In the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:7)

So I had an idea, in the instance that God decides to apply eternal torment or annihilationism to the end result of the judgment, it begs the question: Who will God show his riches of grace and kindness (towards us) to? In annihilationism, everyone but those who were saved are now poof-o, gone, etc. In Eternal Torment, people wouldn't notice, because the torment hurts too much.

So the solution for this theological conundrum is stuffed toys! God creates dolls to show what he has done.

After the final judgment, the glorified bride of Christ will be awash in the magnitude of her experience of the exceeding riches in his grace and kindness toward her. She will no longer need a foil to improve the limitations of what was her fallen nature's appreciation of them.

He shows it to any that witness the facts. But most specially, this includes the Redeemed —the objects of his mercy (Romans 9:23).
