“Man’s Destiny”
Previously, we learned how the system of God works in this world. It doesn’t depends the man’s will or man’s acceptance and rejection, God’s will is purely according to his fixed and final plan. As written;
So, his purpose is exclusive for the chosen people. It means there are two destinies in life; either you belong to eternal or in temporal destiny. Eternal is referred to spiritual life, and even you will die physically the spirit will continue to live in the heaven and there, another fashion of life you will experience. It is like today’s spiritual fellowship to every man, treating one another as brother, sister, mother, father, and friends like the angles. In this manner also would be in the heaven above, the so-called life after death. We can see it when Jesus answered to one of the Sadducees’ question about the life of a married woman in heaven. Read this.
But, in temporal life, the destiny is limited according to the flesh. After the flesh return to dust, the earthly life is ended. It is like a man who felt sleeps and even dreams he could experience nothing. His mind will totally stop at that moment until forever. Thus the Lord says;
An example about this kind of death is the death of Egyptian armies during the time of Moses. As written;
Meaning, the dead Egyptian armies cannot be seen forever unlike the dead chosen people of God because there is resurrection for them spiritually.
Therefore:
God is so good; he did choose many and gave life after death according to his will.

“Man’s Destiny”
Previously, we learned how the system of God works in this world. It doesn’t depends the man’s will or man’s acceptance and rejection, God’s will is purely according to his fixed and final plan. As written;
- Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
- Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
- Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
So, his purpose is exclusive for the chosen people. It means there are two destinies in life; either you belong to eternal or in temporal destiny. Eternal is referred to spiritual life, and even you will die physically the spirit will continue to live in the heaven and there, another fashion of life you will experience. It is like today’s spiritual fellowship to every man, treating one another as brother, sister, mother, father, and friends like the angles. In this manner also would be in the heaven above, the so-called life after death. We can see it when Jesus answered to one of the Sadducees’ question about the life of a married woman in heaven. Read this.
- Luk 20:28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. 31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. 32 Last of all the woman died also. 33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. 34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
But, in temporal life, the destiny is limited according to the flesh. After the flesh return to dust, the earthly life is ended. It is like a man who felt sleeps and even dreams he could experience nothing. His mind will totally stop at that moment until forever. Thus the Lord says;
- Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
An example about this kind of death is the death of Egyptian armies during the time of Moses. As written;
- Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Meaning, the dead Egyptian armies cannot be seen forever unlike the dead chosen people of God because there is resurrection for them spiritually.
Therefore:
God is so good; he did choose many and gave life after death according to his will.
