How truly just is our Heavenly Father? Not only did He offer His only begotten Son to redeem us from our sins, but He went even further. There were souls who had passed away and resided on the left side of the gulf before Jesus’ crucifixion. When Jesus lay in the tomb, He went to those who had been separated since the dawn of humanity. He preached to them, extending a singular opportunity to repent and cross over to the right side of the gulf. This was their only chance. If they rejected Him at that moment, they would have to endure the millennium.
God, in His boundless love, also gave us His guiding word, the Holy Bible, to teach us how to live in accordance with His will and lead fulfilling lives.
Even after all this, following the millennium, if they still choose to align with Satan rather than Jesus, they rightfully face the Lake of Fire. The truth is, we don’t want to go through this again.
Let us not forget that it was the followers of Satan who influenced the crowd by crying out, “Crucify Him.” Yet, despite their actions, God’s love endures. Regardless of whether someone is a saint, a sinner, or even a follower of Satan, if they genuinely repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, God will welcome them home with open arms.
At the end of the millennium, Satan will be released for a brief time to test those whose faith remains unsteady. Following this, God’s final judgment will take place. Those who served Him faithfully will receive His righteous reward, while those who reject Him will be cast into the Lake of Fire and erased from existence.
After this ultimate judgment, when Satan and his followers are blotted out, the Lake of Fire will vanish. This marks the dawn of the final Heaven and Earth Age, where God will dwell among us.
Where God resides, there too is Heaven. Heaven will manifest on Earth. The world will return to its intended state, with no seas, as the waters will be restored to the firmament. In this renewed creation, beauty will reign, and God’s light will illuminate all.
For those interested in deepening their Bible study, consider exploring the structures and events of the final Heaven and Earth Age. This includes God’s magnificent temple, described as a perfect cube measuring 1,500 miles in every direction. Discover the significance of its doorways and the extraordinary wonders that will unfold.
Above all, embrace faith in the Holy Trinity and remember this important truth: for those who have reached the age of accountability and have been baptized, repentance is essential. We all sin daily, but through belief in Jesus and baptism, we are called to continually repent of our sins. By doing so, we can approach the Kingdom of Heaven with a clean slate.
