Matt.5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
Matt.5:44 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,
Matt.5:45 that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
Matt.5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
Matt.5:47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
Matt.5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Jer.31:31 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer.31:32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Yahweh.
Jer.31:33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
Luke22:20 He took the cup in like manner after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that which is poured out for you.
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.
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.
Rom.8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
2Cor.5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.
2Cor.5:15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
Rom.8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
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.
God commanded creatures to keep the commandments of love. The original meaning of the commandments, is not to not sin only outwardly. God wants creatures not to sin even in their hearts. God intends that creatures never harm their neighbors. Creation come to be completed when only creatures that never harm their neighbors, remain.
Free will is completed only through love. Even if they have the power to harm their neighbors, if they love their neighbors, they will not harm their neighbors. But a creature has no love.[1] A creature cannot love its neighbor on its own strength.[2] Therefore, God pours out His love to the creatures.[3] The cross is the channel through which God pours out His love to the creatures.[4] Through the cross, the free will of creatures comes to be perfected.[5]
Through the cross, God's love comes to be proved in space-time.[6] Through the cross, we come to know the love of God.[7] Having come to know God's love, we come to hate sin. God forgives our sins when we repent.[8] God the Holy Spirit comes upon us who have received the forgiveness of sins.[9] God the Holy Spirit pours out God's love in our hearts.[10] God's commandments come to be written on our hearts.[11] God's love causes us to love our neighbors.[12] Because we love our neighbors, we cannot harm them.[13]
God laid down His life for creatures.[14] The utmost limit of love that God requires of creatures, is to lay down their lives for God.[15] That love is not sparing our lives even to the point of death for God.[16] The utmost limit of love that God requires of creatures, is martyrdom.[17] If he/she was martyred, then he/she is truly the one who loves God. If he/she was martyred, then he/she is truly the one who keeps the commandments.
If we have sin, we cannot overcome death.[18] However, without sin, we can overcome death and be resurrected or transformed.[19] Therefore, the resurrection or transformation proves that we have overcome sin. In other words, the resurrection or transformation proves that we have kept the commandments. Therefore, the resurrection or transformation proves the truthfulness of the commandments. The fact that Satan's claim that 'God commands creatures to keep the commandments that creatures cannot keep' is false, is exposed.[20]
The LORD Jesus proved that He did not sin, through His resurrection.[21] The LORD Jesus is the firstfruits of those who are asleep.[22] Upon the blood the LORD Jesus shed, God the Holy Spirit comes. Through God the Holy Spirit, the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit[23] and the firstfruits who are redeemed from among men, are borne.[24] When the appointed number of firstfruits is fully completed[25], the 1st resurrection takes place.[26] When the appointed number of martyr witnesses is fully completed, the 1st resurrection takes place. The truthfulness of the commandments is proved by the resurrection or transformation that overcomes death.[27]
When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, all doubts about God's love and justice disappear. The free will of creatures comes to be perfected. Now, creatures come to truly love God. Now creatures become completely obedient to God. Now creatures can never harm their neighbors.[28] Sin is annihilated in space-time. Creation is completed.
God is love.[29] Love became a creature. Creatures now see with their eyes what Love is, and touch Love with their hands.[30] Creatures now imitate Love.[31] Creatures become love.[32] God is the Word.[33] The Commandments became a creature.[34] Creatures now see with their eyes what the Commandments is, and touch the Commandments with their hands. Creatures now imitate the Commandments.[35] Creatures become word.[36]
God is the tree of life.[37] The tree of Life became a creature.[38] Creatures now see with their eyes what Life is, and touch Life with their hands.[39] Creatures now imitate Life.[40] Creatures become tree of life.[41] God Himself became a creature and expresses His own image in person.[42] Creatures now see with their eyes what God is like, and touch His image with their hands.[43] Creatures now imitate God.[44] Creatures become the image of God.[45]
The LORD Jesus is now a creature in space-time, but in fact He is God.[46] The One who is both God and a creature, is called the only begotten Son. The only begotten Son became the Firstborn of all creatures.[47] The only begotten Son became our Eldest Brother. God became a creature and became the Prototype of creatures. The Prototype is the ultimate object of creatures, that is, the finished thing.[48] The younger brothers and sisters imitate the only begotten Son who became the Eldest Brother and leaves the example of love.[49] The Prototype is now formed in the younger brothers and sisters.[50] The younger brothers and sisters now become finished things.[51]
But we are creatures. We cannot become God. Even if our free will is perfected, even if the possibility to sin is annihilated in us, we are still only creatures. We exist only in space-time.[52] However, the Second Person in the Trinity transcends space-time.[53] The First Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Third Person in the Trinity are present in every moment and every place at the same time[54], and are upholding every moment and every place at the same time.[55] To God who transcends space-time, creation has already been completed.[56] We who exist only in space-time, are only participating in the process in the flow of time.
① God predetermined to make creatures imitate God.
Col.1:15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
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.
Col.1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
Col.1:18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
† The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become a creature and show God to creatures.[57] God predetermined to become a creature in person so that creatures would imitate[58] God.[59] God began to create after God had predetermined to perfect the creatures in the image of God.[60]
† The Second Person in the Trinity became the Firstborn of creatures.[61] God became a creature so that creatures might resemble Him.[62] In order for creatures to resemble God's character[63], God became a creature.[64] Therefore, the younger brothers and sisters now follow the Eldest Brother. Younger brothers and sisters look at the Eldest Brother and love like the Eldest Brother.[65] Younger brothers and sisters look at the Eldest Brother and obey the Father like the Eldest Brother.[66] Younger brothers and sisters look at the Eldest Brother and overcome sin like the Eldest Brother.[67] Angels and humans look at the Eldest Brother and overcome sin like the Eldest Brother.
† The best way for creatures to know God's character, is to see God directly.[68] However, creatures cannot see God directly.[69] The only way for a creature to see God directly[70], is through God becoming a creature.[71] Therefore, God Himself becomes a creature.[72]
† Seeing God who became a creature[73], creatures know when God is happy[74] and when He is sad.[75] Seeing God who became a creature, creatures know when God is angry[76] and when He is in trouble.[77] God Himself becomes a creature and shows in person how to live out the commandments that He commanded to keep. The commandments were previously just a word audible[78], but now He is next to us as our Neighbor we can see and touch with our hands.[79]
† Creatures see God directly and resemble God.[80] Creatures now love like God and hate like God.[81] Just as the Word became flesh, so the flesh also becomes the word.[82] Just as the Word is contained in the body of creature, so creatures also contains the word in their flesh.[83] Creatures given free will, are perfected in the image of Christ.[84] The beasts that ignored the commandments of love[85], are perfected in the image of God.[86] Angels and humans are perfected as those who love God and their neighbors.[87] The image of God is, in other words, 'a creature whose free will is the same as that of God'.
Is.43:7 everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.
Is.43:21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
† Creatures were created by the Second Person in the Trinity, through the Second Person in the Trinity, for the Second Person in the Trinity, and in the Second Person in the Trinity.[88] Creatures exist only for God. God created adam so that he would declare God's praise. Adam is resurrected or transformed and sings the song of the Lamb.[89] On the day adam comes out to the 1st resurrection, the truthfulness of the commandments is proved.[90] When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved[91], the free will of angels is perfected.
Prov.16:4 Yahweh has made everything for its own end -- Yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
† God knows every choice of every creature.[92] In order for God to complete creation[93], He placed each creature in His appointed place at His appointed time.[94] Each creature will do good or evil according to its own will[95], and God's will will be fulfilled in it.[96]
John15:8 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
† The flesh is dust.[97] The ground is cursed.[98] If left untouched, the ground will produce thorns and thistles.[99] Thorns and thistles are the lust of flesh and works of the flesh.[100] However, breaking up the ground can remove thorns and thistles.[101] If we plant a seed in the ground, it can bear fruit.[102] If we plant the word in the ground, we can bear the fruit of God the Holy Spirit.[103] Fruit is the fruit of God the Holy Spirit. When God the Holy Spirit comes like rain on the seed-bearing land[104], the land brings forth fruit. Fruit proves the truthfulness of the commandments. If we can keep the commandments even while wearing the cursed flesh, then the commandments are something that creatures can truly keep. Therefore, through adam's fruit, God is glorified.
Rom.14:7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
Rom.14:8 For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's.
1Cor.10:31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
2Cor.5:15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
Gal.2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
Eph.1:5 having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Eph.1:6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved,
Eph.2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Eph.2:5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
Eph.2:6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Eph.2:7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
Eph.2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Phil.1:20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
Phil.1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Titus2:14 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
1Pet.4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
1Pet.4:2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
† God created adam to prove the truthfulness of the commandments.[105] If we keep the commandments, we overcome death. If we overcome death, we will be resurrected or transformed.[106] Therefore, the resurrection of life, especially the resurrection or transformation of the martyr witnesses, proves the truthfulness of the commandments.[107] When the truthfulness of the commandments is proved, all doubts about God's love and justice are put to rest.[108] God who is love, does not impose upon creatures commandments that creatures cannot keep.[109]
† Even with his/her flesh cursed, adam would keep the commandments.[110] The love of the cross will perfect even adam in the cursed flesh into the image of God.[111] Angels are not clothed with the cursed flesh. Are the commandments which even adam keeps, impossible for angels to keep?[112]
† Since the resurrection or transformation of adam perfects the free will of angels, adam's life of keeping the commandments brings glory to God. Adam's fruitful life glorifies God. God the Holy Spirit comes into the flesh of adam who has been forgiven by the blood of the LORD Jesus.[113] The 1st Adam who was born again from the Last Adam through the word and God the Holy Spirit[114], overcomes the lust of flesh through the power of God the Holy Spirit.[115] The fruit of God the Holy Spirit is borne in the cursed flesh. It is grace, not works, because it is not righteousness through adam's own efforts, but through God the Holy Spirit.[116]
† The Messiah, or Christ, means the Anointed One. Anointing is given to kings, priests[117], and prophets.[118] Prophets proclaim the commandments[119], priests atone for the sins of those who repent[120], and kings judge those who do not repent.[121]
† Helel was also anointed.[122] But Helel is corrupted. Helel attacks the commandments[123], blocks repentance, and denies judgment.[124] Adam was also a king who should have kept the garden of Eden from sin[125], a prophet who should have declared the commandments to Eve[126], and a priest who should have interceded with God for Eve's sin instead.[127] But Adam sinned and became a slave to sin.[128]
† God Himself came as the Messiah in person. The Last Adam, as a relative of the 1st Adam, redeems the inheritance for the sake of the 1st Adam.[129] The 1st Adam who became a slave to sin and lost his position, regains his position[130] in the Last Adam.[131] The 1st Adam helps the Last Adam to proclaim the commandments[132], to make people repent of their sins[133], and to judge the enemy.[134] On the day the Messiah returns[135], the inheritance of the 1st Adam will be fully restored.[136]
② God predetermined to let each of creatures choose.
John3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
John3:36 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."
† Space-time exists[137] within the First Person in the Trinity[138] and the Second Person in the Trinity.[139] (Space-time exists[140] within the First Person in the Trinity, the Second Person in the Trinity, and the Third Person in the Trinity.[141]) Therefore, space-time also[142] belongs[143] to the Second Person in the Trinity.[144] However, the Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to empty Himself and give up ownership of space-time.[145] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become a creature and inherit space-time from the First Person in the Trinity.[146] Through that process, the Second Person in the Trinity will complete space-time.[147]
† The Second Person in the Trinity, as a creature, inherits space-time.[148] Any creature that does not obey God who came as a creature, will be thrown into the lake of fire. Only the creatures that obey God who came as a creature, will live forever.[149] The LORD Jesus is the criterion that separates creatures to the lake of fire or to the eternal life.[150] All creatures given free will must eventually decide whether or not to obey the LORD Jesus.[151] The end of the choice given to creatures, is the LORD Jesus.[152]
John5:22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
John5:23 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.
John5:24 "Most assuredly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
John5:25 Most assuredly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will live.
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.
John5:28 Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,
John5:29 and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
† The LORD Jesus is the basis for judgment. The LORD Jesus Himself judges in person. All creatures must honor God who became a creature, just as they honor God. All creatures must worship God who became a creature, just as they worship God.[153] Only the creatures that worship God who became a creature, survive.[154] Any creature that does not worship God who became a creature, is thrown into the lake of fire.[155]
† The LORD Jesus will sit on the great white throne to judge.[156] The LORD Jesus rules by the commandments of love.[157] The LORD Jesus will throw every criminal that tramples on his/her neighbor, into the lake of fire.[158] The LORD Jesus will spare only those creatures that submit to the rule of love.[159] All creatures will have to prove their hearts with their own deeds.[160]
† In order to judge righteously, the LORD Jesus will judge publicly.[161] A creature cannot see the heart of its neighbor creatures.[162] Therefore, if the LORD Jesus judges a creature based on its heart, creatures cannot understand the judgment.[163] Therefore, the LORD Jesus will judge each creature on the basis of the deeds of each creature.[164] Each creature will have to prove its own heart by its deeds.[165] If we say we love our neighbor in words, but trample on our neighbor in deeds[166], in front of the judgment seat, we are the ones who trample on our neighbor. But the motives of the heart may be used to supplement judgment.[167]
John3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John3:17 For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
John3:18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
† The LORD Jesus is the criterion that separates creatures to eternal life or to the lake of fire. All creatures in space-time are divided according to the LORD Jesus.[168] The creature that submits to the LORD Jesus, lives forever. Any creature that rebels against the LORD Jesus, is thrown into the lake of fire. In other words, only the creatures that submit to the rule of the LORD Jesus will live forever, while all creatures that do not submit will be thrown into the lake of fire. The LORD Jesus will spare only those creatures that submit to the rule of love.[169] Each creature chooses whether to submit to the LORD Jesus or not.
John3:19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
John3:20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.
John3:21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
† He/She who does not keep the commandments of love, rejects the light. The motive for deciding whether or not to submit to the LORD Jesus, is the commandments of love.[170] Those who keep the commandments, obey the LORD Jesus. Those who do not keep the commandments do not obey the LORD Jesus. Whether or not to obey the LORD Jesus, is determined by whether or not to keep the commandments. In other words, the criterion by which creatures determine their own free will, is the commandments of love.[171] Only the creatures that keep the commandments of love obey the LORD Jesus. Therefore, only the creatures that keep the commandments of love, have eternal life.[172]
John10:25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.
John10:26 But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.
John10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
John10:28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
John10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.
John10:30 I and the Father are one."
John10:31 Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.
John10:32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"
John10:33 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."
† The reason the Jews wanted to kill the LORD Jesus, was that the LORD Jesus identified Himself as God. Since a person claims to be God, at first glance, this may be an understandable reason. But the real reason they wanted to kill the LORD Jesus, was that they would not keep the commandments.[173]
† Unless we would keep the commandments of love, we cannot recognize the LORD Jesus. Because we cannot recognize the LORD Jesus, we cannot receive the LORD Jesus. Since we cannot receive the LORD Jesus, we cannot receive the forgiveness of sins. However, even if we receive the LORD Jesus and receive the forgiveness of sins, if we would not keep the commandments of love, we cannot obey the LORD Jesus.[174] Even though we had once been forgiven of our sins, because we now do not obey the LORD Jesus, we are thrown into the lake of fire.[175] In other words, if we refuse to keep the commandments of love[176], whether we recognize the LORD Jesus or not, we will eventually be thrown into the lake of fire.[177]
† He/She who refuses to keep the commandments of love[178], rejects God.[179] God does not force grace on those who reject Him.[180] God is the one who has given creatures free will.[181] God does not force those who reject, to eternal life.[182]
† Those who reject the grace of God, cannot hear the voice of the LORD Jesus.[183] Because his/her will rejects the grace of God.[184] Only those who hear the voice of the LORD Jesus, are the sheep of the LORD Jesus. Only the sheep of the LORD Jesus, obey the LORD Jesus. Only those who obey the LORD Jesus, live forever.
† After foreknowing in advance who would submit to the LORD Jesus[185] and foreordaining to give them eternal life[186], God began to create. God gave grace to those He had foreknown[187], and made them obey the LORD Jesus.[188] If God had not given grace to them, they would not have been able to obey the LORD Jesus, even though they were the ones who would have obeyed the LORD Jesus if God had given grace to them. If God had not given grace to them, they too would have been thrown into the lake of fire. God already knows who will obey the LORD Jesus, but creatures do not. A creature can determine the identity of its neighbor creatures only by the deeds of its neighbor creatures that are revealed on the outside.[189]
† Only those who would keep the commandments of love, can receive God's grace[190], and only those who receive God's grace, can live forever.[191] Those who would not keep the commandments of love cannot receive God's grace[192], and those who did not receive God's grace cannot live forever. Eternal life is given through God's grace[193], but it is the choice of each creature[194], whether to accept or reject that grace.[195]
B. If we forsake life, we die.
John12:47 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
John12:48 He who rejects me, and doesn't receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke, the same will judge him in the last day.
† The only basis for determining whether a creature will live forever or be thrown into the lake of fire, is only the LORD Jesus. If we obey the LORD Jesus, we will have eternal life. If we do not obey the LORD Jesus, we will be thrown into the lake of fire.[196] We can obey the LORD Jesus only if we are willing to keep His commandments. If we are not willing to keep the commandments of the LORD Jesus, we cannot obey the LORD Jesus. The LORD Jesus is the criterion of eternal life and judgment.
2Chr.36:15 Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place:
2Chr.36:16 but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
† God who created space-time with His word[197], rules creatures with His word. To disobey God's word, is to disobey God. God communicates His word to creatures through messengers. To disobey the message communicated by the messenger, is to disobey God.[198] If we disobey God's word communicated by the messenger, there is no way we can obey God's word.[199]
Ps.78:38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, And didn't stir up all his wrath.
Ps.78:39 He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes away, and doesn't come again.
Ps.78:40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, And grieved him in the desert!
Prov.1:24 Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
Prov.1:25 But you have ignored all my counsel, And wanted none of my reproof;
Prov.1:26 I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;
Jer.8:5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Jer.11:7 For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Jer.11:8 Yet they didn't obey, nor turn their ear, but walked everyone in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn't do them.
Jer.15:6 You have rejected me, says Yahweh, you are gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.
Jer.22:21 I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not hear. This has been your manner from your youth, that you didn't obey my voice.
Jer.25:3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of Yahweh has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
Jer.25:4 Yahweh has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, (but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear,)
Jer.35:15 I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return you now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and don't go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.
Hos.11:7 My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, He certainly won't exalt them.
Zech.7:11 But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
† God endures with much patience, but not forever.[200] God tolerates with much patience the deed of trampling on one's neighbor, but not forever.[201] When creatures determine their own free will, they will face the consequences as they have determined.
† If we do not keep the commandments of love, God will not keep us.[202] God gives grace only to those who want to keep the commandments, so that they keep them.[203] We cannot keep the commandments[204] when we do not want to keep them.[205] We can receive grace only if we want to keep the commandments, and we can keep the commandments only if we receive grace.
Matt.21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner.
Matt.21:37 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
Matt.21:38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, and seize his inheritance.'
Matt.21:39 So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
† God who has communicated His word through creatures[206], finally came as a creature to communicate His word in person.[207] But those who disobey, kill even God. The end of sin, is to kill even God. Because God forbids the sin.
Matt.23:37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
Acts7:51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.
Acts7:52 Which of the prophets didn't your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
Rom.2:4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
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,
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.
2Pet.3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pet.3:15 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;
Rev.2:21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
† Had it not been for God's patience, we would have all died.[208] We are still alive, not because we are righteous[209], but because God has been patient with us.[210]
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!
Is.14:13 You said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit on the mountain of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north;
Is.14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.
Ezek.28:16 By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
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.
† Hellel can choose. He will make his choice with a great knowledge of God.[211] He will make his choice in the strong light. He will make his choice when there is no delusion. Therefore, his choice will definitively express his free will. That is why, after he makes his choice, he will not want to turn back.[212] He will make his own decisions with his full free will, uninfluenced by anyone.
Rev.12:3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
Rev.12:4 His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
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;
Jude1:6 Angels who didn't keep their first domain, but deserted their own dwelling place, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.
† Angels can choose. They will make their choice with a great knowledge of God. They will make their choice when Helel tries to deceive them. They will have more chances of turning back than Helel, because they will make their choice in Helel's deception. But since angels too will make their choice in the bright light, after they make their choice[213], they will not want to turn back.[214]
Is.11:6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them.
Is.11:7 The cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
Is.11:8 The sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
Is.11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
Gen.2:19 Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
Gen.2:20 The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.
Gen.2:21 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
Gen.2:22 He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.
Gen.2:23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
Gen.3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.
† Adam can choose. Adam will make his choice without knowing God well. Adam will make his choice in Satan's deception. Adam will make his choice in not-so-bright light.[215] Where the fallen angels are confined, adam will make his choice.[216] Adam will make his choice in the earthen flesh. The descendants of the 1st Adam will make their choice in the cursed earthen flesh.[217] Therefore, adam will be given many chances to turn back. The light that will shine through the Messiah[218], will be a powerful chance for adam to turn back.[219]
† But many adams will reject the Messiah.[220] Many adams will choose their lust of flesh.[221] Many adams will become slave of sin.[222] The more they refuse to come to the light, the more difficult it will be to repent.[223] The more light they receive before they fall, the more difficult it will be to turn back. Those who confirmed their free will to sin, will be thrown into the lake of fire along with the fallen angels.
Job20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, The joy of the godless but for a moment?
Job20:6 Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach to the clouds,
Job20:7 Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung, Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?'
Job20:8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.
Job20:9 The eye which saw him shall see him no more, Neither shall his place any more see him.
Ps.37:20 But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish -- Vanish like smoke.
Ps.73:18 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
Ps.73:19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
Ps.73:20 As a dream when one wakes up, So, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
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.
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.
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?"
Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Heb.12:29 for our God is a consuming fire.
1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
1Cor.15:26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
† Death is separation from the life of God. Death is to be forsaken by God. Death is to be annihilated by burning in the lake of fire. Forsaken creatures will eventually be annihilated after being burned as much as each of their sins. They will be annihilated and returned to non-existence. Returning to non-existence and becoming like a dream, I think this is the 2nd death. Of course, it may not. In any case, the punishment will be fair.[224]
† Creation is finally completed when only the creatures that submit to the rule of love, remain.[225] When even death is destroyed, creation is completed. Only those creatures that submit to the rule of the commandments, will live forever.[226] Even when creation is completed, creatures exist only in space-time.[227] The eternal life of a creature is but an infinite extension of time.
④ Sinners will be punished according to each of their sins.
Is.47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
Mark9:47 If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,
Mark9:48 'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'
Mark9:49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
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.
† If we do not forsake our sins, we will be thrown into the lake of fire with our sins. The lake of fire was originally prepared for the Devil and his angels. If we disregard the commandments as the Devil does, we will be thrown into the lake of fire as the Devil is thrown into the lake of fire.[228] Souls who disregard the commandments of love, will come out to the resurrection of judgment, clothed in flesh, and thrown into the lake of fire.[229] They will be salted with fire, equal to the price of each one's sins.
† God rules space-time with the commandments of love. God is present in every moment and every place at the same time, and is upholding every moment and every place at the same time. Therefore, the only way for creatures that reject God's rule to escape from God's rule, is to be returned to non-existence. Therefore, they will be returned to non-existence. When they are returned, they will each have to pay fully for the sins they have committed.
† Of course, the domain of non-existence is also within God, but God will not call back into space-time the creatures that reject God's rule. Unless God calls it into being, non-being has no need to respond to God's commandments. As they wish, they will be freed from God's rule. God will withdraw His life from them.
Job34:10 "Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, From the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
Job34:11 For the work of a man will he render to him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.
Prov.24:12 If you say, "Behold, we didn't know this;" Doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
Is.3:11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; For the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.
Jer.17:10 I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Jer.32:19 great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
Ezek.7:8 Now will I shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
Ezek.16:43 Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says the Lord Yahweh: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
Ezek.22:31 Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says the Lord Yahweh.
Hos.12:2 Yahweh also has a controversy with Judah, And will punish Jacob according to his ways; According to his deeds he will repay him.
Luke12:47 That servant, who knew his lord's will, and didn't prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Luke12:48 but he who didn't know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom they deposit much, of him will they ask more.
Rom.2:6 who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"
Heb.2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;
† God will judge each creature according to its deeds. Judgment will be public. The motive of the deeds can also be included in the judgment, but the basic basis of judgment will be the revealed deeds. Since God judges creatures on the basis of its deeds, neighbor creatures will understand why each creature met its consequences. Creatures will understand judgment. Creatures will not misunderstand the God who burns criminals in the lake of fire.
† Depending on the crime committed, the weight of the punishment will vary. Depending on the grace the creature has received, the weight of the punishment will also vary. If we have received much grace and have sinned, we will receive much punishment.
[1] Rom.3:9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin. As it is written, "There is no one righteous. No, not one. There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, No, not, so much as one."
[2] 1John4:19 We love Him, because he first loved us.
[3] 1John4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.
[4] 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.
[5] Gal.2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
[6] Rom.5:8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[7] 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.
[8] Luke7:48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
[9] Acts2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
[10] Rom.5:5 and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
[11] 2Cor.3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
[12] 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.
[13] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
[14] 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.
[15] John15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
[16] Rev.12:11 They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.
[17] Matt.10:37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me. He who doesn't take his cross and follow after me, isn't worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
[18] Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[19] 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.
[20] Job1:8 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil." 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? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face."
[21] 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.
[22] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
[23] 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.
[24] 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.
[25] 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.
[26] 1Cor.15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
[27] Job2:3 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause." Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life. But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face."
[28] 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."
[29] 1John4:16 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
[30] 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);
[31] Acts7:59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my Spirit!" He kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, "Lord, don't hold this sin against them!" When he had said this, he fell asleep.
[32] 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.
[33] John1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[34] John1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
[35] 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.
[36] John10:34 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?' If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken),
[37] 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?"
[38] John6:55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me. This is the bread which came down out of heaven -- not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."
[39] 1John5:11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.
[40] 1John3:17 But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him? My little children, let's not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
[41] Rev.22:2 in the midst of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
[42] 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.
[43] Col.1:15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
[44] 2Pet.1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
[45] Gal.4:19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you--
[46] 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.
[47] Rom.8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
[48] Gen.1:26 God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
[49] 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." Who, when he was reviled, didn't revile back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;
[50] 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."
[51] Rev.14:4 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. In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

[55] 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;
[56] Rev.22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
[57] 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.
[58] Eph.5:1 Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
[59] Rom.8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
[60] Gen.1:26 God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
[61] Heb.1:5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son, Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, And he will be to me a Son?" Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
[62] 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;
[63] 1John4:8 He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
[64] 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; having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
[65] Luke23:34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.
[66] Phil.2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
[67] 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,
[68] Rev.1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last,

I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy." He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."
[70] 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.

[74] Luke10:21 In that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."

[76] John2:15 He made a whip of cords, and threw all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables. To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!"

[80] John3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God! That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'
[81] Mal.2:16 For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!' says Yahweh of Hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you don't deal treacherously.

[89] Rev.15:2 I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, and his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations. Who wouldn't fear you, Lord, And glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you. For your righteous acts have been revealed.
[90] 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.
[91] 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."

[92] 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.
[93] 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.
[94] 1Kin.13:2 He cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh, and said, altar, altar, thus says Yahweh: Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men's bones shall they burn on you.
[95] 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.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this." God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn't allow you to touch her.
[96] Esther4:13 Then Mordecai bade them return answer to Esther, Don't think to yourself that you shall escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

[99] 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?

[101] Hos.10:11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; So I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plow. Jacob will break his clods.

[105] Job2:3 Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause." Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Skin for skin. Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life. But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face."
[106] 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."

[111] 2Cor.3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
[112] 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.

[113] 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.
[114] John3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God! That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'
[115] Gal.5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one other, that you may not do the things that you desire.
[116] Eph.2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.

[120] Heb.9:24 For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,
[121] Rev.19:15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with a rod of iron.

[127] Gen.3:11 God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
[128] Rom.6:16 Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered. Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
[129] Lev.25:24 In all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land. If your brother be grew poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman who is next to him come, and shall redeem that which his brother has sold.
[130] 1Pet.2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
[131] Ex.19:5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."
[132] Rom.10:13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?
[133] Ezek.22:29 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully. I sought for a man among them, who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none. Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says the Lord Yahweh.
[134] 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."
[135] Rev.20:5 The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection.

[142] Ps.102:25 Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed. But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
[143] 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?"
[144] 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.

[153] Rev.5:11 I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, riches, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing!" I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen." The four living creatures said, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.
[154] Heb.1:6 Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
[155] John9:39 Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who don't see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

Therefore your sin remains.
[156] Rev.20:11 I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

[161] Luke12:2 But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops. "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.
[162] 1Kin.8:39 then hear in heaven, your dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men;)
[163] 1Cor.2:11 For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God's Spirit.
[164] Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 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.
[165] Prov.24:11 Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter! If you say, "Behold, we didn't know this;" Doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?
[166] Matt.7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy by your name, by your name cast out demons, and by your name do many mighty works?' Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
[167] 1Cor.4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

[170] 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);
[171] Rom.13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. 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.
[172] John12:50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."
[173] Matt.23:2 saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses' seat. All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don't do their works; for they say, and don't do. For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them. But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad, enlarge the fringes of their garments, and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi, Rabbi' by men. But don't you be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers. Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven. Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ. But he who is greatest among you will be your servant. Whoever will exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever will humble himself will be exalted. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation. "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don't enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of Gehenna as yourselves. "Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.' You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold? 'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is a debtor.' You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift? He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it. He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who is living in it. He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel! "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness. You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside of it may become clean also. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous, and say, 'If we had been in the days of our fathers, we wouldn't have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.' Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are sons of those who killed the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?
[174] 2Pet.2:20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state has become worse with them than the first.
[175] Heb.6:4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
[176] 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.'
[177] Luke12:45 But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken, then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn't expecting him, and in an hour that he doesn't know, and will cut him apart, and place his portion with the unfaithful. That servant, who knew his lord's will, and didn't prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes, but he who didn't know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom they deposit much, of him will they ask more.
[178] 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. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
[179] 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;
[180] 2Cor.6:1 Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain, for he says, "At an acceptable time I listened to you, In a day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
[181] 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.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this." God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn't allow you to touch her.
[182] 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.
[183] Is.59:1 Behold, Yahweh's hand is not shortened, that it can't save; neither his ear heavy, that it can't hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.
[184] Ps.66:18 If I cherished sin in my heart, The Lord wouldn't have listened.
[185] Rom.8:29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
[186] 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; having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
[187] 1Pet.1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled in his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
[188] Rom.11:2 God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel: "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life." But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
[189] Rom.2:26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won't his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision? Won't the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law? For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
[190] 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.
[191] Eph.2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.
[192] John12:39 For this cause they couldn't believe, for Isaiah said again, "He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, Lest they should see with their eyes, And perceive with their heart, And would turn, And I would heal them."
[193] Rom.5:21 that as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
[194] 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.
[195] Is.1:16 Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; Cease to do evil. Learn to do well. Seek justice, Relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, Plead for the widow." "Come now, and let us reason together," says Yahweh: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
[196] 1John5:11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.
[197] 2Pet.3:5 For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;
[198] Ex.16:8 Moses said, "Now Yahweh shall give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you; because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh."
[199] Luke16:29 "But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.' "He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' "He said to him, 'If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"
[200] Num.14:11 Yahweh said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them? I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.
[201] Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 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.
[202] Hos.4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, That you may be no priest to me. Because you have your God's law, I will also forget your children.
[203] Phil.4:6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
[204] Jer.4:14 Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
[205] Ps.81:11 But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me. So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, That they might walk in their own counsels.
[206] Heb.2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense; how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation -- which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;
[207] Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 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.
[208] Ps.78:38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, And didn't stir up all his wrath. He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes away, and doesn't come again. How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, And grieved him in the desert!
[209] Is.64:6 For we are all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
[210] Deut.9:4 Don't speak in your heart, after that Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh does drive them out from before you. Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. Know therefore, that Yahweh your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.
[211] Ezek.28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
[212] Heb.6:4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
[213] James2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
[214] Luke8:30 Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him. They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.
[215] Gen.1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
[216] Eph.6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
[217] 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.
[218] John5:35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
[219] Matt.4:16 The people who sat in darkness saw a great light, To those who sat in the region and shadow of death, To them light has dawned." From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
[220] Rom.10:16 But they didn't all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
[221] James1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
[222] John8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
[223] John3:19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."
[224] Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 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.
[225] 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.
[226] John12:50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak."
[227] Job38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.
[228] 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.
[229] John5:28 Don't marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.https://youtu.be/AupisuARmgQ?feature=shared
