Eg. I was just thinking now of what John saw. Rev 5:6-10 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the...

I mean once we are in His image, what then? Is that when Jesus returns and in a twinkling of an eye we are completely conformed to His image? If so, then what happens next? And what's the purpose for becoming in His image? Surly God has a purpose for doing this. Any ideas?

So is this the only purpose God chose certain humans and predestined them, to be conformed to the image of his Son''? Or is there more to it?

I'd like to ask, what are we saved for? Why are we redeemed? We are reconciled to God for what purpose? Why are the few chosen and redeemed by Jesus from every tongue, tribe, people and nation?

God's personal invitation to each individual chosen person will be responded to and like Noah they will enter the ark of God, Christ. Those who did not enter the ark did not get that personal direct invitation for the Saviour. The ark wasn't large enough for more that God chose. Just male and...

Yes, purified, reformed, transformed. Then having been redeemed, they will be justified, sanctified and glorified. Then ready for further new roles and to fulfil new purposes predetermined by the incredible Sovereign Creator. Personally I'm loving meditating on Him and His plans for His creations.

Forever. They will be tormented day and night forever = 'aion' = age. This 'aion' we are in atm has been over 2000 years for the purpose of developing and preparing a bride for His Son. The following age will be 1000 years for His Son to establish His kingdom with His Bride. Following that God...

I was thinking just now how the Sovereign Creator has Satan bound and thrown into the abyss. Does Satan eventually break out himself? Or does Someone by their choosing release him so he can go fulfil his next task, to deceive all the nations on planet earth. So yes, pre- assigned.

Absolutely. The Creator before creating had a script from which His thought through plan was carried out. Satan was first imagined, created and controlled by his Creator.

This has been an ongoing revelation that the indwelling Holy Spirit of Truth has given. I'm glad what Jesus promised is continuing to be kept. The Spirit will lead us into all truth. I guess in this case I'm only carrying out the role of a messenger. Again as Jesus said, make disciples. Teach...

Yes, for sure. When I reflected on this role Satan had taken on as God's adversary, I would feel for him. To the point that I prayed that his Sovereign Creator would have mercy on him. I saw that God didn't only allow but created a script which included an adversary. And as this new role was...

All are predestined for Father's kingdom. But not all are chosen to reign as king priests in Jesus preceding kingdom. Yes, all will be saved eventually. But before that only some will enjoy the fantastic experience of joining the President and King on His global mission.

I don't know too much about universalism, so what do you mean by your comment, Universalism proceeds on the premise that all people are as God made them.

Thanks. Again I'd agree to disagree with this guys interpretation. But if 1000 represents a long period then great! The kingdom Jesus is going to establish on earth with His global government is going to be fantastic be it for 900 years, 1200 years. Some tie in Peter's take on 1000 years is...

We may need to agree to disagree on this point. As I am convinced that Jesus requires fellow kings and priests to serve in His upcoming 1000 year kingdom. This global government which will be on His shoulders will be made up of hand picked trained ministers to carry out their specific...

Absolutely. Without a doubt. I am looking forward to this event big time.

I'm certain he will when he experiences it, the loving kindness, forgiveness, redemption and grace of his Creator. Yes, they will be tormented day and night for 'aion = age'. This 'aion' we are in atm has been over 2000 years for the purpose of developing and preparing a bride for His Son. The...

Can spirits who have done evil burn with literal physical fire as they are not physical beings? And humans, the majority of them, do they maintaining a physical body with which their loving sovereign Creator can torture with endless excruciating pain?

I'm certain that those in the lake of fire will be redeemed and reconciled to their Creator.

Thanks for the reminder of the new covenant, the new age of God reconciling the offender to Himself through the blood of His Christ. That includes you and me. Awesome! God's Word made available to us includes what is found in the scriptures and the bibles. I love God and His word regardless of...
