Directed at all of us, but especially those destined to reign with Christ and crush Satan 's head. Enough is enough. We see how THEY 'd enemy rules... His son is about to show all how his father rules... When he slams the enemy in dense darkness reserved for him and his demons. He wars against the remaining seeds on earth right up till now, be he can never win. He no longer belongs of JHWH, but seeks to destroy them that do, just as he sought to destroy Jesus. We know the outcome then. We now the outcome now! Wake up, and stay on the watch!

This world is going to pass away so it is very important not to love the world or the things in the world. We need to make sure of what the will of God truly is and make sure that we are doing that will. This is a matter of whether we pass away with the world or we live forever.

what this verse is telling us is that,this world,the people living in it, all the activities going on in it will surely come to an end one day,the bible made us to realize that relationship or oneness with world is Gods enimity,those that love this world and the worldly activities going on in it then forsake God will perish with the world,because God has determine to consume it with fire, after the arrival of jesus the 2nd time, and they will remain in hell with the devil forever, but those who seperated themselves to do the will of God to follow his commandments right here on earth will reign with him(God) forever, the bible made us to realize that when these has happened that the world has p***ed away, there will come a new earth nd a new heaven where those who did the will of God will abide forever and live forever.

It seems clear to me that this verse indicates that the believer, in fact, lives forever--beginning at the moment of the new birth. If we actually receive the gift of eternal life at salvation, then, eternal life dwells inside us. Oh death, where is thy sting? We do not have to taste death because we have eaten from the tree of life (Jesus). It is strange how much people will fight against believing in eternal life beginning now. I think people resist because they don't think they can live up to believing they never have to die. Most people are sick with something, so, they feel that if they get sick, how are they going to live forever. Eternal life is a gift from God, it is not anything we do. However, we do have to accept it by faith.
