do you have examples of the various different outcomes?
I have indications of the vastness of God's dealings. Surpises are there.
Moses not being allowed to enter the Promise Land. But how could that be?
Solomon requesting that God give him wisdom. Such a noble request which made God very happy. Yet in latter years he is drawn away into idolatry by his 600 wives.
How about David, a man after God's own heart. Yet he conspires to steal a man's wife, conceal his adultery with her and arranges to have the husband murdered.
Yet Jesus in Revelation is called "the Root and Offspring of David" . Why not eradicating the name David from the whole Bible instead for what he did ?
Surprises.
Then there is the warning of Jesus that some of the Sodomites will in a sense rise at the last judgment and say to those towns which rejected Jesus - "What WAS it with you people ?? "
Not sure how God will work that one out.
Ever read about the cross handed blessing of Jacob ?
He crossed his hands to bless his sons for he had learned that in his own life the second came in first and the first came in behind the second.
Then there is the New Jerusalem consisting of the sons of God. Yet around the New Jerusalem are the nations walking in her light yet who are not the inhabitants of the eternal city.
We can expect some mighty surprises. Having forewarned us of this God is still obligated to show the polar ultimate of the best destiny and the worst destiny.
