GOSPEL of LORD JESUS CHRIST – Heavenbound – SAVED – INHERITING His Kingdom vs ENTERING His Kingdom only
“He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time.” (Daniel 12:9, NASB)
What’s the Difference between INHERITING His Kingdom and ENTERING His Kingdom to be SAVED?
Inheriting is only for the righteous.
Inheriting as Sons of God having the highest offices of being Priests and Kings in His Kingdom is only for those who had faith (and did not turn Lawless but remained Faithful to His Words) on earth prior in their temporal lives whilst having the Faith of Jesus Christ too. These are those belonging to the Election of Grace, who are the Israel of God.
The Israel of God (Galatians 6:16) or the People of God refers to both Jews (1 Peter 2:9) and Gentiles (Titus 2:14) who believe in Lord Jesus Christ only fulfilling an ‘obedience of faith’ as Prophesied toward the Jews (Exodus 19:5, Romans 9:6) and Gentiles likewise (Romans 1:5, Romans 16:26) toward the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:6 – 13), which is a condition against Lawlessness (Matthew 7:20 – 23, Matthew 21:43) where these will INHERIT His Kingdom by His MERCY ONLY (Romans 9:15 – 16, Romans 11:5 – 6) toward the believing Jews (1 Peter 2:10) and believing Gentiles too (Romans 11:30).
Now, the Mercy shown to the Elect causes them to INHERIT His Kingdom as KINGS and PRIESTS (the highest of Inheritance in His Incomparable Glorious Kingdom!, Revelation 1:6, Revelation 5:10). The MERCY of God given to ALL (Romans 11:32) causes them to be SAVED eventually which includes the enemies of the Gospel too (Romans 11:28) for example in the first context of unbelieving Israel too (‘their FAILURE to believe’, Romans 11:11 – 12) where it is echoed likewise toward the FULLNESS of including the unbelieving Gentiles (Romans 11:25) & the world too (‘the REJECTION of unbelieving Israel’ vs the ‘RECONCILIATION of the World’ in Romans 11:15)! meaning that ALL ISRAEL being SAVED (Romans 11:26) will ENTER His Kingdom of the Heavens eventually but NOT ALL of them will INHERIT His Kingdom, that is, they don’t have RULING POWER there.
Yes, in light of ALL LAW and PROPHETS (Context: Matthew 5:17 – 18) but according to the Commands of Obedience as the Lord has Revealed to His Apostles under the Leadership of Peter (the apostle of the Jews, 2 Peter 3:2) and Paul (the apostle of the Gentiles, 1 Corinthians 14:37), those ‘preaching it (teach) and doing it (practice)’ will be GREAT in His Kingdom while those ‘preaching AGAINST it (teach) and doing AGAINST it (practice)’ will be LEAST in His Kingdom where both the LAW-KEEPER and the LAW-BREAKER of any Law (Context first: Matthew 5:17 – 18) will ENTER into His Kingdom of the Heavens eventually (post Mercy which Triumphs and ends any afterlife Judgment Sentence be it in the lake of Fire itself where a Judgment without Mercy may have to be endured first, James 2:13) as it is WRITTEN MERCIFULLY in Matthew 5:19 as our Blessed SAVIOUR Promised.
Remember, the instructions given to His Apostle as it is Written in the Bible are not to be taken lightly and are by His Holy Spirit and so we ought to OBEY them instead of QUESTIONING them (are we ‘smarter than God or His apostles?’):
“till the day in which, having given COMMAND, through the HOLY SPIRIT, to the APOSTLES whom He did choose out, He was taken up,” (Acts 1:2, YLT)
Conclusion in regards to the SALVATION of ALL MEN
(i) For the RIGHTEOUS having faith in the FAITH of JESUS CHRIST – SHEEPFOLD1
SOUL with SPIRIT is SAVED – by HIS MERCY – the KINGDOM of God begins WITHIN YOU – where we experience SPIRITUAL RENEWAL Within on earth itself DAILY – and upon Death (the NATURAL BODY Dies) or if we are alive when He Returns, we will ENTER His Kingdom LITERALLY too – through the REDEMPTION of the BODY where our SOUL with SPIRIT is given a PERFECTLY IMMORTAL SPIRITUAL BODY – via the First Resurrection – During the First Hour of the Last Day just before the 1000 years Millennial Reign Begins becoming ‘the GREAT’ before His Throne – toward All in sheepfold-1 – to INHERIT His Kingdom – Having their Names Written in the Lamb’s Book of Life – where next on Judgment DAY, after His Millennial Reign has Ended – their Works will be REFINED by FIRE into REWARDS – and the Second Death cannot harm these in any way – yes, these will continue with GREATER GLORY becoming KINGS and PRIESTS to REIGN with HIM into the ages of the AGES – and His REIGN will ATTAIN ALL Created Things Eventually and we will be Co-HEIRS with HIM – where what is obtained through His REIGN will be HIS KINGDOM of which there is NO END – where eventually somewhere at the END of this REIGN, SIN and EVIL will CEASE to EXIST and God becomes ALL in All Creation and His KINGDOM Increases with NO END beyond!
Who?: Believers who are FAITHFULLY OBEDIENT to His WRITTEN WORD ONLY in both TEACHING (preaching) and DOING (practice).
(ii) For the RIGHTEOUS who did NOT believe or FELL from Grace – SHEEPFOLD2
UNSAVED on the earth – Upon Bodily Death, their SOUL with SPIRIT goes to the afterlife Punishment Regions to FACE JUDGMENT – where they receive the level of PAIN and SUFFERING according to what they have done only – Eventually HIS MERCY Triumphs Over (and Ends) the afterlife Judgment – where they will ENTER His Kingdom in the afterlife in the lesser regions of the blessed being comforted there – awaiting the REDEMPTION of their BODY in these afterlife abodes – where their SOUL with SPIRIT or SPIRIT ONLY (depending on the Level of Judgment Prior) – will be given a Lesser-Glory Perfect Spiritual Body – in the Second Resurrection of the Righteous – During the Last Hour of the Last Day just after the 1000 years Millennial Reign has ended – toward All in sheepfold-2 – becoming ‘the SMALL’ before His Throne – to INHERIT His Kingdom – Having their Names Written in the Lamb’s Book of Life – where next on Judgment DAY, after His Millennial Reign has Ended – their Works will be REFINED by FIRE into REWARDS – where if anyone’s work among these is BURNT, these will be SAVED even so by FIRE – thereby having ‘lesser offices’ in His Kingdom which are not explicitly written but may be inferred to be less than priests and kings of which they will have NO part (for these positions belong to those of the First Resurrection ONLY) – and REIGN with HIM thereafter to the ages of the AGES too – under us!
Who? The Fallen Believers of LAWLESSNESS and the RIGHTEOUS from other religions or from among the atheist who did NOT believe in Christ on earth but did ‘Good Works’.
(iii) For the Wicked
UNSAVED on the earth – Upon Bodily Death, their SOUL with SPIRIT goes to the afterlife Punishment Regions to FACE JUDGMENT – where they receive the level of PAIN and SUFFERING according to what they have done only – Both their BODY and SOUL will eventually be Destroyed in the FIRES of GEHENNA (Hell) – and only their SPIRITS will remain in these afterlife PRISONS in the LAKE of FIRE too together with the spiritual wickedness of the heavens locked in with them in this Lake of Fire – the GOSPEL will be PREACHED to these ‘dead’, i.e. ‘the dead’ who are in their Resurrected NATURAL BODY of SOME PERISHABLE FLESH to ENDURE JUDGMENT in the Lake of Fire on Judgment Day – where though their FLESH is JUDGED (implies a Destruction in BODY or SOUL or BOTH), their SPIRIT may be SAVED in the DAY of LORD JESUS CHRIST – where this Particular Day of Lord Jesus Christ refers to the FIRST DAY of the Next Age Post Judgment Day – Yes, eventually HIS MERCY Triumphs Over (and Ends) the afterlife Judgment toward these wicked men too – as it was in the DAYS of NOAH and so it will be in the DAYS of the SON of MAN (SAME Judgment Outcome) – where these ‘spirits in [afterlife] prison’ this time in the ‘afterlife prisons’ in the LAKE of FIRE – will NOT be disobedient anymore since the FIRE burns out all EVIL and SIN from the Natural Body FLESH which was given for this Purpose at their Resurrection of JUDGMENT – Having thereafter being ready with NO SIN and existing only with their SPIRIT post-Lake of FIRE Judgment, these will be given an even lower glory spiritual body to their spirit – in light of the HOPE of the Resurrection of the Dead toward the WICKED too – as apostle Paul PROPHESIED toward this end that ‘in CHRIST ALL MEN (including the wicked too, who died in Adam)’ will be MADE ALIVE – yes, MADE ALIVE refers to the Resurrection of the Dead toward the END Result of LIVING sinless according to God’s Holy Will Who JUSTIFIES the UNGODLY in this Way – where they will ENTER His Kingdom being LEAST there – having NO part in His REIGN but become the lowest citizens of heaven being RULED by the RIGHTEOUS.
For the Wicked, there is an Intermediate Step of Judgment in their Resurrection:
Resurrection of the Dead toward the WICKED —> Resurrected for JUDGMENT (in a NATURAL BODY with a PERISHABLE Flesh of some sort to endure the LAKE of FIRE in order for their SIN and EVIL attached to them to be DESTROYED with it) —-> After their BODY + SOUL (or FLESH which contains all their sins) is DESTROYED, only their SPIRIT remains —> this SPIRIT will be a given an IMPERISHABLE Spiritual Body (which is sinless and cannot be affected by Sin anymore either) —> so, in HOPE that they may LIVE (attain the Resurrection of the Dead’s Will of God) in that they are MADE ALIVE in CHRIST too in the END!
HalleluYAH!
Who are the Wicked?
Those unbelievers who do evil together with wolves in sheep’s clothing who pretended to be believers but are actually members of Satan.
“But JESUS answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, NOT UNDERSTANDING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God. … “But REGADING the RESURRECTION of the DEAD …He is NOT the God of the Dead but of the LIVING.” When the crowds heard this, they were ASTONISHED at HIS TEACHING… [Meaning] … Now He is not the God of the Dead but of the LIVING; for ALL live to Him [eventually].” (Matthew 22:29 – 33, Luke 20:38, NASB)
[emphasis mine for clarity; different Verses to this SAME TOPIC reveal further DETAILS]
Truly:
“Who [God our Saviour] will have ALL MEN to be SAVED, and to COME unto the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH.” (1 Timothy 2:4, KJV)
“For it is FOR THIS we LABOR and STRIVE, because we have FIXED our HOPE on the LIVING God, Who is the SAVIOR of ALL MEN, especially of believers.” (1 Timothy 4:10, NASB)
“[His Love] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
[His] Love never fails… faith, hope, Love, abide these three;
but the GREATEST of these is [His] LOVE” (1 Corinthians 13:7, 8, 13, NASB)
Here is the Secret of His Unfathomable LOVE which is PROPHESIED in light of all these too which we learn from His Apostle John and His Forerunner, another John too (the Baptist):
“In this is LOVE, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the PROPITIATION for our sins;… and He Himself is the PROPITIATION for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the WHOLE WORLD. … Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away [All] the SIN of the WORLD! … We have SEEN and TESTIFY that the Father has sent the Son to be the SAVIOUR of the WORLD.” (1 John 4:10, 1 John 2:2, John 1:29, 1 John 4:14, NASB)
For example: If it’s not all sin (singular) of the World, is it some sin only which will be removed by Christ eventually? Are we going to claim that in front of His Great White Throne One Day?
Do we dare to believe without seeing it? or are we going to believe after seeing it?
“Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the Glory of God?’ And Jesus said to him, ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.’” (John 11:40, Mark 9:23, NASB)
Yes, it is better to believe all these things as it is PROPHETICALLY and MYSTERIOUSLY implied in Holy Scripture even ‘before seeing it’ to be MORE BLESSED, to quote (in Principle):
“Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? BLESSED are they who did NOT SEE, and yet BELIEVED.” (John 20:29, NASB)
Are we too ‘afraid to believe’?
“By this, [His] Love is Perfected with us, so that we may have CONFIDENCE in the DAY of JUDGMENT … There is NO FEAR in Love; but Perfect Love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who FEARS is NOT Perfected in Love.” (1 John 4:17 – 18, NASB)
Why should we Love?
“We love, because He First loved us.” (1 John 4:19, NASB)
P/S: Let’s Repeat the Conclusion above with ‘example’ Verses Attached for Reference
(i) For the RIGHTEOUS having faith in the FAITH of JESUS CHRIST – SHEEPFOLD1
SOUL with SPIRIT is SAVED (1 Peter 1:9, Hebrews 12:23) – by HIS MERCY (Titus 3:5) – the KINGDOM of God begins WITHIN YOU (Luke 17:21) – where we experience SPIRITUAL RENEWAL Within on earth itself DAILY (2 Corinthians 4:16, Ephesians 4:22 – 24) – and upon Death (the NATURAL BODY Dies) or if we are alive when He Returns, we will ENTER His Kingdom LITERALLY too – through the REDEMPTION of the BODY (Romans 8:23) where our SOUL with SPIRIT is given a PERFECTLY IMMORTAL SPIRITUAL BODY (1 Corinthians 15:44) – via the First Resurrection (Revelation 20:4 – 6) – During the First Hour of the Last Day (the ‘Now is’ part refers to this ‘hour’ on this ‘Last Day’ in both John 5:25) just before (Revelation 20:5) the 1000 years Millennial Reign Begins (Revelation 20:6) becoming ‘the GREAT’ (Revelation 19:5) before His Throne (Revelation 20:12) – toward All in sheepfold-1 (John 10:14) – to INHERIT His Kingdom (Romans 8:17, Acts 20:32, Galatians 4:7, 2 Timothy 2:12, Titus 3:7) – Having their Names Written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5, Exodus 32:32) – [the ‘great’ in regards to the ‘Lamb’s Book of Life’ in Revelation 20:12 being part of ‘the living’ and not THE DEAD in front of His Throne, 1 Peter 4:5 as ALL Mankind are gathered here, John 12:32 – yes ONLY the Wicked are THE DEAD mentioned in both Revelation 20:12 and 1 Peter 4:5 – 6 as part of ALL men gathered as Prophesied in John 12:32 for Judgment, after the Devil is cast out into the Lake of Fire First, Revelation 20:10 with John 12:31] – (Revelation 20:11, Acts 17:31), where next on Judgment DAY, after His Millennial Reign has Ended (Revelation 20:7 – 10) – their Works will be REFINED by FIRE into REWARDS (1 Corinthians 3:10 – 13) – and the Second Death cannot harm these in any way (Revelation 20:6) – yes, these will continue with GREATER GLORY becoming KINGS and PRIESTS to REIGN with HIM into the ages of the AGES (Revelation 1:6, Revelation 5:10, 1 Peter 1:4, Daniel 7:18, Revelation 11:15) – and His REIGN will ATTAIN ALL Created Things Eventually (Hebrews 1:2, 1 Corinthians 15:24 – 28, Ephesians 1:9 – 10) and we will be Co-HEIRS with HIM (Ephesians 3:6, Romans 8:17, Revelation 21:7) – where what is obtained (Colossians 1:16 with Colossians 1:20, Daniel 7:27) through His REIGN will be HIS KINGDOM of which there is NO END (Luke 1:33, Isaiah 9:7, Daniel 6:26, Daniel 7:14) – where eventually somewhere at the END of this REIGN (1 Corinthians 15:24), SIN and EVIL will CEASE to EXIST (1 Corinthians 15:25 – 26) and God becomes ALL in All Creation and His KINGDOM Increases with NO END beyond (1 Corinthians 15:27 – 28, 2 Corinthians 3:17 – 18, Psalm 84:7, John 17:22, 2 Corinthians 4:6, 1 John 3:2)!
Who?: Believers who are FAITHFULLY OBEDIENT to His WRITTEN WORD ONLY in both TEACHING (preaching) and DOING (practice). Verses: Hebrews 4:1 – 3, Hebrews 4:10, Hebrews 10:32 – 39, Daniel 12:3 – 4, Daniel 12:13, Revelation 22:3 – 5, Romans 3:26, 2 Timothy 3:12, Acts 14:22). Among these are “… those who have insight will understand” (Daniel 12:10, NASB).
(ii) For the RIGHTEOUS who did NOT believe or FELL from Grace – SHEEPFOLD2
UNSAVED on the earth (John 10:37 – 38, Hebrews 4:11) – Upon Bodily Death, their SOUL with SPIRIT goes to the afterlife Punishment Regions to FACE JUDGMENT (Hebrews 9:27, Psalm 107:10 – 11) – where they receive the level of PAIN and SUFFERING according to what they have done only (Galatians 6:7, Isaiah 3:10 – 11, Psalm 107:12) – Eventually HIS MERCY Triumphs Over (and Ends) the afterlife Judgment (Micah 7:7, James 2:13, Obadiah 1:17, Joel 2:32, Acts 2:21, Zephaniah 3:8 – 9, Psalm 107:13) – where they will ENTER His Kingdom in the afterlife in the lesser regions of the blessed being comforted there (Hebrews 4:6 – 7, John 6:40, John 3:14 – 15, John 10:16, Psalm 107:14, Luke 10:25 – 37, Mark 10:17 – 31) – awaiting the REDEMPTION of their BODY in these afterlife abodes (John 10:16, Micah 7:8 – 9, John 10:9 – 10) – where their SOUL with SPIRIT or SPIRIT ONLY (depending on the Level of Judgment Prior, Matthew 10:28) – will be given a Lesser-Glory Perfect Spiritual Body (1 Corinthians 15:40 – 44) – in the Second Resurrection of the Righteous (Revelation 20:5, Daniel 12:2, John 5:28 – 29) – During the Last Hour of the Last Day (the ‘an hour is coming’ part refers to this ‘last hour’ on this ‘Last Day’ in both John 5:25 and John 5:28 – 29) just after the 1000 years Millennial Reign has ended (Revelation 20:5) – toward All in sheepfold-2 (John 10:16) – becoming ‘the SMALL’ (Revelation 19:5) before His Throne (Revelation 20:12) – to INHERIT His Kingdom (Matthew 25:34, Matthew 5:5, Psalm 37:11) – Having their Names Written in the Lamb’s Book of Life [Isaiah 4:3, the ‘small’ in regards to the ‘Lamb’s Book of Life’ in Revelation 20:12 being part of ‘the living’ and not THE DEAD in front of His Throne, 1 Peter 4:5 as ALL Mankind are gathered here, John 12:32 – yes ONLY the Wicked are THE DEAD mentioned in both Revelation 20:12 and 1 Peter 4:5 – 6 as part of ALL men gathered as Prophesied in John 12:32 for Judgment, after the Devil is cast out into the Lake of Fire First, Revelation 20:10 with John 12:31] – where next on Judgment DAY, after His Millennial Reign has Ended (Revelation 20:7, 11) – their Works will be REFINED by FIRE into REWARDS (1 Corinthians 3:14) – where if anyone’s work among these is BURNT, these will be SAVED even so by FIRE (1 Corinthians 3:15) – thereby having ‘lesser offices’ in His Kingdom (Revelation 21:24 – 27) which are not explicitly written but may be inferred to be less than priests and kings of which they will have NO part (for these positions belong to those of the First Resurrection ONLY) – and REIGN with HIM thereafter to the ages of the AGES too – under us!
Who? The Fallen Believers of LAWLESSNESS (2 Timothy 2:12, Hebrews 4:11) and the RIGHTEOUS from other religions or from among the atheist who did NOT believe in Christ on earth but did ‘Good Works’ (John 10:37 – 38, Romans 2:12 – 16, Romans 2:10 – 11, Matthew 5:20).
These are the “Many will be purged, purified and refined…” (Daniel 12:10, NASB) for when they come to Him (even in the afterlife) and ‘only believe Him after seeing Him’ (John 6:40), He Will not cast them out (John 6:37) but Raise them Up during the Last Day as mentioned prior where the First Resurrection happens at the ‘Now is’ (first hour, John 5:25) of the Last Day toward sheepfold1 while the Second Resurrection to Life toward these (sheepfold2) happens at the ‘an hour is coming’ (last hour, John 5:25, John 5:28 – 29) of this same Last Day where the Millennial Reign for a thousand years occurs between the first and last hours of this Last Day of this current age (AGE1).
Last Day of AGE1 = ‘a first hour’ + 1000 years (Millennial Reign) + ‘a last hour’
Last Day of AGE1 = ‘a first hour’ (an hour ‘Now is’ – the START of the Last Day of AGE1) + 1000 years (Millennial Reign) + ‘a last hour’ (‘an hour is coming’ – to end this Last Day of AGE1)
Yes, some of the righteous among these will be ‘surprised’ that them doing a deed to the least of His Brethren (believers of the past or toward the Jews during the Millennial Reign too, Hebrews 2:11) will be counted a great & as equivalent to doing it to Him on this Day of Judgment proving again that these are the righteous from non-Christian Nations (Matthew 25:34 – 40). Yes, Doing a Good deed toward a Christian or a Jew is considered great and as equivalent to Christ Directly simply because a Christian is His Church (or His BODY) and thus when a Christian BODY receives a good thing, it is considered the same as He Receives it.
(iii) For the Wicked
UNSAVED on the earth – Upon Bodily Death, their SOUL with SPIRIT goes to the afterlife Punishment Regions to FACE JUDGMENT (Psalm 88:3, Luke 16:23) – where they receive the level of PAIN and SUFFERING according to what they have done only (Isaiah 3:11, Galatians 6:7) – Both their BODY and SOUL will eventually be Destroyed in the FIRES of GEHENNA (Hell) – and only their SPIRITS will remain in these afterlife PRISONS in the LAKE of FIRE too together with the spiritual wickedness of the heavens locked in with them in this Lake of Fire – the GOSPEL will be PREACHED to these ‘dead’, i.e. ‘the dead’ who are in their Resurrected NATURAL BODY of SOME PERISHABLE FLESH to ENDURE JUDGMENT in the Lake of Fire on Judgment Day (Revelation 20:15, Psalm 9:5) – whose names are NOT Written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Psalm 69:28, Revelation 13:8, Revelation 17:8) or ERASED from it (Exodus 32:33) – where though their FLESH is JUDGED (implies a Destruction in BODY or SOUL or BOTH, Matthew 10:28), their SPIRIT may be SAVED in the DAY of LORD JESUS CHRIST (1 Corinthians 5:5) – where this Particular Day of Lord Jesus Christ refers to the FIRST DAY of the Next Age Post Judgment Day – Yes, eventually HIS MERCY Triumphs Over (and Ends) the afterlife Judgment toward these wicked men too (James 2:13, Zephaniah 3:8 – 9) – as it was in the DAYS of NOAH and so it will be in the DAYS of the SON of MAN (SAME Judgment Outcome) – where these ‘spirits in [afterlife] prison’ (1 Peter 3:18 – 20) this time in the ‘afterlife prisons’ in the LAKE of FIRE (Revelation 20:11 – 15) together with Satan & his hosts too (Isaiah 24:21 – 22) – will NOT be disobedient anymore (in analogy to the Days of Noah outcome, 1 Peter 3:20) since the FIRE burns out all EVIL and SIN from the Natural Body FLESH which was given for this Purpose at their Resurrection of JUDGMENT (Daniel 12:2, John 5:28 – 29) – Having thereafter being ready with NO SIN and existing only with their SPIRIT post-Lake of FIRE Judgment, these will be given an even lower glory spiritual body to their spirit – in light of the HOPE of the Resurrection of the Dead (1 Corinthians 15:21) toward the WICKED too (Acts 24:15) – as apostle Paul PROPHESIED toward this end that ‘in CHRIST ALL MEN (including the wicked too, who died in Adam)’ will be MADE ALIVE (1 Corinthians 15:22) – yes, MADE ALIVE refers to the Resurrection of the Dead toward the END Result of LIVING sinless according to God’s Holy Will (1 Peter 4:6) Who JUSTIFIES the UNGODLY in this Way (Romans 4:5) – where they will ENTER His Kingdom being LEAST there (Matthew 5:19) – having NO part in His REIGN but become the lowest citizens of heaven being RULED by the RIGHTEOUS.
For the Wicked, there is an Intermediate Step of Judgment in their Resurrection:
Resurrection of the Dead toward the WICKED (1 Corinthians 15:21, 1 Corinthians 15:49, Acts 24:15) —> Resurrected for JUDGMENT (in a NATURAL BODY with a PERISHABLE Flesh of some sort to endure the LAKE of FIRE in order for their SIN and EVIL attached to them to be DESTROYED with it, Daniel 12:2, John 5:28 – 29) —-> After their BODY + SOUL (or FLESH which contains all their sins) is DESTROYED (in Principle of Matthew 10:28), only their SPIRIT remains (1 Peter 3:18 – 20) —> this SPIRIT will be a given an IMPERISHABLE Spiritual Body (which is sinless and cannot be affected by Sin anymore either, 1 Corinthians 15:44) —> so, in HOPE (Acts 24:15) that they may LIVE (attain the Resurrection of the Dead’s Will of God, 1 Corinthians 15:21) in that they are MADE ALIVE in CHRIST too in the END (Psalm 86:13, 1 Corinthians 15:22, Romans 5:18 – 19)!
Who are the Wicked?
Those unbelievers (Luke 12:46) who do evil (2 Timothy 3:2 – 4, Isaiah 59:7, Psalms 5:6) together with wolves in sheep’s clothing (Matthew 7:15) who pretended to be believers (Hebrews 10:26 – 31, 1 Corinthians 3:16 – 17, 2 Corinthians 11:13) but are actually members of Satan (Revelation 2:9, Revelation 3:9, Matthew 12:32, 2 Corinthians 11:14 – 15, John 8:44).
These are the “…but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand…” (Daniel 12:10, NASB) who will be Punished (Romans 2:5 – 9, Matthew 25:41 – 46).
“For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil dwells with You.” (Psalm 5:4, NASB)
This Perfectly correlates with the HOPE for the WICKED too in regards to the ‘Resurrection of the Dead’ (SAME TOPIC linking these verses together) as it is mentioned in Acts 24:15 & 1 Corinthians 15:21 toward the END that ALL MEN (referring to ADAM + the MANY [or rest of Mankind] = ALL MEN, Romans 5:18 – 19) who DIE CONDEMNED due to Adam will be JUSTIFIED to LIFE & Made Righteous FREELY in CHRIST (1 Corinthians 15:22) through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God ONLY (Romans 3:21) by the Faith of Jesus Christ toward ALL (Romans 3:22 – KJV) at the Divine Time of imputation for each of the ALL (1 Timothy 2:6) which JUSTIFIES them FREELY (Romans 3:24) toward ALL who sinned prior (Romans 3:23) causing ALL MEN to be SAVED eventually (1 Timothy 2:4 – KJV) where ‘believers are more special’ (1 Timothy 4:10) all as it is WRITTEN. Can you see the real meaning in these Magnificent Verses?
For the SPIRIT to live to God (1 Peter 4:6) post afterlife Judgment (1 Peter 4:5) till VICTORY is achieved (Matthew 12:20) where HIS MERCY Triumphs (and ends this afterlife-Judgment be it even if it’s the ‘eternal Hell sentence’), —> this afterlife-HOPE (1 Corinthians 15:19) of the Resurrection of the Dead (1 Corinthians 15:21) which includes the Wicked too (Acts 24:15) causes the wicked (or those who ‘broke His Commands’- prior from all Law & Prophets, Context Matthew 5:17 – 18) to also be “IN the Kingdom of the HEAVENS” eventually but ‘least’ (Matthew 5:19) having been MADE ALIVE by CHRIST (1 Corinthians 15:22) according to a SPIRITUAL BODY (1 Corinthians 15:44) which will be given accordingly (1 Corinthians 15:39 – 49) as God WILLS (1 Corinthians 15:38) being the SAVIOUR of ALL MEN (1 Timothy 2:4, John 12:32, Romans 5:18 – 19) especially believers (1 Timothy 4:10).
That is why we need to GIVE THANKS on BEHALF of ALL MEN (including the wicked too) in our PRAYERS and INTERCESSIONS in this direction as God is PERFECTLY GOOD (1 Timothy 2:1).
P/S2: Morning Star – What is the meaning?
“and I will give him the morning star.” – Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 2:28, NASB)
Christ Himself is the Bright Morning Star in whom is Buried all Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge:
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the Root and the Descendant of David, the Bright Morning Star.” (Revelation 22:16, NASB)
“… resulting in a true knowledge of God’s Mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” – apostle Paul (Colossians 2:2 – 3, NASB)
And hence, having the morning star means God Gives a Wisdom to see the Secret or the Mystery of His Will:
“Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; There is no secret that is a match for you.” (Ezekiel 28:3)
So, Christ invites true believers to Learn His Secrets from Him which was Hidden (not Revealed in Past Ages to the sons of men):
“that is, the Mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints,” (Colossians 1:26, NASB)
Example: Please read Colossians 1:16 with Colossians 1:20 as part of the Mystery being referred to in Colossians 1:26 (Consecutive Verses) to ‘Understand this’.
