ONES DESTINY IS DETERMINED

DESTINY DETERMINED BY THE CROSS

"Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die."

  John 12:31-33

 

DESTINY Word used in modern translations for God's act in electing or predestinating people and nations. This is determined by ones attitude towards the Cross.  

DETERMINED AT THE CROSS THE DETERMINATION OF DESTINY WAS SETTLED FOR THE WORLD IN THE JUDGMENT AT THE CROSS

 By this statement I mean that the sentence was passed at the Cross. The execution of the sentence was to wait till the appointed time. The sentence involved destiny, not degree of punishment. The degree was to be settled at another time.

•The Destiny of the Entire World System including Satan and his Accomplices was Involved

• Satan was defeated and his destiny was determined  John 12:31-33

The Destiny of Angels was also settled by the Judgment of the Cross.

Defeated and destiny determined.  Col. 2:16

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days."

“And He saith unto me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this Book; for the time is at hand. He that is unrighteous let him do unrighteousness yet more: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy yet more: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness yet more: and he that is holy, let him be made holy yet more. Behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to each man according as his work is."—Rev. 22:10-12

 

FATE That which must necessarily happen. The Old Testament speaks of death as the common fate of humankind (Psa. 49:12; 81:15; Eccl. 2:14; 3:19; 9:2, 3). The Old Testament similarly speaks of violent death as the destiny of the wicked (Job 15:22; Isa. 65:12; Hos. 9:13).
