I <strong>AM</strong> : M. M. Ninan<br />
your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the<br />
world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty<br />
and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me<br />
in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after<br />
me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'<br />
Mat 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you<br />
who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.<br />
They were not asked the question whether they believed in Jesus or<br />
not. These righteous inherited the earth, while the redeemed<br />
entered into their rest already. The implication is that they were<br />
eventually added into the redeemed through certainly the blood of<br />
Jesus.<br />
When God counts iniquity, can anyone stand? For the ultimate<br />
redemption of the material universe to happen all evil must be<br />
removed from this universe. As long as evil men are there in this<br />
universe this cannot be achieved. Hence, the solution proposed in<br />
the Bible is to remove them into another universe - Hades. It is<br />
across the bottomless pit - the blackhole. It opens up into another<br />
universe filled with the concentrated evil men from this world.<br />
They still have life, with a decaying body. They have willed it<br />
themselves. This is the second death.<br />
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first<br />
resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be<br />
priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.<br />
Rev 20:14-15 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.<br />
The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found<br />
written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.<br />
