"When they were filled, He said unto His disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost." -John 6:12

The Master of reconciliation loses nothing!

He performs miracles that have such abundance there are 12 basketfulls leftover.

Have you ever wondered why the Saviour of all mankind cares about leftover scraps?

"Lost" = apollumi=

To lose utterly/ destroy /fail to save / perish.

Spiritual destitution and alienation from God I.O.W.: lost sheep.

The Author of all is the Finisher of all: He loses NOTHING !

"He chose us to be his very own, joining us to himself even before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence.

For it was always in his perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace—for the same love he has for his Beloved One, Jesus, he has for us.

And this unfolding plan brings him great pleasure!

Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by his blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of his grace... And through the revelation of the Anointed One, he unveiled his secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of his long-range plan, which he was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time. And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ." -TPT-

Unfailing =

Not giving way.

Not falling short of expectation.

Completely dependable.

Inexhaustible/ endless.

Plan =

A scheme / method of acting.

Purpose developed in advance.

A specific purpose/ project.

Cascading =

Resembles a waterfall flowing or falling in abundance.

Two colour blind brothers seeing colour for first time

https://www.upworthy.com/two-color-b...nd-its-magical

The Scripture speaks of the manifold grace of God.

Manifold = poikilos =

Many faceted dimensions of colour.

Much varied in scope.

"My passion is to enlighten every person to this divine mystery. It was hidden for ages past until now, and kept a secret in the heart of God, the Creator of all. The purpose of this was to unveil before every throne and rank of angelic orders in the heavenly realm God’s full and diverse wisdom revealed through the church. This perfectly wise plan was destined from eternal ages and fulfilled completely in our Lord Jesus Christ....(TPT)

"Don’t be afraid. For I have come to bring you good news, the most joyous news the world has ever heard!

And it is for everyone everywhere!

In Bethlehem a rescuer was born for you.

He is the Lord Yahweh, the Messiah. You will recognize him by this miracle sign: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a feeding trough!

Then all at once, a vast number of glorious angels appeared, the very armies of heaven!

They all praised God, singing: 'Glory to God in the highest realms of heaven! For there is peace and a good hope given to the sons of men.” - TPT

All things re-headed in Christ

In the dispensation of the fullness of the seasons, God will re-head all things in Christ.

All aspects of the universe are re-aligned into its Source.

Where the English says, “gather together,” the Greek is anakephalaiosasthai, from ana, again, and kephalaion, the head.

Hence, it means to re-head all things in Christ, both in the heavens and upon the earth.

When God created this world, he constituted Adam and Eve the united head. When the devil succeeded in their abduction, he cut the head off of the world, thus leaving the poor, fallen world without a head.

In the glorious restitution, Christ is going to glorify Himself and restore humanity back to its headship in the Father, its Creator.

The work of Christ will restore this world to its perfect celestial loyalty.

At-one-ment !

did you notice?... you're on a discussion board.

From #107 on noone replied. Except you.
It's a monologue then.
I stay with my opinion: universalism is a guess.
And even if you go on with your monologue... I'm not going to change my opinion about the so-called "Universal Reconciliation".
Please note: I don't listen to monologues, even if you reply a monologue to my post.

Thomas: All aspects of our Father is one of revelation and awakening of eyes and ears. This is on every level of coming to know Him in every stage of His laminar spheres of unveiling.

Dianoigō describes the experience (s).

These stages occur as the Master of Glory draws us aside/ asunder to open thoroughly what has been closed, & cause to understand; IOW to arouse the faculty of understanding, or desire, or both.

I wish you well on your journey.

Science first had to theory to form a created space, an irradiated radiating space to allow a conversion of what was not being converted. God O the mass of energy, our planet. What they seem to forget is that their human male mind psyche had to invent a thesis to invent space, and then an irradiated space, just for science conditions.

As the concepts their theism, human and falsification of spatial advice in human sciences.

Then the next idea is that the heart core of planet Earth, the scientist concept of God sacrificed his human being male life, human and man, male and son as a Father of science concept as a concept and "God" did it.

Yet God only released a radiation blasting out of its own earth body mass actually.

So when he then tries to quote and one day God will put back...being Earth as stone what it had taken.....and quote Jesus themes...the Saviour theme says...the wandering asteroid stars released their higher energy mass, that came direct out of a sun mass, why they are different and leave cold gas mass in space. As a replacement for what the man scientist had burnt out. And also quoted and the winter season replaced the ICE and assisted Earth cooling every year end.

Advice about concepts known to man/male human scientists seeing they altered natural, knew that they did. Discussed it completely and advised self when life would heal and return by that same discussion.

So not only did they blame God the stone Earth body, natural for doing it, they also quoted that they were innocent of what they never knew. And still to this day in science believe self was innocent for not knowing that the Earth would heart core blast them.

Self evidence for self reasoning, human.

God is the name of absolute divine mystery beyond any speech or thought or movement.

God’s love is so tremendous that God is like a sober drunk, falling over Himself in the desire to share divine life.

God, the eros of divine love.

God, agape, giving Godself away.

God, ek-static, standing outside Godself, in the creation of the world.

God, the volcanic eruption of divine life.

Because God’s eros is cosmic the whole universe is drawn to God, who is always utterly transcendent. God is both hidden and revealed, and there is no access to the hidden God except by way of God manifested in creation.

We long for God because God longs for us eternally desiring to give Godself away in love so we can give ourselves in love; love always stands outside itself in the other.

To be united to God we must “break through” the sensible world and pass beyond the human condition to move beyond knowing to unknowing, from knowledge to love. ~Richard Rohr

Fear is the instrument of the enemy.

The scripture says "perfect love casts out all fear."

At the base of salvation is the Love of God- He is love, not torment.

It takes the Spirit of the Lord to open our minds to realize what God the Father gives us in Jesus Christ - Salvation - in every part of our lives.

The restitution of all things flowing from the Saviour of ALL mankind is the Good News the angels proclaim.

God loves the world: He does not come to condemn the world but to save it.

"Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets."

1. What is it?

2. What it is not.

3. What are the Scriptures pointing to this?

4. Who are some of those who have grasped the "Larger Hope"?

What is it? The 'restoration of all things' means the restoration of Gods rulership over mankind. The restoration of peace on earth and in heaven. The restoration of everlasting life to mankind including to those who are already dead. The restoration of the earth itself from those who have been ruining it.

Scriptures pointing to this restoration are to numerous to mention all so i'll just pick out a few

Gods Rulership restored
: Daniel 2:44 "The God of heaven will setup a kingdom....it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms and it itself will stand to times indefinite"

Peace on Earth: Psalm 37: 10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there.+11 But the meek will possess the earth,+ And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

Peace in Heaven: Rev 7:7
And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el*+ and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but they did not prevail,* nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon+ was hurled...12 On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea,+ because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”


Restoration of Life to all: John 5:28 “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.”
Acts 24:15 And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection+ of both the righteous and the unrighteous
And the restoration of everlasting life on earth: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son,+ so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life


The larger hope is in Gods hands and he will bring it very soon. To be apart of it we must learn what his will is now and do it.

The larger hope is entirely in our Gods hands extending to everything in the heavens, earth and underworld.

The timing of this glorious consummation of ta panta is in "the fulness of times"/ the fulness of the aions/ kairos.

Thunder in the desert!

“Prepare God’s arrival!
Make the road smooth and straight!
Every ditch will be filled in,
Every bump smoothed out,
The detours straightened out,
All the ruts paved over.
Everyone will be there to see
The parade of God’s salvation.” -MSG-

I believe that finally every created soul will be drawn, not forced, to choose to seek, and when he chooses to seek will be helped to find eternal life. I have no knowledge of place or time. I have the great hope. I will condense into a narrow space a few reasons for this hope.

I base this belief - for my belief and hope are one -on the attributes of God as admitted by all Christians. Infinite Wisdom knows the end from the beginning, and will not in the beginning create what will defeat the end.

Infinite Power is able to control all things toward a desired end. Infinite Love, as expressed in the words " Our Father," will do the best for its children.

What shall we say of the attribute of justice ?

No attribute has been so belittled as this. We once heard that since man's sin was infinite, justice demanded infinite punishment; now it is changed to the statement, if men sin endlessly, justice demands they be punished endlessly.

Both these statements are an abortion, a caricature of justice. No finite man can commit an infinite sin. If any man sin endlessly, justice cannot be satisfied, but only endlessly thwarted.

Justice demands obedience to just law. It is never satisfied with less.

God is a just God, so nothing is ever settled until it is settled right.

There are other attributes. "God is a consuming fire."

His wrath and anger are spoken of.

These attributes express the Divine hand raised against sin. If the Divine hand is raised against sin one must yield, and I don't believe it is the Divine hand. God is a consuming fire, not a fire burning forever in empty rage. He consumes man as the refiner's fire does the ore, burning the dross and bringing forth the good, as gold tried by fire. ~P.T. Barnum

Every created thing (παν κτισμα — pān ktisma).

Every creature in a still wider antiphonal circle beyond the circle of angels (from κτιζω — ktizō for which see 1 Timothy 4:4; James 1:18), from all the four great fields of life (in heaven, upon the earth, under the earth as in Revelation 5:3, with on the sea επι της ταλασσης — epi tēs thalassēs added).

No created thing is left out. This universal chorus of praise to Christ from all created life reminds one of the profound mystical passage in Romans 8:20-22 concerning the sympathetic agony of creation (κτισις — ktisis) in hope of freedom from the bondage of corruption.

If the trail of the serpent is on all creation, it will be ultimately thrown off. -A.T. Robertson Word Pictures

Unprecedented=

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dict.../unprecedented

"I saw Heaven and earth new-created. Gone the first Heaven, gone the first earth, gone the sea. I saw Holy Jerusalem, new-created, descending resplendent out of Heaven, as ready for God as a bride for her husband. I heard a voice thunder from the Throne:

“Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women!

They’re his people, he’s their God. He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone.” The Enthroned continued, “Look! I’m making everything new. Write it all down—each word dependable and accurate.”

Then he said, “It’s happened. I’m A to Z. I’m the Beginning, I’m the Conclusion. From Water-of-Life Well I give freely to the thirsty. Conquerors inherit all this. I’ll be God to them, they’ll be sons and daughters to me.

But for the rest—the feckless and faithless, degenerates and murderers, sex peddlers and sorcerers, idolaters and all liars—for them it’s Lake Fire and Brimstone. Second death!” -MSG

The Lake of Fire =

The Lake of Divine purification.

The Lake of Theion and Theioo.

Strong's Greek: 2303. θεῖον (theion) -- brimstone

"And God-Enthroned spoke to me and said, “Consider this! I am making everything to be new and fresh. Write down at once all that I have told you, because each word is trustworthy and dependable. Then he said to me, It has been accomplished! For I am the Aleph and the Tav, the beginning and the end. I will give water to all who are thirsty. As my gracious gift, they will continuously drink from the fountain of living water." -TPT
