God, The Mover of Lands and Peoples

"Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."

Luke 3:5-6

What a fantastic Truth. While this passage is self explanatory, it can be reiterated that the following words are spoken in absolute terms: EVERY, EVERY and ALL. Not some. Not a few. ALL. And ALL flesh shall see salvation. If this isn't a plug for universal reconciliation, I don't know what is.

All mountains will be leveled, all paths made straight. I believe that the example of large expanses of earth that cover thousands of miles and are billions of pounds provide the enormous example of what God can do. And if God can put all peaks low and the valleys high - making the earth straight at the snap of His finger, in the end He can surely "correct" the flaws of infinitely smaller beings, humans. With God all things are possible. This just goes to show that the huge things are cake for God to fix....and so the small things (us) will be an obvious snap.
