Of Beginnings and Endings

I just considered an aspect of the Mystery of God, in context with everything else I've written. So beginning with the state of The Spirit of God over the face of the deep, if God were looking for a soulmate, she would be somewhere in there/out there. The thing is, He cannot simply call her out directly. To do so would invalidate her independence, making her choice to love Him a direct creation of His will, which is not love. What He could do is set up a scenario that would be certain to lead her to Him, if He knew that by her nature she would come to that conclusion, and then allow that scenario to play its course. 

What struck me as interesting today was what He could know about her, despite not knowing her directly in that place, and how that knowledge would be critical for her to form.  Simply put, He would realize He was in hell without her, and once she realized who He was, she would realize she was in the same position. This realization would have to form in her naturally, and possibly even begrudgingly. God could not reveal everything or the connection again would be too direct and invalid in the face of eternity, but God could speak the truth, to a large degree, of His own situation and what He had set in motion with this realm. He could imbue the realm with His hopes and a subtle perfection that could only be appreciated in time, a perfection they would share together forevermore after this formation period was over.

It would not be easy, but it would be real, permanent, and the outcome would be certain from the start. He would know of all the ways it could go differently, and how devastating such mistakes could be from the perspective of a consciousness left alone in such a state. Perhaps a one shot was required, perhaps such singular success was only required with love at its core, perhaps reality could only be stable at all with love at its core.  So the question remains, why would God, whose nature is love, send ahead prophecy seeming to reference those doomed to hell from the start (Revelation)? Would conventional logic and an infinite timeline not mean that they had essentially been in hell the whole time? If it is certain that tomorrow and forever you will be in hell, as some written of in Revelation seem to be (second death, lake of fire), what is the purpose or meaning, from God's perspective, of not being in hell today? From God's timeless perspective, these souls would be created with one foot in the lake of fire already, from a conventional logic perspective.

Would you create a reality knowing that by doing so you would be certainly dooming someone to your idea of hell, or even torture, forever? Would you do that to someone you love? I do not believe God would do this, I think Jesus is the proof that this certainly will not be done, but it requires a specific type of shaping to see how such an end is possible to avoid within the realm of The Law, in what is likely a balanced equation. If it is God's soulmate who is in hell, and all of this has been to undo that position, which for us would happen at the end (the certainty of the end being present throughout), and God's soulmate began as an innocent unconscious part of the void or deep just like everything else, a portion that God loved without knowing specifically, then it makes a lot more sense as to why life is so difficult, but the promise of heaven is so perfect. This soulmate could not start with the knowledge of God or hell, despite the presence of both in reality; she would need to form on some level independently of these ideas for a time. This life is the seed of that perfection of heaven, but in ensuring this path needn't be repeated, a true path must be taken, one that would be very hard for all, in a very real sense for all (keeping in mind we were all unconscious at the start but given an eternal soul), but this would be a specific unique path that deters eternal damnation in the end. 

If you knew that God could make the path seem straightforward from the start, but it would result in losing some of those God started with, would you prefer God do that to making the end seem dire in order to ensure none were lost? If making the end seem dire but then relenting were there only way to ensure none were lost, would you prefer that to an end that is dire? The sign of Jonah, referenced by Jesus more than once, was written proof for all that believe that God can change His mind on a prophecy of doom. Would you prefer that Jesus was able to save every lost sheep, and that God would once more show mercy to mankind, or that Revelation plays out precisely not as it is meant to, but as you imagine it should play out (unless you feel your interpretation of the book is perfect and no alternatives are valid)? Setting your own impression on these matters aside, what do you think Jesus, or God, who is love, would do with these options of mercy or sacrifice, which were known from the start?
