God All in All : The Spirits Too
God All in All : The Spirits Too
This reflection pressed heavily on my heart early this morning. It came suddenly, connecting pieces from several older posts I’ve written over the years. I wanted to capture it while the thoughts were still fresh, because they form a picture of God’s final restoration that I had not seen quite this clearly before.
Scripture
“Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority and power… so that God may be all in all.” — 1 Corinthians 15:24, 28
Reflection
Several of my past posts came to mind this morning, forming a picture of what it might mean for God to become all in all. I’ve often wondered whether this points to something far greater than we usually imagine — that even the fallen angels, even Satan himself, will ultimately be brought under God’s final authority in a way that restores peace to all creation.
Not excused. Not justified. But fully subjected to God’s rule, ending their rebellion forever.
Connection to Today
Scripture tells us that the spirits we call “evil spirits” recognize Yeshua Jesus and fear Him. Satan knows Him too — and works to turn human hearts away from the truth. In one of my earlier posts, I wondered whether Satan or the fallen angels could ever repent. Could they grieve over what they have done? Could they desire forgiveness? It was only a question, but it keeps returning to me.
Another older post came to mind — the one about the Nephilim. The fallen angels took human wives, producing powerful hybrid offspring. When the flood came, those beings died physically, but their spirits remained and now roam the earth, seeking to indwell humans. This has been happening ever since the days of Noah.
If these spirits have existed in this restless, tormented state for thousands of years, I wonder whether they would desire restoration if it were possible. If God truly intends to become all in all, then even these wandering spirits would need to be brought under His authority and peace. Could repentance be the doorway for them? Could they acknowledge their rebellion and long for the place they once had?
I also remembered another post where I reflected on the passage about turning a sinner from his ways — that such an act “covers a multitude of sins. (James 5:19-20)". It made me wonder: if these spirits repented and began leading humans toward Yeshua instead of away from Him, could that act of turning others toward God cover a multitude of their own sins?
Isaiah 11 paints a picture of a world where everything and everyone is at peace — wolves and lambs, children and serpents, nations and peoples. For that kind of harmony to exist, something profound must happen to Satan and the fallen angels. Their influence must be removed, transformed, or brought under God’s final authority.
I also reflected on Daniel chapter 4, where a mighty king is driven away from mankind to live among the animals “until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.” That passage has always reminded me of Lucifer — once exalted, then cast down, waiting for the moment when he must acknowledge the sovereignty of God.
All of these threads together make me wonder: when God becomes all in all, what happens to every spirit — even the rebellious ones? What does restoration look like on the cosmic level? It’s a mystery, but one worth pondering.
Prayer
Father, guide my thoughts as I wrestle with these mysteries. Help me see Your heart, Your justice, and Your mercy more clearly. Draw all creation — seen and unseen — toward Your light. Teach us to trust Your plan, even the parts we cannot yet understand. Amen.
