Q: When Jesus said, “Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men,” doesn’t that imply that some “fish” will not be caught?

A: According to the ordinary line of thought – yes -- many would take it that way. The logical conclusion is that some will be permanently lost. This is the way the ordinary fleshly mind reasons, and the fleshly mind is always wrong on spiritual matters.

The truth is... some will be lost... but only for the duration of the interval that occurs between the final judgment and the consummation of the aions (ages). But in the end, God shall be “All in all,” not “All in some” at the consummation of the ages, when His Son, the King of kings Jesus Christ, subjects all not some to Him.

“And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all” (I Corinthians 15:28).

Death is the traveling companion of mortality. Always has been. But death shall be destroyed at the consummation of the ages.

“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death” (I Corinthians 15:26).

Death will be more than simply destroyed. At the consummation, mortality shall be swallowed up of life!

“For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life” (II Corinthians 5:4).

This means that all who have died, without exception, will at that time be made alive and changed to immortals. Yes, even those who were judged and condemned to death at the Great White Throne Judgment and cast into the lake of fire!

God loses no one! The life, death, and the resurrection of Christ Jesus as all shall see, has absolutely mind-blowing efficacy!

“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven” (Colossians 1:20).

This is hard for many to believe and accept, but it is true; the Scriptures are quite clear on it. And is what we mean when we speak of universal salvation. People need to stop denying what the Scriptures state and start believing them.
