I have loved you, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob, And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. (Malachi 1:2-3)

57 And so, therefore, Melchisedec, the great Priest, like a man, He had no beginning and He has no end. And when we, through that theophany, that, we were made in the image of God before the world was ever made; when that theophany has been made flesh and dwelt among us, then, through His death, we ourselves receive His Spirit and we have no end; Eternal Life; not Angels, but men and women. Oh, I…Somehow, if I could only get it in a way that my—my audience would catch it! You will never be an Angel. God made Angels, but God made man. And what God does is off of God, which is as Eternal as God is. And man is just as Eternal as his Creator, because he was made from Eternity.

58 But sin has an end, suffering has an end. Therefore, there cannot be an Eternal hell. There’s a hell, fire and brimstone, we know that, but there’s no Eternal hell. There’s only one type of Eternal Life and that belongs to God. If you’re to suffer forever, you got Eternal Life. Hell has an end, it may be billions of years, but it’ll finally come to an end.

59 The Bible doesn’t say, anywhere, that they suffered Eternally, said, “Forever and forever.” Jonah thought he was in the belly of the whale “forever,” too. Forever has a distance or a time limit. But Eternal is perpetual, it has no beginning or end. It’s like a ring, a circle. And as our time moves on, we’re only in revolving around the great motives of God.

60 God’s motive was to make man in His image, to fellowship with Him. And He made him a tangible being. Now, sin brought us into a place of—of—of corruption, but that never stops the program of God. And, sinner friend, today, if you’re not born again of the Spirit of God, you have an end somewhere. And your end is chaos, in ruin, and suffering and misery. But to you who have believed on the Lord Jesus, and accepted the same as your personal Saviour, it’s just as Eternal as God is Eternal. You have no end, “I give unto them Eternal Zoe, God’s own Life, and they will never perish or come into the judgment even, but has passed from death unto Life.” That’s what He was. That’s what He come for.

61 Now, Jesus, in His coming, of His priesthood, did not come just for a sympathy’s sake. Many people teach it like that, that He come, saying, “Well, maybe if I suffer, I will be a—a—a pitiful sight and people will surely come to Me.” That’s an error. There’s no Scripture for that.

For, every person that ever will be saved, God knew them before the world was ever formed. The Bible said so. God is not willing, now, that anybody should perish. He wants them all to come to repentance. But, being God, by foreknowledge He knew it.

62 Look in Romans, 8th chapter. Paul was holding up there, saying about the election of God, that, “Esau and Jacob, before either baby was born, or anything, God said that He knew them and He hated Esau and loved Jacob,” before either boy had a—had a chance to express their gratitude, for He was God. He know…He is infinite. If He is infinite, He knowed every flea, every fly, every gnat, everything that’d ever be on the earth, He knew it. He’s the infinite, Eternal, immortal, blessed God, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient. There is nothing that He doesn’t know. That’s the reason He can tell what the end will be. He knowed the end from the beginning.
