My guess is that time is not limited to being a straight line but Ezekiel chapter thirty seven hints at multiple time lines in which more and more and more and more of the Holy Spirit is poured out on all flesh. We would not necessarily know if we had been resurrected and sent back to when we were five or ten or fifteen years of age.
My belief is that Jesus is just getting started at how drastic the measures may be to eventually save the lost.
Thinking someone, anyone is "lost" isn't a requirement of Christianity. We are all lost to varying degrees, so it's quite pointless to point fingers.
John advised us in 1 John 4:7 that everyone who loves knows God and is born of God. Bam. Nailed it right there.
Can any of us sincerely say that would not apply to everyone? I can easily see it could apply to every person that has ever lived. Even if they only loved their own sorry hides. Or some other distorted versions of love. It's love, regardless.
God's workings sometimes reminds me of off the charts passions of every sort, in every direction. A colossal experiment, unleashed in real time, real life. Or at least what it appears to us to be in our current state.
Luke 20:38
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for
all live unto him.
God did feed us all a big ol' hunk of dragon meat before we got here, to carry around with us on the journey. A covering so to speak. And He commanded the light to shine from the darkness.
Our adversary is that darkness. Acts 26:18
All people are God's children. Matt. 23:9, Acts 17:26-29
Psalm 74:14
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Leviathan, for the uninitiated to allegory/similitudes in scripture, is Satan.
Isaiah 27:1
In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish
leviathan the piercing serpent, even
leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay
the dragon that is in the sea.
The "sea" that leviathan swims in is PEOPLE. In the spiritual sense, the veritable sea of confusion and vanity. Where the beast, the woman, the harlot sits.
and the Word actually gives POWER to the beast, that it rises from the sea, to show its ugly head. Romans 7:13, 1 Cor. 15:56
The crazy part of the whole deal is: It actually does work, to this day, in real time. You can watch it unfold before your very eyes.
