Savior of All

List Compiled by Paolo S. Macachor

1. Did you know that brimstone (ancient name for sulphur) was also used to purify and had the power to ward off disease?

It appears in seven verses in the New Testament from the Greek word "theion," (Strong's number 2303) which has the definitions:

1) brimstone
1a) divine incense, because it was regarded as having power to purify, and to ward off disease

2. Did you know that the word "torment" in the Book of Revelation primarily meant to test metals?

Cognate: 931 básanos – originally, a black, silicon-based stone used as "a touchstone" to test the purity of precious metals (like silver and gold). See 928 (basanízō).

3. Did you also know that "forever and ever" was mistranslated, because the word Aionios Ton Aionion literally means "the ages of the ages"... because the word for "and" is "Kai" and "ton" should always mean, of the ? Have you considered that this refers to an era, and not a duration?

4. Did you know that "everlasting punishment" in Matthew 25: 46 literally means chastening eonian (Concordant Literal Translation)... and that the Greek adjective Aionios can NOT take on a form greater than the noun it modifies? In other words, Life eonian/life eternal (Zoen Aionion) ... and Chastening eonian/Everlasting Punishment do not necessarily have to have the same duration?

And the word Kolasis, which is what the Lord Jesus used in this verse means corrective punishment, because KOLAZO in Greek originally meant the pruning of trees to make them better?

Aion does not always have to be eternal because it modifies God. Aion doesn't make God eternal, but God makes Aion eternal. (Gerry Beauchemin, HOPE BEYOND HELL).

5. We know that God has kindled fires that shall "not be quenched" in the past (See Jeremiah 7: 20, KJV) ... As yourself the question: Are those fires still burning?

If you have carefully considered these things... I want you to take a look at the following Scriptures,that I have compiled, in no particular order from the Bible... different versions of it which can be viewed at

Psalm 22:27-29 (New International Version, ©2010)

²⁷ All the ends of the earth
   will remember and turn to the LORD,
and all the families of the nations
   will bow down before him,

   the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;
⁸ he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears
   from all faces;

Before me every knee will bow;

   are deliverance and strength.’”
All who have raged against him
   will come to him and be put to shame.

¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. ²⁰ For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; ²¹ because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

²⁴then -- the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power --
²⁵for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet --
²⁶the last enemy is done away -- death;
²⁷for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,
²⁸and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.
