1. The Heir
The creation world was created for the Son and through the Son.[1] Only God the Son[2] is precious to God the Father.[3] For God the Son, God the Father can sacrifice everything.[4] Only God the Father is precious to God the Son.[5] For God the Father[6], God the Son can sacrifice everything.[7]
God can create creatures at any time and annihilate creatures at any time.[8] Creatures themselves mean nothing to God.[9] The reason God the Father loves creatures, is that they become the Son's.[10] Because the Son inherits the creation world.[11] The Son sheds His blood on the creation world[12] and makes it His own.[13] The creation world which had no meaning[14], has value because of the blood of the Son.[15]
The creation world has meaning only in the Son.[16] The reason why the Father wants to perfect the free will of creatures even at the cost of forsaking the Son who is His everything[17], is because He loves the Son.[18] Because He loves the Son, the Father also loves the Son's inheritance.[19] The Father who loves the Son, perfects the Son's inheritance through the Son.[20] Through the Son, the Father brings the Son's inheritance into the Father's love.[21] Through the Son, creatures enter into the love of the Father who loves the Son.[22] Creatures that do not honor the Son, mean nothing to the Father.[23] The Son will eventually burn the scum that do not obey the Son.[24]
Is.43:21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
† God predetermined to create creatures for God.
Ps.2:8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
† The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become a creature and inherit the creation world.
Luke20:13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.'
Luke20:14 "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
† The Son will come to Hades to inherit the creation world. Satan fraudswarms will kill the Son. The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to inherit the creation world through the cross[25] and began creation.[26] (We think of it with the thought of a creature that exists only in space-time.)
John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
† The Second Person in the Trinity empties Himself and inherits the creation world from the First Person in the Trinity. Through this process, sin is annihilated in the creation world and creation is completed.[27] God predetermined to complete creation through the cross and began creation.[28]
John17:2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him, he will give eternal life.
† Only those creatures that obey the Son, survive.[29] Only the creatures that submit to the rule of love, survive.[30] God gave free will to creatures.[31] Each creature must choose whether to obey the Son and survive[32], or defy the Son and be thrown into the lake of fire.[33] The Son is the eternal life of creatures.[34]
† The Son will prove the truthfulness of the commandments through the cross. Covered with the blood of the cross, the saints will prove the truthfulness of the commandments. The Son will prove that God's love and justice are true.[35] The Son will cause creatures to obey Him willingly.[36]
† Through the cross, a creature comes to realize God's love and justice.[37] The creature who came to realize God's love and justice comes to love God.[38] When it loves God, the creature comes to keep God's commandments.[39] When it loves God, the creature loves God and its neighbors.[40] When it loves God, the free will of the creature is perfected.[41] God predetermined to uphold the creation world as such a structure and began creation.[42]
† The creatures with perfected free will, will never sin again. Perfected creatures will love God and their neighbors. In the perfected creation world, crime will never happen again.[43] All creatures will submit to the rule of love.[44] All creatures will obey the commandments. Creatures will always abide in God.[45] If we do not sin, we will not die.[46] Through the Son who bore the cross, creatures gain eternal life.[47]
Rom.11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
† The creation world comes from God, is upheld through God, and is returned to God.[48] God explained it like this so that we who exist only in space-time, can understand.[49] But God is the One[50] who transcends[51] space-time.[52] God is present in every moment and every place[53] at the same time.[54] To God, the creation world may always exist[55], or it may be as if it did not exist.[56] Existence or non-existence, it is only in God[57] who is infinite.[58] When God calls, non-existence becomes existence[59], and when God returns, existence becomes non-existence.[60] God is not only the God of existence, but also the God of non-existence.[61] In any case, the creation world exists only in God and only for God.[62]
1Cor.8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
† The Father is God the Creator, and the Son is also God the Creator.[63] For the sake of the Father all creatures exist, and for the sake of the Son all creatures exist.[64] All creatures exist because of the Father, and all creatures exist because of the Son.[65]
Eph.1:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
Eph.1:8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Eph.1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
Eph.1:10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
† In order to redeem us, God the Son emptied Himself and became a creature and was forsaken by God the Father. God the Son became an adam in order to redeem adam by shedding His blood.[66] God the Son became an adam to bear the curse of adam instead.[67] God the Son became an adam in order to be forsaken by God the Father in place of adam.[68]
† The blood of the Last Adam atones not only for adam but also for the entire creation world.[69] It is not because the blood itself has meaning, but because it has meaning in God's love and justice, which is demonstrated during the process of shedding blood. The soul, the life, the free will[70], the right to decide, is in the blood.[71] The soul that decides whether or not to commit a crime, is in the blood. The soul uses the body to commit crimes.[72] The Last Adam takes the curse that the soul of adam who sinned should take, instead.[73] The blood that should have been shed by adam who sinned, is shed by the Last Adam instead. The soul of adam who sinned should be forsaken[74], but the soul of the Last Adam is forsaken instead.[75]
† This is the view that adam's body is freed from the curse because the Last Adam bears the curse of the soul instead of adam. It is the view that because the soul is freed from sin[76], the body is also[77] freed from the curse.[78] Of course, the curse of the body[79] will be completely over[80] only when we are resurrected or transformed.[81] Because the body is no longer dust.[82] The curse of the ground is completely over when the 1000-year kingdom is fulfilled.[83]
† (There may be a view that the Last Adam bore not only the curse of the soul[84] but also the curse of the body on the cross.[85] This is the view that He took the curse of the soul and the curse of the body at the same time. However, the Last Adam was clothed with a body that was cursed[86] just[87] like us[88] even before He was crucified.[89] It means that His body was already cursed even before the Son was crucified. Anyway, the Last Adam bought our body[90] as well as our soul with His blood.[91] God will even resurrect or transform our body.[92])
† (There may be a view that both 'soul and spirit', not just 'soul', decide whether or not to commit a crime. It is the view that adam's free will lies not in the 'soul' of adam, but in the 'soul and spirit' of adam. It is the view that the 'soul' is not adam, but the 'soul and spirit' are adam. If the 'soul' alone did not decide to commit a crime but the 'soul and spirit' decided to commit a crime, then not only the 'soul' alone but all the 'soul and spirit' would have to pay for the crime. It is the view that not only the 'soul' of adam, but all the 'soul and spirit' of adam must be redeemed. If adam's free will resides in the 'soul' of adam, then the 'soul' of the Last Adam would have to be forsaken in place of adam. If adam's free will resides in the 'soul and spirit' of adam, then the 'soul and spirit' of the Last Adam would have to be forsaken in place of adam. But I see adam as the 'soul'. I think adam's free will resides in adam's 'soul'. I see the 'soul' decides whether to follow the spirit or the flesh.[93])
† It is not the shedding of blood that counts; it matters that the soul is cursed and forsaken. It is not important that the body dies[94], but that the soul is cursed and forsaken. Atonement is not accomplished because the body dies, but because the soul is cursed and forsaken. Therefore, through the process of the Last Adam being cursed and forsaken, God's love and justice are proved.[95] Through the cross where the Last Adam shed blood, God's love and justice are proved.
† God's love[96] and justice[97] are proved through the blood of the LORD Jesus, because the LORD Jesus took our curse upon Himself and was forsaken by God the Father on our behalf. Because God's love and justice were proved by the shedding of the blood of the LORD Jesus, the creation world is atoned for by the blood of the LORD Jesus.[98] In the process of the LORD Jesus being cursed and forsaken, God's love and justice are proved[99], so the creation world is atoned for.[100] If the LORD Jesus had shed blood and died in an accident[101], even if the LORD Jesus had shed blood[102], the creation world would not have been atoned for by that accident.[103] (Of course, it is impossible for the LORD Jesus to suffer an accident.[104]) What is important is not the blood of the flesh itself, but God's love and justice that are proved through the blood.[105]
† The reason why God the Son redeemed us, is to gather all creatures together in one in the Son. It is to bring all creatures into the rule of love.[106] Through the blood of the Son, creatures come to realize God's love and justice.[107] Through the blood of the Son, creatures realize the weight of sin.[108] Through the blood of the Son, the free will of creatures is perfected.[109] Through the blood of the Son, the possibility to sin hidden in creatures is annihilated.[110] Through the blood of the Son, sin will never happen again in the creation world.[111] Through the blood of the Son, sin is annihilated in the creation world.[112] Through the blood of the Son, the creation world is atoned for.[113]
Eph.1:11 in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;
Eph.1:12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
† God predetermined us that we should be to the praise of His glory. God respects the free will of creatures.[114] God foreknows and predestines.[115] God foreknows those who will obey Him[116], and foreordains only those whom He foreknew.[117]
† Just because a creature wants to obey God does not mean that it can obey God.[118] A creature cannot obey God in its own strength.[119] A creature can submit to God only by the grace of God.[120] But unless a creature is willing to submit to God[121], God will not force grace upon the creature. The creature can make God's grace in vain.[122]
† If a creature is willing to submit to God[123], God will be gracious to that creature.[124] If it receives grace, it will submit to God. It was only by the grace of God that it was able to obey God[125], but if it had not been willing[126] to obey God[127], God would not have forced[128] grace upon it.[129]
† God already knows which creatures will submit to Him and which will reject His grace.[130] If God creates a creature that will reject God's grace[131], that creature will surely defy God.[132] But, nevertheless, God creates that creature.[133] Even though it is a creature that is certain to sin[134], God creates that creature.[135] We dare not ask God why He allowed us free will. We dare not ask God why He created that creature which would sin anyway.
† A creature cannot know the fate of its neighbor creatures.[136] We can only guess the end of the creature through its life.[137] If it is foreordained by God, it will bear the fruit of God the Holy Spirit.[138] If it persists in a life of sin, it is probably not the one God foreordained.[139] But it's just a guess.[140] Paul was a persecutor before his conversion[141], and he, Judas Iscariot, was one of the 12 disciples.
Eph.1:13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, -- in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Eph.1:14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.
† Those who hear the gospel of salvation and believe in it, are sealed with God the Holy Spirit. God the Holy Spirit guarantees the inheritance of the saints. This is so that we may praise the glory of God.
Eph.1:20 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
† Christ is resurrected by the power of God the Holy Spirit[142] and sits on the true throne.
Eph.1:21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.
† The Son inherited the name that is above every name.[143] That name is 'Jesus'.[144]
Eph.1:22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
Eph.1:23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
† The creation world is subject to the rule of the Son. The Son is the Head of the church, and the church is the body of the Son.[145]
Eph.3:8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Eph.3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;
Eph.3:10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
Eph.3:11 according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;
† After God predetermined to reveal the manifold wisdom of God to the angels through the church, He created the angels. Saints will overcome death by keeping the commandments and will be resurrected or transformed.[146] Saints will prove the truthfulness of the commandments through their resurrection or transformation.[147] The angels will be convinced of God's love and justice after seeing the resurrection or transformation of the saints. Through the resurrection or transformation of the saints, all doubts about God remaining in the angels will be annihilated. The free will of the angels is perfected through the church.
Phil.2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
† The Second Person in the Trinity began creation after He predetermined to become a creature and annihilate sin and death in the creation world.[148] The Second Person in the Trinity became an adam and put on a cursed[149] flesh.[150] The Son has set an example of overcoming sin[151] in the flesh from which the lust of flesh rises.[152] The Son who is the Word[153], overcame sin[154] through God the Holy Spirit.[155] If we also receive the word[156] and obey God the Holy Spirit[157], we can overcome sin.[158] If we overcome sin, we will not be held by death[159], so we will be resurrected or transformed.[160]
Phil.2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
Phil.2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
Phil.2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
† The Son comes into the creation world in the name of the Father.[161] The Son obeys the will of the Father even unto death.[162] The Son confirms the commandments of love as the reasonable standard of rule in the creation world. The commandments are what a creature can keep.[163] The Son[164], through His firstfruits[165], will finally confirm the truthfulness of the commandments.[166] The Son will burn in the lake of fire those who break the commandments and trample on their neighbors.[167]
† A creature comes to love God[168] only after it realizes the love of God.[169] When it loves God[170], the creature finally keeps the commandments.[171] When all creatures submit to the rule of love[172], creation becomes completed.[173]
† God's love and justice are expressed in the creation world as the commandments.[174] The commandments forbid the crime of trampling on one's neighbor.[175] Criminals who trample on their neighbors[176], will be annihilated.[177] Only creatures that love their neighbors, will remain.[178] When sin is annihilated in the creation world[179], creation becomes finally completed.[180]
Col.1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;
† God delivered us from the power of Satan and placed us under the rule of the Son. God freed us from the oppression of violence[181] and made us obey the commandments of love.[182]
Col.1:14 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins;
† In the Son we have forgiveness of sins.[183]
Col.1:15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
† The Son is God the Creator.[184] The Second Person in the Trinity exists in Himself.[185] The Second Person in the Trinity is equal to the First Person in the Trinity.[186] The Second Person in the Trinity[187] upholds infinity as ever-existing[188] with[189] the First Person in the Trinity.[190] The Second Person in the Trinity[191] transcends space-time[192] and is present in every moment and every place[193] at the same time.[194]
† The Son is the image of God.[195] The Son is the Firstborn of all creatures.[196] The word that the Son is the Firstborn, does not mean that the Son is the first created creature.[197] The word that the Son is the Firstborn, means that the Second Person in the Trinity emptied Himself and became the prototype of creatures.[198]
John1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
† The Son is in the bosom of the Father. A creature can come to the Father only through the Son.[199] The Second Person in the Trinity who transcends space-time, expresses Himself as a creature in space-time.[200] To say that the Son is the first created creature, means that there was a time when the Son was not present. It means that the Son is the one who exists only in the flow of time. For only in the flow of time can non-existence appear as existence.
† 'Non-existence' can only exist as 'existence' only in the flow of time. Only in the flow of time can something 'that was not there' come into being. To say that it did not exist in the past but exists in the present, means that it is in the flow of time. In other words, to say that the Son is the first created creature, means that the Son is in fact non-existence. It means that the Son cannot transcend time. It means that the Son exists only in time.
† But it is we, creatures, that exist only in time.[201] It is we creatures that were originally non-existent.[202] The Son is God the Creator[203] who is upholding[204] space-time.[205] The Son transcends space-time.
Heb.1:10 And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
Heb.1:11 They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
Heb.1:12 As a mantle you will roll them up, And they will be changed; But you are the same. Your years will not fail."
Heb.1:13 But of which of the angels has he said at any time, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"
† The Son is explained by quoting the words that describe God.[206] The Son is the everlasting God the Creator. But angels are creatures. The Second Person in the Trinity became a creature and is ruleing as the King of creatures in order to annihilate sin and death in the creation world.[207] But the Son is not just a king of creatures.[208] There was a time when there was no creature. Creatures exist only in time. But the Son is God the Creator who is ever-present.
Is.9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
† If the Son were the first created creature (I really do not want to make such an impossible assumption[209]), then the Son would have originally been non-existent. If the Son would have been non-existent, then the Son would exist only in space-time. If the Son existed only in space-time, He would not be the Creator. This is because a creature that exists only in space-time[210] cannot create space-time.[211] If the Son were the one who had been non-existent and came to be in time, then the Son could not be always present, could not be unchanging, could not transcend space-time, could not uphold infinity as ever-existing. But the Son is God the Creator who is ever-present.[212]
Heb.13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
† The Second Person in the Trinity upholds infinity as ever-existing. The Second Person in the Trinity[213] transcends[214] space-time.[215] The Second Person in the Trinity is always present with the First Person in the Trinity.[216]
John1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
† Ever-existing infinity that is beyond space-time, is not a domain that creatures can understand. A creature exists only in space-time. A creature cannot know the domain of non-existence. A creature sees, hears, thinks, and perceives only in the world in which it was created.[217] A creature cannot understand more.[218] No creature can reach the end of infinity even with its thought. The limits of that thought are also set by God.[219] Ever-existing infinity is a domain of God alone.[220]
Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God,
† The Son is in the form of God.[221] The Son is God. There cannot be a God who had not existed and later came into existence.[222] There cannot be a God who exists and then ceases to exist.[223] There can be no such thing as a God who was not, coming to be. There can be no such thing as a God who did not exist, coming into existence.[224] There can be no such thing as the God who is present, becoming non-existence. There can be no such thing as the God who exists, becoming non-existent.
† There cannot be a God who exists only in time.[225] There can be no such thing as God existing only in time. Space-time too is just a creature that the Son is upholding.[226] Space-time exists only in the Son.[227] The Son is God the Creator who transcends space-time.[228]
† The meaning that the One who is in the form of God, had not existed and came to exist, means that God had not existed and came to exist. If there would have been a time when God did not exist, then God would not be the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing. The meaning that He who did not exist can exist later, would mean that He who exists can cease to exist later. If God could become non-existent, then God would not be the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing.
† If there would have been a time when God did not exist, then God would be the One who exists only in the flow of time.[229] If there would be a time when God would not exist, then God would be the One who exists only in the flow of time.[230] If God were the One who existed only in the flow of time, then God would not be the One who created space-time.[231] However, God is the Creator who created and is upholding space-time.[232] God exists in Himself.[233] God is never annihilated. God is all of everything.[234] God accounts space-time[235] as less[236] than[237] nothing[238], and vanity.[239]
John1:3 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.
† If God ceased to exist, the creation world would be annihilated with Him. This is because creatures are created in God and exist only by the life of God.[240] The 'being annihilated' here does not mean such an annihilation[241] that God will return creatures to non-existence according to His will.[242] It just turns out to be 'false'.[243] It is neither existence nor non-existence, it just becomes a 'false'. We thought they existed, but it means that neither God nor the creation world actually exists.
† But God is true.[244] There is no such thing as God being both true and false. There is no such thing as God exists and does not exist at the same time. Truth cannot come out of lies. If God would become false even later, creation is impossible in the first place.[245] If God would become non-existent even later, creation is impossible in the first place. Even in changing space-time, truth is always true and false is always false.[246] How much more impossible would it be for lies and truth to be reversed in unchanging ever-existing infinity![247] Creatures do exist.[248] No matter how God regards space-time, the creation world actually exists to us.[249] Our very existence proves to each other that the Creator is true.[250]
† If it were possible for God to cease to exist, the creation world could not even exist in the first place.[251] To say that God can cease to exist, means that God exists only in space-time. Time could not have been created by the one who exists only in time.[252] But God is the One who created and is upholding time.[253] Only God is present in every moment and every place at the same time.[254] In other words, God is simultaneously upholding every moment and every place.[255]
† God is all in all.[256] All things are in God.[257] Space-time is in God.[258] The past, present and future are in God.[259] God is upholding all things.[260] God is upholding the past, present and future.[261] God is simultaneously upholding every moment and every place in the past, present and future.[262] However, creatures[263] cannot transcend[264] space[265]-time.[266] Creatures exist only in time.[267] A creature[268] cannot[269] understand[270] how God is upholding[271] the past or the future.[272]
† Even if the space-time we perceive to exist is in fact non-existent, God always exists. Even if 'existence' does not really exist, and in fact there is only 'non-existence', God always exists. It is God who is upholding the cognitive power that makes a creature to recognize something as 'existent' or 'not existent'.[273] It is God who is upholding space-time that creatures recognize as 'existent'.[274] Even if space-time does not really exist in God's eyes, God always exists. Whether space-time actually exists or not, God always exists. Whether space-time actually exists or not, it is God who is making us aware of space-time.[275] Even if space-time is not real in God's eyes, only God knows the truth. It is not a domain we can imagine.[276] God makes us perceive space-time as 'existent'.[277] We exist only as long as God makes us exist.[278] But God always exists.
† God is the God of existence, but He is also the God of non-existence. When God calls, non-existence becomes existence. When God returns, existence becomes non-existence again.[279] I do not know how God has brought non-existence into existence.[280] Anyway, God will return existence to non-existence through the lake of fire.[281] Before being returned to non-existence, the guilty creatures would have to pay for their sins in full in the lake of fire.[282] Whether or not space-time actually exists in God's eyes, space-time definitely exists to us. God is making us aware of space-time. The only one who knows the truth of existence or non-existence[283], is God alone, the True Existence.[284] Whether or not space-time actually exists in the eyes of God, space-time can exist only in God and not exist only in God.[285] God is not only the God of existence, but also the God of non-existence.[286]
† In the creation world as it is now, God expresses Himself as 'true'[287] to creatures.[288] Even if a world in which God expresses Himself as 'false'[289] is[290] possible[291], it is not a domain that a creature can dare to imagine.[292] If God were to express Himself as 'false', there would be nothing but God who expresses Himself as 'false'. Perhaps in such a world, during the time when God expresses Himself as 'false', there may not even be 'false' God.
† In the creation world as it is now, God expresses Himself as 'true'[293] to creatures.[294] In the creation world as it is now[295], God makes creatures recognize Him as the 'true' Person.[296] It is God who is making the concept of 'true and false' recognized to creatures.[297] And God shines Himself[298] as 'true' to creatures.[299] God shines[300] Himself[301] as[302] 'love' to creatures.[303] 'True'[304], that is, 'truth'[305], 'love'[306], and 'light'[307] appear in the creation world[308] as the 'commandments'.[309] The reality[310] of truth[311], love[312], light[313], commandments[314], and life[315] is the LORD Jesus.[316]
Rev.20:15 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
† Creatures that persist in sin pay for their sins by being burned in this lake of fire.[317] After paying all the wages of sin, they will be returned to non-existence.[318] These are the ones that persist in sin to the end.[319] Paying the price for their sins does not complete their free will.[320] They just tremble in the fear of God.[321] They do not rejoice in the rule of love.[322] God respects their free will which He has given them.[323] Therefore, they cannot live forever.[324] They will be annihilated and returned to non-existence.[325] God who calls non-existence into existence, also returns the existence to non-existence.[326] God is not only the God of existence[327], but also the God of non-existence.[328]
Jer.32:27 Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
† God the Creator upholds infinity as ever-existing.[329] There is nothing that the Almighty cannot control.[330] The Almighty rules non-existence, too.[331] The Almighty created and is upholding space-time.[332] The Almighty transcends space-time.[333] The Almighty is present in every moment and every place at the same time.[334] The Almighty is upholding every moment and every place at the same time.[335] The Almighty is all in all.[336] The Almighty is all of the past, present and future.[337] Creatures were non-existent, but the Almighty always exists.[338] Creatures exist only in space-time[339], but the Almighty is always present.[340] Only the Almighty is 'Existence'.[341]
Eph.4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
† The Father is all in all.
Col.3:11 where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
† The Son is all in all.
Ex.3:14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM," and he said, "You shall tell the children of Israel this: "I AM has sent me to you."
† Only God who is infinite, is all. Everything either exists or does not exist only in God.[342] God is the God of existence and non-existence. If God leaves non-existence as it is, then non-existence remains non-existence. When God calls non-existence, non-existence becomes existence.[343] If God Himself ceased to exist completely, nothing would exist.[344]
† God upholds infinity as ever-existing and transcends space-time. If God had existed and then ceased to exist, then God would not always be present. If God were not always present, then God would not be the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing. If God were not always present, then God would be present only in space-time. If God existed only in space-time, then God would not be the Creator who created space-time. If God were not the Creator, God's word would be false.
† If God existed only in space-time, then God would not be the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing. The coming into being of what was not, or the disappearance of what was, can happen only in space-time. In ever-existing infinity, what was not cannot come into being, and what was cannot pass away. There can be no change in the existence of God who is perfect. There can be no such thing as God did not exist and then comes into existence. There can be no such thing as God existed and then ceases to exist.
† If God were not the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing, then God would in fact be non-existent. If God were not the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing, the space-time created by God would in fact be non-existent. If God were not the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing, then God would be false, His Word would be false, and the space-time He created would be false.
† If God were not the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing, then God would not be self-existent, would not be true, and would not be able to create space-time with His word. If God's word were false, God would not be the Creator, nor would He be in control of existence and non-existence, nor would He be all in all. If God were not all in all, He would not be infinite, omnipotent, or perfect.
† But God is perfect.[345] God upholds infinity as ever-existing.[346] God is infinite[347] and rules existence and non-existence.[348] God is the Almighty[349] Creator.[350] God is the One who created[351] and is upholding space-time.[352] God calls creatures into space-time.[353] Creatures exist only in space-time.[354] But God is present in every moment[355] and every place[356] at the same time. God is upholding every moment and every place at the same time.[357] God is upholding space-time and all creatures in it at the same time.[358] God is upholding all the moments of space-time which has been changed and is being changed and will be changed by the free will of creatures at the same time.[359] God is the only 'True Existence' who alone rules existence and non-existence.[360]
Jer.23:23 Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God afar off?
Jer.23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.
† God is all in all. There is no domain over which God cannot rule.
Gen.17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be blameless.
Mark14:36 He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."
† God is omnipotent. All things are possible for God. No creature can dare to imagine what and how far God can do.[361] God did not give creatures such awareness.[362] Up to the limits set by God, angels and humans can conceive.[363]
1Cor.15:28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
† God who upholds infinity as ever-existing, creates space-time.[364] God gives free will to creatures that exist only in space-time.[365] The Second Person in the Trinity becomes a creature, gives up ownership of space-time[366], and inherits space-time as a creature.[367] The Son perfects the free will of creatures[368] through His cross.[369] The Son annihilates sin and death in space-time.[370] The Son perfects His inheritance through the cross.[371] The Son delivers the perfected space-time back to the Father. God the Father becomes all in all in space-time. The Son becomes God again and becomes equal to God the Father again. However, beyond space-time[372], the Second Person in the Trinity[373] upholds infinity as ever-existing.[374] Beyond space-time[375], the Second Person in the Trinity[376] is always[377] equal to the First Person in the Trinity.[378]
1Tim.1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
† God upholds infinity as ever-existing. God always exists. Creatures exist only in space-time.
Is.44:24 Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who stretches forth the heavens alone; who spreads abroad the earth (who is with me?);
Is.48:12 Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Is.48:13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
† God is the Beginning, the End, and All. All existence and non-existence is in God who is infinite.[379] A creature can exist only in God and not exist only in God.[380] But God is always present.[381] Space-time which God can call at any time and can annihilate at any time[382], has no meaning in itself.[383] Space-time is accounted by God as less than nothing and vanity.[384]
1John5:7 It is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
1John5:8 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree as one.
† Whether life or death, time or space, existence or non-existence, whether existence or a thing which could come into existence, whether non-existence or a thing which came into existence and then has disappeared, everything exists only in God and can exist only in God.[385] God who upholds infinity as ever-existing, is all in all.[386] God says there is no other God but God.[387] There is no God other than the First Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Trinity and the Third Person in the Trinity.
1John3:20 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Job11:7 "Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
Job11:8 They are high as heaven. What can you do? Deeper than Sheol: what can you know?
† God is greater than creatures's thoughts. The thoughts of creatures cannot be greater than God the Creator. God the Creator is the One who is upholding the thoughts of creatures.[388] Would God the Creator who makes creatures conjecture 'infinity', be less than that infinity![389]
† A creature can think only in time, and no matter how long it thinks, it cannot reach the end of infinity. Time flows even at the moment the creature guesses infinity, but God the Creator always fills that infinity.[390] Even at the end of infinity imagined by creatures, infinity still begins, but God the Creator is already there.[391] God the Creator who is simultaneously present in every moment and every place in space-time, always upholds infinity as ever-existing too.[392]
Is.44:6 Thus says Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.
† God is the Beginning and the End. To creatures that only exist in time, God expressed Himself as the Beginning and the End, but God is present at the same time in every moment. To God, the beginning is 'now' and the end is also 'now'.[393] Time too is just[394] a creature.[395] God transcends time.[396] It is God[397] who is upholding time.[398]
Heb.7:2 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace;
Heb.7:3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
† God has no beginning and no end. God alone upholds infinity as ever-existing.
Is.44:7 Who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and that shall happen, let them declare.
† God is not limited by time. God knows everything.[399]
Is.44:8 Don't fear, neither be afraid: haven't I declared to you of old, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don't know any Rock.
† God who knows everything, tells us that there is no other God. Existence as well as non-existence is in God. God is not only the God of existence, but also the God of non-existence. When God calls, non-existence becomes existence[400], and when God returns, existence becomes non-existence.[401] God can call space-time innumerable times at any time, and He can annihilate them immediately at any time. Space-time itself mean nothing to God.[402] Space-time is accounted by God as less than nothing and vanity.[403]
Heb.1:8 but of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
John1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
† The Son who is God, is always present. There has never been a time when the Second Person in the Trinity was not present. There will never be a time when the Second Person in the Trinity is not present. Space-time exists only in the Second Person in the Trinity.[404] Although space-time changes, the Second Person in the Trinity is always perfect.[405]
† The Son was forsaken on the cross and resurrected. The Spirit of the Son would have been accepted by God the Father.[406] It is assumed[407] that the Soul of the Son was cut off from God the Father[408] and accepted again.[409] In space-time the Son is a creature, but in ever-existing infinity the Son is God who upholds infinity as ever-existing. There can be no time when the Second Person in the Trinity is not present. If there could be a time when the Second Person in the Trinity was not present, creation could not even begin in the first place.[410]
† (There may be a view that the Son's Soul was cut off from God the Father and died into non-existence. The view is that the Son who had died into non-existence, Himself came into existence out of non-existence. The view is that by coming into existence of Himself, the Son proved Himself to be God the Creator. However, the Son was a fully human being.[411] The Son died as an adam and was resurrected as an adam.[412] It means that the resurrection of the Son does not prove that the Son is God the Creator.[413] We will be resurrected too.[414] Just because we are resurrected does not prove that we are God the Creator.[415] The Son was proved to be the Son of God[416] through His resurrection.[417] We also become God's adopted children through our resurrection or transformation.[418])
† God is the One who exists in Himself, that is, 'I will be what I will be'.[419] If God who upholds infinity as ever-existing, were not even present, He would be both present and not present. It means that He would be one who exists and does not exist at the same time. If so, space-time which is a creature, could not be said to be 'something that clearly exists'. When we that exist only in space-time, see it, there can be no existence that exists and does not exist at the same time. I don't know if such a state is possible for God, but it is not something that creatures can understand.
† What God really is, only God knows.[420] Only as much as God makes us know, we creatures can know.[421] Creatures exist only in space-time.[422] Even after their free will is perfected[423], creatures cannot escape from space-time. Even after thier free will is perfected[424], creatures cannot be present in the past, present, and future at the same time. Even if their free will is perfected, creatures cannot exist by themselves in the past which before they were created.[425] But God is self-existent. God tells us[426], God is the only One. God tells us that God is always present.[427] Therefore, God is the only One, the Ever-Present.[428]
† God is always present. God who is perfect, is unchanging.[429] God does not change from the One who is present, to the one who is not present.[430] If God who is present ceased to be present, then He would not be the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing. If God who is present ceased to be present, then He would not be the One who is ever-present in every moment at the same time. It is impossible to exist and not to exist at the same time. If God ceased to be present, then He would be the one who exists only in time, like creatures. But God is the Creator who created and is upholding time. Time, too, is just a creature.[431] God is present in every moment of the past, present and future at the same time.
† The First Person in the Trinity is the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing. The Second Person in the Trinity is the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing. If the Second Person in the Trinity were not the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing, the Second Person in the Trinity could not be equal to the First Person in the Trinity. However, the Second Person in the Trinity is equal to the First Person in the Trinity.[432]
† The Second Person in the Trinity is the One who is existing in the form of God.[433] The meaning of the Second Person in the Trinity to cease to be present, means that the One who is existing in the form of God ceases to be present. The meaning that the Second Person in the Trinity becomes no longer present, means that God becomes no longer present. The meaning that the First Person in the Trinity is still present even though the Second Person in the Trinity becomes no longer present, means that the Second Person in the Trinity is not equal to the First Person in the Trinity. The meaning that the First Person in the Trinity is still present even though the Second Person in the Trinity ceases to be present, means that the Second Person in the Trinity is not the One who is existing in the form of God. However, the Second Person in the Trinity is the One who is existing in the form of God and is equal to the First Person in the Trinity.[434]
† To creatures that exist only in space-time, God the Creator Himself reveals Himself.[435] The Second Person in the Trinity empties Himself, becomes a creature, and expresses Himself to creatures in person.[436] The creatures that could not see God[437], can now see God directly.[438] The creatures that could not know God[439], now come to know God.[440] The creatures that could not love God, now become able to love God.[441]
† Ever-existing infinity does not change. To change means to be in time. Creatures exist only in time. A creature cannot escape time. Because a creature cannot exist in itself. A creature cannot exist until it is called into existence. A creature cannot exist until it is created. Before being called, a creature cannot help but remain non-existent in the I AM who is present in Himself.[442]
† The I AM who is present in Himself, expresses Himself to creatures as 'a fire that consumes sin'.[443] A creature that tramples on its neighbors will be annihilated.[444] The I AM who is present in Himself, gives creatures free will.[445] Any creature that chooses to trample on its neighbors, will be annihilated.[446] In order for a creature to survive, it has no choice but to be changed into someone that does not trample on its neighbors.[447] The 'opportunity' to be changed from the one who tramples on its neighbors to the one who does not trample on its neighbors, is what a creature needs.[448] The 'time' in which judgment can be suspended even if it sins, is what a creature needs.[449] In the process of perfecting free will, sin and repentance occur repeatedly. If we die as soon as we sin, we will not even have a chance to repent. Imperfect free will can only be perfected in time.[450]
† The I AM who is present in Himself, does not condone evil trampling on neighbors.[451] God will burn to death all those that trample on their neighbors.[452] A creature can only turn from sin in the flow of time.[453] A creature can be changed only in the flow of time.[454] If a creature who is given free will commits a crime and does not have judgment suspended, the creature will not even have a chance to survive.[455] Judgment can be suspended only in time.[456] For the creature called by the I AM, time is the opportunity to survive.
† Free will is the possibility to sin. Even if there is only 1% chance of sin, someday it will 100% surely sin. If its free will is not perfected, a creature that is given free will will surely sin someday. A creature that has not yet committed a crime but that will commit a crime, is a criminal beyond time. If it can be beyond time, it must be annihilated. But a creature exists only in time.[457] Therefore, until its free will is perfected, it can live. Of course, even if its free will is perfected, it cannot escape time. Only the I AM who is present in Himself, can be ever-present in ever-existing infinity. Since a creature cannot exist in itself, it cannot be in ever-existing infinity.
† If the First Person in the Trinity made the Second Person in the Trinity to exist, who originally did not exist, then the Second Person in the Trinity would be a creature. If the Second Person in the Trinity were a creature, the cross would not prove God's love. This is because the value of God the Creator and the value of a creature, are different. Just because God creates an excellent creature for substitution and lays the iniquity on that creature and kills it instead, does not prove God's love.[458] The only way God proves His love to creatures, is by forsaking Himself.[459] The Son is God the Creator.[460] God the Son became a creature in order to be forsaken.
† If the Second Person in the Trinity were a creature, then the bible would be false and God would be a liar.[461] If the Second Person in the Trinity were a creature, then the crucifixion of the Second Person in the Trinity would not be humility. This is because a creature necessarily has to obey the commands of God the Creator. But the Son is God the Creator, equal to the First Person in the Trinity.[462]
† If the Second Person in the Trinity were a creature, the Second Person in the Trinity would only be present in space-time. For a creature cannot always be present in ever-existing infinity.[463] If the Second Person in the Trinity were a creature, the free will of the Second Person in the Trinity would also be needed a process of being perfected. Therefore, if the Second Person in the Trinity were a creature, then the Second Person in the Trinity would be the one who is present only in space-time. This is because the free will can be perfected only in space-time. This is because the imperfect free will can be changed into the perfect free will only in the flow of time. But the Son is God the Creator who upholds infinity as ever-existing.[464] Space-time exists in the Second Person in the Trinity.[465] Expressed in a level that we foolish creatures can understand, the Second Person in the Trinity is present before time.[466] The Second Person in the Trinity created and is upholding space-time[467], just as the First Person in the Trinity created and is upholding space-time.[468]
† If God the Son were a creature and if His free will had not been perfected[469], then God the Son would not have been able to take the cross.[470] If God the Son were a creature and if He were crucified without going through the process of perfecting free will, then God the Son would not have free will. However, God the Son took the cross with His own will.[471] God the Son does not have to go through the process of perfecting free will. For the free will of God the Son is already perfect[472], as is the free will of God the Father.[473]
† If God the Son were a creature created without free will, then God the Son would not be able to leave us an example. This is because angels and humans have been given free will. If God the Son were a creature created without free will, then God the Son would not be able to be superior to angels or humans. Because He would not be able to be connected with God the Father through love. But God the Father loves God the Son only[474], and He loves creatures only in God the Son.[475]
† If God the Son were a creature created without free will, the cross would not prove God's love and justice. Because God the Son would not be everything of God the Father. If so, the cross would not perfect the free will of creatures. Then the cross could not be the means to complete creation. However, God the Son is everything of God the Father[476], and God the Father is everything of God the Son.[477] God had already predetermined before the foundation of the world to perfect the free will of creatures through the cross.[478] God began creation only after He predetermined to complete creation through the cross.[479]
† Obedience is meaningful because there is a price to pay. It is because we can obey only when we give up the choice to disobey. If God the Son were a creature created without free will, God the Son would not have felt much resistance in obeying God the Father. If God the Son were a creature created without free will, God the Son would not have been sad to be cursed and to be forsaken by God the Father. If God the Son were a creature created without free will, the cross would not have been a pain for God the Son.
† God's love cannot be proved by a cross without pain. A cross without pain cannot prove the possibleness of observance of the commandments. The painless cross cannot convince creatures of the truthfulness of the commandments. However, the cross on which God the Father cut off God the Son, was a pain for God the Father. The cross on which God the Son was cut off from God the Father, was a pain for God the Son. Because this pain was so severe, God the Son prayed intensely to take the cross.[480] The cross was painful to God the Son[481], although God the Son would not avoid this pain.[482] The cross was painful to God the Father[483], although God the Father would not avoid this pain. God the Son and God the Father chose this pain by Themselves.[484]
† If God the Son were a creature created without free will, God the Father and God the Son cannot be one. If God the Son were a creature created to obey God the Father unconditionally, then God the Father and God the Son cannot be one.[485] Because it would be impossible to love one another.
† It is love that unites.[486] We cannot love each other without free will. Love can only be established when it is possible to give up each other's desire for each other.[487] Without free will, the very decision to keep or give up that desire would be impossible. Without free will, love itself would be impossible.[488]
† Love is giving up one's precious things for the sake of the other person. Love is bearing pain for the other person. Love is giving up one's sovereignty for the sake of the other person. The Second Person in the Trinity, equal to the First Person in the Trinity, predetermined to give up His sovereignty by becoming a creature. The Second Person in the Trinity, equal to the First Person in the Trinity, predetermined to lower Himself into a creature who must obey the First Person in the Trinity.[489] The Second Person in the Trinity, equal to the First Person in the Trinity, predetermined to become a creature and to be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity.[490] The First Person in the Trinity, equal to the Second Person in the Trinity, gave up His own sovereignty and accepted the determination of the Second Person in the Trinity. The First Person in the Trinity, equal to the Second Person in the Trinity, gave up His own sovereignty and predetermined to forsake the Second Person in the Trinity when He would become a creature. The First Person in the Trinity, equal to the Second Person in the Trinity, predetermined that He would suffer the pain of having to cut off the Second Person in the Trinity.[491]
† We cannot become one unless we mix the other's will with our own. If we don't accept each other's words, we can't become one. God the Father always hears the Son[492], and the Son always obeys God the Father.[493] (We confine our thoughts to space-time in which the Second Person in the Trinity expresses Himself as a creature. What kind of relationship between the First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity might be like before the Second Person in the Trinity empties Himself[494], is something that no creature can possibly dare to understand.[495] The Second Person in the Trinity becoming a creature, is expressed as humility.[496] A servant obeying his master's commands, is not called humility.[497]) The Son always obeys God the Father[498], and God the Father always hears the Son.[499]
† If God the Son were a creature created without free will, then God the Father would not be able to love the Son. If God the Father loved the Son even though God the Son were a creature created without free will, it only means that God the Father loves Himself giving commands to the Son. This is because even if the will of God the Father and the will of the Son are combined, only the will of God the Father remains.
† If God the Son were a creature created without free will, then only the will of God the Father exists. All the will of the Son must have been planned from the beginning by God the Father. 'They always have the same opinion because they love each other even though each person has free will[500]' and 'a state in which it is impossible to disagree in the first place because only one side has free will', have completely different meanings. 'The First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity always have the same opinion because They love each other[501]' and 'a state in which it is impossible for the Two to disagree in the first place because only the First Person in the Trinity has free will', have completely different meanings.
† If God the Son were a creature created without free will, then God the Father would only give orders to God the Son. Because the Son was created in such a state that He had no choice but to obey in the first place. If God the Son were a creature created without free will, then the Son would not be able to want anything from God the Father. Because there can be no want in a being without free will. But God the Son is the One who upholds infinity as ever-existing with God the Father. God the Son is the Second Person in the Trinity who has perfect free will like God the Father.[502]
† God is unchanging, for He is perfect. Ever-existing infinity that God is upholding, also does not change. Change occurs only in space-time. Only in space-time can something that did not exist come into existence, and can something that has been existed cease to exist.[503] Only in space-time can the imperfect become perfected. Creatures exist only in space-time. Only the existence who exists in himself, without needing to be created, can exist in ever-existing infinity.[504] Only the existence perfect in himself, without needing to be perfected, can exist in ever-existing infinity. The Second Person in the Trinity, like the First Person in the Trinity[505], is the True Existence who is self-perfect in Himself and self-existing in Himself.[506]
† If the Second Person in the Trinity were imperfect, He could not uphold infinity as ever-existing. If the free will of the Second Person in the Trinity had to be perfected, then the Second Person in the Trinity would exist only in space-time. This is because the perfection of free will itself is a change. But the free will of the Second Person in the Trinity is always perfect, just like the free will of the First Person in the Trinity.[507] The free will of the Second Person in the Trinity does not need to be perfected.[508]
John17:24 Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
† God the Father loves[509] only the Son.[510] The reason God the Father loves creatures, is that He created them for the Son.[511] God the Father who loves only the Son, loves only those creatures that obey the Son.[512]
† The Son is the Firstborn of all creatures. The Son is God the Creator, not a creature.[513] The Son is God the Creator, not a king of creatures.[514] But since the Second Person in the Trinity emptied Himself and became a creature[515], the Son is the Firstborn of all creatures and the King over creatures. The firstborn is the final goal of creatures, that is, the prototype. The Second Person in the Trinity came as the Firstborn of all creatures[516] in order for creatures to resemble the Firstborn, the image of God.[517]
Heb.1:6 Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
† The word 'firstborn' is 'prototokos'.[518] Creatures are things that did not exist[519], but the Second Person in the Trinity is always present.[520] Creatures exist only in 'time'[521], but the Second Person in the Trinity is the One who is upholding even that 'time'.[522]
† The Second Person in the Trinity came as the Last Adam near the end of 4000 years after the 1st Adam.[523] Even before the Son came[524], there were saints who imitate the image of the Son to come.[525] However, there were not many[526] because it was before the atonement through the cross has actually taken place.[527] Because it was before God the Holy Spirit has come into the flesh.[528]
† God the Holy Spirit comes[529] upon the blood of atonement shed by the Firstborn Son.[530] Those who have God the Holy Spirit in their flesh[531], imitate the image of the Firstborn Son.[532] The Spirit of Yahweh came upon the blood of the beast[533] which was a shadow of the Firstborn.[534] In the blood of the Firstborn Son[535] who is the substance of the shadow[536], God the Holy Spirit comes.[537]
† The new covenant is made with the blood of the Firstborn.[538] When the new covenant is made, God the Holy Spirit comes.[539] When God the Holy Spirit comes upon us[540], we become the image of God.[541] The image of God is a child of God.[542] Through the resurrection or transformation that overcomes death, we are finally marked out to be God's adoptees.[543] When the appointed number of the images of God is completed[544], the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[545] When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved[546], the free will of creatures is perfected.[547] When the free will of creatures is perfected[548], rest is fulfilled.[549] When rest is fulfilled[550], sin and death are annihilated in space-time.[551] When sin and death are annihilated in space-time[552], creation is completed.[553]
† Without the Firstborn Son, all attempts at sonship are meaningless.[554] Humans can be adopted only through the Firstborn Son.[555] Only those who follow the way of the cross which the Firstborn went[556], become children after the Firstborn Son.[557]
† A father's inheritance is passed on to his firstborn son.[558] The promise received by the father[559] is inherited by his firstborn son.[560] A father's name[561] is inherited only by his firstborn son.[562] Since the firstborn son inherits the father's share, the inheritance of the firstborn son is doubled.[563] The name of God the Father[564] was inherited by His Firstborn Son.[565] Because the Firstborn Son is with the adopted children through God the Holy Spirit[566], the name of the Firstborn Son remains on the adopted children as well.[567] The authority of the name inherited by the Firstborn Son[568], is given to the adopted children through God the Holy Spirit.[569] However, although the Firstborn Son inherited all the authority of the entire creation world[570], yet the adopted children can exercise authority[571] only in the 1st earth or new earth.[572]
† Those who take up the cross[573] following the Firstborn[574] and go the way of destroying sin, are the adopted children.[575] The Father's inheritance is inherited by the Firstborn Son, but the inheritance inherited by the Firstborn Son is divided among the adopted children through God the Holy Spirit.[576] The adopted children[577] become like the Firstborn.[578] Therefore, the true Firstborn is only the LORD Jesus[579], but there are times when the adopted children are also called firstborn in the LORD Jesus.[580] There are times when an adopted child who resembles the Firstborn[581], is called a firstborn.[582] There are times when subsequent firstfruits[583], resembling the first Firstfruits[584], are called firstfruits.[585] There are times when a saint who resembles the image of Christ[586], is called a son of God.[587]
† A father's inheritance is passed on to his firstborn son.[588] The throne of God the Father is inherited by His Firstborn Son. The dominion of God the Father is inherited by His Firstborn Son. The creation world of God the Father is inherited by His Firstborn Son. The promise of God the Father[589] is inherited by His Firstborn Son.[590] Only the Firstborn Son is the Heir.[591] But in the Firstborn, the inheritance is passed on to the adopted children.[592] In the Firstborn, the adopted children also inherit the throne.[593] In the Firstborn, the adopted children also inherit the dominion.[594] In the Firstborn, the adopted children also inherit the new earth.[595] In the Firstborn[596], the adopted children also inherit the promise.[597] This is because the Father's name which the Firstborn Son inherited[598], remains with the adopted children through God the Holy Spirit.[599]
† If the Second Person in the Trinity would not have predetermined to come as a creature, He would not have recorded in the bible that the Second Person in the Trinity is the Firstborn of all creatures. However, since the Second Person in the Trinity[600] would empty[601] Himself[602] and[603] come[604] as a creature[605], He recorded in the bible that the Second Person in the Trinity is the Firstborn of all creatures.[606]
† All creatures exist only in space-time.[607] Space-time exist only in the First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity.[608] (Space-time exist only in[609] the First Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Third Person in the Trinity.[610]) The First Person in the Trinity is upholding space-time[611], and the Second Person in the Trinity is upholding space-time.[612] Existence or non-existence, only in God.[613] When God calls, non-existence becomes existence[614], and when God returns, existence becomes non-existence.[615] Whatever exists, can exist only in God. Whatever does not exist, can remain non-existent only in God.[616] God is the God of existence, but He is also the God of non-existence.[617] God is all in all.[618] God upholds infinity as ever-existing.[619]
† After the Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to complete creation by becoming a creature, He began creation. After God predetermined to make creatures resemble the Son who would become a creature, He began to create.[620] After God had purposed to make creatures resemble the Son who does not sin, He began to create. Before He began to create, the Second Person in the Trinity already predetermined to become a creature.[621] Therefore, the Second Person in the Trinity who became a creature, is expressed as the Firstborn of all creatures.
† The Second Person in the Trinity became a creature[622] and showed the finished state of creatures.[623] The Second Person in the Trinity became a creature, becoming the prototype of creatures.[624] The Second Person in the Trinity became a creature, becoming the Firstborn of all creatures.[625] Creatures obey the commandments of love, following the Firstborn Son.[626] Creatures love God and love their neighbors like the Firstborn.[627] Following the example of the Firstborn, creatures also do not sin.[628] Creatures are perfected in the image of the Son[629], that is, the image of God.[630]
Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him.
† Space-time was created by the Second Person in the Trinity. Space-time was created through the Second Person in the Trinity. Space-time was created for the Second Person in the Trinity. The Second Person in the Trinity is upholding space-time.[631] The Second Person in the Trinity is equal to the First Person in the Trinity.[632] The Second Person in the Trinity upholds infinity as ever-existing with the First Person in the Trinity.[633]
† [We think with the mind of a creature that exists only in space-time.] The Second Person in the Trinity empties Himself and becomes a creature to inherit space-time from the First Person in the Trinity.[634] The Second Person in the Trinity rules with love.[635] The Second Person in the Trinity will burn all scum that do not obey the commandments of love in the lake of fire.[636]
Col.1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
† The Second Person in the Trinity is present in every moment and every place at the same time.[637] There is no time when the Second Person in the Trinity does not exist. However, if explained at the level of we creatures, the Second Person in the Trinity exists before space-time.[638] Space-time exists only in the Second Person in the Trinity.
Heb.1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
† The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become a creature by emptying Himself.[639] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become the Heir of space-time by emptying Himself. The First Person in the Trinity predetermined to establish the Second Person in the Trinity who would become a creature, as the Heir of space-time. Space-time was created through the Second Person in the Trinity.
Heb.1:8 but of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
† The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become the King of creatures by becoming a creature.[640] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become the King of creatures to rule space-time with love.[641] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to perfect the free will of creatures through the cross.[642] The First Person in the Trinity makes creatures know that the Son is God the Creator.[643]
② God predetermined to complete creation through inheritance.
We think of it with the thought of a creature that exists only in space-time.
1
The First Person in the Trinity and the Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to create space-time. (The First Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Third Person in the Trinity predetermined to create space-time.[644]) God predetermined to command to keep the commandments of love to creatures.[645] God predetermined to kill all who disobey God and trample on their neighbors.[646] God predetermined to place a throne in space-time to give orders to creatures through the name He would put on the throne.[647]
God predetermined to give free will to creatures.[648] Free will is the possibility to sin.[649] If God gives free will to creatures while commanding them to love, then creatures will try to love only when they know the reason to love.[650] In other words, if creatures did not know why they should love[651], they would sin. Creatures come to die.[652] Therefore, God predetermined to make creatures know the reason why they should love.[653] A creature given free will must first understand God's love and justice in order to love God.[654] Only when they realize God's love can creatures love God. Only when they love God can creatures keep the commandments.[655] Only when they realize God's love can creatures love their neighbors. God predetermined to prove His love and justice to creatures through the cross.[656]
God knew that the angels would fall.[657] In the method of redeeming adam, God predetermined to prove His love and justice to creatures.[658] God predetermined to create adam. God knew that adam would sin. (If the 1st Adam would not have sinned, God would have predetermined to perfect the free will of creatures by means other than atonement.[659] Or[660] God would have placed another person who would sin as the 1st Adam.[661]) The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity on the cross in place of adam who sinned.[662] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to be forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity by becoming an adam.[663]
A creature that must keep the commandments of love, must know that the commandments of love are what creatures can keep.[664] God the Son predetermined to prove the truthfulness of the commandments through the cross.[665] To adam who sinned, God the Son predetermined to set an example of overcoming death through the cross.[666] Only those who keep the commandments, can overcome death and be resurrected.[667] Adam[668] can keep the commandments only through God the Holy Spirit.[669] God the Holy Spirit comes into the blood of the Son shed on adam who sinned.[670] God the Son predetermined to shed His blood on adam on the cross.[671] Adam who has received God the Holy Spirit, proves the truthfulness of the commandments[672] by keeping[673] the commandments[674] following the Son.[675]
A creature who must keep the commandments, must know that the one who commands them is the one who keeps them.[676] Only the one who keeps the commandments of love, can command to keep the commandments of love.[677] Someone who does not keep the commandments, cannot command to keep them.[678] If a person who does not keep the commandments, commands to keep the commandments, a creature with free will would regard the command as absurd.[679] God predetermined to convince creatures that He is worthy to command to keep the commandments.[680] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to express Himself to creatures in person.[681] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become a creature and approach creatures.[682] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to show creatures that He Himself keeps the commandments in person.[683] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to show creatures that He Himself takes the cross in person.[684]
Until He perfects the free will of creatures[685], the Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to rule space-time as a creature.[686] Until He annihilates sin in space-time[687], the Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to rule space-time as a creature.[688] Since God gives orders to creatures through the name[689] He has placed on the throne[690], the dominion to rule space-time is in the 'name' of God placed on the throne.[691]
Space-time also belongs to the Second Person in the Trinity, God the Creator. However, the Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to give up the ownership of space-time and inherit that ownership as a creature. The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to give up the ownership of space-time and inherit the name from the First Person in the Trinity.[692] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to empty Himself and become a creature to inherit the name from the First Person in the Trinity.[693] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become a creature and inherit the name of God[694] through the cross.[695] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to inherit the dominion of space-time in the understanding of creatures.[696]
God the Son inherits space-time through the cross. God the Son perfects the free will of creatures through the cross.[697] God the Son annihilates sin and death in space-time through the cross.[698] God the Son completes space-time through the process of inheriting space-time.[699]
Through the cross, creatures return each of their free will to God.[700] Through the cross, creatures come to love God and their neighbors.[701] Through the cross, creatures become like God.[702] Through the cross, creatures come to live forever.[703]
2
God is love.[704] God does not want to force creatures to obey Him.[705] So, God gave creatures free will.[706] A creature can choose to obey God[707], or it can choose to disobey God.[708]
A creature without free will is imperfect. It is because it cannot be connected with God through love.[709] Even if it is given free will, a creature that chooses its own desire is imperfect.[710] It is because it is apart from the purpose that God has made it for.[711] Even if it is given free will, if it chooses its own lust[712], it still has nothing to do with God.[713] It is still lifeless.[714]
Love is life.[715] Without love[716] there is no life.[717] Only God is love.[718] Life belongs only to God.[719] A creature without God's love has no life.[720] Therefore, it is love that perfects a creature.[721] Free will is a vessel that can contain that love.[722] When love is contained in free will[723], the creature is perfected.[724] It becomes the image of God.[725]
The Second Person in the Trinity[726] upholds infinity as ever-existing with the First Person in the Trinity[727], and is present in every moment[728] and in every place[729] at the same time.[730] (The First Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Third Person in the Trinity uphold infinity as ever-existing[731] and are present in every place[732] in every moment[733] at the same time.[734]) But we cannot understand[735] what that means.[736] We exist[737] only[738] in space-time.[739] Even after creation is completed[740], a creature cannot exist before it was created.[741] Whether angels or humans[742], creatures exist only in space-time.[743]
John5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
John5:27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
† The Father loves the Son. All creatures exist only for the sake of the Son.[744] The Father loves the Son and only through the Son gives creatures life in the Father.[745] Love is the reason[746] why God made creatures in the Son[747], upholds the life of creatures only in the Son[748], and upholds creatures only in the Son. Creatures exist only in the Father's love for the Son. To reject the Son is to reject the Father's love. If we reject the Son, we are cut off from the Father's love.[749] To be cut off from love is to be cut off from life. If we are cut off from life, we are thrown into judgment. The Son came as a human and became the basis for judgment.[750] The creature that receives the Son lives, and the creature that rejects the Son dies.
† God speaks His will to creatures. A creature that chooses to receive God's word will come to know God's love more deeply.[751] But any creature that chooses to reject the word will be forsaken.[752] The love God reveals through the cross, is for the creatures that choose to receive it. The love of the cross is not for criminals who choose to trample on it.[753] Criminals who rebel against God and decide to trample on their neighbors, do not accept the love of the cross just because they see it.[754] The love of the cross is for those who accept it. The love of the cross is not for criminals who use that love to trample their neighbors without fear of punishment.[755] The cross is the evidence of salvation for those who love God and keep the commandments[756], and the evidence of judgment for those who love sin and disobey the commandments.[757]
Eph.1:4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;
Eph.1:5 having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
† Before the foundation of the world, God already knew us.[758] Before the foundation of the world, God already chose us. If we were to reject God, God would not have chosen us. God respects the free will which God Himself has given to creatures. God does not force creatures to submit to Him. To be chosen in Christ, means that only those who will obey Christ had been chosen. God predestinates and adopts only those creatures that will submit to Christ.
Gen.2:16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:
Gen.2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
† The first word given to Adam, was that he would die if he ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But Adam did not fully accept the word. Adam did not accept the word of God to the point of giving up on Eve. Adam loved his wife so much that he could not give up on her. In the end, Adam abandoned the word of God.
† God respects the free will given to creatures. God never forbids a creature from sinning. God never forces a creature to necessarily sin. God allows each creature to choose whether or not to sin. And the result, too, will have to be borne by each creature.
† If Adam had chosen to obey God, God would have made him realize God's love more deeply.[759] It would have been harder for Adam to sin[760], and his free will would have been perfected eventually. If Adam would not have sinned[761], God would have predetermined creation in such a way that adam could be perfected without suffering.[762] (Or, instead of Adam who would not sin, another person who would sin would have been put in the place of the 1st Adam.[763] Or, God would have predetermined to prove God's love and justice in a way other than the atonement of the cross.[764] Anyway, the Second Person in the Trinity came as the Last Adam to redeem the 1st Adam who sinned.[765]) But Adam loved Eve more than God. Adam came to face the consequences of the choice he made.
Ezek.28:17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
† God allowed Helel to choose for himself whether to love or disobey God. God did not force Helel's free will. God did not force Helel to fall. Helel was so focused on his own beauty and wisdom that he did not see the beauty and wisdom of God.[766] However, God did not interfere with the free will that He had given to Helel.
† God never prevented Helel from falling. Since God is love, He must have warned Helel.[767] But God would not have forced Helel either, because He is love. God respected Helel's free choice, and Helel eventually fell.[768]
† If Helel had loved God more than himself, his path would have been easier.[769] Like the unfallen angels, Helel's free will could have been painlessly perfected.[770] If Helel had chosen[771] to obey God[772], God would have shown him the beauty[773] and wisdom of God.[774] But Helel chose his own lust.[775]
Matt.5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
† God does not let those who do not want to know God, know Him.[776] Whether we submit to God and know God's will[777], or disobey God and know the sweetness of sin[778], each is our own free choice. God allows each of us to receive the results of our own choices.[779]
Matt.13:11 He answered them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
Matt.13:12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn't have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
† God chooses those who choose God.[780] God guarantees by His word that choosing Him will never make us unhappy.[781] The more we obey and submit to God[782], the more God manifests and reveals Himself to us.[783] God further confirms that our choice was right.[784]
† Those who rebel against God, will eventually come to know God.[785] Criminals will eventually find out that their own lust was the wrong choice.[786] But they will come to know the reason without avoiding the consequences of their evil deeds.[787] They, too, will come to know that God's word is true. However, their free will defies God.[788] They cannot live forever.[789] As each person pays for their sins, they will be annihilated.[790] Punishment cannot perfect free will.[791] Free will is perfected only through love.[792]
Rom.1:17 For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."
† God does not violate the free will He has given to creatures. God speaks to creatures only within the bounds of not violating their free will. And creatures will come to know why only within the consequences of each choice.[793] Those who choose obedience will come to know God in the fruits of obedience.[794] Those who choose rebellion will come to know God in their evil deeds.[795] Those who see God in their evil deeds[796], will come to realize the extreme fear[797] of annihilating existence itself.[798]
† God speaks and fulfills it.[799] Creatures must listen to God and decide their own attitude.[800] Those who believe will obey and those who do not believe will disobey.[801] When God judges[802], creatures will prove their faith[803] by their own works.[804]
Gen.2:16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:
Gen.2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
† God rules the creation world with the commandments of love.[805] God tells us the consequences of keeping and breaking the commandments, and allows each of creatures to choose. Those who love God will keep the commandments.[806] Those who seek to satisfy their own lust, will break the commandments.[807]
Gen.3:22 Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."
† He/She who tramples on his/her neighbors, must die.[808] If those who trample live forever, those who are trampled will suffer forever. Satan must die. If Satan lives forever, the creatures trampled by Satan will suffer forever. Whoever eats the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, must die. If Adam who ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, lived forever, then Satan would also have to live forever.[809] If Adam who sinned, eats the fruit of the tree of life and lives forever, then Satan who sinned, must also eat the fruit of the tree of life and live forever.
† If a criminal escapes judgment, the creation world will fall under the rule of the law of the jungle.[810] The commandments to love one's neighbors will be destroyed.[811] The creation world will become lawless. Creatures will suffer extremely. God did not create the creation world to make hell.[812] Criminals cannot live forever.
Rev.20:3 and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years were finished. After this, he must be freed for a short time.
† A criminal must die. All criminals who trample on the commandments of love, will die.
Rev.20:10 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
† God will burn all criminals to death. Criminals who trample on their neighbors, will never die in peace.[813] Criminals will each pay the full price for the sins they have committed.[814] There is no eternal life after paying the wages of sin.[815] This is because free will cannot be perfected through punishment.[816] Criminals will surely die.[817] If we do not forsake our sins, we will be burned with them.[818] In the end, even death, the wages of sin, will be burned.[819] Death itself is annihilated. Only the creatures that submit to the LORD Jesus will live forever.[820]
Rev.21:8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
† Creatures that trample on neighbors, will cease to exist.[821] When sin itself is annihilated, creation will be completed.[822] Rest will be fulfilled.[823]
Rev.21:27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
† Only those creatures that obey the commandments of love, will survive. Creatures that trample on their neighbors, will be burned in the lake of fire. The truthfulness of the commandments will be proved. Punishment will be executed on the basis of the commandments.[824] Criminals who break the commandments will be burned as much as the sin of breaking the commandments.[825] Creatures will understand the justice of God.[826]
John17:2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him, he will give eternal life.
† The Son rules by the commandments of love. Only those creatures that obey the Son[827], will live forever.[828] The Son is the eternal life of creatures.[829]
③ The Son predetermined to deliver the inherited inheritance to the Father.
1Cor.3:23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
† Creatures belong to the Father in the Son.[830] Space-time was created for the Son and exists only in the Son.[831] Creatures that disobey the Son, are burned.[832]
1.
1Cor.15:28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
† The Second Person in the Trinity gives up ownership of space-time[833] by becoming a creature.[834] The Second Person in the Trinity who became a creature, inherits space-time[835] from the First Person in the Trinity.[836] The Son who became the King of creatures, annihilates sin in space-time[837] through His cross.[838] It is to perfect space-time.[839] The Son rules space-time with the commandments of love.[840] When all creatures submit to the Son, space-time is perfected.[841] When space-time is perfected, the Son delivers the perfected space-time to God the Father.
After that, the Son will become God again and become equal to God the Father. (We think with the thoughts of a creature that exists only in space-time. The Second Person in the Trinity[842] upholds infinity[843] as ever-existing[844] with the First Person in the Trinity. The Second Person in the Trinity[845] exists[846] in every moment[847] and every place[848] at the same time.[849] But in space-time[850], the Second Person in the Trinity[851] is[852] presenting[853] Himself[854] as a creature.[855] A creature cannot understand[856] what that means.[857] We creatures exist only in the flow of time.[858])
[1] Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
[2] Col.1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love; in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins;
[3] Eph.1:5 having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire, to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved,
[4] Gen.22:1 It happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" He said, "Here I am." He said, "Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of."
[5] 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. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
[6] John5:30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
[7] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
[8] Is.40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing. Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the animals of it sufficient for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
[9] Job35:6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him? If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand? Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; And your righteousness may profit a son of man.
[10] Is.43:1 But now thus says Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: Don't be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are mine.
[11] Heb.1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
[12] Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.
[13] Heb.9:22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission. It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
[14] Is.40:21 Have you not known? have yet not heard? has it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? [It is] he who sits above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants of it are as grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in; who brings princes to nothing; who makes the judges of the earth as vanity.
[15] Eph.1:20 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
[16] John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
[17] 1John3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.
[18] John15:9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
[19] Luke20:13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.' "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.' They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
[20] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
[21] 1Cor.15:28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
[22] Eph.1:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
[23] John5:22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.
[24] Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
[25] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
[26] Eph.1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him; in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will; to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
[27] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
[28] Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.
[29] John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
[30] 1John3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn't love his brother remains in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
[31] Ezek.18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yahweh: therefore turn yourselves, and live.
[32] Ps.2:12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him. A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
[33] Is.22:12 In that day did the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: and behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die. Yahweh of Hosts revealed himself in my ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you until you die, says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts.
[34] 1John5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
[35] Rev.16:5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way. For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this." I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments."
[36] Rev.19:2 for true and righteous are his judgments. For he has judged the great prostitute, her who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand." A second said, "Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever."
[37] Rom.5:8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[38] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
[39] John14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
[40] 1John3:16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
[41] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[42] 1John4:19 We love Him, because he first loved us. If a man says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn't love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
[43] Rev.21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."
[44] Ps.89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Lovingkindness and truth go before your face.

[46] Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[47] John11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet will he live. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
[48] 1Cor.15:28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
[49] John16:12 "I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now. However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever things he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you the things that are coming.

[51] Eph.3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;
[52] Rev.22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
[53] Ps.90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever you had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men." For a thousand years in your sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, As a watch in the night.
[54] Jer.23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yahweh. Don't I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh.
[55] Rom.4:17 As it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
[56] Is.40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing. Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the animals of it sufficient for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
[57] Ps.139:7 Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!
[58] Job11:7 "Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are high as heaven. What can you do? Deeper than Sheol: what can you know?
[59] Is.40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their host by number; he calls them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.
[60] Job20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, The joy of the godless but for a moment? Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach to the clouds, Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung, Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?' He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night. The eye which saw him shall see him no more, Neither shall his place any more see him.
[61] Ps.73:17 Until I entered God's sanctuary, And considered their latter end. Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction. How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors. As a dream when one wakes up, So, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
[62] Is.43:21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
[63] Col.1:15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
[64] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
[65] John1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.
[66] Heb.2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For most assuredly, not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.
[67] Ruth3:12 Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is a kinsman nearer than I.
[68] Is.53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
[69] Heb.9:20 saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded toward you." Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in like manner with the blood. According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission. It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
[70] Rev.6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
[71] Lev.17:11 For the life(nehfesh:soul) of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life(nehfesh:soul).
[72] Jer.4:14 Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
[73] Gal.3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"
[74] Matt.10:28 Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
[75] Matt.27:46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
[76] Eph.2:1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
[77] Mark16:17 These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages; they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
[78] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
[79] 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. Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
[80] Luke20:35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. For neither can they die any more, for they are like the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
[81] 1Cor.15:44 It is sown a natural(psookheekos:soulish) body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
[82] 1Cor.15:47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let's also bear the image of the heavenly.
[83] Is.65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says Yahweh.

[85] Is.53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
[86] Rom.7:23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
[87] Heb.4:15 For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
[88] Heb.2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
[89] John8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad." The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
[90] 1Cor.6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
[91] Rev.5:9 They sang a new song, saying, "You are worthy to take the book, And to open its seals: For you were killed, And bought us for God with your blood, Out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
[92] Rom.8:10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
[93] Rom.8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
[94] John11:23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet will he live. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
[95] Rom.5:8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[96] 1John3:1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.
[97] Ex.34:7 keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, on the third and on the fourth generation."
[98] 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: 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. There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
[99] 1John4:9 By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

[101] Luke13:33 Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can't be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.'
[102] Luke22:52 Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn't stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
[103] 1Pet.2:24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
Deut.21:22 If a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree; his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God; that you don't defile your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.
[104] Luke13:4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem? I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."
[105] John10:17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."
[106] John13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.
[107] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
[108] Ps.49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give God a ransom for him. For the redemption of their life is costly, No payment is ever enough,
[109] 1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --
[110] Col.1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross. Through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.
[111] Rev.22:3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him.
[112] Rev.21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away. He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."
[113] Lev.16:19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. "When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

[114] Ezek.18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yahweh: therefore turn yourselves, and live.

[117] Rom.9:11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls, it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger." Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
[118] 1Cor.15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
[119] Gal.2:16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
[120] Rom.3:27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn't he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

[129] Gen.20:4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? Didn't he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself said, 'He is my brother.'

[131] Rom.9:17 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.

[133] Is.14:12 How you are fallen from heaven, day-star, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low!

[134] Prov.16:4 Yahweh has made everything for its own end -- Yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
[135] Rom.9:19 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?" Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
[136] 1Cor.7:16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
[137] 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; but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

[144] Acts19:13 But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."

[150] Rom.7:22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man, but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
[151] 1Pet.2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps, who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."

[163] Deut.30:11 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither is it far off.

[178] Ps.17:14 From men by your hand, Yahweh, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones.

[180] 1Cor.15:27 For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet." But when he says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

Your sons have plenty, And they store up wealth for their children. As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form. For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said,
[238] Job20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, The joy of the godless but for a moment? Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach to the clouds, Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung, Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?' He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.
[239] Is.40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing. Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the animals of it sufficient for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.
[240] Acts17:28 'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'
[241] Ps.49:14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, Far from their mansion. But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, For he will receive me. Selah.
[242] Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
[243] Titus1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before eternal times;
[244] John7:28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.
[245] 1Tim.6:15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.
[246] Titus1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before eternal times;
[247] Rev.22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright and Morning Star."
[248] Is.40:25 To whom then will you liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their host by number; he calls them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.
[249] Ps.19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. Day after day they pour forth speech, And night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard. Their voice has gone out through all the earth, Their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
[250] Ps.33:9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
[251] Is.28:15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
[252] Ps.90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever you had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children of men." For a thousand years in your sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, As a watch in the night.
[253] Col.1:16 For by him were all things created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
[254] Is.44:6 Thus says Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God. Who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and that shall happen, let them declare. Don't fear, neither be afraid: haven't I declared to you of old, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don't know any Rock.
[255] Heb.1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
[256] Eph.1:23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
[257] 1Cor.8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
[258] Rom.8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[259] Heb.13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Rev.22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

[264] 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;
[265] 2Chr.2:6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?
[266] Rev.12:12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."
[267] Jer.1:5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.
[268] Eccles.8:7 For he doesn't know that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be? There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practices it.
[269] Eph.1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
[270] 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. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for [many] days:
[271] Eph.3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord;
[272] Rom.11:33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" "Or who has first given to him, And it will be repaid to him again?" For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
[273] Ex.4:11 Yahweh said to him, "Who made man's mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn't it I, Yahweh?
[274] Is.48:12 Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.

[277] Gen.13:9 Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
[278] Job34:14 If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath; All flesh would perish together, And man would turn again to dust.
[279] Is.29:8 It shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against Mount Zion.

[282] 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. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
[283] Eph.3:3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words, by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
[284] Ps.139:16 Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there were none of them.

[289] 2Thess.2:9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
[290] Rom.1:28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers, backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

I will gird you, though you have not known me; that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Yahweh, who does all these things. Distil, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up together; I, Yahweh, have created it.
[293] 1John5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
[294] John17:17 Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.
[295] Rom.13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[296] 1John4:6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
[297] John16:12 "I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now. However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever things he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you the things that are coming.

[300] 1Pet.1:22 Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently: having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

[304] Rom.3:4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, "That you might be justified in your words, And might prevail when you come into judgment." But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
[305] 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.
[306] 1John4:6 We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn't listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
[307] James1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
[308] Rom.13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[309] 1John2:7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
John13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

[311] John14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
[312] 1John4:9 By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
[313] John8:12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
[314] 1John3:23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.
[315] Eph.1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
[316] 1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
[317] Luke12:4 "I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom you shall fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
[318] Is.29:7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night. It shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against Mount Zion.
[319] Mic.7:2 The godly man has perished out of the earth, And there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; Every man hunts his brother with a net. Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; And the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together. The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, Even your visitation, has come; Now is the time of their confusion.
[320] 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; for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
[321] 1John4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
[322] Prov.1:10 My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent. If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood; Let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; Let's swallow them up alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down into the pit. We'll find all valuable wealth. We'll fill our houses with spoil. You shall cast your lot among us. We'll all have one purse."
[323] Ezek.18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yahweh: therefore turn yourselves, and live.
[324] John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
[325] Ps.73:17 Until I entered God's sanctuary, And considered their latter end. Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction. How they are suddenly destroyed!

[328] Is.40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing.

[329] 2Chr.2:6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?
[330] 1Chr.29:11 Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heavens and in the earth [is your]; your is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come of you, and you rule over all; and in your hand is power and might; and in your hand it is to make great, and to give strength to all.

Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright and Morning Star."

[341] Ex.3:13 Moses said to God, "Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you;' and they ask me, 'What is his name?'

[417] Acts13:33 that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your father.' "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.' Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.' For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw decay. But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

[432] Heb.1:10 And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands. They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does. As a mantle you will roll them up, And they will be changed; But you are the same. Your years will not fail." But of which of the angels has he said at any time, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

[440] John14:8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'
[441] 1John4:9 By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
[442] Is.40:25 To whom then will you liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? says the Holy One.

[448] Rom.9:22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,
[449] 1Pet.3:20 who before were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ark was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
[450] 2Pet.3:14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without blemish and blameless in his sight. Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you;

[454] 1Tim.1:15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
[462] Phil.2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

[469] Deut.31:20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant. It shall happen, when many evils and troubles are come on them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.
[470] Ex.12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
[471] Heb.12:2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

They all will grow old like a garment does. As a mantle you will roll them up, And they will be changed; But you are the same. Your years will not fail."

[475] John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
[476] Gen.22:6 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. He took in his hand the fire and the knife. They both went together.

[477] John8:28 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things. He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

[480] Luke22:42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

[484] John10:17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

[487] Eph.5:21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ.
[488] Jude1:10 But these speak evil of whatever things they don't know. What they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed.
[489] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
[490] John10:17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."
[491] Heb.1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
[492] John11:41 So they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me. I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
[493] John5:30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don't seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
[494] John5:18 For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Afterward you shall eat and drink?' Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

[499] Matt.26:53 Or do you think that I can't ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"

[502] Luke22:15 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
[503] Eccles.1:10 Is there a thing of which it may be said, "Behold, this is new?" It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us. There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, among those that shall come after.

Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

[518] Col.1:15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

They went around in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
[532] Gal.4:19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you--

[535] Heb.9:22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.
[538] Heb.8:6 But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

[539] Heb.8:10 "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart.

[541] 2Cor.4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
[542] Rom.8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us. For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

[544] Rev.6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" A long white robe was given them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, completed their course.
[545] 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
[546] Job1:9 Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side?

[547] Rev.11:15 The seventh angel sounded, and great voices in heaven followed, saying, "The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ.

The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your servants the prophets, their reward, as well as the saints, and those who fear your name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth."
[548] Rev.16:5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way.

I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments."

He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."
[551] 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. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
[552] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
[553] 1Cor.15:28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

[557] Rom.8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

[560] Rom.9:7 Neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your seed be called." That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.

[565] John10:24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

[582] Num.3:12 "Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine: for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am Yahweh."
[583] Rom.8:23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
[584] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
[585] Rev.14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth. These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
[586] Matt.5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.

[588] Gal.4:28 Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. However what does the Scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman."
[589] 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."
[590] Gal.3:16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He doesn't say, "To seeds," as of many, but as of one, "To your seed," which is Christ.
[591] Luke20:13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.' "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.' They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

[616] Is.40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing.

[628] Rom.13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not give false testimony," "You shall not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

[652] 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. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
[653] 1John4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

[658] Acts3:20 and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before, whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from ancient times.
[659] 1Cor.2:7 But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds to our glory, which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.

[661] Rom.9:17 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.

[665] Luke22:42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
[666] 1Pet.2:21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps, who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."

[667] 1Cor.15:54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
[668] Rom.7:22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man, but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

[672] Rev.6:9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" A long white robe was given them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, completed their course.
[673] Heb.11:35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

They went around in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated
[674] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
[675] Matt.16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any man desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
[676] Luke23:34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
[677] Rom.2:21 You therefore who teach another, don't you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn't steal, do you steal? You who say a man shouldn't commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who glory in the law, through your disobedience of the law do you dishonor God? For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," just as it is written.
[678] Acts19:13 But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches." There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. The evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?"
[679] Rom.3:5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do. May it never be! For then how will God judge the world? For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Those who say so are justly condemned.
[680] Heb.4:15 For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
[681] 1John1:1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
[682] John14:8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, 'Show us the Father?'
[683] Heb.5:7 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
[684] John10:17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."
[685] 1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --
[686] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
[687] Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
[688] John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
[689] Ex.34:5 Yahweh descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Yahweh. Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth,
[690] Ex.25:20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you. There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, all that I command you for the children of Israel.
[691] Ezra6:12 and the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put forth their hand to alter [the same], to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.
[692] Luke20:13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.' "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.' They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
[693] Phil.2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
[694] Matt.28:18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

[699] Rev.21:4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.

[700] Rev.16:5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way.

I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments."
[701] 1Pet.1:22 Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently: having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

[710] 1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
[711] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[712] James1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

[713] 2Thess.2:9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
[714] Eph.4:18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts;

For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.

[778] Prov.9:15 To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their ways, "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, "Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant."

[786] Mic.7:2 The godly man has perished out of the earth, And there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; Every man hunts his brother with a net.

[800] John16:1 "These things have I spoken to you, so that you wouldn't be caused to stumble. They will put you out of the synagogues.

Therefore the land will mourn, And everyone who dwells therein will waste away. All living things in her, Even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; Yes, the fish of the sea also die.

She wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, You did curse God and the king. Then carry him out, and stone him to death.
