II Samuel 23:1-7 KJB
As usual, God gave king David very poetic language as he spoke his last words. God inspired king David to say that whoever rules over humans must be a just ruler who fears God. King David admitted that he had not always been a just ruler, but he remembered that God had made a covenant with him that his throne would last forever, and it would be "ordered in all things" which meant it would have a perfect ruler. King David further prophesied that that perfect ruler would be the source of his salvation. King David prophesied about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
King David then turned his prophecy to the final judgment that this perfect ruler would make. David said that evil humans would be "as thorns thrust away" which meant they would be separated from humans so they could no longer touch humans and influence and injure their lives. Jesus said that "tares" would be separated from the "wheat." Matthew 13:30 (KJB). John the Baptist said that Jesus would separate the "wheat" from the "chaff," and He would burn the "chaff." Luke 3:16-17 (KJB). Jesus taught that, "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." Matthew 15:13 (KJB). God told Adam that "thorns also and thistles" would plague his life. Genesis 3:17-18 (KJB). The Bible often relates that evil is like worthless but injurious stuff that will be burned. Jesus was crowned with thorns which symbolized that He was taking all of the evil and sins of the human race on Himself. Matthew 27:29 (KJB).
God creates all of His living humans to be good, and He can never lose anything He has ever created. Genesis 1:31; Ecclesiastes 3:14; Luke 20:38 (KJB). Therefore, God will make a way to return all of His living humans to the faith that He put into them when He created them so that He can save them all, and He will either annul their spiritual deaths for all living humans that He saves by His grace, or He will separate their repentant, good and living natures from their evil and worthless natures that, like thorns, He will burn in an everlasting fire. Habakkuk 2:4; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB). Sin, evil, and spiritual death inside of every human would have eventually caused eternal death, but Jesus took all sins, evil, and eternal death on Himself on a cross and died in the place of all living humans so that He could rise from the dead having turned eternal death into only a temporary death for the sake of the salvation of all living humans. Hebrews 2:9-18; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). Hebrews 2:9-13 relates about God's salvation by His grace, but Hebrews 2:14-18 relates about God's salvation of the rest of humanity. All humans are God's children. Psalm 82:6 (KJB). Jesus judged only the Devil and all evil as He suffered on the cross. John 12:31; John 16:11 (KJB). But Christ will not judge His living humans until the end of the world. John 12:46-47; II Timothy 4:1 (KJB).
King David further prophesied that this perfect ruler will be able to touch the "thorns" because He will possess a perfect defense against them, and He will have a "spear" which means He will be able to force the "thorns" into the fire. All of these "thorns" will be "utterly burned with fire in the same place." This prophecy can only mean that God will purge with His fiery wrath all of the sins, evil, spiritual deaths, and the Devil from the lives of all of His living humans not already saved by grace in the end of the world. Then He will recreate His entire creation to be righteous. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).
