betty boop: But we do not have completedness in creation before the final Judgment, which is where the perfection of God's creation is achieved -- not before.

Quix: I can't think of a single Scripture which would 100% fool proof indicate anything of the kind. I actually can't think of a single Scriptural phrase which would infallibly 100% reliably prove, indicate that CREATION will ever be "completed" in our notions of the construct.

The Great White Throne Judgment is in Revelation 20.

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. - Rev 20:11-15

And from Revelation 21 (emphasis mine):

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. - Rev 21:1-6

Blessed Scriptures.

I may be missing the nose on my face . . . but I still fail to see ANY

even remotely clear, even ambiguous statement that such signals the END of CREATION and the END OF CREATING.

Those Scriptures, to me, merely signal the end of history as we have known it; known of it.

There are probably a near infinite number of options for God from that point forward . . . with some connection to this time/space . . . experience . . . and some relatively only very faintly connected to this time/space experience.

What am I missing?
