THE ETERNAL PURPOSE / PART 20

CONCLUSION

-After a careful and unbiased study concerning God’s purpose of the ages ( “olam”, “aion”, and “aionios” ), we have proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that all of God’s dealings with man, whether it be reward or punishment, are within the confines of time. The Bible then, is God’s purpose and plan for man throughout the ages of time. The concept of eternity is hardly to be found anywhere in the entirety of scripture. The life that is spoken of in the Bible is “the life of the ages”, and the punishment ( correction ) that is spoken of is “the punishment of the ages”. Both are said to be “aionios”, that is, “of the ages”, or “belonging to the ages”. The life and punishment ( “of the ages” ) are also to be seen as a quality of life, and a quality of punishment within the ages of time. This will indeed produce eternal results, that is, results that belong to the eternal realm, the realm in which God dwells. The reason that the life will continue and the punishment ( correction ) will not is due to what the apostle Paul taught us in 1^st Corinthians 15:22-28. 1^st Corinthians 15:25-28 states, … For He must reign, till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For He has put all things under His feet. But when He says all things are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted, which did put all things under Him. And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all …

-If death, which is the carnal mind, is destroyed, including the second death, which is death and hell ( Hades - the grave ) cast into the lake of fire, then there is nothing left but life, and this is how God will be ALL IN ALL ( EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE )!

-The only remaining question that is left is … WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS GLORIOUS TRUTH??? Will you believe it, seek to understand it, proclaim it, and teach it? Or will you run from the knowledge of this glorious truth that is now being exposed to you? Many run from it ( the truth of the salvation of all men ), avoid it, ignore it, or say it isn’t so. DO NOT BE BULLIED BY THE TRADITIONS AND DOCTRINES OF MEN!!! STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!!! ARISE AND SHINE; FOR YOUR LIGHT IS COME, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS RISEN UPON YOU! IT IS TRUE! BELIEVE IT! RECEIVE IT! WALK IN IT! GOD TRULY IS …
