The Fiery Wrath of God

                              Psalm 68:2-3 KJB

God creates every human in His image to be good and creative. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB). God loves His entire creation, and He can never lose anything He ever creates. I John 4:8; Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). God's creations have become stained and weakened by sin and evil, but God knows exactly how to one day use His fiery wrath to purge His entire creation of all sins, evil, and the Devil. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). These facts mean that whatever God creates can never become His enemy. God hates only the Devil and all evil. Psalm 45:7 (KJB). 

All humans sin because of a weakness in their free will, and when they sin, the Devil injects spiritual death into their inner beings which causes humans to continue to commit sinful and evil acts. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). But all humans still retain their good and creative natures that God creates them to be. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB). No matter how evil a human may become, they can never put out that inner light. John 1:9 (KJB). Every good and living nature of humans becomes stained and filthy with the effects of sin and evil. Isaiah 64:6 (KJB). But God knows exactly how to use free will to cause every living human that He ever creates to choose to return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can save them all from eternal death, some by His grace and all others when He visits them in the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). 

Psalm 68:2 happens to be a prophecy that God will, by His use of His fiery wrath against evil, dissolve the beings of most of His living humans to drive their evil away as smoke and cause their wickedness to perish. Psalm 68:3 happens to be a prophecy that God will save all of those living humans "on the earth, and under the earth," and they will rejoice and praise God. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Throughout the Bible, God consistently refers to evil as being something useless that needs to be burned. Jesus' parable about the tares and wheat, and His explanation of that parable, can only be about His judgment in the end of the world. The "good seed" are the living humans that God creates to be good and creative. The "tares" are the evil, spiritual deaths that the Devil injects into all humans who sin. In the end of the world, Christ will use His fiery wrath to separate their repentant, righteous natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can save their lives and burn their spiritual deaths. Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB). 

John the Baptist prophesied that Christ would save all living humans with one of two spiritual baptisms. Christ will baptize with the Holy Spirit and save by His grace, and He will also baptize and save the rest of humanity with His fiery wrath against evil. He will "thoroughly purge His floor," which means He will purge His entire creation of all sins, evil, and the Devil. He will gather His "wheat," which means all of His repentant, living humans that he has created, and He will burn the "chaff," which means their separated deaths and evil, in an eternal fire. Luke 3:16-17; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). 

I Corinthians 3:11-15 cannot be about salvation by grace because humans saved by grace become completely saved by being washed clean of all sins and evil by the shed blood of Christ and never by any kind of fire. I Peter 1:18-19 (KJB). But these verses are about "any man" whose works are burned but he is saved by fire. This can only be a prophecy that "every man" not saved by grace will be saved by being dissolved by the fiery wrath of God so that God will save their living natures and cast their dead natures into an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). 

God's knowledge of all of His living humans whom He will save by His grace prevents any of them from ever being a captive of the Devil. But when Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven, He received the gifts of being able to release from captivity to the Devil all of His living humans confined to the regions of death when He visits them in the end of the world. He will cause even those humans who were rebellious to repent and believe. Psalm 68:18; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).
