THE FATE OF THE SEA

The SEA throughout the scriptures, is a type of the raging restless, surging masses of unregenerate humanity, tossed about by the inner storms of the turbulent character of the carnal mind. Isaiah 57:20-21'' The wicked are like the TROUBLED SEA, which cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace saith my God, for the wicked", Jude 13 " These are RAGING WAVES OF THE SEA foaming out their own shame". In Rev 20:13, we read that the SEA gave up its dead (the wicked) along with DEATH and HELL(HADES) who also released their dead,all these entities are symbols used to describe the fallen state of humanity; Ephesians 2:1 says that God made us alive, who were once DEAD in trespasses and sins, but as we have seen in Revelation, this state of affairs will not go on forever since the last enemy of Christ to be defeated is DEATH and HELL IS THE ABODE OF THE DEAD therefore the SEA is the realm of DEATH and HELL; Gen 1: The earth was without form, and void; and DARKNESS was on the face of the DEEP. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the WATERS", The DEEP and WATERS mean the same thing. In Revelation 17:15 it says that the WATERS where the harlot sits are peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues, the people in whom the god of this age has blinded so that they cannot see the glorious light of the gospel. The end of the SEA will come in Rev 21:1 where we see the advent of the NEW EARTH and the NEW HEAVEN for the former had passed away, and also there was no more SEA, for the SEA had been consumed in the LAKE OF FIRE which is the SECOND DEATH, THE DEATH OF THE FIRST DEATH, In 2 Peter 3:6 and 7 it states that the the world that then was perished with water as through the flood, but the heavens and the earth which NOW are; are kept in store by the same word, reserved for FIRE until the day of judgement and perdition of UNGODLY men. normally we see that it is water which puts out the fire, but with God it is the opposite for our God is a CONSUMING FIRE just as He consumed the water of Elijah's sacrifice in 1 Kings 18:38, He will consume the WATERS through the power of His resurrected life for this is the gospel promised of old to Abraham" You shall be the Father of MANY NATIONS where God will be ALL IN ALL.
