God’s Purposes Revealed by Inspiration
EXECUTIVE JUDGMENT REVEALS GOD’S FATHOMLESS LOVE AND INFINITE WISDOM TO THE WHOLE UNIVERSE (How & Why ‘Calvary is the Tipping Point’ of Eternity Past and Eternity Future)
We resume from last week’s MWM and conclude the full extract here (with all emphasis and bracketed words provided):
“In the final execution of the judgment [conducted in heaven during the millenium, commencing after Christ’s glorious second advent to raise “the dead in Christ”
in ‘the resurrection of the just’] it will be seen that no cause for sin exists.
“When [Christ] the Judge of all the earth shall demand of Satan, ‘WHY HAST THOU REBELLED AGAINST ME, AND ROBBED ME OF THE SUBJECTS OF MY KINGDOM?’ the originator of evil can render no excuse. Every mouth [of fallen angels a wicked men] will be stopped, and all the HOSTS of rebellion will be speechless.
“The CROSS OF CALVARY, while it declares the law immutable, PROCLAIMS TO THE UNIVERSE that the wages of sin is death.
“In the Savior’s expiring cry, ‘IT IS FINISHED,’ THE DEATH KNELL OF SATAN WAS RUNG [!] The great controversy which has been so long on progress [only 6,000 years and no more] was then decided, and the FINAL ERADICATION OF EVIL was made certain [at Calvary’s cross!].
“The Son of God PASSED THROUGH THE PORTALS OF THE TOMB, ‘that THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM that had the power of death, that is, THE DEVIL.’ (Heb. 2: 14, KJV).
“Lucifer’s desire for SELF EXALTATION had led him to say, ‘I will exalt MY THRONE above the stars of God [the angelic host of heaven]. . . . I will be LIKE the Most High.’ God declares, ‘I will bring thee to ASHES upon the earth. . . . and NEVER shalt thou be anymore.’ (Isa. 14: 13, 14; Eze. 28: 18, 19).
“When ‘THE DAY cometh, that shall BURN as an oven. . . . all the PROUD, yea, and all that DO WICKEDLY, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them NEITHER root nor branch.’ (Mal. 4:1).
“The WHOLE UNIVERSE will have become WITNESSES TO THE NATURE AND RESULTS OF SIN. And its utter extermination, which in the beginning would have brought FEAR TO THE ANGELS and DISHONOR TO GOD, will now VINDICATE HIS LOVE AND ESTABLISH HIS HONOR before the universe of beings who delight to DO His will, and in whose HEART is His law.
“NEVER will evil again be manifest. Says the word of God, ‘Affliction shall not rise up the second time’ (Nahum 1:9). The LAW OF GOD, which Satan has reproached as the law of bondage, will be honored as the LAW OF LIBERTY.
“A TESTED AND PROVED CREATION will never again be turned from allegiance to Him whose CHARACTER has been FULLY MANIFESTED before them as FATHOMLESS LOVE and INFINITE WISDOM.”

My only desire and prayer is that all, discarding any preconceived ideas and prejudices, will thoroughly examine and prove its truthfulness by obtaining and reading for themselves the books cited and all the Bible verses provided therein. Thusly, I humbly yet confidently, commit you to the comfort, guidance, and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit and ministry of the holy angels.
Till next MWM, God willing. Bless all, NMF.
