Mike,

Thank you for your response. When will human inhumanity to humans end?

Thanks,

Hi S____,

Outwardly this is the answer:

Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

In other words, man’s inhumanity is a myth. It is man’s humanity that is the problem, and God designed it so to demonstrate that it is of necessity a temporal state and a temporary condition whose end He planned from the beginning:

1Pe 1:20 Who [ Christ and His sacrifice] verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Through Christ and through His Christ, all men will be redeemed from these temporary, sinful, very human, bodies of flesh and blood.

1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

That is accomplished through that thing called a “lake of fire” which will destroy death, and the sin that causes death.

Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

That ‘lake’ is a very small body of water because “many” is defined as the ‘sea’ out of which all flesh arises…:

Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

… and the few who are chosen are that ‘fire’ in that “lake of fire”.

Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

Of these “few” we are told this:

Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isa 33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

The few are at home in the fire because they furnish that ‘fire’ in this way:

Jer 5:14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

So we are all saved by fire:

1Co 3:13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
1Co 3:14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Co 3:15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. [“the lake of fire”]
Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Far be it from me to set dates, but man’s evil treatment of his fellow man will cease only when flesh and blood are annihilated, and death is thereby destroyed “when the thousand years are expired”.

I hope this serves to give you the time line we are given in scripture as well as the hope of the scriptures.

Your brother in Christ,

Mike
