Subject: Death God's friend or enemy? |
Bible Note: You hit the nail on the head - "it wasn't his plan for us to die." That's why he hates death - it is a product of sin, of Satan himself. (John 8:44; Heb 2:14) Thankfully, he is not someone that let's rebellious creatures ruin his purposes. The heavens belong to him, but he has given the earth to men. (Ps 115:16) Faithful men, that is, of course. Like an owner of a multi-family building, he will evict the bad tenants for the sake of his worshipers. (Prov 2:21-22; Psalm 37:10-11,29; Matt 5:5; 2 Pet 3:7) What he created was very good and in the "regeneration" or renewal of everything stained by sin (new age, the Messianic rebirth of the world, Amplified)we will be overwhelmed by the contrast to this world in the power of the wicked one. (Matt 19:28; 1 John 5:19) |
