WHAT ON EARTH IS LIFE ALL ABOUT?
God is a Godhead.
The word Godhead implies co-equality of more than one Person as God.
This Godhead exists as three separate Persons.
These three Persons can be referred to as follows: First Person, Second Person, Third Person.
The First Person as known as the Father (G/F).
The Second Person is known as the Son (G/S).
The Third Person is known as the Holy Spirit (G/HS).
There has never been a time when this Godhead did not exist.
The First Person of the Godhead (G/F) developed a plan.
This plan included the creation of a universe, angels, animals, and man.
The Second Person of the Godhead (G/S) created everything.
The Second Person (G/S) first created the universe.
The Second Person (G/S) later created angels in the condition of righteousness..
Lucifer, an angel, revolted against the Godhead.
Lucifer lost his righteous condition as a consequence of his rebellion.
One third of the angels followed after Lucifer.
One third of the angels lost their righteous condition as a consequence of following after Lucifer.
God (G/F) offered a form of salvation to the fallen angels.
This offer was extended to all fallen angels for an unknown period of time.
The fallen angels rejected the offer of salvation.
God (G/F) terminated the offer of salvation to the fallen angels.
God (G/F) judged Lucifer and the angels that followed him.
God (G/F) found the fallen angels guilty of rebellion.
God (G/F) sentenced the fallen angels to an eternal lake of fire.
Lucifer appealed to God (G/F) by raising objections to his sentence.
God (G/F), in His justice, considered Lucifer's objections.
God (G/F) ordered the creation of man to resolve the objections set forth in Lucifer's appeal.
To resolve Lucifer's objections God (G/F) ordered the creation of one man on one planet, earth.
God (G/S) created man lower than the angels.
God (G/S) created man with volition.
God has a plan for man whom He created.
With his volition, man can choose for or against God's (G/F) plan.
Whether some men choose against God's (G/F) plan does not vindicate Lucifer.
That some men choose for God's (G/F) plan vindicates God.
The issue related to Lucifer's appeal: (don't miss what follows!!)
If man, created lower than the angels, makes choices for God's (G/F) plan,
Certainly an angel created higher than man could have chosen for God's (G/F) plan, but didn't,
Therefore, because some men choose for God's (G/F) plan,
God (G/F) is justified in sending Lucifer and the fallen angels to the lake of fire.
God (G/F) is in control of human history from beginning to end.
God (G/F) is allowing human history to run it's course.
Human history is the outworking of the appeal trial of Lucifer.
Every objection of Lucifer is being dealt with in human history.
Man is presented with circumstances related to Lucifer's objection.
Some men are choosing for God's (G/F) plan, and some are not.
That some men choose for God's (G/F) plan means that Lucifer could have chosen God's (G/F) plan.
When God (G/F) has satisfactorily dealt with Lucifer's every objection, human history will end.
Human history will conclude with the Great White Throne judgment.
From the Great White Throne, Lucifer and every fallen angel will be dispatched to the lake of fire.
Every human being who dies having rejected Jesus Christ as Savior will be dispatched to the lake of fire.
Eternity future begins.
Lucifer, the fallen angels, and lost humanity will be forever banished from the presence of the Godhead.
The saved are eternally in the presence of God (G/S).
