“AS IF FROM ME”,

I want to start off by saying that I have had to do some major revamping of some things with the technical advice from the tech dept. at some social networks. Bottom line is I have a much more secure system and way of doing things. I am in the final stages of this project and will be back to normal soon.
I need to let everyone know that SOMEONE HACKED INTO some of my accounts and somehow have been able to send different types of messages “AS IF FROM ME”, even using my picture, account name and all – with links in the messages that I would not advise you click on. If you have gotten a message of any kind that doesn’t seem to be characteristic of me or my ministry it is because IT WAS NOT ME. There were NO VIRUSES ATTACHED to the messages; but I don’t know about the links. My spyware and antivirus popped up a warning when I tried to check one out to see what it was.

Some people do not like THE VICTORIOUS GOSPEL I am so thoroughly and irrefutably sharing through so many avenues, resources and methods. They cannot refute what I say in open debate so they are maliciously working behind the scenes to try and ruin my social networks, PC’s, and my reputation. Which shows their true character by the way.

This is just a sign that my ministry is doing well and its purpose is being  accomplished. Sometimes we have to really annoy someone to get their full attention. Looks like I got it…. “IT’S ALL GOOD!”

A car that IS NOT MOVING, is not likely to get dirty or to come upon someone going the opposing direction.
Swimming downstream is still much easier even when "YOU KNOW" the treasure is upstream……

Romans 11:25 – “MYSTERY OF THE FAITH”

Technorati Tags: Universal Salvation Bible Verses

 

Romans 11:25 (NLT) I want you to understand “THIS MYSTERY”, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the “FULL NUMBER” of Gentiles “COMES TO CHRIST.”

The original here just says “comes in” but “comes to Christ” is quite obviously implied by the context.

“THIS MYSTERY” this has been a secret held in the mind of GOD until it is revealed to whoever He chooses to reveal it. It is in Strong’s Greek No: 3466 – Transliterated: musterion – 1. hidden thing, secret, mystery

a. generally mysteries, religious secrets, confided only to the initiated and not to ordinary mortals

b. a hidden or secret thing, not obvious to the understanding

The KJV has “fullness” here, it comes from a Greek word that means “the whole amount” or “complete number” it is the same word used in Psalms where it says “The earth is the Lords and the “FULLNESS” thereof. Psalms 24:1; also 50:12; 1Cor 10:26,28 and in other contexts John 1:16; Eph. 3:19; Col. 2:9. There are many other references showing the word means “ALL”

“FULL NUMBER” of “FULLNESS” in the KJV comes from Strongs Greek No. 4138 plērōma; “A FULLNESS OR FILLING UP”:— ALL…CONTAINS. It is from 4137 plēroō; and it means “to MAKE FULL, COMPLETE, OR COMPLETELY ACCOMPLISH”

So, this says that “ALL” the “Nations” Gentiles, that is all people other than Israel WILL COME TO CHRIST!  That is the hidden mystery that had not been known. But hang on Israel is coming too!

Therefore it is really no wonder that many do not understand the truth of the predetermined plan and purpose of GOD to save the whole world through Christ, who IS the SAVIOR of the WORLD. (Jhn 4:42; 1Jhn 4:14) Because this particular truth is “HIDDEN” from the minds of people until GOD decides it is time to reveal it to them. Don’t try to feed a baby steak; he will choke on it. The bible says “each one comes in his own “ORDER” 1Cor 15:23. There is an order to GOD’S plan. This is totally up to GOD in His Sovereign timing and infinite wisdom and love of ALL. ALL will come to GOD through Christ, but it is up to Him when and how they come.

Then again, you didn’t think GOD set himself up to lose almost everyone, be defeated by a devil, and fail in His own creation, did you? Nope, He’s the winner…, He takes “ALL”…. After all, He is GOD….

Thomas, R. L. (1998, 1981). New American Standard Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek dictionaries : Updated edition (H8674). Anaheim: Foundation Publications, Inc.

Romans 15:12 ; Isaiah 11:10 – ALL NATIONS COME TO JESUS!

Romans 15:12 (NLT) And in another place Isaiah said, “The heir to David’s throne* will come, and he will rule over =>THE GENTILES<= "THEY WILL" place their hope on him.” (BELIEVE ON, AND TRUST HIM) = BE SAVED!

"GENTILES" Greek word 1. ethnos (1484), whence Eng., “heathen,” denotes, firstly, “A MULTITUDE"
Vine, W. E., Unger, M. F., & White, W. (1996). Vine’s complete expository dictionary of Old and New Testament words (2:262). Nashville: T. Nelson.

“GENTILES” —  (Heb., usually in plural, goyim), meaning in general "ALL NATIONS" EXCEPT THE JEWS"
Easton, M. (1996, c1897). Easton’s Bible dictionary. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc

So this prophecy from Isaiah is confirmed in the New Testament in Romans that this "GREAT MULTITUDE" even "ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD” OTHER THAN JEWS WILL PUT THEIR TRUST IN THE SAVIOR JESUS "the heir to David’s throne"

In another scripture I will share later; it says that "ALL" of Israel will be saved. That my friend makes up "ALL THE WORLD" – SAVED! Which would agree with the context of Isaiah where this verse is taken from, where in the verse just prior to this one it says.

"Isaiah 11:10 (NLT)  In that day the heir to David’s throne will be a banner of "SALVATION TO ALL THE WORLD". The "NATIONS WILL RALLY TO HIM"”

Here in Romans it is further clarified that this salvation to all the world is accomplished or completed, when the nations rally or come to him, they will "put there hope, trust, or faith in Him" completing the prophecy of the redemptive purpose of God in Christ.

Isaiah 11:9 – “WE’RE ALL COVERED”

 

v Isaiah 11:9b (KJV) for “the earth” shall “be full” of the knowledge of the LORD, “as” the waters cover the sea.

v Isaiah 11:9 (God’s Word) “The world” will “be filled” with the knowledge of the Lord “like” water covering the sea.

v Isaiah 11:9b (The Message) “The whole earth” will “be brimming” with knowing God-Alive,  a “living knowledge of God” ocean-deep, ocean-wide.

v Isaiah 11:9 (CEV) “Just as” water fills the sea, the land will “be filled” with people who “know” and “honor” the LORD.

v Isaiah 11:9 (NLT)

           for as the waters fill the sea,

                                   so “the earth”

                                   will be “filled”

                                  with people

                                  who know the Lord

 

I chose the “King James Version” for the first reference to this verse because it is so widely accepted as “The” Bible. Although if you used the “original 1611 KJV” you would find it very hard to read as not only words have changed their meaning but even letters also. So the original bible many think they have is not so original. With a little research you would find that much of the KJV is even a copy of some earlier bibles. I said that to say, we would do well to use all the available resources we have to get an accurate understanding of the word of God; which actually cannot be bound by a leather cover.

Looking at this section of scripture from various angles gives us a very clear understanding of what is really being said here; and it is absolutely glorious as the very next verse says.

First we see that it is agreed by many translations considering the context that we are talking about the “WHOLE EARTH OR WORLD”

Then we see that the whole world is to be “FILLED” with something. Now to fill something you are saying that whatever it is filled with occupies the entire space or area; the whole thing.

So we have “THE ENTIRE EARTH” is to be “FILLED” with “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD” or “ALL THE PEOPLED” (FULL AMOUNT) In the world or earth will have this “knowledge of the LORD”.

What kind of knowledge or knowing are we talking about here. We need to dig a little deeper to find out. The word used here for “knowledge” is  דֵּעָה (dē∙ʿā(h)); in the “Louw-Nida Greek-English Lexicon” it says of this word in this context  “knowledge, i.e., information about a person, with a focus on the relationship with that person (Isa 11:9+)” So this text is saying that “ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WILL HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD” through this knowledge of Him!

Now just so we would know for sure just how complete this will be the Lord gives us an illustration to clarify our thinking so that there will be no misunderstanding about what He means by this. The illustration is by comparison, and is this: The earth will be “AS FULL” of people having a relationship with him through this knowledge of Him (in today’s language we would also say “they are saved”) “AS THE SEA IS FULL OR COVERED WITH WATER”. Well now, just how much water is in the sea? Or, how much of it is covered with water? I think any sober minded person would have to say “ALL OF IT”.

It takes a lot of filing to get through the calloused religious mind  with which we have ALL been hypnotizes; by swinging the pendulum of their false ideas and doctrines of God and the bible in front of our eyes all our lives. This is not easy to get over, and you won’t do it in a day; let me tell you by experience.

But now we can obviously see that “GOD” is saying “IN THE BIBLE” that “ALL PEOPLE  IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL HAVE A SAVING RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM” not just some chosen few as is widely taught by religion.

Jeremiah 31:34 “ALL WILL KNOW THE LORD”

Jeremiah 31:31-34 (TNIV)  "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT” with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.  (32)  It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them," declares the LORD.  (33)  "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.  (34)  NO LONGER will they teach their neighbors, or say to one another, ‘Know the LORD,’ because “THEY WILL “ALL” KNOW ME”, from the LEAST of them to the GREATEST," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE." (The Greek word for “know” here is used in a variety of ways, but here it is used to refer to a very intimate relationship with someone. It is the word used many times for a husband and wife having sexual relations; so it is a very strong relational word – not just head knowledge)

Most any Christian Church will teach these verses in Sunday School classes and from the pulpit as referring to all the world coming into a “New Covenant” with God through Christ, and they can “Trust Christ to forgive their sin” believing what these verses say and how they are referred to in the New Testament. However when you ask them about verse 34 and say “then, this is saying “ALL” will know the Lord” isn’t it? They will quickly tell you “Oh no, that is only speaking of Israel and Judah” quickly and conveniently changing their interpretation of this passage according to the question you ask to protect their doctrine of selective salvation, while unknowingly (for the most of them, I think) hiding the truth.

Isn’t it a little double-tongued (a serpent has one of those) to say that verse 31 speaking of the “New Covenant” was not just referring to Israel and Judah; but was referring to ALL mankind coming into a new covenant with God. Then turn around and say verse 34 is only referring to Israel and Judah and that it is not referring to “ALL” mankind. This double-minded answer is exactly what I am told by the challengers of the doctrine of Universal Reconciliation. Also many books and commentaries written by highly honored scholars in biblical studies will say this also (while secretly knowing better). This is plain, simple common sense; If “THEY WILL ALL KNOW ME” in verse 34 is not referring to all mankind but only Israel and Judah; then “ALL MANKIND” are not under “THE NEW COVENANT” referred to in verse31 and the rest of the worlds peoples are still under the law, and the blood of Jesus did nothing for them and they are not forgiven and still in their sin. Then only Israel and Judah were covered by the blood of “THE NEW COVENANT”. If we would follow this logic, this is the conclusion we would have to come to. Either this passage is referring to “ALL HUMANITY” or all humanity is not covered by the new covenant or the blood of Jesus. You cant have both interpretations in the same passage and reverse meanings according to the question. These scriptures are a unit, all part of the same topic –  i.e. “God making a new covenant”. Now this is either only referring to Israel and Judah or it is referring to all mankind; it cannot be separated and still make any kind of sense as a whole. I hear the opponents shouting Context, Context, Context! all the time. OK, let’s keep it in “CONTEXT”…… Are “WE ALL” under a New Covenant or not? If so, then verse 34 is saying “WE WILL –“ALL”- KNOW THE LORD” (have an intimate understanding relationship with the Lord)

2Co 11:3-4 (WEB)  But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.  (4)  For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different "good news"(Gospel), which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.

The serpent spoke lies about God’s word changing its meaning.

Belief in Christ is simple or single – “This Jesus” is the savior of ALL the world. Jhn 1:29-34; 3:16-17; 4:42 12:32 – Mat 16:15-18 – 1Jhn 4:14

When the disciples wanted to call down fire on some that did not believe like them Jesus said to them Luk 9:55-56 WEB  But he turned and rebuked them, "You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.  (56)  For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them."

Albeit many preachers and teachers of the bible teach and preach with fervor and great animation, a gospel (good news) that puts most of the people living in the world today and ninety percent of all who lived in the past into a eternal burning Hell with no hope of relief or salvation. Which is not good news for the world at all; but is bad news for most of the people who have lived or ever will live on this planet. Because according to their teaching of the bible and the requirements they put on salvation; most will spend eternity in a fiery Hell. That my friends is NOT GOOD NEWS – but “ANOTHER GOSPEL” which is no gospel at all.

Rev 21:5 “ALL THINGS NEW”

 

Rev 21:5 And He who sits on the throne said,

"Behold, I am making "ALL THINGS NEW"

 

Notice this says “Make-ing” The word in the original is in the Present Tense in the Indicative Mood – represents contemporaneous action, as opposed to action in the past or the future. In moods other than in the indicative mood, it refers only to continuous or repeated action. This speaks of an “ongoing” event – not a one time thing as most have “assumed”

What does "ALL THINGS" not include?

Would not “ALL THINGS” include ALL people? ALL spirits? Try to broaden your thinking a little bit when you read things that GOD says; He is concerned with more than just our little family, nation, religion, dimension, and realm in which we live and have our consciences. When He speaks, He speaks from an infinite realm beyond our comprehension.

When something stops growing, renewing, refreshing, and revitalizing it is dead. So are the outdated stagnate doctrines that have kept God in a box…… It is totally illogical to accept new understanding, knowledge, perceptions and insights of everything from medical, historical, geographical, to technological things. Then have the arrogant audacity to think we already know everything there is to know about God and reject any “new revelation” as false doctrine and heretical. Yeah, and the sun revolves around the earth, and the world is flat too…….

Ephesians 4:10 “ FILL UP ! ”

Eph 4:10 (King James Version 1611) He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might FILL “ALL” THINGS.

 

Eph 4:10 (Jewish New Testament) The one who went down is himself the one who also went up far above all of heaven in order to FILL ALL things

 

Ephesians 4:10 (The Living Bible) The same one who came down is the one who went back up, that he might FILL ALL THINGS EVERYWHERE WITH HIMSELF, from the VERY LOWEST to the VERY HIGHEST

 

Eph 4:10 (Bible in Basic English) He who went down is the same who went up far over ALL the heavens so that he might MAKE ALL THINGS COMPLETE. (whole)

In “John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible” says “The Arabic version renders it, "that he might fill all creatures"

In “William Barclay’s Daily Study Bible” speaking of Eph 4:1-10 and the purpose of these scriptures he says “the Church is to fulfill her great task of being Christ’s instrument of universal reconciliation between man and man, and man and God within the world”.

Whoever you are, wherever you are now; say "The Spirit of Christ has filled me with His presence and made me completely and complexly whole" And the Lord will, as the apostle Peter put it in his first sermon, speaking of God pouring out His Spirit on “ALL” flesh or mankind in Acts 2:28 “You will make me full of gladness with your presence”. David in Psalms 23:5 says his cup is completely full, even to running over! And so are we when we become aware of the presence of the Lord in us and in ALL. There is peace and grace and love within us and with others; that without this knowledge is impossible to experience. First I believed in my mind that these scriptures are true and accepted the fact that the Spirit of Christ fills me. Then mysteriously I began to know these scriptures are true, and so I also affirm "The Spirit of Christ has filled me with His presence and made me completely and complexly whole" PRAISE GOD!  This is a sacred secret; a mystery, God is revealing and will have to be known to the nations, the sacred secret and mystery is CHRIST IN YOU  ALL Col 1:27

Isa 45:24 Angry at God?

Isa 45:24 “SURELY”, shall one say, in the LORD “I HAVE RIGHTEOUSNESS” and strength: even "ALL" those who raged against Him "WILL COME" to Him ashamed of their unbelief – (IN GOD’S SAVING POWER)

This verse is a continuation of where we left off last in Isa. Chapter 45 verse 23 saying “EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tongue confess or give their allegiance to God”. This verse is saying even those “who raged against, or were angry at God will come” which would include the atheist, and agnostics. It is saying there is a “SURE” time coming when even ALL these will say “in the LORD, I HAVE RIGHTEOUSNESS” and will believe, making it possible to be ashamed of their unbelief. It also includes those who had been hurt by the church that condemned them every time they turned around or tried to be honest about their thoughts, lives, habits, and feelings and so; had turned against God in anger and unbelief in His goodness, desire or ability to save sinners like us. Because this unconditional love is not what they had seen in the so called Christians they had known. And they certainly had not seen any “unconditional” love or grace from the supposed leaders of these churches who were apparently perfect in all their ways…..So giving up on such a high standard for acceptance; these turned from church to the world where at least they would be understood and accepted; and could have an honest conversation with someone without fearing being shunned afterwards because of their weaknesses or imperfections.

This self-righteous crew of clergy has brought more condemnation in the hearts and minds of the people, than they have the Grace and Love of God. “God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world” Jhn 3:17; Bringing the Love of God and Forgiveness of sins through Christ Jesus. Let the Spirit of God finish the work from the inside; don’t try to do it in the flesh on the outside – this never works and is void of any power. The Spirit of God and Christ on the other hand has all the power of the universe at His disposal. So think again the next time you see someone who has seemingly turned their back on God to the point of disbelieving anything about God at all and living as if they were angry at the world. God here says He has a plan for them also – eventually they will come.

Peace, Grace, and Love to you,

Rev. Dennis D. Caldwell

Isa 45:22-23 – GOD SWEARS

Isa 45:22-23 (NIV) "Turn to me and BE SAVED, “ALL” you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I HAVE SWORN, my mouth has uttered in all integrity A WORD THAT WILL NOT BE REVOKED: Before me EVERY KNEE WILL BOW; by me EVERY TONGUE will swear (allegiance & give praise)

This irrevocable promise of GOD is repeated twice in the New Testament in Rom. 14:11 and Php 2:10-11.  confirming this unmistakable, clear promise of ultimate Universal Salvation and Reconciliation with GOD.

What we have here is a “COMMAND” from the Almighty Who holds all power, authority, time and eternity in his hand. GOD says “ TURN TO ME AND BE SAVED! ALL YOU ENDS OF THE EARTH” He did not say “I wish they would all get saved even to the ends of the earth”. In the very beginning of creation GOD said “LIGHT BE! AND LIGHT WAS” this is a literal translation of Gen. 1:3 the word “let” is not actually there.  When The Almighty Speaks or commands a word it is done. So it is as good as a to have been sworn or or promised. The scripture here goes on to make this clear with GOD saying He had Sworn this and it would not be revoked. The LORD goes on to specify how this will take place.  “EVERY” KNEE WILL BOW AND “EVERY” TONGUE WILL CONFESS AND SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO HIM” Now whether this is literal or metaphorical you decide for yourself – either way, “IT WILL” take place with the same results. It might as well be written in stone; it is good as done; THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HAS SPOKEN!

Speaking of the surety of the word and promises of God concerning our salvation through Jesus the writer of Hebrews in the New Testament also says:

                                                         Heb 6:17-20 NIrV  So God took an oath when he made his promise. He wanted to make it very clear that his purpose does not change. He wanted those who would receive what was promised to know that.  (18)  God took an oath so we would have good reason not to give up. We have run away from everything else to take hold of the hope offered to us in God’s promise. So God gave his promise and his oath. Those two things can’t change. He couldn’t lie about them.  (19)  Our hope is certain. It is something for the soul to hold on to. It is strong and secure. It goes all the way into the Most Holy Room behind the curtain.  (20)  That is where Jesus has gone. He went there to open the way ahead of us. He has become a high priest forever, just like Melchizedek.

This promise and oath of GOD is that ALL WILL COME TO SUBMIT TO HIM AND HIS KINGDOM eventually; either in this life or in the ages to come after we cross over to the next phase of our journey home. Where our Heavenly Father is patiently waiting for us to come to our senses, leave the pig pen of doubt and self degradation. Father is eagerly watching for the first glimpse of our coming toward Him so that He can run to greet us home. Father knows “WE WILL” eventually come. Because in His love, providence, Grace He is working behind the scenes to be sure this will come about – He promised on oath; and God cannot lie.

If traditional theology is correct in teaching an exclusive Gospel that excludes most of humanity from a relationship and eternity with God on the basis of their not “getting saved” according to their particular formula in this life. If we must follow any of the formulas, catechisms or doctrines of any denomination; it would be impossible for most of the human race throughout the many past ages to have known these teachings. Therefore most of humanity will be lost to an eternal hell for no fault of their own, according to the teachings of most traditional theology. This is a blatant denial of the clear teaching of the above verses and promise of God.

Why would God; knowing all things, command all to look to him and be saved if he knew there would be billions that never would? Even the thought is absurd and illogical!

Through these scriptures GOD is revealing His benevolent redemptive purpose and plan for ALL MANKIND; which is bringing ALL into his eternal kingdom and royal family as the Loving Heavenly Father of ALL.

Peace, Grace, and Love to you,
