Let's render the texts plainly (by the way I meant the whole of scripture not just Gen & Rev) . . . but have it your way . . . God said it and it creation came into being . . . God will declare by His word when history will end . . . and this is without dispute.
Yes, I know what you meant. And I have read all books of the Bible, and studied most of them. KJV that is.
Yes, God spoke us into existance, but then he handed it over to us. History will end, but we will not. There will be a new Heaven, and a New Earth, and even those in Hell, will still exist.
And we do not exist to be obiediant to God. We exist to be God's children, and to love him as he loves us. God does not love us, like a master loves his dog. God loves us like a groom loves his bride, and like a parent loves his children. Children who will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Ones who show responsibility, will be able to join in 'running the family business', ones who do not show responsibility, will be sent to 'time out'.
