I find this passage in 2nd Samuel very interesting and somewhat comforting.
2 Samuel 14:14 (ESV) 14 We must all die; we are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God will not take away life, and he devises means so that the banished one will not remain an outcast.
Thank you Jesus
John 12:32 (ESV) 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
The word draw in the Greek ἑλκύω helkyō
Means to 1. to draw, drag off
Very interesting when you switch the word draw to drag it feels like it gives a whole new meaning to the passage John 12:32
John 12.32 When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all of mankind and every definition of judgment unto me. (He would be lifted up on a cross, descend into the depths of our hell, then, according to the prophetic word in Hosea 6:2, after two days, the entire human race he represents, will be co-quickened and on the third day, be co-raised, out of the lowest parts of the earth and elevated to the highest heavens. Ephesians 4:8,9; see also Ephesians 2:5,6 and Colossians 3:1-3. ‘All’ includes all of mankind and every definition of judgment. The subject of the sentence, as from the previous verse, is the judgment of the world – thus the primary thought here is that in his death, Jesus would draw all judgment upon himself. John 3:14; John 8:28; Acts 2:33. 1 John 3:5 We have witnessed with our own eyes how, in the unveiling of the prophetic word, when he was lifted up upon the cross as the Lamb of God, he lifted up our sin and broke its dominion and rule over us. John 1:29 “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away [airo] the sin of the world. The word airo means to lift up.”)

Curious does anyone have any thoughts on this?
