The Swear of Allegiance by All Eventually

God Has Sworn A Return To Him

Verses:

“Isaiah 45:22-23 Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.

By Myself I have sworn, Gone out from my mouth in righteousness has a word, And it doesn’t turn back, That to Me, every knee will bow, every tongue will swear.”

Questions to consider:

What will they swear? And for what?

Reply:

They “swear allegiance” to “Him” because it’s implied by the next verse 24 as follows:

“Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to Him shall men come; and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed.” (Isaiah 45:24)

*Swearing Allegiance = In The Lord, I have Righteousness & Strength (He “Saves” us by “His Righteousness”, not ours marking ‘Salvation’, e.g. 1 Corinthians 1:30, Romans 3:24, Titus 3:5).

How do we know that the ‘outcome’ of such a ‘swearing of Allegiance’ leads to ‘Salvation’?

Verse 22 clearly marks God’s Invitation that by “turning to Him” (marked by the “Swearing” of Allegiance toward “Him”) leads one to “Be saved” as it’s written too:

“Turn to Me and be saved,…” (Isaiah 45:22)

That is, they “turn to Him” by “Swearing to Him” causing them to “Be Saved”.

That’s what is written agreeing to Universal Reconciliation & New Testament verses which depict the prophecy clearly to also mean Declaring “Jesus is Lord” and “bringing Glory to the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11).

This must imply Universal Reconciliation because “one” cannot declare “Jesus is Lord” (in truth) unless they are guided by the “Holy Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:3) Who is only “sealed” upon a person ‘when they are Saved’ (Ephesians 1:13).

The Holy Spirit doesn’t work in ‘unsaved ones’ and a “forced confession” does “not” bring “Glory to God The Father”. So, it’s a promise of Universal Reconciliation when both Old Testament & New Testament part of this “same” Declaration which He has Sworn ‘comes to pass’ for ‘every creature’ that “can confess” —> “rational creatures” —> thereby causing them to “Be Saved”.

Indeed, Blessed Saviour of the World

P/S:

The ‘wrong’ common excuse by ‘eternal Hell theologians’ that the “confession Jesus is Lord” above is ‘forced’ doesn’t stand based on the reasons given above (with Scripture).

Their “forced confession” excuse doesn’t have any verse stating toward it (just their false opinion) as opposed to verses above which agree.

Best still, the “forced confession” excuse also plainly “contradicts” such theologians’ best excuse that “God doesn’t force anything” (the ‘free will’ misunderstanding).
