earth as a human and took all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths, that would have become eternal death, of all humans on Himself on a cross and suffered it all in the place of every human, and He rose from the dead with a complete victory over all sins, evil, and the Devil by turning eternal death into temporary death for all humans. Hebrews 2:9-18; II Timothy 1:10; I Corinthians 15:20-26; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). 

God will prove that He did not make a mistake in giving free will to humans because He knows exactly how to cause every living human to return to faith in Him as their Savior of their own free will. Christ will save some of His living humans when they return to faith in Him that He washed away all of their sins and evil and annulled their spiritual deaths when He shed His blood and water on the cross for them. John 3:16; John 5:24 (KJB). But Christ will also visit all of the rest of humanity confined to the regions of death and on the earth in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and return of their own free will to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11 (KJB). Christ will then 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 recreate their living natures with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Matthew 13:36-43; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).  

The Fiery Wrath of God

                            Deuteronomy 32:22 KJB

In Moses' final address to the Israelites, he gave them a prophecy about the fiery wrath of God. Moses prophesied that the fiery wrath of God would one day become a lake of fire which would burn to the "lowest Hell" and burn the entire earth. Moses' prophecy agrees exactly with Revelation 20:14 (KJB) and with II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). The lake of fire happens to be that part of God's nature which will utterly destroy all evil and the Devil in the end of the world so that God can recreate His entire creation to be righteous, including all of His living humans that He creates in His image. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5; Romans 8:18-23 (KJB). The phrase "lowest Hell" in this verse implies that there exist higher regions of Hell. Revelation 20:13 informs that in His final judgment God will call all dead humans, whom He has separated from His living humans, from the three regions of Hell called the Sea, Death, and Hell for Him to judge. When Adam and Eve sinned, God cursed the Devil and the ground which holds the three regions of death which the Devil had evidently filled with his devils. God did not curse Adam and Eve or any of their descendants. Genesis 3:14-21 (KJB). In fact, God made Eve the mother of all living which can only mean that God intends to save all of His living humans that He creates and loves from the curse that the Devil infected them, and all humans with, when they inevitably sin. This curse is spiritual death which threatens to become eternal death. Genesis 3:20; Genesis 2:17; Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:20-28; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). 

Jesus' parable about the sheep and the goats describes His final judgment in the end of the world. Matthew 25:31-46(KJB). The sheep represent the good and living natures of all humans that God creates. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). The goats represent the dead and evil natures of all humans that the Devil injects into the inner beings of all humans who sin. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). The sheep do at least some of the good works that God has given them to do, but the goats do no good works at all. Isaiah 26:12; Matthew 25:42-45 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created which means in His final judgment He will save all of His sheep who represent all of His living humans whom He has not already saved by His grace. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Matthew 13:43 (KJB). But the cursed nature of His living humans that the Devil has injected into them, God will separate from them for Him to cast into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 (KJB). God casts only dead humans into the lake of fire because He saves their living natures forever. God prepared the lake of fire for the Devil, his angels, and all evil, not for any of His good and living humans that He creates and loves. God's Love can never fail. Matthew 25:41; I John 3:8; II Peter 3:9-13; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). 

Since it is quite impossible for humans to save themselves from the curse that threatens to eventually utterly destroy their good natures forever, God came to earth and took that curse on Himself on a cruel cross so that He could wash it all away with His blood and water that He shed so that He can forever save from eternal death, and all of the sin and evil that causes it, all living humans who would believe in Him as their Savior while still alive in the flesh. Matthew 26:28; John 5:24 (KJB). Only the good and living nature of humans can repent with a desire to be reconciled with God. The dead and evil nature of humans can never repent. Matthew 12:31-32 (KJB). 

But since Christ intends to save all of the rest of humanity not saved by His grace, He dismissed His Spirit when He died on the cross for Him to descend into a burning Hell to leave behind there all of their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths so that He could rise immaculate from the regions of death to reanimate the perfect body of Jesus who rose from the dead with an absolute and complete victory over all sins, evil, the Devil, and spiritual death. I Peter 3:18; II Timothy 1:10; Revelation 1:17-18; Acts 2:25-31; Psalm 16:9-11; I John 2:2 (KJB). But in order to make this salvation effective, Christ will visit all of His living humans confined to the regions of death and on the earth in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith 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 all of their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures that He will recreate to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Matthew 25:46; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).
