“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.”(Philippians 2:10-11). I don’t think God will be satisfied and happy until everyone is saved and out of hell and his creation is restored the way he intended for it to be, even before the devil rebelled and sinned. Yes, I am saying that people don’t have to go to hell forever. Some of those verses that say “eternity” actually can be used to refer to a time period. It is like going to jail, it is for a time period, even if it is for life. Eventually the person gets out when they die. Why do you think Jesus went and preached to the spirits in hell in prison for those three days and nights, when his body was in the tomb? He went to give them another chance to be saved and get out. “By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison.”(I Peter 3:19).“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”( Matthew 12:40). When he resurrected from the grave and death, he took those who received him with him from hell. If you’re saved you don’t have to worry about going to hell, although some day the Lord might ask you to go there on a mission trip to witness to people there. Do not worry he will not send you by yourself. Why would anyone want to stay there if they had a chance to get out? Maybe they have learned their lesson and are ready to receive Jesus, and get saved. God knows when the right time for everyone is, even the people in hell. He is ever merciful, and I believe that Judas who betrayed him got saved when he realized what he had done. What do you think? “The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”(II Peter 3:9). “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23). Did you know that in Psalms 136 the Bible says 26 times,”His mercy endures forever.” (Psalm 136:1-26).
