Thanks for posting. In studying angelology and eschatology, I’ve found Scriptural doctrines on the millenial reign and new heaven/new earth to describe a different precedence than that presented here.

On the other hand, the article nicely explains the sourcing of many extrabiblical interpretations of the angelic domain.

Romans 8:38-39
(38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
(39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A study of the doctrine of Positional Truth helps in understanding the work of God the Holy Spirit in the life of man.

The phrase “in Christ Jesus” is a technical term for the union of the believer with Jesus Christ which is inseparable, not because of anything we do, but completely due to His grace and work on the Cross, once finished, never to be reperformed.

"Thanks for posting."

My pleasure.

"the union of the believer with Jesus Christ which is inseparable"

Actually we can return to our vomit:

2Pt:2 20 "For if, flying from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they be again entangled in them and overcome: their latter state is become unto them worse than the former. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice than, after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them. 22 For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit; and: The sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire." (DRV)
