18 He predetermined to take the cross

①    The LORD Jesus predetermined to judge Satan.

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.

John5:27 He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

Rom.14:9 For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

John10:18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

John18:36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here."

Acts10:42 He charged us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.

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,

Rev.1:18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

Luke4:3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

2Tim.4:1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

1Pet.4:5 who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

Rev.20:12 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Rev.20:13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.

Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

†   God predetermined to annihilate sin in space-time through His cross.[1] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to judge sin in space-time through His cross.[2] The cross has meaning only when God the Creator bears it.[3] The cross has meaning only when the Second Person in the Trinity is forsaken by the First Person in the Trinity.[4] Even if God forsakes a creature, God's love is not proved. A creature that God can create innumerably at any time[5] and can annihilate at any time[6], means nothing to God in itself.[7] The cross has meaning only when God Himself bears it in person.[8]

†   The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to empty Himself and become a creature to annihilate sin in space-time.[9] The Second Person in the Trinity predetermined to become a creature and burn things related to sin in the lake of fire.[10] The Second Person in the Trinity who became a creature, inherits space-time through His cross.[11] The LORD Jesus burns things related to sin in the lake of fire in space-time which He has inherited.[12]

†   God's love and justice are revealed through His cross.[13] The truthfulness of the commandments is proved through the cross.[14] Through the cross, Satan's wickedness is exposed.[15] Through the cross, the doubts about God remaining in creatures are annihilated.[16] Through the cross, the free will of creatures is perfected.[17] Sin is annihilated in space-time through the cross.[18] Creation comes to be completed through the cross.[19] It is because God predetermined in advance that creation will be completed through this process. This is because God is upholding space-time as such structure in which space-time comes to be completed through this process.[20] As He predetermined[21], the Second Person in the Trinity empties Himself, becomes a creature, and takes the cross.[22]

†   God gave creatures free will.[23] Therefore, God makes creatures understand the reason for judgment and salvation.[24] After God first makes creatures understand why He must burn the criminal in the lake of fire, then He burns the criminal in the lake of fire.[25] God saves the saints after first making creatures understand why He saves the saints from the lake of fire.[26] Therefore, creatures do not misunderstand God's judgment. Even though God burns the sinful creatures to death in the lake of fire, the righteous creatures do not misunderstand God's love and justice.[27]

†   God wants creatures to obey Him out of love, not fear.[28] Before God created Helel, God already knew how Helel would fall.[29] Before angels fell, God already knew how Satan fraudswarms would trample on their neighbors.[30] Before God became a creature, God already knew how Satan fraudswarms would crucify God.[31] God predetermined in advance to perfect the free will of creatures through all these processes[32], and after that He began creation.[33]

†   Creatures cannot love God voluntarily unless they are held captive by God's love.[34] If creatures do not love God voluntarily, they cannot voluntarily submit to God.[35] If creatures do not voluntarily submit to God, they can disobey God at any time. If creatures are not held captive by God's love, they can disobey God at any time. Therefore, God makes creatures understand God's love and justice.

†   The Son's inheritance cannot be perfect if the possibility to sin remains in creatures. Even if the Son delivers God the Father the space-time where sin remains[36], God the Father will not accept that space-time.[37] Even if the Son submits to God the Father with sin still remaining in space-time[38], the creatures that still have the possibility to sin will simply be annihilated.[39] Therefore, the Son judges sin first in space-time which He has inherited. The Son first annihilates sin in space-time. The Son overcomes death through the cross and proves the truthfulness of the commandments.[40]

†   If God commanded creatures to keep the commandments that they could not keep, then creatures would not be able to keep them. If creatures could not keep the commandments, they would not be able to overcome death. If creatures could not overcome death, they would have no choice but to be thrown into the lake of fire along with death. If God had commanded creatures to obey the commandments that creatures could not keep, creatures would have no choice but to be thrown into the lake of fire along with death.[41]

†   But creatures can keep the commandments of love.[42] Creatures can overcome death.[43] Even if the LORD Jesus judges death, creatures can avoid being thrown into the lake of fire along with death. If creatures want, they can escape the judgment of lake of fire. The LORD Jesus set an example of overcoming death.[44] The appointed number of martyr witnesses followed the example of the LORD Jesus and overcame death.[45] The truthfulness of the commandments has been proved.[46] The commandments of love are something creatures can keep sufficiently.[47]

†   It is not because God is cruel that He burns criminals in the lake of fire. If creatures want to escape, they can fully escape the punishment of lake of fire. If creatures do not trample on their neighbors, they can fully escape the punishment of lake of fire. The reason why criminals are thrown into the lake of fire, is that they rebel against God and trample on their neighbors. The reason criminals trample on their neighbors, is because they decide to do so.[48] It is not that criminals trample on their neighbors because the commandments are something that is impossible to keep.[49] Criminals trample their neighbors because they refuse to keep the commandments.[50]

†   God does not immediately judge angels who sinned. God confines angels who sinned in Hades.[51] The Second Person in the Trinity empties Himself and comes to Hades. The Second Person in the Trinity comes to Hades as a creature and takes the cross. The LORD Jesus inherits all creatures, including death and Hades, through His cross.[52] Through His cross, the LORD Jesus inherits all authority in space-time, including the authority to judge death and Hades.[53] The LORD Jesus inherits the authority to judge death and Hades. That authority is the keys of death and Hades. The LORD Jesus burns death and Hades in the lake of fire through His cross.

†   Creatures that have realized the wickedness of sin, now know the value of the commandments.[54] Creatures that have realized the wickedness of sin, now know the love of God who commanded to keep the commandments.[55] Creatures that have fully realized God's love and justice, now willingly submit to God who rules with the commandments. Creatures now love God.[56] Creatures will never rebel again.[57] Through the blood which the Second Person in the Trinity shed as a creature, sin is completely annihilated in space-time.[58]

 

②    The LORD Jesus predetermined to take the cross.

John12:23 Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

John13:3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,

John13:31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

John13:32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.

John17:1 Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;

John17:2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him, he will give eternal life.

John17:3 This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

John17:4 I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do.

John17:5 Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

Col.2:15 having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

†   The glory of God is in the love of God.[59] God tells creatures that He is great because of His love, not because of His omnipotence.[60] Force cannot perfect the free will of creatures. Force only cause fear in creatures.[61] God is upholding the present space-time as such a structure. Therefore He tells so.

†   It is love that perfects the free will of creatures.[62] Love causes creatures to lay down their lives for God.[63] Force cannot cause creatures to lay down their lives for God. What is stronger than force is love.[64] Love conquers even death.[65] God is upholding space-time as such a structure.

†   God reveals His omnipotence to creatures through love, not force.[66] God is omnipotent because He is love.[67] The free will of creatures cannot be perfected by force. God perfects the free will of creatures through love, not force.[68] The God who perfects the free will of creatures, is omnipotent.[69] God is upholding space-time as a structure that is perfected through love, not force.

†   God's love is revealed in space-time through His cross.[70] Therefore, the glory of God is demonstrated to creatures through the cross. The cross is the greatest glory that God reveals to creatures. The LORD Jesus is glorfied through His cross and inherits space-time. The LORD Jesus gives eternal life to creatures through His cross and completes creation. 

 

③    The LORD Jesus predetermined to inherit the throne.

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

Is.40:16 Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the animals of it sufficient for a burnt offering.

Is.40:17 All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity.

Luke19:12 He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

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.

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.

Phil.2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;

Phil.2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

Phil.2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Matt.28:18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Eph.4:10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

†   God can call space-time countless times[71], and He can annihilate space-time at any time.[72] Space-time itself means nothing to God.[73] God accounts space-time as less than nothing and vanity. The heaven of angels or the universe is accounted by God as less than nothing and vanity. To God who upholds infinity as ever-existing, space-time is small.[74] A speck of dust floating in the universe is very small compared to the universe, but God would regard the universe as smaller than a speck of dust.[75] How much less are creatures placed in that universe, to God! Because God is so great, He places His name in space-time and expresses Himself to creatures through that Name.[76]

†   It is God who owns space-time.[77] God puts a throne in space-time and puts His name on that throne.[78] Therefore, inheriting God's name, means inheriting God's throne.[79] To inherit the throne of God, means to inherit space-time. To inherit space-time, means to inherit ownership of space-time. The one who owns space-time, can rule space-time and dispose of space-time as he/she pleases.[80] The ownership of space-time includes the right to rule and the right to judge space-time.[81] The one who inherited the name of God, has the ownership of space-time, that is, the right to rule and the right to judge. The LORD Jesus has the ownership over space-time, the right to rule space-time and the right to judge space-time.[82]

†   The LORD Jesus inherits the name of God through His cross. The LORD Jesus first proves to creatures that He is worthy to inherit the name of God.[83] The LORD Jesus inherits the name of God in the full understanding of creatures.[84] The LORD Jesus, God the Creator[85], is worthy to possess creatures.[86] The LORD Jesus who kept the commandments of love[87], is worthy to rule and judge creatures with the commandments.[88]

[8] Heb.2:14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For most assuredly, not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.

[9] 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.

[10] 1Cor.15:25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

[11] Phil.2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

[13] 1John4:9 By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

[14] Acts2:24 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

[15] Luke20:13 The lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.' "But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.' They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

[16] 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."

[17] 1Pet.1:12 To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into. Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ --

[18] 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."

[19] Gen.2:1 The heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

[21] 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;

[22] Gal.4:4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,

[23] Deut.8:1 All the commandment which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers.

[24] Rev.16:5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way. For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this." I heard the altar saying, "Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments."

[25] 1Tim.5:24 Some men's sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later. In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be hidden.

[26] 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.

[27] 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.

[28] 1John4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love. We love Him, because he first loved us.

[33] Eph.1:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

[34] 1John4:9 By this was God's love revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

[36] 1Cor.15:24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

[37] Ex.33:20 He said, "You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live."

  John6:46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

[39] Deut.4:23 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make you an engraved image in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you. For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

[40] 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.

[41] Rev.20:14 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

[42] 1John5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

[43] 1John5:18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn't sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn't touch him.

[44] 1Cor.15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

[45] 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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

[46] 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.

[47] Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

[48] Jer.4:14 Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?

[49] Prov.1:10 My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent. If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood; Let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause; Let's swallow them up alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down into the pit. We'll find all valuable wealth. We'll fill our houses with spoil. You shall cast your lot among us. We'll all have one purse." My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path,

[50] 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.

[51] 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.

[52] Heb.1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

[53] Matt.28:18 Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

[54] Is.65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be you glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.

[55] Rom.13:10 Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

[56] 2Cor.5:14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died. 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.

[57] 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.

[58] 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.

[59] 1Cor.13:13 But now faith, hope, and love remain -- these three. The greatest of these is love.

[60] 1Cor.13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing. If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.

[61] 1John4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

[62] 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.

[63] 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.

[64] Song8:6 Set me as a seal on your heart, As a seal on your arm; For love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of Yahweh. Many waters can't quench love, Neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, He would be utterly scorned. Friends

[65] 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."
