Page 60 - Gods Plan of the Ages

David reveals in these words that man is not as merciful as Yahweh. The attitude of
the elder brother to the prodigal has ever been present in the hearts of men. Is it any
wonder that Christians today fall short of the mercy of God, proclaiming that those under
God's wrath must endure eternal torments, never to be reconciled to Him. Nevertheless, the
testimony of Scripture is certain. Yahweh will restore all things to Himself through Christ.
When we rightly divide the word of God we find that Yahshua's work of reconciliation
does extend beyond the grave. Those in the tombs must hear His voice. Christ descended
into Hell and preached to the captives held since the days of Noah. Yahshua is Lord of both
the living and the dead.
Did not Christ call Lazarus forth from the grave? So too will He call out to many who
have perished and been buried. Those in the grave will hear His voice. Before the reign of
Christ is fulfilled all who are "under the earth" will join in confession and worship of God.
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Yahshua Christ is Lord; Lord of both the
living and the dead.
