Under the Sun

“Is it possible to cover everything under the sun?” and then later “under the sun” was used again. Yes, I was listening to someone and they used that expression twice within the hour. It reminded me of this verse.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.

Of course, this can be seen as talking about the suffering on Earth. How humanity can do nothing to save itself from sin, how the only way anyone can be saved is through faith alone in Jesus Christ.

That which has been is that which will be,

Isaiah 14:27 For the Lord of hosts has planned, and who can frustrate it? And as for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?”

But as well, from a Universalist perspective, the beginning part mentions how the ending will be like the beginning. In the beginning, the whole world was in a state of bliss, paradise, free from sin. Our ending will be like that too, back in God’s loving grace and peace like in the Garden of Eden. This guarantees that all people will be saved. Nobody can stop God from saving the whole world. As it is His will, it shall be done. Nobody can frustrate His plan of Universal Salvation. The Lord of hosts hand stretches out across the whole world, nobody can turn it back.

And that which has been done is that which will be done.

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

The middle section refers to how God has made a plan for all of humanity since the beginning. That is, He knew from the start that we would need a saviour to save us from our sin. Which is what the Genesis line mentions, how Jesus Christ will crush the head of the serpent, but He will injure His heel as in crucified on the cross. He died for the sins of the whole world. So, to fully crush the serpent’s head, the whole world therefore must be saved. The whole world will believe in faith alone in Jesus Christ for their salvation.

So there is nothing new under the sun.

1 Peter 1:20 For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you

There is nothing new under the sun. Which is true about everything I say in regards to Universal Salvation. Everything that I have ever said, am saying right now and will say about everyone being saved by God has already been said multiple times by other people. And this is good and makes sense. Since God’s plan from the very beginning was to save everyone through faith alone in Jesus Christ. The Lord our God has existed since the beginning and will continue to exist onwards and will never cease to exist. Thus, everything His promise of Universal Salvation. In fact, the very first Universalist was God Himself. Jesus Christ was there since before the world’s foundations were set. It has always been The Lord’s desire to save everyone.
