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).  

The Fiery Wrath of God

                           Deuteronomy 18: 1,10,16 KJB

Verses one and sixteen in this chapter denotes how God uses His fiery wrath against evil for the benefit of humans. Verse ten describes how the Devil misuses fire to tell a lie about God. All through the Bible, God tells the truth, and the Devil tells lies about God. John 8:39-45 (KJB). 

Verse one teaches that if the Levites, who were priests, would eat a part of the roasted meat before it became the burnt offering sacrifice, they will obtain a better inheritance from the Lord than would the ordinary, faithful Israelite. God will give them the special blessings of an eternal ministry to all the faithful Jews who will inherit an eternal possession of the promised land after the final resurrection in the end of the world. Deuteronomy 18:5; Isaiah 66:10-24 (KJB). God will recover and recreate all of His living Jews and Gentiles "on the earth, and under the earth" in the end of the world, and He will give the Levites and the priests a place of special blessings on His new earth that He will recreate. Isaiah 66:21 (KJB). In the end of the world, Christ will visit all of His living humans that He loves, and He will cause them all to repent and return to the faith in Him as their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve all of their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures, that He created, from their dead and evil natures put into them by the Devil. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:15; Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11; Psalm 75:3 (KJB). Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil to purge His entire creation of all evil and the Devil so that He can recreate it all, including all of His living humans, to be forever righteous. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). The Levites, who were priests, will enjoy a place of special blessings on God's new earth. When the priests ate the roasted meat that preceded the burnt offering, that symbolized that they would partake of the Spirit of Christ in the final resurrection, and they will enjoy a special form of blessings as they serve God on His new earth.   

Verse sixteen relates that God used His fiery wrath as He spoke to His people from Mount Horeb to cause them to become afraid of His punishments for their practice of sin and evil. In verse thirteen, God informed His people that He expected them to be "perfect" in His sight which meant that He expected them to try to obey His commandments, but He also expected them to make a sin offering or a burnt offering for their forgiveness whenever they inevitably failed to obey Him. Leviticus 5:5-10 (KJB). The Ten Commandments thus teaches every human that they are sinners before God, but the sin offering and the burnt offering symbolized that God would provide the sacrifice of Himself for the salvation of all of His living humans. But God used His fiery wrath against evil to cause His people to be afraid of Him so that they would sin less and not become subject to God's severest punishment which would be if God had to cast them into a burning Hell. 

Moses gave the people this warning from God about His fiery wrath at the same time that he gave them his great prophecy about the coming Messiah. Moses told his people that those who refused to hear or believe God's Messiah, "I will require it of him." This sentence implies that the punishment for disbelief in the Messiah would be only a temporary punishment, even for a person whom God had to cast into a burning Hell. Deuteronomy 18:19; Luke 12:58-59; John 12:31-32; John 12:47-48; John 5:28-29 (KJB). Moses even informed his people that a false prophet who speaks for other gods, "thou shalt not be afraid of him." God may cast such an evil person into a burning Hell, but Moses did not say that that would be an eternal punishment. Deuteronomy 18:20-22 (KJB). 

For every manifestation of God's power, the Devil has formed a lie to try to replace it. In verse ten, Moses warned God's people to never make their son or daughter "to pass through the fire" in the worship of false gods. This practice is similar to people who walk on strips of fiery coals even to this day. They usually do not get hurt because the Devil actually protects them from harm. The message of the Devil in protecting these people is that humans do not have to fear the fiery wrath of God because He does not exist. This is the Devil's sub-conscious message to people who walk on strips of fiery coals. 

Everything is Real

 If a person hears a story that he finds hard to believe, and he desires more evidence for the truth of that story, then that happens to be the correct use of the philosophy of skepticism. But the philosophy of skepticism which posits that no human can know for certain that anything is real or not real in his experience can only be atheistic because if God is real then He would have created a real universe and real human intelligence and not a creation that might be an illusion. 

But humans can know for certain that all of their experiences are real. When a person examines every sense experience and every inner experience that one can have, one finds that every element of those experiences happens to be useful in some creative way. Every impression on consciousness cannot be anything except an experience. Illusions are never useful except for fantasy writers. Fantasy writers can make even illusions useful for entertainment purposes. 

Intelligence is a process of being creative. Every intelligent human can assemble the elements of their experiences into combinations of ideas that prove to be useful and beneficial or prove to be useless or even destructive. In other words, humans can have good ideas and bad ideas. But the elements of both systems, good and bad, are always useful in other combinations of ideas and that which is useful cannot be an illusion because illusions are usually useless except for fantasy writers. Humans can invent systems that produce beneficial results, or humans can invent systems that fail to produce beneficial results, but in both cases, only useful elements can be used. In this regard, the creative process is similar to mathematics. 2+3=6 happens to be a useless combination, but every element of that false combination happens to be true and real in beneficial combinations. 

But in order for the creative process to work properly, intelligence must know the difference between something and nothing. The idea of nothing never means that a particular something does not exist. When one says that something, such as a winged horse, is not real, the useful idea of nothing can never annul the elements of that experience. Illusions always comprise real elements. When a person says that something does not exist, one always means that a false combination of real elements does not exist in combination with each other. For example, if a person makes a mistake in arithmetic and adds 2+3=6, that person can then recognize that that combination of real and useful elements means nothing, but that person cannot conclude that that false combination is not real because it equals the real and useful idea of nothing. For another example, if a person sees a UFO, that person can conclude that it was real, or he can conclude that because of misapprehension or hallucination, that which he saw was not real. But he cannot conclude that the real elements of his experience that he saw such as "shinny," "metallic," "disk," or "flying" were not real, but only that their false combination was not real. The idea of nothing is real because it serves a useful purpose. 

Opinions and theories may not be known to be true or false because not enough evidence has been accrued to demonstrate their truth or falsity, but nevertheless, every opinion and theory always comprises true and real elements of experience. 

All of this means that everything that one can experience must be real. All of the elements of something can only be real because they are all useful in beneficial combinations. The idea of nothing must also be real because it is useful for the identification of systems that are useless and mean nothing. Every element of experience has meaning which makes it real. In order for creative intelligence to work properly, it must be able to tell the difference between that which is useful and that which is useless so that it can be usefully discarded or ignored. Thus, intelligence consciousness can recognize that its elements of experience are all useful, and therefore, real. The element of consciousness that is the idea of nothing is also real because it can usefully identify systems that are useless and mean nothing. Everything is real. 

If anyone should doubt the conclusions of this philosophy, then that person should examine every elementary sense object, every idea, every feeling, and every word that they have ever experienced, and they will find that they are all useful for the creation of both useful and useless systems. Even nonsense words are useful because one can use the idea of nothing to recognize that they mean nothing. One can even recognize that one's idea of nothing can only be real because it is useful for the identification of all that is useless. 

God created a real universe and real human intelligence. Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB).                    

The Fiery Wrath of God

                             Deuteronomy 13:16 KJB

This chapter and this particular verse indicate that that which is of the utmost importance in human lives is that they worship the One true and living God and refrain from the worship of any kind of false gods. The practice of sin and evil happens to be inevitable even among God's people, but God deals with those who believe in Him and worship Him as His children whom He will discipline for their correction. Romans 3:23; I John 1:8; Hebrews 12:5-11 (KJB). But the Devil has his own kingdom in the world, and those humans who live in his kingdom practice greed, excessive power over others, excessive pleasures, and they believe that humans need only material necessities, and they replace God's morality with their own, invented morality. These humans are those who worship false gods. Matthew 4:1-11 (KJB). 

God creates every living human in His image; that is, He creates them to be good and creative. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God loves His entire creation, and God can never lose anything that He loves. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). For this reason, God has determined to liberate every living human that He has ever created from the power of the Devil's kingdom by His sacrifice of Himself on a cross, and by His use of His fiery wrath against evil. John 3:16; Mark 9:49-50 (KJB). The Devil has gained some power over humans because he can inject spiritual death into every human the moment they sin, and every human except for infants who die before they can sin, will inevitably sin because they, like Adam, have a weakness in their free will. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). Genesis 2:17 was a warning from God for what would happen when Adam sinned. The Devil knows all this, and so he accuses God of making a mistake when He gave humans free will which makes the Devil gloat that God will cause the utter downfall of His own, living humans because the Devil believes that spiritual death will eventually become eternal death which will cause God to lose forever His good and living humans whom He creates and loves. Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-10 (KJB). The Devil bragged to God that he had power in the earth that he believed God could do nothing about, and he boasted that he could make Job, and by extension any human, to eventually become totally evil and spiritually dead and lost from God's Love forever because he was able to cause humans to despair of faith by making them suffer as much as possible. 

But what the Devil did not know was that God could devise a plan that would cause every human to return to faith in Him as their Savior of their own free will. God would save some of His living humans by His grace when He would take their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths on Himself on a cross, wash it all away with His blood and water that He would shed, and He would rise from the dead to give them His own eternal life. I John 1:7; Matthew 26:28; John 5:24; John 3:16; II Corinthians 5:21; I Corinthians 6:11; I Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJB). Christ would send His Holy Spirit to preach the gospel that would cause some humans to return to faith in Him as their Savior while still alive in the flesh. I Corinthians 6:11; John 5:24 (KJB). But Christ also sent His Holy Spirit into a burning Hell to leave behind there all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of the rest of humanity that He bore on the cross so that His Spirit would rise immaculate from the regions of death to reanimate Jesus' perfect body so that He would rise from the dead with complete and absolute victory over all of the evil works of the Devil. Genesis 3:15 relates that Jesus intends to absolutely crush the Devil and all evil completely out of His world. I John 2:2; I Peter 3:18; Psalm 16:9-11; Acts 2:25-31; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). Christ will visit all of His living humans on the earth and confined to the regions of death in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to return of their own free will to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures for Him to recover and recreate from their dead and evil natures which He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Matthew 13:36-43; I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Luke 3:6; Luke 3:16-17; John 5:28-29; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). 

God had His good armies to utterly destroy any evil city that worshipped false gods, even though they had to destroy, at the same time, all of God's living humans and the cattle. But God will, in the end, preserve all of His living humans and the cattle. Deuteronomy 13:12-16; Psalm 36:6 (KJB). All that God ever created will go out from Him and will return to Him. Romans 11:36 (KJB). God will utterly purge and destroy all sins, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil from His entire creation and cleanse it all and recreate it all to be righteous. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5; I John 3:8 (KJB). Part of the gospel is that Christ "hath abolished death" itself, and not any of His living humans. Since all humans are alive in God's sight, then God must forever save from eternal death, and all of the sins and evil that causes it, all of His living humans that He ever created by returning them all to faith in Him of their own free will which will prove that He did not make a mistake in giving humans free will. A chosen love makes God's Love real. Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:20-26; I Timothy 4:10; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                           Deuteronomy 12:3,31 KJB

In this chapter, Moses preached about that which is of the utmost importance in people's lives. All people either worship God and trust Him and obey Him, or they worship false gods which are just totally evil devils. At that time, the Israelites were God's family. When they sinned, God punished them for their correction, and when they repented by bringing a clean animal to the priests for a sin offering or a burnt offering, God forgave them. Leviticus 5:5-10 (KJB). God knew that every one of them had a good and living nature that He had created them to be, but they also had a dead and evil nature that had been instilled into them by the Devil. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31; Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). God knew that if the entire human race were to allow their dead and evil natures to dominate their good and living natures, then over time, their good and living natures would become totally evil, and God would lose a part of His creation to the Devil. Such an event would diminish the Almighty Power of God and put His entire creation into danger of being lost to the Devil. Isaiah 14:12-17 (KJB). 

Just as God had chosen Noah and his family to preserve faith in Him when He had to destroy the human race because it had become dominated by evil, so God chose the nation of Israel to preserve faith in Him in a world full of pagan people who worshipped devils. God knew that because of their evil natures, even His own people would inevitably sin and even do evil acts, but God provided animal sacrifices that they could make to demonstrate their faith in God's Love and mercy, and God would forgive them and that reconciliation would preserve God's family. To offer an animal sacrifice demonstrated that they had faith in God's power over evil. 

Yet God sometimes used His fiery wrath against evil to kill some of His own people when it became evident to Him that they had abandoned their faith in Him and had become totally disobedient and had allowed evil to completely dominate their good and living natures. At times, God had to purify His people to prevent them all from becoming totally evil which would destroy faith in Him in the world, and that event would put the whole world in danger of being lost from God's Love forever. But whenever God saw that His purification had been completed, He provided a way for His people to return to faith in Him as their merciful God who would preserve their lives. Numbers 21:5-9 (KJB). The Devil and evil have tremendous power in the world to thoroughly corrupt the human race, but God has Almighty Power which will save His entire creation from utter destruction. Luke 4:5-8; Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). 

God expects His people to fight against evil. God will sometimes allow His people to borrow His fiery wrath in their fight against evil. God sometimes commands His faithful armies to burn evil cities and their evil gods. Even today, God will command His good armies to burn those cities where evil dominates. Deuteronomy 12:1-3; Deuteronomy 12:31 (KJB). But just as God's war happens to be only against evil and the Devil and never against the good and living natures of all people whom He loves, so God expects His people to war against only the Devil and all evil even when they have to kill their good and living natures at the same time that they kill their evil natures. Ephesians 6:12 (KJB). 

But mostly for two thousand years, God has used His Church to preach the gospel that Christ sacrificed Himself to take away their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths so that the Holy Spirit could recreate their souls and spirits so that the power of God would cause their good and living natures to dominate their lives. II Corinthians 5:14-21; I Corinthians 15:1-4; I Corinthians 6:11 (KJB). God has promised His Church, and all other humans saved by His grace, an eternal life with Him in Heaven. I Peter 1:3-5 (KJB). But God has also promised all of His faithful Jews that He will give them eternal life in their promised land on His recreated earth in the end of the world. Deuteronomy 12:28-29 (KJB). God has extended this same promise of eternal life on His new earth to the good and living natures of all humans confined to the regions of death and on the earth because Christ will visit them in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve all of their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their good and 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. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). God will prove that His Love can never fail because He will save His entire creation, and He will utterly destroy all of the evil works of the Devil. I Corinthians 13:8; I John 3:8; Romans 8:18-25; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). The Devil has marred God's creation, but God knows exactly how to recreate it. Christ clearly taught that He judged only the Devil while He was on the cross, and He also taught that He judged no man while He was on the earth which can only mean that He gained complete victory over the Devil and all evil when He suffered and died and rose from the dead to gain the higher and lesser forms of salvation for the entire human race. John 12:31-32; John 12:47-48; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 21:5; II Timothy 1:10; II Timothy 4:1; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB).
