① Adam was deprived of his birthright.
Gen.1:27 God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
Gen.1:28 God blessed them. God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
† The word that God created Adam in the image of the Son means that by giving Adam the birthright, the proxy authority, God made Adam conquer and rule the creatures that are not in the image of the Son, that is, all the creatures of Hades including Satan fraudswarms, by the commandments of love.
Gen.2:15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Gen.2:19 Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
† Adam, who received the birthright (actual Owner and Heir is the Son, so the birthright here is the management proxy), rules over animals and birds. The birthright is necessarily linked to the Word of God.[1] Giving the birthright means that God has given Adam the authority to exercise the Father's will on the Father's possessions with the same heart as the Father. Since the Father creates the creation world with His Word[2] and holds it with His Word[3], the firstborn is the one who receives the Word and fulfills the Father's will in the creation world. In other words, the firstborns are the ones who fulfill the commandments, the reign of love, in creation world.
Luke4:6 The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.
† Adam became a slave to sin[4], by throwing away the Word and eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and was deprived of his birthright. (There may be an opinion that Adam have been deprived of the proxy authority entrusted to him by 'sin' not by Satan. If so, Satan would not have the right to rule over all nations from the beginning. It is the view that 'sin' rules, not Satan.) Hence, the world fell into the influence of Satan. In the world, the reign of love according to the commandments ended, and the world fell into the law of the jungle that the strong eats the weak.
Luke4:7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."
† The birthright, the management proxy, had been entrusted to Adam, is officially extinguished when the Son, who is the rightful Owner and Heir, comes.[5] (Because God the Son emptied himself to become a creature[6], there may be an opinion that He is an Heir but not the Owner from the beginning inside the creation world. The Son is officially seated on the throne[7] after taking the cross[8], so there may be a view like that.[9] But the Son is God the Creator. Time is also just a creature made by the Son.[10] Even if the Son emptied himself, it does not change the fact that the Son made us and that the Son still keeps us alive.[11] Creatures must offer[12] the worship and love worthy to be offered to the Creator.[13]) Even Satan, who has used Adam as his slave to rule the land illegally[14], must acknowledge the Son's reign when the Son comes and worship Him accordingly. The steward must manage the owner's possessions according to the master's will, and if the master himself comes, he must obey the master's will. But even with the Master's coming, Satan, with the management proxy stolen from Adam, is babbling about the Son's possessions as if it were his own. (It may be argued that the management proxy entrusted to Adam, was taken not by Satan, but by sin. If so, Satan is spitting out a lie about the management proxy he doesn't even have.) Since the Son is a legitimate Heir, all creatures, including Hades, belongs to the Son, and all creatures ought to obey the Son.[15] As a human being, the Son made Satan a slave by overcoming Satan with the Word, conquering and reigning over sin. The Son also brought back the management proxy of the birthright that Adam had been deprived by Satan (as another claim, by sin). Therefore, even if the Son judges Satan, the slave of sin, Adam, who enters into the Son and escapes from the slave of sin[16], is not judged with Satan.[17] Adam, reborn in the Son[18], is given new management proxy by the Son.[19] In the realm of the firstborns who are perfected in the images of God[20], Satan fraudswarms are cast out and God's reign is established. This is accomplished only through God the Holy Spirit, who came in the name of the Son.[21]
† Satan became the one who deceives humans, by means of their body which produce sinful nature, to make them turn away from the Word and become slaves to sin. Satan cannot escape from this fate. Because he himself chose it. God did not force Satan to become a deceiver who eats dust and deceives Adam to sin. Had Satan chosen not to deceive Adam, his punishment would surely have been lighter. However, even after being confined in Hades, Satan did not stop opposing the Creator, and attempted to deceive Adam to break down the commandments the Creator had set in His creation world.
† Perhaps we can also consider the possibility of the fact that Satan is no longer able to repent was finally proven at this time. Because if it had already been proven before Satan deceived Adam that Satan would not repent, it is possible that God had cursed Satan before Satan deceived Adam. Seeing that God did not forgive Satan before He confined Satan in Hades[22], I think it is more reasonable to view that from some point after Satan deceived the angels and made them corrupt, Satan might have become the one who is unable to repent. It means that after his free will has already been confirmed to oppose God, God has confined Satan in Hades. God must have given Helel the opportunity to turn back when he initially opposed God. Or I believe that God would have placed Helel in powerful light that does not even need an opportunity to repent, that is, the circumstance in which it is impossible to sin without knowingly choosing it. Nevertheless, Helel committed a crime and determined his free will to oppose God until the end.
1John5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
③ God put enmity between the serpent and the woman.
Gen.3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."
† The Woman is the church that overcomes the forces of sin and death. The woman's Seed is the Son. The Son was conceived through God the Holy Spirit, not a man.
Rev.12:5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
† The Son will judge Satan fraudswarms as if He dashes them to pieces like pottery with an iron scepter.
④ God cursed the ground which is the raw material of Adam.
† The earthen body came to produce the sinful desire. Adam became the one who is forced to fight his sinful desire, the desire of his flesh.
Gen.3:14 Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every animal of the field. On your belly shall you go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
† What does it mean to have Satan eat the earth, the flesh? We can think of it in several ways. ①First, it can mean that Satan has taken control of the earth and has received the authority to cause thorns and thistles to rise from the earthen body. Selfishness to trample on neighbors for one's own sake rises in the earth controlled by Satan, and the realm where such selfish bodies are gathered is also oppressed by the law of the jungle. If so, is Satan taking control of the body and causing the desire of sin to rise from the body? Or are thorns and thistles only curses which are as a result of sin, and Satan merely deceives Adam using the lusts of sin which are arise from the flesh? Anyway, the result of sin is death[23], and Satan holds the power of death.[24] Whether Satan directs the desires of sin to rise, or Satan merely deceives humans using thorns and thistles which are arising from the flesh, since humans can never overcome Satan without the help of God the Holy Spirit of truth, humans cannot but sin for themselves. Although thorns and thistles in themselves are not sins, it is impossible for humans, who are clothed with thorns and thistles, to overcome sin because humans themselves cannot overcome thorns and thistles. Of course, even without clothing thorns and thistles, all creatures can overcome sin only by the grace of God. But, because thorns and thistles in other words mean intense hunger for sin, in order to overcome sin despite clothed with thorns and thistles, we must really come to God urgently.
† There is no crime for a thousand years that Satan has been imprisoned in the abyss, because there is no deceit from Satan and no lust for sin in the dust. Only the saints raised by the first resurrection can wear the resurrection body. The people outside New Jerusalem are not eligible to wear the resurrected body, so they cannot wear it. Also, because the curse of the earth is over, thorns and thistles will not rise from the earthen body. About the Words that thorns and thistles cease to rise from the earth, whether it means that the earth is out of Satan's control, or simply that the earth's curse is over regardless of Satan, anyway the people will be wearing bodies without thorns and thistles. I think the body the people will wear is probably the same as the body before Adam sinned.
† ②Since the absence of the commandments leads to domination by force, the Word that God made Satan eat dust may also mean that Satan took control of the earth and caused the earth to be oppressed by lawlessness. Satan made Adam a slave to sin[25] and took away the temporary proxy that God had entrusted to Adam.[26] That's why the land that should have been ruled by the commandments of love under Adam[27] is full of lawlessness.[28] Not only humans came to be under the suppression of the law of the jungle, but also animals made of earth came to be under the suppression of the law of the jungle that the strong eats the weak. (There may be claims that predators became carnivores after Noah's Flood.[29] However, in order to argue that carnivorous animalization was not a result of the curse of the earth, but a change that occurred suddenly after the flood, it would be necessary to be able to explain the phenomenon[30] that the lions eat grass again[31] when the curse of the earth is over.[32] Originally, all beasts ate grass, so predators would have also ate grass. But when the curse of the ground is over, the beasts eat the grass again. It may be because of the curse of the earth that the beasts eat meat. And the curse of the earth is the result of Adam's crime, not of Noah's Flood.[33] Regardless of the time when the beasts began to eat meat, after the earth was cursed, human society became full of violence.[34])
† ③There may be a view that the Word of letting Satan eat dust means that Satan has been given authority which can cause earthen body to age and eventually return it to dust. After the curse, the earthen body's aging and returning to dust, became an inevitable result.[35] There may be views that Satan is in control of aging, while others may view that aging is only the result of the curse of the earth. Since God is in control of life[36], it certainly does not mean that Satan is in control of life. If Satan is in charge of aging, then Satan will not age his loyal slaves, but it seems that Satan is not in charge of aging given that no one cannot avoid dying. Therefore, I believe that the Word that God made Satan eat dust, does not mean that God gave Satan the authority to age human flesh. Man is destined to die once and return to dust.[37] In the 1000-year kingdom after the imprisonment of Satan, even the people and beasts outside the New Jerusalem city will not return to dust[38], not because there is no Satan who makes dust age, but because the curse of the earth has ended.
Phil.3:19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
John8:44 You are of your Father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.
† After the serpent was cursed, it came to crawl on the ground, came to live with greed, and came to eat humans who turned away from the Word and turned into dust. In other words, he became a human killer who deceives human and lead them away from God. It is a sin to deceive man into sin. It is a sin to cut creatures from the life of God. Of course, Adam sinned, but if Satan had not deceived, Adam would not have sinned. Because God respects free will, He does not prevent the deception which performed within the limits set forth[39], but judges the lawlessness through a fair process. The serpent has deceived humans by committing lawlessness and has tried to avoid God's judgment by proving that his lies were correct through using humans.[40] But the serpent should not have deceived Adam, but should have acknowledged the reign of the commandments that God would establish in Hades through Adam, and should not have committed any further crimes. The serpent succeeded in corrupting the first Adam and making him a slave, but because of such crimes he opened the way for the LORD Jesus, the Last Adam, to come, and was judged by the LORD Jesus.[41] For the sin that caused Adam to die, the serpent was cursed by God so that it was destined to deceive the earthly humans by crawling the ground through his entire life, until he will be punished thoroughly. As a result of that, it became possible to distinguish between those who obey God from those who reject God among the humans whom God gave free will, and humans came to choose between God and Satan, whether they want or not. The result of the free will that God has given came to be clearly revealed.
Gen.3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
Gen.3:18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
Gen.3:19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
† Adam, the dust, came to return to dust and die. Adam's life span was already determined and known by God.[42] It is God who takes back the soul that God gave to Adam.[43] Only when Adam plows his heart with the word until his death and fight against thorns and thistles rise from his flesh[44], he can become a man of submission to the coming Son and can eat the fruit of faith.[45]
Gen.3:23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
† To cultivate the earth to produce fruit is to cultivate the heart. Adam must cultivate his heart to remove thorns and thistles that come out of his earthen body with the Word, so that he can produce the fruit that God receives.[46]
Heb.6:7 For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;
Heb.6:8 but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
Matt.13:23 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most assuredly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times, some sixty, some thirty."
† Humans are made of dust. God breathed into Adam the breath of life. But Adam sinned. So Adam died and became doomed to return to the dust. The dust is the earth. The earth is the body. Fruit comes out of the earth. Because Adam sinned, he fell under the influence of sin. Adam cannot overcome the desires of the flesh, so he cannot live according to God's law. As the breath of life was gone, Adam became more and more unable to obey God's law on his own. From Adam's flesh, thorns and thistles came to come out that prevent him from living according to God's law. The desire of sin rose from Adam's flesh, and Adam became very difficult to obey God's law. Adam became able to pretend to obey the law only by sweating and trying. Adam is corrupted so that he can live according to God's will only when he receives the rain of heaven, God's Word, God's life again.
Gal.5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire.
Gal.5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
Gal.5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
Gal.5:21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Gal.5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal.5:23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
† If we obey the desires of the flesh and live as the flesh desires, we will produce thorns and thistles, which are the deeds of the flesh, and we will perish. If we obey the desires of God the Holy Spirit and obey the will of God the Holy Spirit, we will remain in the law of God and produce the fruits that God pleases, and we will live.
Matt.15:18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.
Matt.15:19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.
Matt.15:20 These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands doesn't defile the man."
Gen.4:7 If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you don't do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it."
† Since the desires of sin continue to rise from our hearts, we cannot do good unless we cleanse our hearts through God the Holy Spirit to control our sins.
Rom.7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.
Rom.7:19 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.
Rom.7:20 But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Rom.7:21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
† Because the desire of sin constantly rises from the earthen flesh, our flesh has become a great hindrance to us in keeping God's law.
⑤ Human has fallen under the influence of sin.
James1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
James1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
† Humans have been forced to struggle with sin because of greed that arises from the body which is the cursed dust, on the inside. Also, on the outside, humans have been forced to struggle with sin because of Satan fraudswarms's attack that deceives by using greed coming up from the dust. Humans have come to realize thoroughly that they cannot overcome sin without surrendering to God the Holy Spirit. (Even if Adam did not sin, Adam can overcome sin only with God's help. A creature granted free will, be it an angel or a human being, must sin without the life of the Father given only through the Son. In the creation world as it is now, if a creature can keep the commandments on its own, it means that the creature can become a creature that lives forever on its own. But that can't happen.)
⑥ God drove Adam out of Eden so that he could not eat the fruit of life.
Gen.3:23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Gen.3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
† God said that there should be light in the darkness[47] that confined Satan.[48] That is Eden. Those who have the light of knowing the glory of God in the face of Christ come into Eden from the world of darkness.[49] God has shone the most holy place, where God's name is placed, in darkness. God lit Eden in the dark and put the Word there.[50] Because of the sin of breaking the Word of God, Adam could not keep the light and became a slave of Satan and was cast out to darkness.[51] God guarded Eden with cherubim and with a flaming sword, so that Adam could not eat the fruit of life. In order for Adam to enter Eden again and eat the fruit of life, Adam must first pass through the cherubim and the flaming sword.
† The time will come when the creatures will fall before the throne. It is the Judgment. Judgment will be made by righteous and justice, the foundation of the throne, the ark of the testimony, the commandments.[52] God rules the creation world by the commandments. The commandments will be the basis for judgment. Sin is lawlessness, that is, breaking the commandments.[53] Those who have done iniquity will be judged.[54] The creatures who obey God's rule by keeping the commandments with their own will and those who do not obey God's rule by breaking the commandments with their own will will be divided. All creatures who have been granted free will will receive the result of the choice they have chosen at their own will, as each one has been told from the beginning.[55] When God judges the creatures who break the commandments and reject God's rule, the creatures who keep the commandments will be saved from judgment. For the creatures who keep the commandments, the commandments will be the fruit of the tree of life that leads to eternal life.[56] But to creatures who violate the commandments, the commandments will be a consuming fire.[57]
† The commandments, that is the basis of God's judgment, is love.[58] If God does not judge the creatures that violate the commandments, they will die and kill each other. And weak creatures will be trampled upon by strong creatures. Therefore, the commandments are an expression of God's love.
† If Adam attempts to enter the most holy place, Eden where the throne is located, to eat the fruit of life without being forgiven for the sins of eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Adam will die. When a sinner sees God, he dies.[59] When a sinner enters the Holy of Holies, he dies.[60] If a sinner has sin in his heart and tries to approach the throne, he dies. (Judgment takes place before the throne.[61] The commandments are the basis of Judgment. Any creature whos break the commandments is judged.) God imprisoned a host of angels who rebelled against God so that they could not come into the place of God's light.[62] Since God's justice could not allow the existence of sinners who ruin the creation world, God decided that He would judge criminals and make them pay the penalty for their sins. In order for a sinner to escape judgment, he/she must first judge the sin in himself/herself and be separated from it. Before judging the sinner, the LORD Jesus first came into creation world as a light.[63] To those who judge themselves for their sins revealed through the light of the LORD Jesus, the LORD Jesus decided not to throw them into the lake of fire.[64] When the LORD Jesus returns as Judge, those who forsake their sins and are separated from Satan will not be judged with Satan.
† If Adam eats the fruit of life, he will live forever without dying. In other words, if Adam becomes a creaure who keeps the commandments, he will be able to eat the fruit of life.[65] Therefore, if Adam was able to keep the commandments, he would live forever without dying.[66] However, in order for Adam to become a creature who keeps the commandments and eat the fruit of the tree of life, he must first know that he is a creature who breaks the commandments and eats the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. To be precise, in order for Adam to eat the fruit of life, he must first know that he is a creature who violates the Word of God and eats the fruit of good and evil, so that he can live only by eating the fruit of life, and that if he does not eat the fruit of life, he has no choice but to die. The fruit of good and evil exists to make Adam want to eat the fruit of life. Without the fruit of good and evil, Adam would not have known that he was breaking the commandments and eating the fruit of good and evil, and Adam would not have known that his heart had a sin against God, and Adam would not have realized that he must eat the fruit of life in order to live.
† If Adam had not known that he was an imperfect being who had no choice but to eat the fruit of good and evil, Adam would not have felt the necessity of the fruit of llife. The fruit of good and evil brings death. No, the dead eat the fruit of good and evil. The fruit of good and evil is a sign that tells us that we are dead away from the life of God. Only those who see their heart revealed by the act of eating the fruit of good and evil and realize that they are dead know the necessity of the fruit of life. Adam was already dead from the time he loved Eve more than God. The fruit of good and evil merely revealed it and made it known. Therefore, the fruit of good and evil is a means of condemning those who violate the law and is a reflector of the commandments that reveals the heart of Adam, who is guilty of being judged. The commandments are mirrors and convic of sin.[67] When the commandments were given to Adam, Adam's heart was revealed in the image of a beast that eats the fruit of good and evil. Through the fruit of good and evil, Adam came to convint of his sins.[68]
† The commandment is the law.[69] Through the Son, the will and intentions of the law were fully revealed, but through Moses, the intentions of the law had been partially revealed.[70] The Son clearly revealed the original meaning of the law through the Sermon on the Mount and the teaching of the last supper.[71] When Adam does not love God, Adam cannot keep the commandments. When Adam does not keep the commandments, the commandments become the basis for judgment to Adam.[72] Those commandments that Adam failed to keep become a law of death and appear to Adam as the fruit of good and evil.[73] When Adam loves God and keeps the commandments, the commandments become the basis for Adam's life.[74] When Adam keeps the commandments, those commandments become a law of life that gives Adam life and appear to Adam as the fruit of life.[75] That Adam eats the fruit of good and evil means that the commandments still remain with Adam as the law of death. It means that Adam does not love God yet.
† But Adam cannot eat the fruit of life from the beginning.[76] Not only Adam but also any creature who has been granted free will cannot eat the fruit of life by himself without knowing the love of God.[77] In other words, creatures cannot live forever on their own.[78] The commandments are what creatures can keep. However, this can be done only when the creatures know the love of God.[79] Therefore, God will let the creatures who want to love God know God's love, and because those creatures know God's love, He will make them love God and keep the commandments. And God will leave only those creatures who love God and keep the commandments in the creation world. God will remove sin from the creation world and bring eternal rest to the creation world.[80]
† God does not infringe upon the free will given to His creatures. It is not clear why God gives creatures free will to make choices and to receive the results of their choices.[81] Perhaps it is because God loves His creation. Free will is a concept that can only be understood in love. Had God not decided to love His creatures and created them, He would have made a tool that would have no choice but to fulfill His command, and He would never have to forsake His Son in order to perfect the free will given to His creatures. In the creation world in which God has granted free will to the creatures, God knows in advance the creatures who will worship and obey God. God has pity on them and puts them in His mercy.[82] God knows in advance the creatures who will stand against God. God leaves them in their stubbornness[83] and endures their evil deeds for a long time.[84] But God will eventually destroy them.[85] And God will use all these free choices of creatures to accomplish His will to complete His creation.
† Of course, there may be a transitional period before the creatures are sure to realize the love of God. Because God will reveal His love on the cross.[86] Therefore, until the free will of the creatures is completed and the creatures can never sin, God will give them grace so that they can choose to obey God, within the bounds of not violating the free will given to each creature. In this grace, Helel could have chosen not to sin enough. I don't know in what form this grace would have been given to angels without the limitations of the earthen body,[87] but when I see that the fallen angels have become those who would never repent after their sin[88], this grace, which would have been bestowed upon each of the angels before they sinned, would have been given in ample opportunity for each of the angels to choose their own destiny with their free will. I guess so. Even before the Son came into the creation world, they would have been in the sure light of choosing to obey God. They will never repent because they have chosen with so certain will in the light so sure.[89] They made up their minds and committed sins on purpose.[90] God, who respects the free will He has given His creatures, will not force their will. To Adam, created in the darkness and confined within the limits of the earthen flesh, this grace was given through the promise of sending the Son and through the law foreshadowing the Son.[91] Those who obey the Son, whether through model or reality, those who were obedient to the Son to come or who are obedient to the Son who has already come, will be raised by the resurrection of life to live forever.[92]
† When God shed the light of the commandments on Adam, Adam could reflect it in two ways. One is the fruit of good and evil, and the other is the fruit of life. When we call the heart of Satan the image of the beast[93] and the heart of man the image of God[94], the fruit of good and evil represents the heart of the beast and the fruit of life represents the heart of man. If Adam chose to have the beast's heart, then Adam's heart would appear as an act of eating the fruit of good and evil, and Adam would be proved in the image of Satan. If Adam chose to have the heart of man, then Adam's heart would appear as an act of eating the fruit of life, and Adam would be proved in the image of God. (When thinking that those who could eat the fruit of life have been perfected their free will and will never sin again[95], of course, Adam could not have eaten the fruit of life at this time because there is no creature that can eat the fruit of life without knowing the love of God expressed on the cross. Since God already knew that Adam would eat the fruit of good and evil, He must have determined to complete creation through the process of saving Adam and began to create the creation world. I am just explaining the basic principles of creation. If Adam had rejected the fruit of good and evil, Adam would have realized God's love more peacefully than now and could have been perfected as a creature that would never sin.)
† Those who want to live among those who finally come to realize that they are dead through their actions of eating the fruit of good and evil, begin to find the fruit of life. The tree of life is the Son, and the fruit of life is the way of the cross that the Son went. The Father gives life to His creatures only through His Son[96], and the Son showed His creatures how to receive His Father's life by obeying His Father until His death on the cross.[97] The creature who came to realize himself dead through his actions of eating the fruit of good and evil[98], learns that the life that makes him alive comes only from the Creator who made him. The creature who wants to receive the life of the Creator who made him, realizes through the cross, what the Creator has paid to give him life. Knowing the love of the cross leads to the life that the Father poured out of Himself to creatures, the Son.[99] The creature who knows what the price God paid to bring him to life[100], that is, the creature who has come to know God's love[101], follows the path of the cross that the Son walked and willingly submits to the reign of the Son's love and justice. The creature eventually gets the true life that is only in His Son.[102] He comes to eat the fruit of life.[103] Therefore, we cannot see the fruit of life until we come to know that we are dead eating the fruit of good and evil.[104] We cannot see the love of God who carried the cross to forgive us until we come to know that we are sinners. The fruit of good and evil is a schoolmaster who leads us to the fruit of life. The fruit of good and evil is the law and the mirror that condemns us. He who comes to realize that he is a dead being who has no choice but to eat the fruit of good and evil go to the Son who is the tree of life through God the Holy Spirit. And he learns the love of God who loved him.[105] Only then is he dead to sin, alive to the Son[106], and subject to the reign of the Son's love and justice. This is the rebirth[107] and baptism.[108]
† God drove Adam out of Eden so that he could not eat the fruit of life. This is to help Adam realize that he is an imperfect being who has no choice but to eat the fruit of good and evil that God forbidden. In other words, God expelled Adam in order to let him know that his free will is imperfect, and to let him realize that he is inevitable to sin without God and be cut off from God's life and die. The fruit of life can only be eaten by those who have completed their free will. Free will is completed only through the love of God, that is, through the cross.[109] Those who do not know the love of the cross cannot eat the fruit of life. Those who have not completed their free will have no choice but to eat the fruit of good and evil. The fruit of good and evil is a mirror that reflects the fact that my free will has not been completed, so I have the possibility to commit sin at any time[110], and if left as it is, I will one day have no choice but to sin and die.[111] If Adam had overcome the temptation of the fruit of good and evil, like the angels who overcame Helel's temptation[112], Adam's free will could have been perfected less painfully[113] than it is now.[114] Or, God who knows everything, may have created the victorious adam to be born in the next generation and made another person to be defeated the 1st adam in order to proceed with creation in the same way as now.
† The fruit of good and evil or the fruit of life itself does not have the power to cause creatures to be cut off from God or to remain in God's life so that they can live forever. Fruit has no such power. If God had given such power to fruit itself, so if a creature eats fruit and is cut off from God and gets life of God by eating fruit, regardless of communion with God or obedience to God, then what is the use of the commandments? What is the meaning of fellowship with God? Wouldn't it be enough to just set the law of the creation world by simply eating or not eating fruits? Fruits are merely tools to show us the commandments that God forbids or permits. Fruits are merely educational materials that God uses to teach creatures that they will die if they break the laws God forbids and live if they obey the laws God permits to bring them into the life of God through the commandments of love.
† Therefore, the reason that the fruit of good and evil is real to Adam is not because of the power of the fruit itself, but because of God's commandment not to eat the fruit. The reason God drove Adam out of the Garden of Eden so that Adam could not eat the fruit of life was not really to prevent Adam from being able to live forever. (Fruits cannot actually give eternal life. What is the use of fruit to Adam who has already broken God's commandments and was cut off from God's life? Fruits are just educational materials that was put in place to show that creatures will have life if they keep the commandments.) God drove Adam out of Eden to give Adam eternal life by bringing Adam to the Son, the true life, who is the commandment itself which God intended to truly reveal through the tree of life. (The Son is the commandments of the creatures.[115])
† It is impossible for Satan or Adam who sinned to escape judgment. ①God already knew that this would happen to His creation world. God started His creation knowing what process it would go through and what the result would be. All things already flow according to God's will. ②Also, it is God the Creator who confined Satan in darkness. God still keeps Satan or Adam alive and maintains their lives and existence.[116] When God takes His life from creatures, whether it is Satan or Adam, any creature dies and perishes immediately.[117] It is God the Creator who keeps Satan or Adam alive until judgment. God is Almighty. Therefore, saying that God drove Adam out of Eden to prevent Adam from eating the fruit of life does not mean that if Adam had remained in Eden, there would have been a possibility for Adam to eat the fruit of life. This is the word that expresses the principle of God's justice that a sinner who breaks the commandments is cast out of Eden and never gets life.
† The reason why God expelled Adam from Eden from eating the fruit of life is not because even if he is a sinner who previously ate the fruit of good and evil, if he later eats the fruit of life, he will actually avoid judgment and live forever. The reason God expelled Adam was to let the creatures know that sinners who died after breaking God's commandments, eating the fruit of good and evil, and being cut off from God's life, could never get eternal life that is given only to those who keeps the commandments in God. A sinner who became his own master and ate the fruit of good and evil cannot take the cross. Only those who admit that God is their master can take the cross.[118] In other words, only those who take their cross can eat the fruit of life, and those who do not take their cross cannot eat the fruit of life. In short, the moment he eats the fruit of good and evil, he is thrown out of Eden.[119] Although the external environment and condition seem to be insignificant, the place where he actually exists is changed from within Eden to outside Eden. Those who become their own masters and live by eating the fruit of good and evil can never eat the fruit of life even if the fruit of life, which is the cross, is next to them. (He does not even realize that he is a sinner who lives by eating the fruit of good and evil.)[120] God drove Adam out of Eden means that those who eat the fruit of good and evil and are cut off from God's life and must be judged cannot escape judgment. It means that God prevents them from eating the fruit of life that only those who will have eternal life can eat.[121]
† Those who break the commandments eat the fruit of good and evil, and those who keep the commandments eat the fruit of life. Those who break the commandments cannot become those who keep the commandments until they realize the love of the cross and repent. Therefore, those who violate the commandments and eat the fruit of good and evil cannot naturally become those who keep the commandments in their state, nor can they eat the fruit of life. It means that God expelled Adam, who ate the fruit of good and evil, out of Eden so that Adam could not eat the fruit of life, by making Adam aware of the cost of transgressing the commandments and realizing that God sacrificed all of Himself to forgive him.[122] It was only to make Adam the one who keeps the commandments.[123] If God let Adam know God's love so that Adam finally obeys the commandments, Adam's free will is perfected and Adam can eat the fruit of life.[124]
† Those who break the commandments must be judged and die. However, if God makes Adam, who does not know the love of the cross and does not repent, abruptly keep the commandments regardless of Adam's will and God makes him avoid judgment, God's justice will be broken and Satan fraudswarms who broke the commandments will be freed from the judgment by the commandments. Then there will be no righteous reason for God to imprison Satan. Satan will stir up all creation world, spreading his crimes to other creatures, and the whole creation world, even the heaven of angels, will be truly hell, killing and trampling each other. Adam and Satan must be judged and die according to God's Word that those who have sinned will surely die.[125] And God will give His Son to Adam who must die so that Adam, who received the Son, will repent and return to God. God will send His Son to Satan who must die to reveal that Satan is a sinner who does not accept the Son and even kills Him[126], and will judge Satan by proving to the creation world that Satan deserves to die.[127] The Father will send His Son to the creation world to prove God's love through His Son. And God will perfect the free will of all creatures who accept the Son, and will complete them with those who will never sin again.[128] After that, God will judge all creatures who reject the Son, removing sin itself from the creation world and leaving only love.[129] God will leave only things that belong to God in the creation world.[130]
† Adam became a slave to sin and the desire of sin came up from his flesh[131]. If Adam lives a life that breaks the commandments and yet lives a life of protection without pain in Eden, Adam will not even think of repentance. Adam will reject the Son and become the one who does not keep the commandments until the end and will eventually be judged and die. Eden's protection would rather prevent Adam from eating the fruit of life. This is the reason why God gave Adam suffering.[132] Therefore, the reason why God expelled Adam from Eden and blocked the way of the tree of life with cherubim and a flaming sword was to make Adam repent of his sins and spit out the fruit of good and evil so that Adam can eat the fruit of life and gain eternal life. If Adam does not even know if he needs the fruit of life, Adam cannot eat the fruit of life. God expelled Adam from Eden to show Adam how he is now[133] and how he must go through in order to eat the fruit of life.[134]
† It was revealed more clearly in the Most Holy of the Tabernacle. Just as there is the curtain on the east side of the Holy of Holies[135], the Flaming Sword sitting on the throne between the cherubim of the Holy of Holies, like the curtain, is guarding the path to the tree of life, the path to the commandments. The Flaming[136] Sword[137] symbolizes God who is the Word[138] and the mercy seat symbolizes the throne[139] on which God put His name.[140] Just as a sinner is blocked by the curtain and cannot enter the most holy place where the commandments are located, so a sinner is blocked by the justice of God on the throne and cannot enter the life of God in the commandments. This curtain was opened through the Son.[141] Only those who follow the Son along the path of the cross the Son took can pass through these cherubim and the flaming sword like the Son and enter the commandments, that is, eternal life.[142] Like the Son, whose curtain of flesh was torn on the cross[143], I can enter eternal life when the curtain of my flesh[144] is torn[145] through God the Holy Spirit.[146]
† Those who set their own standards of good and evil for themselves, eat the fruit of good and evil. The reason God placed the fruit of good and evil in Eden was to help Adam know that he was a sinner who set the standards of good and evil on his own. The moment Adam ate the fruit of good and evil, the good for Adam was to eat the fruit of good and evil, and the evil was not to eat the fruit of good and evil. Because at that moment Adam wanted to eat the fruit of good and evil. At that moment Eve was more precious to Adam than God. The moment Adam ate the fruit of good and evil, the good for Adam was Eve, and the evil was God.
† Even though God has set what is good and what is evil, those who set their own standards of good and evil for themselves, do not accept the standards of good and evil set by God. That is, they do not accept the truthfulness of the commandments. Therefore, the reason God placed the fruit of good and evil and told Adam not to eat the fruit of good and evil was to enable Adam to realize his hidden sin, that is, his imperfect free will, and to come to God's life and to gain eternal life. In other words, God was trying to make Adam a creature who would never eat the fruit of good and evil even if the fruit was next to Adam. Only love can make Adam that way[147], and Adam can realize that love only when Adam reaches the cross of the Son who was cursed[148] and forsaken[149] in Adam's place.[150]
† Just as there is no death in the fruit of good and evil itself, so there is no life in the fruit of life itself. The fruit of good and evil is just a sign indicating that those who eat it have a sin that causes death, and the fruit of life is also a sign that shows that those who eat it will never again rebel against God. Those who violate the commandments and commit sins eat the fruit of good and evil, and those who keep the commandments and do not sin eat the fruit of life. God's purpose for Adam is not simply to prevent Adam from eating any particular fruit, but to make Adam a person who will not eat the fruit God told him not to eat. God's purpose is not to make Adam eat the fruit of life, but to make him a person who can eat the fruit of life. The fruits are just the means for God to lead Adam into true life, and the fruits themselves are meaningless.
† The Son is the commandment of creatures.[151] Creatures can have life only in the Son.[152] Only creatures who submit to the reign of the Son, ruled by the commandments, the reign of love and justice, can receive the Son and obtain the life of the Father in the Son.[153] In other words, only these creatures can eat the fruit of life.[154] God wanted Adam to realize the value of rest in God's life by physically experiencing the price of sin outside the garden of Eden.[155] God drove Adam out of the garden of Eden in order to bring Adam back to God by making Adam realize the sin of rejecting God's love and breaking the commandments, and by causing Adam to abandon those sins with his own will. When Adam was in the garden of Eden before eating the fruit of good and evil, even if he was with God, he could not worship God as God intended to create Adam.[156] However, when Adam was cast out of the garden of Eden and returned to God, Adam would be completed as a creature who hates sin, knowing the love of God, knowing the importance of the commandments.[157] The completed Adam will become a creature that worships God according to the original purpose and intention of God's creation of Adam. Adam will be a creature resembling the image of Christ[158] who became the Firstborn over all creatures[159], even though He is God the Creator.[160] When the prodigal son left home, he was a son who only worried his father. But when he returned to his father, the prodigal son knew his father's love, loved his father, and became a son who truly served his father.[161]
Prov.21:7 The violence of the wicked will drive them away, Because they refuse to do what is right.
† If anyone refuses to do justice, that is, if he does not keep the commandments, he cannot eat the fruit of life, cannot obtain eternal life, and is judged and destroyed.
Heb.10:27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
† To forsake the commandments is to forsake God's life and to be consumed by fire.
John12:48 He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.
John12:49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
John12:50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."
† The commandments are eternal life. The Father revealed the commandments through His Son. Those who believe in the Son will keep the commandments and have eternal life, and those who do not believe in the Son will break the commandments and be judged and thrown into the lake of fire.
Prov.3:18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
Prov.11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
† Wisdom is the tree of life. The wise will eat its fruit, the fruit of life, and live forever. The source of wisdom is God, and the word of God is wisdom.
Prov.8:12 "I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.
Prov.8:22 "Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, Before his deeds of old.
Prov.8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth existed.
Prov.8:30 Then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, Always rejoicing before him,
† The Son is wisdom, and the Son is the tree of life. The Son is expressed in wisdom in the Bible.[162]
Prov.15:4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, But deceit in it crushes the spirit.
† The tree of life is the wholesome tongue, the word of God.
Job28:28 To man he said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.'"
† Wisdom is to fear God and to turn away from evil, to keep the commandments. The wise keep the commandments and eat the fruit of life, the fruit of keeping the commandments, and live forever.
Ps.19:7 Yahweh's law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
† God's commandments give wisdom. God's commandments give eternal life.
Rev.20:11 I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.
Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.
Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Rev.20:15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
† Creatures stand before the throne and are judged by the commandments. Only the creatures recorded in the book of life by keeping the commandments are saved. The rest are burned and paid for their own sins. When sin and its slaves are extinguished, there is no more crime and no death. If anyone cannot eat the fruit of life[163], that is, if he does not obey the Son, he is thrown into the lake of fire.
John1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
† Eden, the realm of light placed in the darkness, is the Son, the true light, who came into the creation world. Only through the Son shines the Creator's light on the creation world.[164] The light of glory shining from the throne of the Most Holy of the Tabernacle was also only a light to reveal the Son, who is the true light.[165] The light of the heaven of angels is also a light that reflects the light of the Son, and is not the true light. In order for anyone to remain in the Son, in Eden, he must obey the commandments and not eat the fruit of good and evil. The Son is the tree of life.[166] There is life in the Son, and only those who eat the Son live forever.[167] The Son is the Last Adam, the image of God, and the Word.[168] The Son was foreshadowed by the LORD God walking in the Garden and the flaming sword flashing back and forth. (Before God the Son became human and entered into the creation world, all those who acted on behalf of the Father's command in the name of the Father were angels.[169] Those who appeared as God until the Son came are not actually the Son, nor the Father.[170] After the Son comes in the Father's name[171] and inherits the Father's name[172], in His resurrected body[173] He sits on the true throne of the heaven of angels[174] to do the Father's work in the Father's name. God the Son who is now a creature, will be restored to God after destroying all enemies.[175] I am guessing now, as a creature made in space-time. What it really means is something that creatures who are confined in space-time, cannot dare to know.[176] The Son who created[177] and is sustaining the creation world[178] including space-time[179], is God the Creator[180], equal to His Father.[181])
John5:19 Jesus therefore answered them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
† After the Son entered into His creation world, the Son took on His Father's name.
John3:19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
John3:20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
John3:21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
† Those who do evil reject the Son, who is the light, and cannot eat the fruit of life that is only in the Son.
Ex.33:20 He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."
† Those who have been cast out of Eden, the light to darkness, because of the sin of eating the fruit of good and evil, cannot see God anymore.
Judg.6:22 Gideon saw that he was the angel of Yahweh; and Gideon said, Alas, Lord Yahweh! because I have seen the angel of Yahweh face to face.
† Those who have sinned and are driven out of Eden cannot see the Flaming Sword, the Word, God, who is in Eden, the most holy place. Before the Son came in the name of the Father, the Angel of Yahweh kept the name of God[182] placed in the most holy place[183] and was carrying out the commands given in the name of God. Therefore, the angel who carried out God's commands in the name of God was God to humans.[184] (When a king sends a messenger, the messenger's words are the same as the king's words, but the messenger is not the king.)
Judg.13:21 But the angel of Yahweh did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yahweh.
Judg.13:22 Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
† When a sinner sees God, he dies. Manoah actually saw an angel, but here he expresses it as if he had seen God. However, the actual throne of God is not a place where angels or the like can dare to sit.[185]
Is.6:5 Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Hosts!"
† Because the King, Yahweh of hosts, judges on the throne, when a sinner sees God, he/she is judged and dies. In order to survive this judgment, we need the blood of the Son and the faith that tears the curtain, a life as a witness who follows the Son and follows the way of the cross. Those who put up only the forgiveness of sins received by the blood of the Son and live a life of sin without following the way of the cross[186], or who do not depend on the blood of the Son and depend on their own works in order to achieve their salvation by themselves[187] and live a life of hypocrisy without following the way of the cross[188], can never escape judgment.
† The Father had decided to pass over the creatures granted free will to the Son, and God began the creation.[189] God gave the creatures free will. Therefore, in order for God to complete the creation of the creatures, He must also complete the free will of the creatures. The free will of the creatures can be completed only through love.[190] The Creator and the creatures are connected by love in the blood of the Son.[191] The Father determined to pass over the creation world to the Son, who would become a creature, to complete the creation through the Son[192], and then to bring the completed creatures from within the Son into the Father.[193] (The Father, who loves the Son, loves only those creatures soaked in the blood of the Son and completed with love. The Father does not love creatures without the marks of the Son.[194]) In order to inherit the creation world and complete the creation, the Son had to become a creature.[195] The creation world belongs to God the Father, the Creator, and at the same time[196], it belongs to God the Son[197], the Creator. Therefore, in order for the Son to inherit the creation world, He must first give up the creation world. Also, when sinful creatures are revealed before the Creator, they are immediately judged and consumed before God[198], who is a consuming fire and lives in a light that creatures cannot dare to approach.[199] That is why the Creator had to empty Himself in order to enter into the creation world, which allowed sin to exist for a while.[200] That is the incarnation.[201]
† The Son, who is God the Creator, became completely human, so that creatures would not die when they saw God[202], proclaimed the Word of God to creatures[203], and showed the love of God through His cross[204], giving them an opportunity for salvation.[205] The free will of angels who came to know the Creator's love through the cross[206] will be completed when the truthfulness of the commandments is clearly proven. The truthfulness of the commandments is finally proved only when the last of the 3 firstfruits, the firstfruits redeemed from among men, come out.[207] The Son affirmed the love of God to creatures by being crucified and forsaken from the Father.[208] Already the Son has risen from the dead as the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.[209] In addition, the disciples who have the firstfruits of the Spirit came out[210] and Satan was cast out from the realm of God that was made in Hades. (The kingdom of God, ruled by God the Holy Spirit[211], was established within the realm of Hades[212] that Satan controls.[213]) The judgment on Satan fraudswarms, who killed the Creator through the cross, was confirmed. The free will of humans who are receiving the Son and accepting His words[214] is also strengthening righteously.[215] The free will of those who will be raised by the resurrection of life will be finally perfected at the time of the 1st resurrection when they see the Son[216], and the 2nd resurrection of life that will take place before the great white throne.[217] (I wonder if our free will will be perfected when God the Holy Spirit comes upon us in the truth. Seeing that even Paul, who was baptized with God the Holy Spirit, beat his body and made it his slave so that he would not be disqualified[218], and confessed that he died everyday[219], it seems that our free will is not perfected when God the Holy Spirit comes upon us. Even so, considering what the Angel of Yahweh said to Abraham, who offered Isaac, 'Now I know that you fear God'[220], and that the witnesses who are sealed by God the Holy Spirit[221], who comes even as the latter rain[222], will never betray God[223], I wonder if the free will can be perfected before the resurrection. In any case, what is certain is that we never sin as long as we are filled with God the Holy Spirit.[224]) Those who receive the Son will be free from sin and will not be thrown into the lake of fire at the time of the great white throne judgment, when the Creator sets humans before Him and throws even death and Hades into the lake of fire.[225]
Is.6:5 Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Hosts!"
† Creatures who have violated the commandments because their free will has not yet been completed, or who are likely to violate the commandments and therefore will surely violate the commandments someday, such creatures will be judged and die when they actually see God. However, God the Son emptied what God was and entered into space-time. The Angel of Yahweh, who appeared to humans as God in the name of the Father before the Son came, was not a real God, but an angel. Therefore, Adam[226], Abraham[227], Moses[228], Joshua[229], Gideon[230], Manoah[231], Elijah[232], Isaiah[233], Ezekiel[234], Daniel, and many other prophets could survive without dying even when they saw God.
† Nevertheless, when God revealed to many prophets the name of the Father, the throne and the glory of the One who sat upon it, they lamented at their sins before the glory of God, or they had to be like dead. (Peter also groaned before the LORD Jesus.[235]) Therefore, even though they did not actually die, they would have experienced dying to sin.[236]
Dan.8:15 It happened, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Dan.8:16 I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Dan.8:17 So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end.
Dan.8:18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
† Deep sleep means death. Complete death is the 2nd death, the lake of fire.[237] If a sinner stands in front of the great white throne, he/she suffers a 2nd death. Directly speaking, he/she dies completely. I think it will probably mean an extinction in which being returns to non-being after fair[238] punishment.[239] Foreshadowing this death is earthen death, in which the body turns to dust. Strictly speaking, of course, it is sleeping, not death, that the body turns to dust. And the sleep, the earthen death, is also different from being-forsaken death that is cut off from the life of God and thrown away. However, the earthen death, in which the body returns to dust, is also the result of a curse due to sin, and it can be seen as included in the 1st death along with the death of being forsaken because it is a curse that can be escaped clearly through resurrection. Since creatures have bodies, they cannot be said to be in perfect condition even though their bodies have been cursed or crippled. The body is also important. Otherwise, God would not necessarily resurrect Adam's soulish body into a spiritual body.[240] Those who were forgiven by the blood of the Son and were connected to the life of God and were alive also suffered a sleeping death in which the body was turned to dust. Even though death in which the soul is forsaken and death in which the body returns to dust are the same 1st death, the time when the soul comes to life[241] and the time when the curse of the body ends[242] is different.[243] There are those who have died but are actually alive[244], and there are those who have lived but are actually dead in God's view.[245] Some of the sleeping ones whose flesh has returned to dust will come to the resurrection of life and will not lead to the 2nd death[246], but those who remain in the 1st death, that is, those who have not escaped from sin[247], will come to the resurrection of judgment and all suffer the 2nd death.[248]
† The meaning of the words that Daniel fell into a deep sleep probably means that Daniel saw God and died due to the death of the flesh turning to dust.[249] Of course, it may not mean that he is acually dead, but just to show that the sinner dies when he/she sees God.[250] If a sinner actually sees God, he/she will suffer the 2nd death.[251] And before the forgiveness of sins is accomplished by the blood of the Son, who is the substance of the sacrifice, God will not raise anyone up by the resurrection of life.[252] However, the God Daniel saw at this time would be an angel who appeared to people in the Father's name before the Son came in the Father's name. Therefore, I think that it may have been revealed through Daniel fell asleep after meeting the Angel of Yahweh who came in the name of God that when a sinner actually sees God, he/she will suffer the 2nd death, the eternal death. God the Son made Himself nothing[253] and came as a creature[254] so that creatures would not die when they see God the Creator. The Son will sit on the great white throne, judge creatures with the commandments[255], and throw all the transgressors into the lake of fire. I don't know if the Son is a creature wearing a resurrected body at this time, or whether He became God the Creator again, but I guess He will become God again after throwing the guilty creatures into the lake of fire.[256] (I am looking at this from the perspective of a creature trapped in the limits of space-time. God the Son has revealed Himself as a creature within the limits of space-time[257], but I believe what it really means is not known to creatures.[258] God the Son is God the Creator[259] who transcends[260] space-time[261]. God the Son Himself created space-time.[262])
Dan.8:26 The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true: but seal up the vision; for it belongs to many days [to come].
Dan.8:27 I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.
Dan.10:5 I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz:
Dan.10:6 his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Dan.10:7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me didn't see the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Dan.10:8 So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
Dan.10:9 Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Dan.10:10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
Dan.10:11 He said to me, Daniel, you man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for to you am I now sent. When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
Dan.10:12 Then said he to me, Don't be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you did set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard: and I am come for your words' sake.
† Here Daniel falls asleep deeply again. In other words, he dies again. And the one who was sent brings him back to life. This is an example of dying when we see the Son who inherits the Father's name and judges, and reviving when the Son raises us.[263]
Ezek.1:26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.
Ezek.1:27 I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.
Ezek.1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
Ezek.2:1 He said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.
Ezek.2:2 The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
† Here, Ezekiel dies and comes alive.
Ex.33:18 He said, "Please show me your glory."
Ex.33:19 He said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."
Ex.33:20 He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."
Ex.33:21 Yahweh also said, "Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.
Ex.33:22 It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
Ex.33:23 then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
† Creatures are confined within the limits of space-time. Therefore, there are no creatures who can actually see God who transcends space-time. And there are no creatures who can actually see God and survive. This is because the free will of the creatures has not been completed, and the possibility to sin remaining to them has not yet extinguished. In other words, they are creatures who will sin at any time. So, the Son, who is the real God, came as a human being so that the creatures did not die even after seeing God.[264] It is impossible for a creature who can sin at any time to survive even after seeing God in reality. (I am not concluding that after the free will of the creature is completed, he/she will be able to see God in reality. Even when the free will of the creature is completed, he/she still cannot transcend space-time.)
† Because they saw the angel who came in the name of God, Moses or Daniel became like sleeping, but they did not perish and die. The reason John did not die in the 2nd death but only slept after seeing the Son in Revelation[265], is because John saw the revelation[266] and saw the Son in the body of resurrection, not because he saw the Son who is actually God.[267] John saw the Son seated on the white throne[268], but John saw the revelation. Also, the One seen by John, who sits on the white throne and judges, is highly likely to be the Son in the resurrection body[269] because the Father has entrusted all judgment to the Son.[270] Even when the Son comes in his own glory[271], the Son does not come in the state of being God, but in the state of being resurrected and in glory.[272] Those who will be resurrected will also be glorified.[273] The disciples who saw God the Son who was resurrected with a spiritual body[274] and became like an angel after His resurrection[275], did not die even after seeing God[276], because they did not see the Son who is God, but the Son who is a creature in the body of resurrection. When God resurrects and transforms us[277], we also wear a spiritual body like the Son.[278]
† When the Son comes back as King and establishes the 1000-year kingdom, the Son comes in the glory of His Father.[279] The Son who comes in the glory of the Father is coming in His own glory.[280] Because the Father glorifies the Son with His glory[281], and the Father and the Son share the same glory[282], so the glory of the Father and the glory of the Son are the same.[283] The Son also glorifies His saints with His glory.[284] Therefore, those who are raised by the 1st resurrection and enter the new Jerusalem of the 1000-year kingdom will also walk in the glory that the Son gave them.[285] This glory[286] is God the Holy Spirit.[287] Because the glory comes to the saints in person, the saints who are nothing but creatures become glorified.[288]
† The body of the Son, who was resurrected and appeared to His disciples, and the body of the Son, who ascended to heaven and sat on the throne, are the same resurrected body, not different. But why did the disciples not become like the dead after seeing the resurrected Son as John saw the Son and became like the dead?[289] I am not sure, but I think it is the difference between when the Son comes in His glory[290] and when He just resurrects and appears. In other words, it seems that John became like the dead because the Son appeared in His glory.[291] When the Son transfigured gloriously on the high mountain before His resurrection[292], Peter and John were so frightened.[293] But I believe that the glory of God is hidden only from sinners and is always the same.[294] It is also an attribute of sinners that when God opens their eyes and allows them to see His glory, they are afraid, but when they do not see the glory, they are not. Those who feared God[295] when speaking through angels[296] in the thunder, lightning, darkness, gloom and storm on Mount Sinai[297], when God speaks to them through men, they do not fear God, but rather kill those prophets who convey the word of God.[298] When an angel appeared in the glory of the Name in the name of God, people became like dead[299], but when the angel appeared without the glory of the Name, they were only a little surprised.[300]
† When we see that the Son throws sinners into the fire prepared for the devil and his angels after the Son has come in His glory[301], this fire prepared for the devil and his angels seems to be the lake of fire, and the One who sits on the great white throne seems to be the Son.[302] If so, it seems that the Son who sits on the great white throne and judges will be the 3rd time to come. (To be precise, at this time, the Son puts His creatures in front of Him to judge them.) In other words, it will be 1000 years after the Son came the 2nd time and sat on the throne of New Jerusalem. The division of sheep and goats takes place before the 1000-year kingdom is established. Because the sheep take their inheritance.[303] This inheritance is the 1000-year kingdom. And not only those who will be thrown into the lake of fire[304], but also those who are recorded in the book of life and will be raised by the resurrection of life but not be able to reach the 1st resurrection, will not be resurrected until the end of the 1000 years.[305] Therefore, I assume that when the Son divides sheep and goats, the time He speaks to the sheep and the time He speaks to the goats will be different. When the Son speakes to the sheep, it is time to come again to establish the 1000-year kingdom, and when He speaks to the goats, it will be the time in front of the great white throne after 1000 yeas. To make it easier to explain the separation of sheep and goats, it may have been written so that it feels as if He was speaking at the same time.
† It may be a difficult question as to whether the One seated on the great white throne is the Father or the Son, but I think the One is the Son. The Son has the right to judge.[306] It is written that the One who sits on the great white throne will throw sinners who reject the word of God[307] into the lake of fire that God has prepared for the devil and his angels.[308] All the dominion, authority and power to be thrown into the lake of fire are Satan fraudswarms, the fallen angels. From the great white throne the One will throw them into the lake of fire.[309] Since the Son reigns in the creation world until He destroys all His enemies, it will therefore be the Son who sits on the great white throne to destroy all enemies. After the creation is made subject to the Son, the Son is subject to the Father.[310] The last enemy to be destroyed is death.[311] The Son must reign until He puts all His enemies under His feet.[312] Death, the last enemy, is thrown into the lake of fire with Hades, at the time of the great white throne judgment.[313] At the great white throne judgment, the Son will put all His enemies under His feet, and only after that the Son Himself will be made subject to His Father who put everything under the Son. Therefore, it is probably the Son who sits on the great white throne and judges the creatures and completes the creation. (I think only while the Son is a creature. As long as the Son is a creature, the Son is subject to the Father.[314] Anything more than that is beyond the scope of creatures dare to know.[315] Creatures can only know that much only what God the Creator has made them known,[316] exactly that much.)
† Moses and Elijah appeard in glorious splendor to talk with the LORD Jesus, before the LORD Jesus was resurrected. Does that mean that Moses and Elijah have already been resurrected? Then, does it mean that the dead righteous can already be resurrected before God makes the 7th trumpet sound?[317] Probably not. The time to overcome death is the time to resurrect and transform.[318] That is why the truthfulness of the commandments is proved at the time of resurrection and transform. And this has not yet happened historically. Therefore, I believe that what Peter, James and John 'saw' is not the actual resurrection of Moses and Elijah, but a vision or revelation that God showed them.[319] Prophets like Isaiah[320] and Ezekiel[321] also saw visions.[322] Paul also saw the 3rd heaven as a vision and revelation[323] which had not yet been made historically in space-time. The 3rd heaven is the 1000-year kingdom, the paradise[324], the new heaven and the new earth[325], that the Son will make when He comes again.[326] Only the LORD Jesus is the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep[327], the firstfruits of the Feast of Firstfruits[328]. Before the official atonement of the creation world was accomplished through the cross, sinners like Moses and Elijah could never have already been resurrected. Resurrection has meaning only for those who are covered with the blood of the LORD Jesus.[329]
Rev.1:13 And in the midst of the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
Rev.1:14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
Rev.1:15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
Rev.1:16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
Rev.1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last,
† Seeing the glory emanating from the Son, John fell at His feet as dead.
Ps.9:7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
† When a sinner sees[330] God[331], when he/she is placed before the throne of God[332], he/she dies.[333] Because the judgment is executed immediately.[334]
Ps.9:8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
† Judgment is executed by the commandments of God[335], which are the foundation of the throne[336], that was symbolized as the atonement cover, the mercy seat.[337]
Lev.16:15 "Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
Lev.16:16 and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness.
† On the Day of Atonement, on the day when He foreshadowed the redemption of all sins with the blood of the goat symbolizing the Son, the LORD Jesus, the High Priest, sprinkles His blood on the front of the throne and before the throne to make atonement first for those who repent confiding in the blood of the Son before judging sinners who violate the commandments. Of course, this blood sprinkling also has the meaning of extinguishing the possibility to sin remaining in the creatures who are granted free will.[338] The Day of Atonement[339] is sandwiched between the Feast of Trumpets[340] which symbolizes the Son's return, and the Feast of Tabernacles[341] which symbolizes the 1000-year kingdom that the Son will establish. This is because the Son will come again to remove sin from the creation world and make His kingdom for 1000 years. On the last trumpet, the 7th trumpet, the resurrection and the transformation occurs[342], and the judgment of the 7 plagues is poured out on the earth.[343] After that, the Son who caught up the saints to the clouds in the air[344], comes to the earth with the armies of heaven[345] and imprisons Satan fraudswarms in the abyss.[346] In view of this, the blood sprinkling on the historical Day of Atonement takes place around the resurrection and the transformation.
† The time of resurrection and transformation is when the firstfruits are confirmed[347] and the truthfulness of the commandments is proved. When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, doubts about the commandments remaining in the unguilty angels are completely annihilated. Therefore, angels no longer misunderstand the love and justice of God who gave commandments to creatures. The very possibility to sin remaining in the angels is extinguished.[348] God expresses that the possibility to sin is extinguished and the free will of angels is perfected[349], as blood is sprinkled in the sanctuary, that is, the heaven of angels. While the blood of the Son is sprinkled in the heaven of angels and the free will of angels is completed, the 7 plagues are poured out on the earth. (I do not mean that the blood of the Son is actually sprinkled in the heaven of angels, but that the atonement is finally concluded with the blood of the Son. The Creator's love and justice in the blood have meaning, not the blood itself.) Just as no one can be in the Tent of Meeting while the high priest sprinkles blood to atone for the sanctuary[350], so no one can enter the true temple until the 7 plagues are over.[351] Those who are resurrected or transformed cannot sin, so they cannot die again.[352] When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the witnesses who have conquered sin by resurrection and transformation, the firstfruits of which sin has been blotted out, the possibility to sin still remaining in the angels who have not sinned is also extinguished. Sin is blotted out of the creation world.[353]
† After the atonement for all the creations, symbolized by the most holy place and the tent of meeting, by the blood of the Son, 'the man appointed for the task' takes the scapegoat to the desert. This 'man appointed for the task' is the Son who is the Seed of a woman[354], and at the same time, the firstfruits of God.[355] The firstfruits that God appointed as witnesses through God the Holy Spirit. The scapegoat symbolizes Satan, and the desert symbolizes the abyss. Just as the Son imprisons Satan in the desert[356] by overcoming his temptation, the man appointed for the task drags Satan away into the abyss by keeping the commandments of love.[357] In order to judge Satan who does not keep the commandments[358] and claims that creatures cannot keep the commandments[359], witnesses who actually keep the commandments[360] must come out.[361] They are the firstfruits, the adoptees.[362] God will prove that the commandments are worthy to be the basis of judgment through these adoptees[363], the martyr witnesses.[364] After that, He will imprison Satan fraudswarms who violate the commandments in the abyss for 1000 years.[365] In the meantime, the LORD Jesus will give a time of righteous consolation to the martyr witnesses who have given up their lives on this earth.[366] In the new heaven and the new earth, the martyrs will reign as royal priests under the LORD Jesus for 1000 years.[367] When the 1000-year kingdom is over, the LORD Jesus will burn all sinful creatures in the lake of fire. On the great white throne, He will completely annihilate all sins of creation.[368] There will be no sin in creation world forever and ever.[369]
Heb.9:11 But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
† The greater and more perfect tabernacle refers to the true sanctuary symbolized by the man-made tabernacle, the heaven of angels.
Heb.9:12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.
† The Son ascended with His own blood to the true throne above the tops of the clouds[370] and redeemed those who obey Him.[371]
Heb.9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:
Heb.9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
† The blood of animals, which symbolizes the blood of the Son, also purified and sanctified the saints in the old testament who showed their faith in the Son through animal sacrifices.[372] Then, how surely the blood of the Son will make the saints keep the commandments of God[373] and offer true worship to God.[374]
Heb.9:15 For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
† This blood of animals symbolizes the blood of the Son. The reason that judgment passes over me is because the Son redeemed my sins with His blood.[375] Because the Son suffered the judgment I had to face in my place.[376]
Rev.6:16 They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
† When judgment begins on the throne, the wrath of God against those who reject the Son, ignore the commandments, and trample their neighbors will be terrifying.[377]
Ps.21:9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.
† All the sinful trash of creation world will be burned in the lake of fire.[378]
Jer.8:3 Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Yahweh of Hosts.
† When the judgment begins on those who oppose God and trample their neighbors, they will rather want to die from the suffering of judgment.
Hos.10:8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars. They will tell the mountains, "Cover us!" and the hills, "Fall on us!"
† Evildoers, who reject God and ignore the commandments, will try to avoid the glory of God who judges because of the fear of judgment.[379]
Matt.25:41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;
† Satan fraudswarms who have abandoned the commandments, will be thrown into the lake of fire at the time of judgment.[380]
Matt.26:64 Jesus said to him, "You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, henceforth you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky."
Luke23:30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
† The sinner will be overwhelmed by the fear of judgment.[381]
Rom.14:10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Rom.14:11 For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"
Rom.14:12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.
† There must be a time when each person falls down before their Creator.
2Thess.1:7 and to give relief to you that are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,
2Thess.1:8 giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those who don't obey the gospel of the LORD Jesus,
2Thess.1:9 who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
† For those who reject the Creator and want to escape from the Creator of love, what they want will be done. They will be freed from the realm of existence by being burned as much as their sins and extinguished out of God's love. God is the One who can call non-being into being at any time, and who can restore being to non-being. Existence or non-existence, to the eternally infinite Creator God, is just as if nothing were there.[382]
2Tim.4:1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

Deut.4:24 For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
Heb.12:29 for our God is a consuming fire.

Rev.14:10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.

Rev.19:13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called "The Word of God."
† The Son, who is the Word, will come again in glory and judge righteously with the commandments.
Rev.19:19 I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.
Rev.19:20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. They two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
Rev.19:21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.
† When the Son comes again, He will burn the beast and the false prophet in the lake of fire, and judge their armies by His Word. After that, He will imprison Satan in the abyss and rule the 1000-year kingdom.
Rev.20:11 I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.
Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.
Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
† After the 1000-year kingdom is over, the LORD Jesus judges on the great white throne. In the creation world, the creatures in sin are burned, and even death, the wages of sin, is thrown into the lake of fire. The existence of sin completely disappears from the creation world, and only creatures who are subject to God's rule, the rule of love, remain. Because God is just, judgment will be just as well.[384] Those who commit many sins will be burned as much as many sins, I guess.[385] Since Satan has committed the most sins, it is assumed that he will be burned the longest. Even if humans joined Satan and sinned[386], it is not believed that they would face equal or heavier punishment than Satan.[387] However, in any case, it is a fire that will not be extinguished forever until the amount of sin has been burned.[388] Even a fire that burns only earthen bodies is painful enough that we cannot endure it. We must not take lightly the fire that extinguishes not only the body but also the soul.[389]

[40] Job1:8 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil."

Ezek.22:23 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, Son of man, tell her, You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst of it. Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst of it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain. Her prophets have daubed for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, when Yahweh has not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully. I sought for a man among them, who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none. Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says the Lord Yahweh.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth." So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires. You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?" But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

[88] 2Pet.2:4 For if God didn't spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;

[96] 1John5:11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.
