					<description>Glenn clarified for me that Ivan Rogers believes that all humanity was fully redeemed at the cross.  I apologize for misrepresenting Ivan's position on redemption in my comment above.  When Ivan spoke of being saved in the life to come, he was employing the same distinction between redemption and salvation that we use - those who die not understanding the gospel will have their minds renewed/saved when they meet Christ and learn what he accomplished for them at the cross.  Outside of the redemption issue, Ivan Rogers still does hold to some cultural evangelical beliefs, but thankfully he agrees that redemption is complete.</description>

					<description>Hello Everyone,

I have a very important question i would like you to answer.

No one seems to be able to anwser this question, Has this prophecy been fulfilled yet, and if not when will it be fulfilled?

Thanks

Isaiah 11:6-8 
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den.</description>

					<description>I have often questioned how much different this world might be if children were raised from birth in the understanding that they are entirely and unconditionally loved by God instead of the way nearly all people are raised - being told that they are corrupted, sinful and rejected by God until they do something (believe/perform) to merit His love. Imagine the healthy mental outlook that would positively affect the world around them. I think the world would be more holistically healthy beyond our wildest dreams. Fantastic webcast!</description>

					<description>Excellent insight Jesse.  I also noticed from Ivan Rogers' comments on the Feb. 8  webcast that he still holds to several cliche evangelical beliefs.  He mentioned a few times about how he &quot;accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior&quot; and like Jesse mentioned, how &quot;God told him to go Bible college&quot; and so on.  He still believes that people have to make a decision to be saved, whether in this life or in hell.  So he believes everyone will be saved once they all believe in Christ.  That's where I was when I first started listening to the webcast, so I'm not knocking him for that, but he still has a ways to go.</description>

					<description>Couple of concerns about your Feb 8 / 2012 prodcast, Re: Ivan Rogers comments.

#1 
God spoke to him and told him to go to a Bible college that would teach him about Hell and that only those who believe in Christ would go to Heaven and teach him a completely false Gospel.
.
After graduating from that college he would go into the ministry and for over 50 years he would preach a false Gospel and deceive many even thousands of people into believing a false Gospel that he learned at that school God himself told Mr. Rogers to attend. Hmm.

Why would God do that? Did God really speak to him? Do you believe that God spoke to him? I don't think it was God speaking to him do you?

#2
Mr. Rogers also said 34 minutes into the broadcast, that he believes that ultimately all of humanity would be accepted { saved } in this life or in the world to come. 

What world to come is he speaking about?

I am very happy that at almost 80 years old, that the true God spoke to Mr. Rogers finally.

Thanks, Jesse</description>

					<description>For some reason, even though I approved this comment, it did not appear.  I am trying to copy and paste it here:

Dear Josh,

I am the righteounes of God in JESUS CHRIST the Lord, The Hope of Glory, and there is nothing good about me, Except Christ and Him Crucified.
I have been freed from the Law,
For Love estabishes the Law, and the Law that was sent over 430 years after the promise was given to Abraham can not disannul the promise that was given to  Abraham that God would justify the Gentiles by Faith.
Jesus nailed the law to the Cross with Him, taking it out of the way.
I was awaked to righteousness  over 20 years ago, dear Brother Josh. 

I am not a Christain,
I am a adopted son of the of God and I have the imputed rigtheousness of the Lord.
That is a finshed work in Christ.
Jesus died for the  SIN  of the whole World { Universal Salvation }.

Why are you questioning my righteouness in Christ, Josh?

My aurguement is about the New Heaven and the New Earth, not about global Righteousness. 

Matthew Perry

I do know the Bible and I understand the Bible just fine, and I would never say anything that I can't back up in the Bible.

So I will not SHUT UP! 

Acts 1:9-11
 
9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, &quot;Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 

Isaiah 65:17-18
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”
 
It will only be at the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth that God’s Grand Family Plan will be fully accomplished. This is when Father God Himself comes down from His current dwelling place in heaven, located somewhere in the universe, to this renewed earth with its renewed heaven (earth’s atmosphere) to dwell with men forever.
 
Revelation 21:1-6
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &quot;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&quot; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &quot;Behold, I make all things new.&quot; And He said to me, &quot;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&quot; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End...” 

The Bible speaks of the Kingdom of God coming in two phases. The first phase is the Millennial Kingdom of God, and the second phase is the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth.
 
What about the scripture Luke 17:20-21, which some have interpreted to say that the Kingdom of God is entirely spiritual, something that is set up in our hearts only? Lets now examine this scripture in detail.
 
Luke 17:20-21
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within (entos-meaning in the midst of) you.” 
 
Please note that Jesus Christ was speaking to the unbelieving, self-righteous Pharisees, so He did not mean that the Kingdom of God was within or in the hearts of these unbelieving Pharisees.
 
The Greek word entos translated to mean ‘within’ in a few versions of the Bible should be translated as ‘in the midst of’ you, or ‘among’ you, as correctly translated in the Revised Standard Version. What Jesus Christ said to these unbelieving Pharisees was that the only way to enter into the future Kingdom of God was to believe in Him, who was standing in the midst of them, and who was the very personification of the future coming Kingdom of God.


Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. 
 
Isaiah 11:6-8
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. 


Daniel 7:18, 27  
18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. 

27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him. 


Malachi 3:2-3 
2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire, And like launderers' soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LORD An offering in righteousness. 


Psalm 86:9
All nations whom You have made Shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And shall glorify Your name. 

Do we believe the Word of God? All nations will come and worship before God and they will all acknowledge Him, glorifying His name. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


Colossians 1:15-20 
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities (arche) or powers (exousia). All things were created through Him and for Him. 

17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. 

These verses are constructed in such a way that they leave absolutely no room for any doubt whatsoever that the word all can only mean all without any exception. The Holy Spirit, who inspired Apostle Paul to write this scripture, repeats the word all seven times before coming to the key verse, verse 20, which says that God will reconcile all things to Himself through Jesus Christ. If you believe verse 16 that Jesus Christ created all things in heaven and on earth, all things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, then you have no option but to also believe verse 20, which says that Jesus Christ will reconcile the same all things that He created. 

‘Thrones or dominions or principalities or powers’ as given in verse 16, definitely include Satan and his fallen angels. The truth that God will even reconcile all fallen angels exalts God’s power, wisdom, love, mercy, forgiveness and His justice to the full. God tells us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:17-21), and God will ultimately overcome all evil with good, so that the purpose of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the universal reconciliation of all things is absolutely and completely fullfilled. 

Let us clearly see from the Bible that the expression ‘thrones or dominions or principalities or powers’, as given in verse 16 above, includes Satan and his fallen angels. 

Ephesians 6:11-12 

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities (arche), against powers (exousia), against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

Please note that the Greek words arche and exousia used for principalities and powers here in Ephesians 6:12 are talking about the Satanic spiritual principalities and powers and their cunning attacks ‘the wiles of the devil’, and we are told that they do not refer to people ‘flesh and blood’. Also note that these ‘principalities and powers’ are ‘the rulers of darkness of this age’, and ‘spiritual hosts of wickedness’, who are of course, Satan (the devil) and his fallen angels (evil spirits/demons). It is very important to realise that arche and exousia are the same Greek words used in Colossians 1:16 for principalities and powers. So, it is clear that Colossians 1:15-20 most definitely includes the reconciliation of Satan and all fallen angels through the blood of the cross. 

Let us believe the Bible that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is all powerful and all sufficient to reconcile to God, not only all fallen men but also all fallen angels. Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world, which includes the sins of all fallen angels including Satan, the devil (1 John 2:2). 

There are four so-called 'proof texts' normally used by those who believe that Satan and his fallen angels will not be reconciled to God. These are Hebrews 2:14-18, 2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6 and Revelation 20:10. 

Lets now examine each of these texts in turn.

Text 1

Hebrews 2:14-18
 
14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 

16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. 

Jesus Christ, through His work on the cross, destroyed Satan, who is the devil, who had the power of death. Not only did Jesus destroy Satan by His work on the cross, but He also destroyed death itself, which is called the last enemy (1 Corinthians 15:25-26). 

From God’s perspective, both Satan and death no longer exist because it is only a matter of time, at the creation of the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth, that the work of the cross will be fully realised. This is when all things on earth and all things in heaven will have been reconciled to God through the blood of the cross. 
 
When death, which is the last enemy, is destroyed, the only thing that can burst forth is life, which is the resurrected immortal life in Christ for all people. Similarly, when Satan is ‘destroyed’, then he will be changed back to his original created state as a holy ministering angel. Please note that Satan cannot be annihilated out of existence because Satan is a spirit, an angelic being with an immortal body, and God created all angels to live forever. 

It is God’s nature to overcome evil with good, and ultimately God will overcome all evil with good (Romans 12:21). The false doctrine of hell teaches that God overcomes evil with even more evil, which is completely against the nature of God. 

In this present age, it is not God’s purpose to deal with Satan and his fallen angels, and God is not ‘giving aid to’ or trying to reconcile them now. Since the time of Adam and Eve up until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, God is only calling and choosing His Elect Bride, and preparing her for a special salvation in the First Resurrection (1 Timothy 4:10). God has allowed Satan and his fallen angels, as well as the vast majority of human beings, to remain in spiritual darkness until the Lake of Fire Judgement Age.

Text 2

2 Peter 2:4

For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell (tartaroo) and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment. 

In this verse, the Greek word tartaroo has been mistranslated as hell. Tartaroo is used only once in the Bible, and the context in which it appears reveals the meaning of the word as a prison of spiritual darkness. 

 Satan and his fallen angels were cast back down to earth when they first sinned by rebelling against God during the Pre-Adamic Age. They remain confined to this earth and its heaven (earth’s atmosphere) in spiritual darkness, reserved for their final judgement in the Lake of Fire. The Bible says that true believers, God's Elect who are the Bride of Christ, will rule and reign with Jesus Christ and they will have the privilege of judging angels. 

1 Corinthians 6:3
Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

Isaiah 65:17-18 
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”

The vision of the New Heaven and the New Earth was given to Apostle John approximately 2000 years ago on the Island of Patmos. 

Revelation 21:1-2 
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband

Revelation 21:3-6 
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &quot;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&quot; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &quot;Behold, I make all things new.&quot; And He said to me, &quot;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&quot; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End

Revelation 21:3-6 
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &quot;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&quot; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &quot;Behold, I make all things new.&quot; And He said to me, &quot;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&quot; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End...” 

What a wonderful and glorious scripture this is. Father God Himself will come down to this cleansed and renewed planet earth and to live with men forever. There will be no more crying, nor sorrow, nor death, nor pain for the former things will have passed away. The New Heaven and the New Earth, as described in this scripture, represent the conclusion of God’s plan for all. When Father God proclaims ‘It is done!’ He will have fulfilled His grand family plan of Universal Salvation and Reconciliation of all, through the work of the cross (Colossians 1:15-20). 

The place in Revelation 21:6 where God proclaims, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End’ should mark the end of chapter 21. This is because the remainder of the book of Revelation from the middle of Revelation 21:6 where it goes on to say, “I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death…etc.” refers back to previous ages before the reconciliation of all  things on earth and all things in heaven, and thus before the Eternal Seventh Age of the New Heaven and the New Earth where there will be no more pain, no more sorrow and no more death.  

Please note that there were no verses, paragraphs or chapter breaks in the ancient Hebrew and Greek Manuscripts from which the Bible versions are translated. These verses, paragraphs and chapter breaks do not form part of the original inspired writings, but were added later and sometimes placed inappropriately as in this case. Also, please note that the book of Revelation is not written to follow a strict chronological sequence of end time events. 

We see in John's vision in the book of Revelation that the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth immediately follows the Lake of Fire Judgement Age. Apostle Peter also understood that the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth would happen after God had first cleansed and renewed this earth with its heaven (earth’s atmosphere) by fire (2 Peter 3:11-13).

Apostle Paul clearly understood that the End, which is the fulfilment of God’s grand family plan for reconciliaition of all things, would happen when Jesus Christ delivers the Eternal Kingdom of the New Heaven and the New Earth to God the Father. 

1 Corinthians 15:22-28
 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For &quot;He has put all things under His feet.&quot; But when He says &quot;all things are put under Him,&quot; it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him that God may be all in all. 

This is a marvellous scripture that spells out the events, which will happen before the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth. 

There are four important points to note. 

The first point (verses 22-23) is that all of humanity, without exception (all in Adam) will be made alive in Christ, but each person in his own order, as decided by God. God has an order for when each person will be made alive in Christ, which means to be saved and reconciled to God. 

The second point (verse 24) is that the end, which is the fulfilment of God’s grand family plan, will happen when Jesus Christ delivers the Kingdom to God the Father. The Kingdom referred to here can only be the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth as this is when all in Adam will have been made alive (saved) in Christ.  

The third point (verses 24-28) is that there are two important events mentioned in these verses that will take place before Jesus Christ delivers the Eternal Kingdom of the New Heaven and the New Earth to God the Father. Firstly, Jesus Christ will put an end to ‘all rule, and all authority and power’, which are all rebellious angelic principalities and powers. Secondly, Jesus Christ will destroy the last enemy, which is death. All of Christ’s enemies will be made subject to Him. In these verses, the meaning of the word ‘subject’ is a willing subjection/obedience because the same scripture says that Christ Himself will be subject to God the Father. 

The fourth point (verse 28) is that when all things are made subject to Jesus Christ, then Jesus Christ Himself will be subject to God the Father, who will then be all in all. Of course, Jesus Christ is always subject to God the Father. The meaning in this verse is that once Jesus Christ has reconciled all things to God the Father, then Father God Himself will descend with the Holy City down from earth's heaven onto to the cleansed and renewed earth to live with His huge family forever, and be all in all. This is when the glorious Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth begins, and this when Father God proclaims the words, ‘It is done’ (Revelation 21:1-6).  

It is very important to understand that planet earth is destined to become God’s dwelling place, His throne and the headquarters of the universe. Many verses in the Bible show that God has put a special emphasis on planet earth. In the very first verse of the Bible, God singles out the creation of the earth from the rest of the universe by saying, ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’ (Genesis 1:1). Christ instructed His followers to pray for the Kingdom of God to come and be established on earth and for God’s will to be done on earth (Matthew 6:9-10).

Isaiah 65:17-18 
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”


Luke 23:34
Then Jesus said, &quot;Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. 

This is an amazing prayer request from Jesus Christ to God the Father. Think about it. There is no greater sin one could commit than to murder the very Son of God, and yet, there was not even the slightest hint of any revenge or unforgiveness in Jesus’ heart towards His unbelieving murderers. We know for certain that God will grant His Son’s request. Surely, this wonderful and gracious single request from Jesus to Father God, for the forgiveness of His enemies, is ample proof in and of itself that Jesus Christ did not believe in hell. 

Jesus Christ strongly condemned the religious hypocrisy and self-righteousness of the Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders who plotted against Him and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate to be crucified. However, Jesus never believed that these self-righteous chief priests, Pharisees and elders, who became His murderers, would end up in hell; in fact quite the opposite, Jesus clearly told them that they were all destined to enter the Kingdom of God. 

Matthew 21:31
Which of the two did the will of his father?&quot; They said to Him, &quot;The first.&quot; Jesus said to them, &quot;Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.&quot;

In this verse, Jesus directly addresses the Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders who confronted Him in the temple and questioned His authority. Let the truth of this scripture sink deep down into your heart. What is Jesus saying here? Jesus is saying that these Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders, who crucified Him, will enter the Kingdom of God, but not before tax collectors and harlots. Do we believe Jesus’ words? Surely, this was an opportunity for Jesus to warn these chief priests, Pharisees and elders about hell, but instead Jesus says that even they are destined to enter the Kingdom of God. Did Jesus believe in hell? Absolutely not!
 

1 Corinthians 15:20-23
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfuits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

Christ is the First of the firstfruits. God’s Saints, the true Elect believers are the firstfruits with Christ (James 1:18). Therefore, the order for them to be made spiritually alive in Christ (born again) is different from all those who die as unbelievers. These Elect believers are made spiritually alive in Christ before they die. However, all people who die as unbelievers will be made spiritually alive in Christ after they die, after they are resurrected from the dead and judged in the Lake of Fire.

Saving faith is God’s gift and it is not of human origin. It is impossible for us to believe in and identify ourselves with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ through mere human faith because human faith is always self-righteous. Many Christians fail to understand the vital difference between God given saving faith and human self-righteous faith. The faith to believe in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is indeed the gift of the same faith that God granted to Abraham ‘when he believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness’. The gift of this same ‘Abrahamic faith’ is granted to God’s Elect who are blessed along with believing Abraham. 

Ezekiel 37:11-14 
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel’. 13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.

Israel’s hope is not lost. As this scripture says in verses 11 and 12 above, all Israelites who are cut off (the cut off branches from the Holy Olive Tree) and who think that their hope is lost, will be resurrected. This will be at the Second Resurrection when all ‘cut off’ unbelieving Israelites will be resurrected in their immortal yet still unsaved bodies, and they will all be placed in their own land (Israel) as prophesied by Ezekiel. 

Genesis 15:18 
On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates”.

As the Abrahamic Covenant was made circa 1921 B.C., this means that almost 4000 years have passed since God promised Abraham that his descendants would be a great and blessed nation, living in the land with boundaries from the river of Egypt to the River Euphrates. The important question facing us is, ‘Has God fulfilled His promise to Abraham yet?’ The answer is an absolute ‘no’. God has not fulfilled this promise yet. 

To date, Israel has never been a great and blessed nation occupying the full extent of the land promised to Abraham. Also, all the families of the earth have not yet come into the blessing of the Seed of Abraham, who is Jesus Christ. 


Romans 5:18 
Therefore, as through one man’s (Adam's) offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s (Jesus') righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 

Let us believe our Bibles. Our God is the Great Saviour of the world. He is absolutely not the great torturer of the vast majority of humanity in hell, as sadly and shockingly believed by most Christians, who adhere to the false heretical doctrine of hell. 

Most certainly, our Lord Jesus Christ did not believe in or preach hell anywhere in the Bible. He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness for the salvation and reconciliation of all,

One last thing, Josh we have to remember that when ever something is created we can see it and feel it. If we create a car or or any other object we can see it and feel it and if God said He is going to CREATE a New Heaven a New Earth than He's going to that, and we be able to will see it and feel it.

Thanks for your time.

Love your Brother

That is a finshed work in Christ.
Jesus died for the  SIN  of the whole World { Universal Salvation }.</p>
<p>Why are you questioning my righteouness in Christ, Josh?</p>
<p>My aurguement is about the New Heaven and the New Earth, not about global Righteousness. </p>
<p>Matthew Perry</p>
<p>I do know the Bible and I understand the Bible just fine, and I would never say anything that I can&#8217;t back up in the Bible.</p>
<p>So I will not SHUT UP! </p>
<p>Acts 1:9-11</p>
<p>9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, &#8220;Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven</p>
<p>1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. </p>
<p>Isaiah 65:17-18
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”</p>
<p>It will only be at the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth that God’s Grand Family Plan will be fully accomplished. This is when Father God Himself comes down from His current dwelling place in heaven, located somewhere in the universe, to this renewed earth with its renewed heaven (earth’s atmosphere) to dwell with men forever.</p>
<p>Revelation 21:1-6
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &#8220;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&#8221; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &#8220;Behold, I make all things new.&#8221; And He said to me, &#8220;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&#8221; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End&#8230;” </p>
<p>The Bible speaks of the Kingdom of God coming in two phases. The first phase is the Millennial Kingdom of God, and the second phase is the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth.</p>
<p>What about the scripture Luke 17:20-21, which some have interpreted to say that the Kingdom of God is entirely spiritual, something that is set up in our hearts only? Lets now examine this scripture in detail.</p>
<p>Luke 17:20-21
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within (entos-meaning in the midst of) you.” </p>
<p>Please note that Jesus Christ was speaking to the unbelieving, self-righteous Pharisees, so He did not mean that the Kingdom of God was within or in the hearts of these unbelieving Pharisees.</p>
<p>The Greek word entos translated to mean ‘within’ in a few versions of the Bible should be translated as ‘in the midst of’ you, or ‘among’ you, as correctly translated in the Revised Standard Version. What Jesus Christ said to these unbelieving Pharisees was that the only way to enter into the future Kingdom of God was to believe in Him, who was standing in the midst of them, and who was the very personification of the future coming Kingdom of God.</p>
<p>Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. </p>
<p>Isaiah 11:6-8
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra&#8217;s hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper&#8217;s den. </p>
<p>Daniel 7:18, 27  
18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. </p>
<p>27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him. </p>
<p>Malachi 3:2-3 
2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner&#8217;s fire, And like launderers&#8217; soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LORD An offering in righteousness. </p>
<p>Psalm 86:9
All nations whom You have made Shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And shall glorify Your name. </p>
<p>Do we believe the Word of God? All nations will come and worship before God and they will all acknowledge Him, glorifying His name. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.</p>
<p>Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.</p>
<p>Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.</p>
<p>Colossians 1:15-20 
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities (arche) or powers (exousia). All things were created through Him and for Him. </p>
<p>17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. </p>
<p>19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. </p>
<p>These verses are constructed in such a way that they leave absolutely no room for any doubt whatsoever that the word all can only mean all without any exception. The Holy Spirit, who inspired Apostle Paul to write this scripture, repeats the word all seven times before coming to the key verse, verse 20, which says that God will reconcile all things to Himself through Jesus Christ. If you believe verse 16 that Jesus Christ created all things in heaven and on earth, all things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, then you have no option but to also believe verse 20, which says that Jesus Christ will reconcile the same all things that He created. </p>
<p>‘Thrones or dominions or principalities or powers’ as given in verse 16, definitely include Satan and his fallen angels. The truth that God will even reconcile all fallen angels exalts God’s power, wisdom, love, mercy, forgiveness and His justice to the full. God tells us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:17-21), and God will ultimately overcome all evil with good, so that the purpose of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the universal reconciliation of all things is absolutely and completely fullfilled. </p>
<p>Let us clearly see from the Bible that the expression ‘thrones or dominions or principalities or powers’, as given in verse 16 above, includes Satan and his fallen angels. </p>
<p>Ephesians 6:11-12 </p>
<p>11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities (arche), against powers (exousia), against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. </p>
<p>Please note that the Greek words arche and exousia used for principalities and powers here in Ephesians 6:12 are talking about the Satanic spiritual principalities and powers and their cunning attacks ‘the wiles of the devil’, and we are told that they do not refer to people ‘flesh and blood’. Also note that these ‘principalities and powers’ are ‘the rulers of darkness of this age’, and ‘spiritual hosts of wickedness’, who are of course, Satan (the devil) and his fallen angels (evil spirits/demons). It is very important to realise that arche and exousia are the same Greek words used in Colossians 1:16 for principalities and powers. So, it is clear that Colossians 1:15-20 most definitely includes the reconciliation of Satan and all fallen angels through the blood of the cross. </p>
<p>Let us believe the Bible that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is all powerful and all sufficient to reconcile to God, not only all fallen men but also all fallen angels. Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world, which includes the sins of all fallen angels including Satan, the devil (1 John 2:2). </p>
<p>There are four so-called &#8216;proof texts&#8217; normally used by those who believe that Satan and his fallen angels will not be reconciled to God. These are Hebrews 2:14-18, 2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6 and Revelation 20:10. </p>
<p>Lets now examine each of these texts in turn.</p>
<p>Text 1</p>
<p>Hebrews 2:14-18</p>
<p>14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. </p>
<p>16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. </p>
<p>Jesus Christ, through His work on the cross, destroyed Satan, who is the devil, who had the power of death. Not only did Jesus destroy Satan by His work on the cross, but He also destroyed death itself, which is called the last enemy (1 Corinthians 15:25-26). </p>
<p>From God’s perspective, both Satan and death no longer exist because it is only a matter of time, at the creation of the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth, that the work of the cross will be fully realised. This is when all things on earth and all things in heaven will have been reconciled to God through the blood of the cross. </p>
<p>When death, which is the last enemy, is destroyed, the only thing that can burst forth is life, which is the resurrected immortal life in Christ for all people. Similarly, when Satan is ‘destroyed’, then he will be changed back to his original created state as a holy ministering angel. Please note that Satan cannot be annihilated out of existence because Satan is a spirit, an angelic being with an immortal body, and God created all angels to live forever. </p>
<p>It is God’s nature to overcome evil with good, and ultimately God will overcome all evil with good (Romans 12:21). The false doctrine of hell teaches that God overcomes evil with even more evil, which is completely against the nature of God. </p>
<p>In this present age, it is not God’s purpose to deal with Satan and his fallen angels, and God is not ‘giving aid to’ or trying to reconcile them now. Since the time of Adam and Eve up until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, God is only calling and choosing His Elect Bride, and preparing her for a special salvation in the First Resurrection (1 Timothy 4:10). God has allowed Satan and his fallen angels, as well as the vast majority of human beings, to remain in spiritual darkness until the Lake of Fire Judgement Age.</p>
<p>Text 2</p>
<p>2 Peter 2:4</p>
<p>For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell (tartaroo) and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment. </p>
<p>In this verse, the Greek word tartaroo has been mistranslated as hell. Tartaroo is used only once in the Bible, and the context in which it appears reveals the meaning of the word as a prison of spiritual darkness. </p>
<p> Satan and his fallen angels were cast back down to earth when they first sinned by rebelling against God during the Pre-Adamic Age. They remain confined to this earth and its heaven (earth’s atmosphere) in spiritual darkness, reserved for their final judgement in the Lake of Fire. The Bible says that true believers, God&#8217;s Elect who are the Bride of Christ, will rule and reign with Jesus Christ and they will have the privilege of judging angels. </p>
<p>1 Corinthians 6:3
Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?</p>
<p>Isaiah 65:17-18 
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”</p>
<p>The vision of the New Heaven and the New Earth was given to Apostle John approximately 2000 years ago on the Island of Patmos. </p>
<p>Revelation 21:1-2 
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband</p>
<p>Revelation 21:3-6 
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &#8220;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&#8221; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &#8220;Behold, I make all things new.&#8221; And He said to me, &#8220;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&#8221; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End</p>
<p>Revelation 21:3-6 
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &#8220;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&#8221; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &#8220;Behold, I make all things new.&#8221; And He said to me, &#8220;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&#8221; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End&#8230;” </p>
<p>What a wonderful and glorious scripture this is. Father God Himself will come down to this cleansed and renewed planet earth and to live with men forever. There will be no more crying, nor sorrow, nor death, nor pain for the former things will have passed away. The New Heaven and the New Earth, as described in this scripture, represent the conclusion of God’s plan for all. When Father God proclaims ‘It is done!’ He will have fulfilled His grand family plan of Universal Salvation and Reconciliation of all, through the work of the cross (Colossians 1:15-20). </p>
<p>The place in Revelation 21:6 where God proclaims, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End’ should mark the end of chapter 21. This is because the remainder of the book of Revelation from the middle of Revelation 21:6 where it goes on to say, “I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death…etc.” refers back to previous ages before the reconciliation of all  things on earth and all things in heaven, and thus before the Eternal Seventh Age of the New Heaven and the New Earth where there will be no more pain, no more sorrow and no more death.  </p>
<p>Please note that there were no verses, paragraphs or chapter breaks in the ancient Hebrew and Greek Manuscripts from which the Bible versions are translated. These verses, paragraphs and chapter breaks do not form part of the original inspired writings, but were added later and sometimes placed inappropriately as in this case. Also, please note that the book of Revelation is not written to follow a strict chronological sequence of end time events. </p>
<p>We see in John&#8217;s vision in the book of Revelation that the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth immediately follows the Lake of Fire Judgement Age. Apostle Peter also understood that the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth would happen after God had first cleansed and renewed this earth with its heaven (earth’s atmosphere) by fire (2 Peter 3:11-13).</p>
<p>Apostle Paul clearly understood that the End, which is the fulfilment of God’s grand family plan for reconciliaition of all things, would happen when Jesus Christ delivers the Eternal Kingdom of the New Heaven and the New Earth to God the Father. </p>
<p>1 Corinthians 15:22-28
 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ&#8217;s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For &#8220;He has put all things under His feet.&#8221; But when He says &#8220;all things are put under Him,&#8221; it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him that God may be all in all. </p>
<p>This is a marvellous scripture that spells out the events, which will happen before the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth. </p>
<p>There are four important points to note. </p>
<p>The first point (verses 22-23) is that all of humanity, without exception (all in Adam) will be made alive in Christ, but each person in his own order, as decided by God. God has an order for when each person will be made alive in Christ, which means to be saved and reconciled to God. </p>
<p>The second point (verse 24) is that the end, which is the fulfilment of God’s grand family plan, will happen when Jesus Christ delivers the Kingdom to God the Father. The Kingdom referred to here can only be the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth as this is when all in Adam will have been made alive (saved) in Christ.  </p>
<p>The third point (verses 24-28) is that there are two important events mentioned in these verses that will take place before Jesus Christ delivers the Eternal Kingdom of the New Heaven and the New Earth to God the Father. Firstly, Jesus Christ will put an end to ‘all rule, and all authority and power’, which are all rebellious angelic principalities and powers. Secondly, Jesus Christ will destroy the last enemy, which is death. All of Christ’s enemies will be made subject to Him. In these verses, the meaning of the word ‘subject’ is a willing subjection/obedience because the same scripture says that Christ Himself will be subject to God the Father. </p>
<p>The fourth point (verse 28) is that when all things are made subject to Jesus Christ, then Jesus Christ Himself will be subject to God the Father, who will then be all in all. Of course, Jesus Christ is always subject to God the Father. The meaning in this verse is that once Jesus Christ has reconciled all things to God the Father, then Father God Himself will descend with the Holy City down from earth&#8217;s heaven onto to the cleansed and renewed earth to live with His huge family forever, and be all in all. This is when the glorious Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth begins, and this when Father God proclaims the words, ‘It is done’ (Revelation 21:1-6).  </p>
<p>It is very important to understand that planet earth is destined to become God’s dwelling place, His throne and the headquarters of the universe. Many verses in the Bible show that God has put a special emphasis on planet earth. In the very first verse of the Bible, God singles out the creation of the earth from the rest of the universe by saying, ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’ (Genesis 1:1). Christ instructed His followers to pray for the Kingdom of God to come and be established on earth and for God’s will to be done on earth (Matthew 6:9-10).</p>
<p>Isaiah 65:17-18 
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”</p>
<p>Luke 23:34
Then Jesus said, &#8220;Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. </p>
<p>This is an amazing prayer request from Jesus Christ to God the Father. Think about it. There is no greater sin one could commit than to murder the very Son of God, and yet, there was not even the slightest hint of any revenge or unforgiveness in Jesus’ heart towards His unbelieving murderers. We know for certain that God will grant His Son’s request. Surely, this wonderful and gracious single request from Jesus to Father God, for the forgiveness of His enemies, is ample proof in and of itself that Jesus Christ did not believe in hell. </p>
<p>Jesus Christ strongly condemned the religious hypocrisy and self-righteousness of the Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders who plotted against Him and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate to be crucified. However, Jesus never believed that these self-righteous chief priests, Pharisees and elders, who became His murderers, would end up in hell; in fact quite the opposite, Jesus clearly told them that they were all destined to enter the Kingdom of God. </p>
<p>Matthew 21:31
Which of the two did the will of his father?&#8221; They said to Him, &#8220;The first.&#8221; Jesus said to them, &#8220;Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.&#8221;</p>
<p>In this verse, Jesus directly addresses the Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders who confronted Him in the temple and questioned His authority. Let the truth of this scripture sink deep down into your heart. What is Jesus saying here? Jesus is saying that these Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders, who crucified Him, will enter the Kingdom of God, but not before tax collectors and harlots. Do we believe Jesus’ words? Surely, this was an opportunity for Jesus to warn these chief priests, Pharisees and elders about hell, but instead Jesus says that even they are destined to enter the Kingdom of God. Did Jesus believe in hell? Absolutely not!</p>
<p>1 Corinthians 15:20-23
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfuits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.</p>
<p>Christ is the First of the firstfruits. God’s Saints, the true Elect believers are the firstfruits with Christ (James 1:18). Therefore, the order for them to be made spiritually alive in Christ (born again) is different from all those who die as unbelievers. These Elect believers are made spiritually alive in Christ before they die. However, all people who die as unbelievers will be made spiritually alive in Christ after they die, after they are resurrected from the dead and judged in the Lake of Fire.</p>
<p>Saving faith is God’s gift and it is not of human origin. It is impossible for us to believe in and identify ourselves with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ through mere human faith because human faith is always self-righteous. Many Christians fail to understand the vital difference between God given saving faith and human self-righteous faith. The faith to believe in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is indeed the gift of the same faith that God granted to Abraham ‘when he believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness’. The gift of this same ‘Abrahamic faith’ is granted to God’s Elect who are blessed along with believing Abraham. </p>
<p>Ezekiel 37:11-14 
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel’. 13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.</p>
<p>Israel’s hope is not lost. As this scripture says in verses 11 and 12 above, all Israelites who are cut off (the cut off branches from the Holy Olive Tree) and who think that their hope is lost, will be resurrected. This will be at the Second Resurrection when all ‘cut off’ unbelieving Israelites will be resurrected in their immortal yet still unsaved bodies, and they will all be placed in their own land (Israel) as prophesied by Ezekiel. </p>
<p>Genesis 15:18 
On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates”.</p>
<p>As the Abrahamic Covenant was made circa 1921 B.C., this means that almost 4000 years have passed since God promised Abraham that his descendants would be a great and blessed nation, living in the land with boundaries from the river of Egypt to the River Euphrates. The important question facing us is, ‘Has God fulfilled His promise to Abraham yet?’ The answer is an absolute ‘no’. God has not fulfilled this promise yet. </p>
<p>To date, Israel has never been a great and blessed nation occupying the full extent of the land promised to Abraham. Also, all the families of the earth have not yet come into the blessing of the Seed of Abraham, who is Jesus Christ. </p>
<p>Romans 5:18 
Therefore, as through one man’s (Adam&#8217;s) offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s (Jesus&#8217;) righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. </p>
<p>Let us believe our Bibles. Our God is the Great Saviour of the world. He is absolutely not the great torturer of the vast majority of humanity in hell, as sadly and shockingly believed by most Christians, who adhere to the false heretical doctrine of hell. </p>
<p>Most certainly, our Lord Jesus Christ did not believe in or preach hell anywhere in the Bible. He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness for the salvation and reconciliation of all,</p>
<p>One last thing, Josh we have to remember that when ever something is created we can see it and feel it. If we create a car or or any other object we can see it and feel it and if God said He is going to CREATE a New Heaven a New Earth than He&#8217;s going to that, and we be able to will see it and feel it.</p>
<p>Thanks for your time.</p>
<p>Love your Brother</p>

					<description>Dear Josh,

I am the righteounes of God in JESUS CHRIST the Lord, The Hope of Glory, and there is nothing good about me, Except Christ and Him Crucified.
I have been freed from the Law,
For Love estabishes the Law, and the Law that was sent over 430 years after the promise was given to Abraham can not disannul the promise that was given to  Abraham that God would justify the Gentiles by Faith.
Jesus nailed the law to the Cross with Him, taking it out of the way.
I was awaked to righteousness  over 20 years ago, dear Brother Josh. 

I am not a Christain,
I am a adopted son of the of God and I have the imputed rigtheousness of the Lord.
That is a finshed work in Christ.
Jesus died for the  SIN  of the whole World { Universal Salvation }.

Why are you questioning my righteouness in Christ, Josh?

My aurguement is about the New Heaven and the New Earth, not about global Righteousness. 

Matthew Perry

I do know the Bible and I understand the Bible just fine, and I would never say anything that I can't back up in the Bible.

So I will not SHUT UP! 

Acts 1:9-11
 
9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, &quot;Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 

Isaiah 65:17-18
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”
 
It will only be at the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth that God’s Grand Family Plan will be fully accomplished. This is when Father God Himself comes down from His current dwelling place in heaven, located somewhere in the universe, to this renewed earth with its renewed heaven (earth’s atmosphere) to dwell with men forever.
 
Revelation 21:1-6
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &quot;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&quot; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &quot;Behold, I make all things new.&quot; And He said to me, &quot;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&quot; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End...” 

The Bible speaks of the Kingdom of God coming in two phases. The first phase is the Millennial Kingdom of God, and the second phase is the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth.
 
What about the scripture Luke 17:20-21, which some have interpreted to say that the Kingdom of God is entirely spiritual, something that is set up in our hearts only? Lets now examine this scripture in detail.
 
Luke 17:20-21
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within (entos-meaning in the midst of) you.” 
 
Please note that Jesus Christ was speaking to the unbelieving, self-righteous Pharisees, so He did not mean that the Kingdom of God was within or in the hearts of these unbelieving Pharisees.
 
The Greek word entos translated to mean ‘within’ in a few versions of the Bible should be translated as ‘in the midst of’ you, or ‘among’ you, as correctly translated in the Revised Standard Version. What Jesus Christ said to these unbelieving Pharisees was that the only way to enter into the future Kingdom of God was to believe in Him, who was standing in the midst of them, and who was the very personification of the future coming Kingdom of God.


Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. 
 
Isaiah 11:6-8 
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. 


Daniel 7:18, 27  
18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. 

27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him. 


Malachi 3:2-3 
2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire, And like launderers' soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LORD An offering in righteousness. 


Psalm 86:9
All nations whom You have made Shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And shall glorify Your name. 

Do we believe the Word of God? All nations will come and worship before God and they will all acknowledge Him, glorifying His name. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.


Colossians 1:15-20 
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities (arche) or powers (exousia). All things were created through Him and for Him. 

17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. 

These verses are constructed in such a way that they leave absolutely no room for any doubt whatsoever that the word all can only mean all without any exception. The Holy Spirit, who inspired Apostle Paul to write this scripture, repeats the word all seven times before coming to the key verse, verse 20, which says that God will reconcile all things to Himself through Jesus Christ. If you believe verse 16 that Jesus Christ created all things in heaven and on earth, all things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, then you have no option but to also believe verse 20, which says that Jesus Christ will reconcile the same all things that He created. 

‘Thrones or dominions or principalities or powers’ as given in verse 16, definitely include Satan and his fallen angels. The truth that God will even reconcile all fallen angels exalts God’s power, wisdom, love, mercy, forgiveness and His justice to the full. God tells us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:17-21), and God will ultimately overcome all evil with good, so that the purpose of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the universal reconciliation of all things is absolutely and completely fullfilled. 

Let us clearly see from the Bible that the expression ‘thrones or dominions or principalities or powers’, as given in verse 16 above, includes Satan and his fallen angels. 

Ephesians 6:11-12 

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities (arche), against powers (exousia), against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

Please note that the Greek words arche and exousia used for principalities and powers here in Ephesians 6:12 are talking about the Satanic spiritual principalities and powers and their cunning attacks ‘the wiles of the devil’, and we are told that they do not refer to people ‘flesh and blood’. Also note that these ‘principalities and powers’ are ‘the rulers of darkness of this age’, and ‘spiritual hosts of wickedness’, who are of course, Satan (the devil) and his fallen angels (evil spirits/demons). It is very important to realise that arche and exousia are the same Greek words used in Colossians 1:16 for principalities and powers. So, it is clear that Colossians 1:15-20 most definitely includes the reconciliation of Satan and all fallen angels through the blood of the cross. 

Let us believe the Bible that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is all powerful and all sufficient to reconcile to God, not only all fallen men but also all fallen angels. Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world, which includes the sins of all fallen angels including Satan, the devil (1 John 2:2). 

There are four so-called 'proof texts' normally used by those who believe that Satan and his fallen angels will not be reconciled to God. These are Hebrews 2:14-18, 2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6 and Revelation 20:10. 

Lets now examine each of these texts in turn.

Text 1

Hebrews 2:14-18
 
14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 

16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. 

Jesus Christ, through His work on the cross, destroyed Satan, who is the devil, who had the power of death. Not only did Jesus destroy Satan by His work on the cross, but He also destroyed death itself, which is called the last enemy (1 Corinthians 15:25-26). 

From God’s perspective, both Satan and death no longer exist because it is only a matter of time, at the creation of the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth, that the work of the cross will be fully realised. This is when all things on earth and all things in heaven will have been reconciled to God through the blood of the cross. 
 
When death, which is the last enemy, is destroyed, the only thing that can burst forth is life, which is the resurrected immortal life in Christ for all people. Similarly, when Satan is ‘destroyed’, then he will be changed back to his original created state as a holy ministering angel. Please note that Satan cannot be annihilated out of existence because Satan is a spirit, an angelic being with an immortal body, and God created all angels to live forever. 

It is God’s nature to overcome evil with good, and ultimately God will overcome all evil with good (Romans 12:21). The false doctrine of hell teaches that God overcomes evil with even more evil, which is completely against the nature of God. 

In this present age, it is not God’s purpose to deal with Satan and his fallen angels, and God is not ‘giving aid to’ or trying to reconcile them now. Since the time of Adam and Eve up until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, God is only calling and choosing His Elect Bride, and preparing her for a special salvation in the First Resurrection (1 Timothy 4:10). God has allowed Satan and his fallen angels, as well as the vast majority of human beings, to remain in spiritual darkness until the Lake of Fire Judgement Age.

Text 2

2 Peter 2:4

For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell (tartaroo) and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment. 

In this verse, the Greek word tartaroo has been mistranslated as hell. Tartaroo is used only once in the Bible, and the context in which it appears reveals the meaning of the word as a prison of spiritual darkness. 

 Satan and his fallen angels were cast back down to earth when they first sinned by rebelling against God during the Pre-Adamic Age. They remain confined to this earth and its heaven (earth’s atmosphere) in spiritual darkness, reserved for their final judgement in the Lake of Fire. The Bible says that true believers, God's Elect who are the Bride of Christ, will rule and reign with Jesus Christ and they will have the privilege of judging angels. 

1 Corinthians 6:3
Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

Isaiah 65:17-18 
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”

The vision of the New Heaven and the New Earth was given to Apostle John approximately 2000 years ago on the Island of Patmos. 

Revelation 21:1-2 
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband

Revelation 21:3-6 
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &quot;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&quot; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &quot;Behold, I make all things new.&quot; And He said to me, &quot;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&quot; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End

Revelation 21:3-6 
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &quot;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&quot; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &quot;Behold, I make all things new.&quot; And He said to me, &quot;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&quot; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End...” 

What a wonderful and glorious scripture this is. Father God Himself will come down to this cleansed and renewed planet earth and to live with men forever. There will be no more crying, nor sorrow, nor death, nor pain for the former things will have passed away. The New Heaven and the New Earth, as described in this scripture, represent the conclusion of God’s plan for all. When Father God proclaims ‘It is done!’ He will have fulfilled His grand family plan of Universal Salvation and Reconciliation of all, through the work of the cross (Colossians 1:15-20). 

The place in Revelation 21:6 where God proclaims, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End’ should mark the end of chapter 21. This is because the remainder of the book of Revelation from the middle of Revelation 21:6 where it goes on to say, “I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death…etc.” refers back to previous ages before the reconciliation of all  things on earth and all things in heaven, and thus before the Eternal Seventh Age of the New Heaven and the New Earth where there will be no more pain, no more sorrow and no more death.  

Please note that there were no verses, paragraphs or chapter breaks in the ancient Hebrew and Greek Manuscripts from which the Bible versions are translated. These verses, paragraphs and chapter breaks do not form part of the original inspired writings, but were added later and sometimes placed inappropriately as in this case. Also, please note that the book of Revelation is not written to follow a strict chronological sequence of end time events. 

We see in John's vision in the book of Revelation that the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth immediately follows the Lake of Fire Judgement Age. Apostle Peter also understood that the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth would happen after God had first cleansed and renewed this earth with its heaven (earth’s atmosphere) by fire (2 Peter 3:11-13).

Apostle Paul clearly understood that the End, which is the fulfilment of God’s grand family plan for reconciliaition of all things, would happen when Jesus Christ delivers the Eternal Kingdom of the New Heaven and the New Earth to God the Father. 

1 Corinthians 15:22-28
 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For &quot;He has put all things under His feet.&quot; But when He says &quot;all things are put under Him,&quot; it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him that God may be all in all. 

This is a marvellous scripture that spells out the events, which will happen before the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth. 

There are four important points to note. 

The first point (verses 22-23) is that all of humanity, without exception (all in Adam) will be made alive in Christ, but each person in his own order, as decided by God. God has an order for when each person will be made alive in Christ, which means to be saved and reconciled to God. 

The second point (verse 24) is that the end, which is the fulfilment of God’s grand family plan, will happen when Jesus Christ delivers the Kingdom to God the Father. The Kingdom referred to here can only be the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth as this is when all in Adam will have been made alive (saved) in Christ.  

The third point (verses 24-28) is that there are two important events mentioned in these verses that will take place before Jesus Christ delivers the Eternal Kingdom of the New Heaven and the New Earth to God the Father. Firstly, Jesus Christ will put an end to ‘all rule, and all authority and power’, which are all rebellious angelic principalities and powers. Secondly, Jesus Christ will destroy the last enemy, which is death. All of Christ’s enemies will be made subject to Him. In these verses, the meaning of the word ‘subject’ is a willing subjection/obedience because the same scripture says that Christ Himself will be subject to God the Father. 

The fourth point (verse 28) is that when all things are made subject to Jesus Christ, then Jesus Christ Himself will be subject to God the Father, who will then be all in all. Of course, Jesus Christ is always subject to God the Father. The meaning in this verse is that once Jesus Christ has reconciled all things to God the Father, then Father God Himself will descend with the Holy City down from earth's heaven onto to the cleansed and renewed earth to live with His huge family forever, and be all in all. This is when the glorious Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth begins, and this when Father God proclaims the words, ‘It is done’ (Revelation 21:1-6).  

It is very important to understand that planet earth is destined to become God’s dwelling place, His throne and the headquarters of the universe. Many verses in the Bible show that God has put a special emphasis on planet earth. In the very first verse of the Bible, God singles out the creation of the earth from the rest of the universe by saying, ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’ (Genesis 1:1). Christ instructed His followers to pray for the Kingdom of God to come and be established on earth and for God’s will to be done on earth (Matthew 6:9-10).

Isaiah 65:17-18 
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”


Luke 23:34
Then Jesus said, &quot;Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. 

This is an amazing prayer request from Jesus Christ to God the Father. Think about it. There is no greater sin one could commit than to murder the very Son of God, and yet, there was not even the slightest hint of any revenge or unforgiveness in Jesus’ heart towards His unbelieving murderers. We know for certain that God will grant His Son’s request. Surely, this wonderful and gracious single request from Jesus to Father God, for the forgiveness of His enemies, is ample proof in and of itself that Jesus Christ did not believe in hell. 

Jesus Christ strongly condemned the religious hypocrisy and self-righteousness of the Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders who plotted against Him and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate to be crucified. However, Jesus never believed that these self-righteous chief priests, Pharisees and elders, who became His murderers, would end up in hell; in fact quite the opposite, Jesus clearly told them that they were all destined to enter the Kingdom of God. 

Matthew 21:31
Which of the two did the will of his father?&quot; They said to Him, &quot;The first.&quot; Jesus said to them, &quot;Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.&quot;

In this verse, Jesus directly addresses the Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders who confronted Him in the temple and questioned His authority. Let the truth of this scripture sink deep down into your heart. What is Jesus saying here? Jesus is saying that these Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders, who crucified Him, will enter the Kingdom of God, but not before tax collectors and harlots. Do we believe Jesus’ words? Surely, this was an opportunity for Jesus to warn these chief priests, Pharisees and elders about hell, but instead Jesus says that even they are destined to enter the Kingdom of God. Did Jesus believe in hell? Absolutely not!
 

1 Corinthians 15:20-23
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfuits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

Christ is the First of the firstfruits. God’s Saints, the true Elect believers are the firstfruits with Christ (James 1:18). Therefore, the order for them to be made spiritually alive in Christ (born again) is different from all those who die as unbelievers. These Elect believers are made spiritually alive in Christ before they die. However, all people who die as unbelievers will be made spiritually alive in Christ after they die, after they are resurrected from the dead and judged in the Lake of Fire.

Saving faith is God’s gift and it is not of human origin. It is impossible for us to believe in and identify ourselves with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ through mere human faith because human faith is always self-righteous. Many Christians fail to understand the vital difference between God given saving faith and human self-righteous faith. The faith to believe in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is indeed the gift of the same faith that God granted to Abraham ‘when he believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness’. The gift of this same ‘Abrahamic faith’ is granted to God’s Elect who are blessed along with believing Abraham. 

Ezekiel 37:11-14 
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel’. 13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.

Israel’s hope is not lost. As this scripture says in verses 11 and 12 above, all Israelites who are cut off (the cut off branches from the Holy Olive Tree) and who think that their hope is lost, will be resurrected. This will be at the Second Resurrection when all ‘cut off’ unbelieving Israelites will be resurrected in their immortal yet still unsaved bodies, and they will all be placed in their own land (Israel) as prophesied by Ezekiel. 

Genesis 15:18 
On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates”.

As the Abrahamic Covenant was made circa 1921 B.C., this means that almost 4000 years have passed since God promised Abraham that his descendants would be a great and blessed nation, living in the land with boundaries from the river of Egypt to the River Euphrates. The important question facing us is, ‘Has God fulfilled His promise to Abraham yet?’ The answer is an absolute ‘no’. God has not fulfilled this promise yet. 

To date, Israel has never been a great and blessed nation occupying the full extent of the land promised to Abraham. Also, all the families of the earth have not yet come into the blessing of the Seed of Abraham, who is Jesus Christ. 


Romans 5:18 
Therefore, as through one man’s (Adam's) offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s (Jesus') righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 

Let us believe our Bibles. Our God is the Great Saviour of the world. He is absolutely not the great torturer of the vast majority of humanity in hell, as sadly and shockingly believed by most Christians, who adhere to the false heretical doctrine of hell. 

Most certainly, our Lord Jesus Christ did not believe in or preach hell anywhere in the Bible. He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness for the salvation and reconciliation of all,

One last thing, Josh we have to remember that when ever something is created we can see it and feel it. If we create a car or or any other object we can see it and feel it and if God said He is going to CREATE a New Heaven a New Earth than He's going to that, and we be able to will see it and feel it.

Thanks for your time.

Love your Brother

<p>9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, &#8220;Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. </p>

God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&#8221; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &#8220;Behold, I make all things new.&#8221; And He said to me, &#8220;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&#8221; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End&#8230;” </p>
<p>The Bible speaks of the Kingdom of God coming in two phases. The first phase is the Millennial Kingdom of God, and the second phase is the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth.</p>
<p>What about the scripture Luke 17:20-21, which some have interpreted to say that the Kingdom of God is entirely spiritual, something that is set up in our hearts only? Lets now examine this scripture in detail.</p>
<p>Luke 17:20-21
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within (entos-meaning in the midst of) you.” </p>
<p>Please note that Jesus Christ was speaking to the unbelieving, self-righteous Pharisees, so He did not mean that the Kingdom of God was within or in the hearts of these unbelieving Pharisees.</p>
<p>The Greek word entos translated to mean ‘within’ in a few versions of the Bible should be translated as ‘in the midst of’ you, or ‘among’ you, as correctly translated in the Revised Standard Version. What Jesus Christ said to these unbelieving Pharisees was that the only way to enter into the future Kingdom of God was to believe in Him, who was standing in the midst of them, and who was the very personification of the future coming Kingdom of God.</p>
<p>Daniel 2:44
And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. </p>
<p>Isaiah 11:6-8 
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra&#8217;s hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper&#8217;s den. </p>
<p>Daniel 7:18, 27  
18 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. </p>
<p>27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him. </p>
<p>Malachi 3:2-3 
2 But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner&#8217;s fire, And like launderers&#8217; soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LORD An offering in righteousness. </p>
<p>Psalm 86:9
All nations whom You have made Shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And shall glorify Your name. </p>
<p>Do we believe the Word of God? All nations will come and worship before God and they will all acknowledge Him, glorifying His name. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.</p>
<p>Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.</p>
<p>Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.</p>
<p>Colossians 1:15-20 
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities (arche) or powers (exousia). All things were created through Him and for Him. </p>
<p>17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. </p>
<p>19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. </p>
<p>These verses are constructed in such a way that they leave absolutely no room for any doubt whatsoever that the word all can only mean all without any exception. The Holy Spirit, who inspired Apostle Paul to write this scripture, repeats the word all seven times before coming to the key verse, verse 20, which says that God will reconcile all things to Himself through Jesus Christ. If you believe verse 16 that Jesus Christ created all things in heaven and on earth, all things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, then you have no option but to also believe verse 20, which says that Jesus Christ will reconcile the same all things that He created. </p>
<p>‘Thrones or dominions or principalities or powers’ as given in verse 16, definitely include Satan and his fallen angels. The truth that God will even reconcile all fallen angels exalts God’s power, wisdom, love, mercy, forgiveness and His justice to the full. God tells us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:17-21), and God will ultimately overcome all evil with good, so that the purpose of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the universal reconciliation of all things is absolutely and completely fullfilled. </p>
<p>Let us clearly see from the Bible that the expression ‘thrones or dominions or principalities or powers’, as given in verse 16 above, includes Satan and his fallen angels. </p>
<p>Ephesians 6:11-12 </p>
<p>11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities (arche), against powers (exousia), against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. </p>
<p>Please note that the Greek words arche and exousia used for principalities and powers here in Ephesians 6:12 are talking about the Satanic spiritual principalities and powers and their cunning attacks ‘the wiles of the devil’, and we are told that they do not refer to people ‘flesh and blood’. Also note that these ‘principalities and powers’ are ‘the rulers of darkness of this age’, and ‘spiritual hosts of wickedness’, who are of course, Satan (the devil) and his fallen angels (evil spirits/demons). It is very important to realise that arche and exousia are the same Greek words used in Colossians 1:16 for principalities and powers. So, it is clear that Colossians 1:15-20 most definitely includes the reconciliation of Satan and all fallen angels through the blood of the cross. </p>
<p>Let us believe the Bible that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is all powerful and all sufficient to reconcile to God, not only all fallen men but also all fallen angels. Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world, which includes the sins of all fallen angels including Satan, the devil (1 John 2:2). </p>
<p>There are four so-called &#8216;proof texts&#8217; normally used by those who believe that Satan and his fallen angels will not be reconciled to God. These are Hebrews 2:14-18, 2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6 and Revelation 20:10. </p>
<p>Lets now examine each of these texts in turn.</p>
<p>Text 1</p>
<p>Hebrews 2:14-18</p>
<p>14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. </p>
<p>16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. </p>
<p>Jesus Christ, through His work on the cross, destroyed Satan, who is the devil, who had the power of death. Not only did Jesus destroy Satan by His work on the cross, but He also destroyed death itself, which is called the last enemy (1 Corinthians 15:25-26). </p>
<p>From God’s perspective, both Satan and death no longer exist because it is only a matter of time, at the creation of the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth, that the work of the cross will be fully realised. This is when all things on earth and all things in heaven will have been reconciled to God through the blood of the cross. </p>
<p>When death, which is the last enemy, is destroyed, the only thing that can burst forth is life, which is the resurrected immortal life in Christ for all people. Similarly, when Satan is ‘destroyed’, then he will be changed back to his original created state as a holy ministering angel. Please note that Satan cannot be annihilated out of existence because Satan is a spirit, an angelic being with an immortal body, and God created all angels to live forever. </p>
<p>It is God’s nature to overcome evil with good, and ultimately God will overcome all evil with good (Romans 12:21). The false doctrine of hell teaches that God overcomes evil with even more evil, which is completely against the nature of God. </p>
<p>In this present age, it is not God’s purpose to deal with Satan and his fallen angels, and God is not ‘giving aid to’ or trying to reconcile them now. Since the time of Adam and Eve up until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, God is only calling and choosing His Elect Bride, and preparing her for a special salvation in the First Resurrection (1 Timothy 4:10). God has allowed Satan and his fallen angels, as well as the vast majority of human beings, to remain in spiritual darkness until the Lake of Fire Judgement Age.</p>
<p>Text 2</p>
<p>2 Peter 2:4</p>
<p>For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell (tartaroo) and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment. </p>
<p>In this verse, the Greek word tartaroo has been mistranslated as hell. Tartaroo is used only once in the Bible, and the context in which it appears reveals the meaning of the word as a prison of spiritual darkness. </p>
<p> Satan and his fallen angels were cast back down to earth when they first sinned by rebelling against God during the Pre-Adamic Age. They remain confined to this earth and its heaven (earth’s atmosphere) in spiritual darkness, reserved for their final judgement in the Lake of Fire. The Bible says that true believers, God&#8217;s Elect who are the Bride of Christ, will rule and reign with Jesus Christ and they will have the privilege of judging angels. </p>
<p>1 Corinthians 6:3
Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?</p>
<p>Isaiah 65:17-18 
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”</p>
<p>The vision of the New Heaven and the New Earth was given to Apostle John approximately 2000 years ago on the Island of Patmos. </p>
<p>Revelation 21:1-2 
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband</p>
<p>Revelation 21:3-6 
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &#8220;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&#8221; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &#8220;Behold, I make all things new.&#8221; And He said to me, &#8220;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&#8221; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End</p>
<p>Revelation 21:3-6 
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, &#8220;Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.&#8221; 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, &#8220;Behold, I make all things new.&#8221; And He said to me, &#8220;Write, for these words are true and faithful.&#8221; 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End&#8230;” </p>
<p>What a wonderful and glorious scripture this is. Father God Himself will come down to this cleansed and renewed planet earth and to live with men forever. There will be no more crying, nor sorrow, nor death, nor pain for the former things will have passed away. The New Heaven and the New Earth, as described in this scripture, represent the conclusion of God’s plan for all. When Father God proclaims ‘It is done!’ He will have fulfilled His grand family plan of Universal Salvation and Reconciliation of all, through the work of the cross (Colossians 1:15-20). </p>
<p>The place in Revelation 21:6 where God proclaims, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End’ should mark the end of chapter 21. This is because the remainder of the book of Revelation from the middle of Revelation 21:6 where it goes on to say, “I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death…etc.” refers back to previous ages before the reconciliation of all  things on earth and all things in heaven, and thus before the Eternal Seventh Age of the New Heaven and the New Earth where there will be no more pain, no more sorrow and no more death.  </p>
<p>Please note that there were no verses, paragraphs or chapter breaks in the ancient Hebrew and Greek Manuscripts from which the Bible versions are translated. These verses, paragraphs and chapter breaks do not form part of the original inspired writings, but were added later and sometimes placed inappropriately as in this case. Also, please note that the book of Revelation is not written to follow a strict chronological sequence of end time events. </p>
<p>We see in John&#8217;s vision in the book of Revelation that the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth immediately follows the Lake of Fire Judgement Age. Apostle Peter also understood that the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth would happen after God had first cleansed and renewed this earth with its heaven (earth’s atmosphere) by fire (2 Peter 3:11-13).</p>
<p>Apostle Paul clearly understood that the End, which is the fulfilment of God’s grand family plan for reconciliaition of all things, would happen when Jesus Christ delivers the Eternal Kingdom of the New Heaven and the New Earth to God the Father. </p>
<p>1 Corinthians 15:22-28
 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ&#8217;s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For &#8220;He has put all things under His feet.&#8221; But when He says &#8220;all things are put under Him,&#8221; it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him that God may be all in all. </p>
<p>This is a marvellous scripture that spells out the events, which will happen before the creation of the New Heaven and the New Earth. </p>
<p>There are four important points to note. </p>
<p>The first point (verses 22-23) is that all of humanity, without exception (all in Adam) will be made alive in Christ, but each person in his own order, as decided by God. God has an order for when each person will be made alive in Christ, which means to be saved and reconciled to God. </p>
<p>The second point (verse 24) is that the end, which is the fulfilment of God’s grand family plan, will happen when Jesus Christ delivers the Kingdom to God the Father. The Kingdom referred to here can only be the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth as this is when all in Adam will have been made alive (saved) in Christ.  </p>
<p>The third point (verses 24-28) is that there are two important events mentioned in these verses that will take place before Jesus Christ delivers the Eternal Kingdom of the New Heaven and the New Earth to God the Father. Firstly, Jesus Christ will put an end to ‘all rule, and all authority and power’, which are all rebellious angelic principalities and powers. Secondly, Jesus Christ will destroy the last enemy, which is death. All of Christ’s enemies will be made subject to Him. In these verses, the meaning of the word ‘subject’ is a willing subjection/obedience because the same scripture says that Christ Himself will be subject to God the Father. </p>
<p>The fourth point (verse 28) is that when all things are made subject to Jesus Christ, then Jesus Christ Himself will be subject to God the Father, who will then be all in all. Of course, Jesus Christ is always subject to God the Father. The meaning in this verse is that once Jesus Christ has reconciled all things to God the Father, then Father God Himself will descend with the Holy City down from earth&#8217;s heaven onto to the cleansed and renewed earth to live with His huge family forever, and be all in all. This is when the glorious Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth begins, and this when Father God proclaims the words, ‘It is done’ (Revelation 21:1-6).  </p>
<p>It is very important to understand that planet earth is destined to become God’s dwelling place, His throne and the headquarters of the universe. Many verses in the Bible show that God has put a special emphasis on planet earth. In the very first verse of the Bible, God singles out the creation of the earth from the rest of the universe by saying, ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth’ (Genesis 1:1). Christ instructed His followers to pray for the Kingdom of God to come and be established on earth and for God’s will to be done on earth (Matthew 6:9-10).</p>
<p>Isaiah 65:17-18 
17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create.”</p>
<p>Luke 23:34
Then Jesus said, &#8220;Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do. </p>
<p>This is an amazing prayer request from Jesus Christ to God the Father. Think about it. There is no greater sin one could commit than to murder the very Son of God, and yet, there was not even the slightest hint of any revenge or unforgiveness in Jesus’ heart towards His unbelieving murderers. We know for certain that God will grant His Son’s request. Surely, this wonderful and gracious single request from Jesus to Father God, for the forgiveness of His enemies, is ample proof in and of itself that Jesus Christ did not believe in hell. </p>
<p>Jesus Christ strongly condemned the religious hypocrisy and self-righteousness of the Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders who plotted against Him and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate to be crucified. However, Jesus never believed that these self-righteous chief priests, Pharisees and elders, who became His murderers, would end up in hell; in fact quite the opposite, Jesus clearly told them that they were all destined to enter the Kingdom of God. </p>
<p>Matthew 21:31
Which of the two did the will of his father?&#8221; They said to Him, &#8220;The first.&#8221; Jesus said to them, &#8220;Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.&#8221;</p>
<p>In this verse, Jesus directly addresses the Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders who confronted Him in the temple and questioned His authority. Let the truth of this scripture sink deep down into your heart. What is Jesus saying here? Jesus is saying that these Jewish chief priests, Pharisees and elders, who crucified Him, will enter the Kingdom of God, but not before tax collectors and harlots. Do we believe Jesus’ words? Surely, this was an opportunity for Jesus to warn these chief priests, Pharisees and elders about hell, but instead Jesus says that even they are destined to enter the Kingdom of God. Did Jesus believe in hell? Absolutely not!</p>
<p>1 Corinthians 15:20-23
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfuits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.</p>
<p>Christ is the First of the firstfruits. God’s Saints, the true Elect believers are the firstfruits with Christ (James 1:18). Therefore, the order for them to be made spiritually alive in Christ (born again) is different from all those who die as unbelievers. These Elect believers are made spiritually alive in Christ before they die. However, all people who die as unbelievers will be made spiritually alive in Christ after they die, after they are resurrected from the dead and judged in the Lake of Fire.</p>
<p>Saving faith is God’s gift and it is not of human origin. It is impossible for us to believe in and identify ourselves with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ through mere human faith because human faith is always self-righteous. Many Christians fail to understand the vital difference between God given saving faith and human self-righteous faith. The faith to believe in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is indeed the gift of the same faith that God granted to Abraham ‘when he believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness’. The gift of this same ‘Abrahamic faith’ is granted to God’s Elect who are blessed along with believing Abraham. </p>
<p>Ezekiel 37:11-14 
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel’. 13 Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.</p>
<p>Israel’s hope is not lost. As this scripture says in verses 11 and 12 above, all Israelites who are cut off (the cut off branches from the Holy Olive Tree) and who think that their hope is lost, will be resurrected. This will be at the Second Resurrection when all ‘cut off’ unbelieving Israelites will be resurrected in their immortal yet still unsaved bodies, and they will all be placed in their own land (Israel) as prophesied by Ezekiel. </p>
<p>Genesis 15:18 
On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates”.</p>
<p>As the Abrahamic Covenant was made circa 1921 B.C., this means that almost 4000 years have passed since God promised Abraham that his descendants would be a great and blessed nation, living in the land with boundaries from the river of Egypt to the River Euphrates. The important question facing us is, ‘Has God fulfilled His promise to Abraham yet?’ The answer is an absolute ‘no’. God has not fulfilled this promise yet. </p>
<p>To date, Israel has never been a great and blessed nation occupying the full extent of the land promised to Abraham. Also, all the families of the earth have not yet come into the blessing of the Seed of Abraham, who is Jesus Christ. </p>
<p>Romans 5:18 
Therefore, as through one man’s (Adam&#8217;s) offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s (Jesus&#8217;) righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. </p>
<p>Let us believe our Bibles. Our God is the Great Saviour of the world. He is absolutely not the great torturer of the vast majority of humanity in hell, as sadly and shockingly believed by most Christians, who adhere to the false heretical doctrine of hell. </p>
<p>Most certainly, our Lord Jesus Christ did not believe in or preach hell anywhere in the Bible. He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness for the salvation and reconciliation of all,</p>
<p>One last thing, Josh we have to remember that when ever something is created we can see it and feel it. If we create a car or or any other object we can see it and feel it and if God said He is going to CREATE a New Heaven a New Earth than He&#8217;s going to that, and we be able to will see it and feel it.</p>
<p>Thanks for your time.</p>
<p>Love your Brother</p>

					<description>This is not the new heaven and new earth era? Soooo we still should be making yearly sacrifices, observing all the laws and regulations under the old covenant? To say that absolutely nothing changed after the death and ressurrection of Christ is simply....stupidity. Then again, how exactly are we supposed to know what it was like living under the old heaven and old earth. Ill give you a hint, absolutely everything changed between God and man!! And to trivialize the enormity of it all by saying we still have certain things happening on this earth means it really didnt happen? Please!! Lastly, the part where you state that many have thought of/ attempted suicide? I think its very telling about just how absolutely free we are to openly admit just what the #$* religion did to people. There are millions bound to religion who will NEVER admit to have thought of ending their life, or even admit they actually have tried. Your accusation is awfully telling of just how self righteous it sounds you are by your tone. Also, Do i read Gods word? I read what is on my heart, absolutely everything God has for me is written there. I have no need to read anything. Do i enjoy it? yes of course. Do i need it to be in touch with God? No.</description>

					<description>&quot;Weak people&quot;, you know when I went into the word faith, evangelical movement that was the same comment made to me,&quot;its for weak people&quot;. People also told me the evangelical movement is a&quot; cult&quot;. 
So you see, people make these comments whenever the belief doesn't line up with their belief. 
I feel The Hour We Least Expected, does back it up with scripture. That book does not sound to me like it was written by someone who did not search out scripture. 
 Now, I do not know the author personally, but he certainly searchrd out scripture in my opinion.
The last webcast has revealed to the world, the numerous amount of people beaten down by religion. 
Are you not happy to see, the gospel of grace and peace is the power needed to make us strong? &quot; When I am weak, THEN am I strong.&quot;

					<description>So is everyone that is involved in your so called ministry, people who tried to commit suicide and those who were or are still thinking about suicidal thoughts, Seems like from the top down starting with  Mike W. and Glen K. both have tried and or though of killing themselfs, and most of your callers seem to be suicidal people or very weak to say the least. I guess they are fairly weak people and they will believe anythink you guys say. Listen Jesus did save all people at the cross and i do believe in universal salvation, But to say that GOD { YHWH ELOHIM } The FATHER of YESHUA ELOHIM  has already created the New Heaven and the New Earth, Well if that was true than i would be dwelling there right now with my Father and his SON. You guys are idiots and you can not back that statement up in the BIBLE any where period. Do any of your followers even read God's Holy Written Word, I  highly doubt it. Seems to me like you are trying to hi-jack the Bible also, you are no better than the Christains when it comes to taking and adding words to the Bible of  My Father YAHWEH'S HOLY WORD, in the Name of YESHUA PLEASE STOP IT. YESHUA is the First and ONLY Resurrected of the Dead and  Everyone else from Adam Until NOW are Still Sleeping in the Grave and waiting for the Resurrection Day. Yes even YESHUA Earthly Mother Mary is still sleeping in Sheol and has not yet seen YAHWEH'S Face, But She will see YHWH'S Face in the Resurrection Day when He comes and dwells with us in the NEW HEAVEN and the NEW  EARTH the Eternal Kingdom of my Father YAHWEH ELOHIM and His ONLY BEGOTTEN BORN SON FROM HIS OWN BOSOM, YESHUA ELOHIM. By the Authority of YAHWEH ELOHIM HOLY WORD please stop making up stories. If you yourselves don't know or understand the bible PLEASE SHUT UP. Sorry i try to say it as gentle as i could. Signed YAHWEH'S adopted son, Daniel 

See ya in the coming  Eternal Kingdom of God and of His Own Son when God Himself will dwell with us Face To Face.

The Real Hour  { You }   Least Expected! 

And nothing you say or do will ever change THAT.</description>

					<description>My understanding of the &quot;oneness&quot; that Jesus is speaking about in John 17 is more relational than us actually becoming one entity with God.   

&quot;Righteous Father! The world has not known You. However, I have known You, and these have known that You sent Me. I made Your name known to them and will make it known, so the love You have loved Me with may be in them and I may be in them.&quot; (John 17:25-26)

God desires &quot;actual experiential relationship” with us and Jesus is praying that we would be &quot;One&quot; in this loving relationship with God.

What you are teaching Mike is nothing new.  New Thought Christians have been teaching that we are &quot;one entity&quot; with God since the 19th century.  This is the path that Carlton Pearson has headed down.  I just feel that Jesus is saying something more relational, that is wht he spoke of God as our Father and God loving us and we loving Him.

Also does it mentioned anywhere in the &quot;Scripture” that all of humanity would be &quot;One&quot; with God in this One entity way?  I can only find this teaching in the New Testament (John 17).  If that is the case that it is only mentioned in the N.T., why build a whole doctrine on it?</description>

					<description>Hi Mike and Glein. If prayer has nothing to do with communion because Jesus is one with us and not out there somewhere,what role is speaking in tongues? Is it not for edifying and communion with our spirit to God's Spirit? Just asking. Just want your thoughts on this. Since I have come out of Christianity I have not used my spiritual language. I have heard you, Glen talk about wanting to go off in tongues when you get excited about the gospel.I actually would feel His Presence when I spoke in tongues. Now I am wondering if that was off now. Love to hear your heart and thoughts....Your Canuk friend Marge</description>

					<description>I heard over 4,000 sermons while involved in institutional religion. That’s a lot of verbiage, literally millions of words. In all those thousands of sermons I never heard it mentioned that the kingdom of God was present on the earth. Really! Not once! Yet, Jesus made it entirely clear that it had come. It was among us, near, at hand, within you! You know what? Once I stopped listening to the droning and incessant complaining about this wicked planet, how bad things are, I found out Jesus was right. This so-called kingdom of God lives in every being. It’s here right now. You don’t need an evacuation plan to escape a final judgment. You’re going to be okay. You don’t need to consider anyone as any more or less than you. Approach life from a perspective that the kingdom is a present reality, as He said it is and see if from deep within you something doesn’t arise that is life giving. What is that? It's our oneness with God!!!</description>

					<description>Believing that Jesus took away God's anger totally will &quot;save&quot; the soul (mind) from fear.  You know what that means Dan?  The Christian world has not been &quot;saved&quot; yet!  They are redeemed no doubt, but they still think God is angry, and the churches have been sending deadly messages to the world (and to themselves) for the past 2,000 years.  Look at the history of Christianity - it ain't pretty!  It's time to kick Christianity and the mental illness it produces to the curb.  Everyone is redeemed, but it does no good for you mentally until you believe and understand this redemption.  Coming to believe that you were redeemed by the faith of Jesus (not your faith) and that God is no longer angry leads to a powerful salvation of the soul/mind.  We encourage people to believe in the Jesus who redeemed them before they were even before, NOT the Jesus who will redeem them if you do x,y, or z (let the debates about water baptism, eternal or conditional security, the commandments and so on ensue).</description>

					<description>This Dan has something to say to the other Dan.  It's funny to me how different groups of Christians accuse each other of preaching &quot;counterfit Christianity.&quot;  You quote two verses from 2 Timothy 4, but I don't think you understand what Scripture is.  Jesus said he would fulfill all Scriptures (The Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets).  He never said the coming New Testament writings would be on par with the Scriptures.  Read Isaiah 40-55 to see what God would do for the world through His Messiah (your favorite phrase, &quot;who has believed our report&quot; appears there).  The parts of the New Testament that agree with God's redemption of the world are the parts of the New Testament that we would call scriptural, but not scriptures in and of themselves.  Why does Mike teach what he teaches if all are redeemed? Simple really - the Christian religion and the rest of the world didn't get the memo that Christ has redeemed all by His work on the cross and that God is no longer angry.  Up until a few months ago, I believed the same garbage you just spewed in your two comments, and you know what?  It never worked and it never brought me peace - it only brought fear and mental illness.  Same thing for Mike and many of us here.  I recommend you go hear Mike's story so you get the full picture.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Dan has something to say to the other Dan.  It&#8217;s funny to me how different groups of Christians accuse each other of preaching &#8220;counterfit Christianity.&#8221;  You quote two verses from 2 Timothy 4, but I don&#8217;t think you understand what Scripture is.  Jesus said he would fulfill all Scriptures (The Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets).  He never said the coming New Testament writings would be on par with the Scriptures.  Read Isaiah 40-55 to see what God would do for the world through His Messiah (your favorite phrase, &#8220;who has believed our report&#8221; appears there).  The parts of the New Testament that agree with God&#8217;s redemption of the world are the parts of the New Testament that we would call scriptural, but not scriptures in and of themselves.  Why does Mike teach what he teaches if all are redeemed? Simple really - the Christian religion and the rest of the world didn&#8217;t get the memo that Christ has redeemed all by His work on the cross and that God is no longer angry.

					<description>After reading &quot;Dan's&quot; comments I pose three questions. . . Did the &quot;chosen people&quot;, including the religious leadership of Jesus' day understand His mission? Is it possible for this blindness to occur today? Is it possible that the grace of God is far greater than all we can even think or imagine?</description>

					<description>So i was thinking, if no one has to believe in Jesus to be saved, because at the Cross according to you guys every one ever born has eternal life in Heaven, whether they believe or believe not.

 Than why do we need Mike Milliams ministries or any one else telling the humans about Jesus Work on the Cross. And why have the Bible at all, it would be useless would it not ? It would not matter would it ?
So i guess there is no eternal Hell either because God would not needs such a place if every human ever born are Saved. Why would you need a eternal place of punish? 
 Jesus said if you believe in the Son you believe also on Him that sent Me. Glory be unto God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. AMEN.
 
Kinda makes me chuckle a little to myself when i thinks of multitudes that have come to believe Gods Report old and new covenant and it was accounted to them for righteousness because they believed. And how much they love and worship God and His Son and how the blood of Christ brings us near to God and you can't get any closer than that. Hard to believe the person that confesses Jesus as Lord and is bananas for Jesus and loves God so much,  and the one who confesses not that Jesus is the Son of God and is a anti christ are going to be together in eternity.  [ If you believe not in Jesus you believe not in the Father that sent Him.] Hard to believe their both saved because Jesus said your either for Me or against Me.
 
Listen.
 
The devil is not fighting religion. He's to smart for that.
 
 But he is producing a [ countefeit Christianity ], so much like the REAL ONE that Believers are afraid to speak out against it. But i'm not.
 
We are plainly told in the Scriptures in 2 Tim 4:3  that in the last days, men will not endure sound doctrine and some departing  from the faith and heap to themselves teachers to tickle their ears.
We live in an epidemic of this itch and popular preachers have developed &quot;Ear - Tickling&quot; into a fine art.
 
God is in full control of the Bible, and he has and  will preserve his Holy Word forever and forever, and not your ministry or anyone else, not even Lucifer can destroy it.
 
Heres some more wisdom for you Sir. And all it takes is a little reading and help from the Holy Spirit.
 
 
2 Tim 4:1  Please read the whole Chapter, i will just be making some notes.    who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom, notice how Paul said { shall judge }, and not has judged.[ shall judge Future tense].
 
2 Tim 4:8  Shall give me at that day and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his APPEARING.

One more thing, If  Evil men unbelivers like Hitler and Sudan to name a few, whether they believe or believe not according to you have eternal life and it doesn't matter how evil they are and them believing [ not ] in the Son of God.

Than God the Father could have nail Jesus to the cross in secret HIMSELF for the SIN of the World and every one would be saved and God  wouldn't of had to make a public display of the torture His Only Begotten SON went through on the CROSS.
It wouldn't matter, we don't even have to have the knowlegde of that Sacriface which was sufficient for sin, THE DEATH, BURIAL, and the RESSURRECTION of my precious LORD and SAVIOR.
GOD sure doesn't need you over 2000 years later telling us this garbage you are now preaching. You think because two brother write a book based on your false teachings that i am going to believe this crap, they are confussed also.

The Gospel according to Mike, how self righteous are you and how dare you say or write such a thing. 

You and your followers are so weak that i feel sorry you and i pity you.

Why do we need Preachers or you guys, whether they are telling the TRUTH or deceiving the People. IT WOULD NOT MATTER AND I WOULD NOT NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING THAT WAS DONE FOR ME AT THE CROSS, KNOWLEDGE WOULD BE USELESS THAN.

BUT,
THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT I AM GOD AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME!!!!!!!

PS. By the way God could have stopped the FALL in the GARDEN if He wanted TOO. And HE wouldn't have had to do that to HIS SON, if we would not have to believe GODS REPORT. Why bother

His Son is KING OF KINGS and THE LORD OF LORDS and the next time we see HIM, HE will be COMING with GREAT POWER and ALL AUTHORITY

Look forward to hearing from you. Your Brother in the Lord. Daniel</description>
