Kings 5:27 needs to be understood in the one context of the Word and Elisha
               sinned in making this eternal curse on the later generations, which would have
               been ineffectual (2 Kings 14:6).


               The fact that God has primary and secondary wills is shown by His
               commandments not necessarily being kept.  That is sometimes God utters a
               command with the purpose that it be fulfilled but sometimes He allows for it to be
               disobeyed. The latter is a will of God but a secondary will (Lam 1:10).


               Judgement

               Every spirit or soul that comes up before Christ (John 5:22) for final judgement
               will be condemned forever, conditionally unless or until repentence (Phil 2:10-11),
               unless already saved (Rev 20:15).  Everything is to be so judged, on its works,
               except that which has been saved (Job 34:11, John 5:24, Eph 2:8-9, Rev 20:13)
               which is ‘judged’ by grace (Mat 10:32, Luke 12: 8, John 11:25, Rom 11:6, Rev
               20:15) at the Last Judgement. Salvation is by grace which is faith in Jesus Christ
               (Rom 4:16).  Salvation has, is and will always be available to the whole Creation
               (Rev 22:1).


               Every man is under the Judgement of Christ (Rom 14:10), a Christian begins the
               judgement process whilst in the flesh (1 Cor 11:31, 1 Pet 4:17) which is not The
               Judgement (Rev 20:12-15) but a process of chastening (1 Cor 11:32), focused on
               the retention of salvation under the prime principle (1 Cor 3:15, 11:32). This is
               symbolised by the tongues which were like flames of fire on the day of Pentecost
               (Acts 2:3).  This process is the maintenance of our salvation by the future-proofing
               of our perfect spirits (Phil 2:12-19, Jam 1:2-3) which is essential for the
               maintenance of our Salvation (Mat 3:10, 7:19, Luke 3:9, Rom 11:22, Jam 2:26,
               Jude 12). The point is that even a perfect spirit could change by free will and sin in
               eternity whilst in the Second Heaven and Earth, unless this process is undergone
               and that is why it is necessary (Ezek 28:15).  It is about keeping a Christian’s spirit
               perfect for all time with free choice (Ezek 28:15).  This process stops at the death
               of the flesh or at the Changing (Rom 6:7).  Romans 6:7 has a double meaning: a)
               that Christians are freed from sin as totally righteous with a perfect spirit by the
               baptism of death at conversion (Rom 6:3) and that b) the prime principle process of
               future-proofing their spirit for eternity is ended at the death of the flesh (Rom 6:7).
               The length of life of a Christian is not solely determined by the operation of the
               prime principle but by other factors, God is quite capable of achieving the process
               in the instant of Salvation if it pleases Him to do so (Rom 8:23 ‘waiting’, 2 Cor
               1:22 ‘sealed’). Usually however we experience a period of in-the-flesh working out
