The punishment of the Father of all fathers is not merely correction: it is correction that improves, changes, transforms for the better.
Our God punishes with an objective in view, not as an end in itself!
There are dual aspects to our Father's Realm as shown in the following...
Tamiym/ 'ymt means to be consumed, destroyed, exhausted and spent, but also to be finished and made sound.
Kalal has the same meaning, linking destruction, being spent, exhausted, as well as to be finished and made sound.
Tamam, the root word of Tamiym means to be finished, complete, summed up, made whole: linked with to be consumed, exhausted, spent and destroyed.
Shalam/ ~IX, another expression of destruction, has the scope of being finished and ended, made good or whole, & being made sound, coupled with to be restored.
Shebar, rooted in Shabar, means breakout, and being brought to birth; and underlying new birth and breakout? To be crushed and broken. Again there is dual meaning in our Lord's words of destruction and re-creation.
Chalowph
The destructive Hebrew word Chalowph is rooted in being altered, renewed, changed, and to sprout again. It should also be noted that this is not just change, but change for the better.
"What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath–prepared for destruction." Romans 9:22
Fitted/ Prepared=katartivzw
Katartivzw=

Dr. Marvin Vincent

“ei de qelwn o qeoV endeixasqai thn orghn kai gnwrisai to dunaton autou hnegken en pollh makroqumia skeuh orghV kathrtismena eiV apwleian”
Romans 9:22 - What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?
Good to see you posting again FL! :dsunny:
Dear Rose: The stupids at yahoo were making it impossible to get back in the groove, but thanks to our own Karen the way was opened. I do feel the call of the other side getting stronger every day but will testify of Him while all toes remain here.
The 2nd Death
"Orthodox theology holds the second death to be a state of endless torment in which the sufferers are held forever in conscious being by a continuous act of Divine preservation, with the soul object of a punishment without end. This however would in no sense be death. The second death does not perpetuate the hopeless condition of the sinner to all eternity.
What the Holy Spirit means by 'fire and brimstone' is 'divine purification,' or a judgment fire which consumes all that is antagonistic to divine law and love.
Before the Great White Throne, that vast throng, their naked spirits conscious now of the blazing holiness of God, will be subjected to the process of the second death. What those processes are, their intensity and their duration, we are not told. They will suffice, however, not in themselves to perfect, but to bring those who suffer them to that agreement with the judgment upon sin which they effect, and through the cross finally to reconcile them to God (Col. 1:20), in a subjection where He will be 'All in all.' When that acquiescence in judgment upon sin is reached, and applied in soul and spirit, then will be possible the final victory over death. Hence it is written that when this subjection is reached, then and only then, 'the last enemy, death, shall be destroyed.' " -A. E. Saxby
From Him the all, thru Him the all, in Him the all
ta panta= the all
:2c: I hardly think He that tells us to clothe the naked,will not do so Himself.Didn't Jesus tell us that Father puts the best
robe on the prodigal when he returns home?My son,which was dead..is alive!! some don't have enough oil of joy of the Father to rejoice
with Him when their spirits return.THE BEST[BETTER RESURRECTION] ROBE,really.
Satan is still intent on ruling over the 'stars'of heaven[or resurrected sons of God]and continues to slander celestial bodies.
But,satan is thrown out of heaven..and will not rise again...he shall die like the man[ofsin] that he is. The LOF,true death is
prepared for him and his demons,Just like Jesus said.He appears again,seperate from sin..and seperates men from the demons...
I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY..men recieve the Kingdom prepared for them..and satan and his the LOF prepared for
them. He shall clothe ALL men in clean white linen. :girlheart:

Dear Sheila: The One who refuses to allow leftover pieces of bread and fish to to be lost, loses nothing.
