The Light
Intro
John CHAP. I.
1 The Diuinitie, Humanitie, and Office of Iesus Christ. 15 The testimonie of Iohn. 39 The calling of Andrew, Peter, &c.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn.
7 The same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of the light, that all men through him might beleeue.
8 Hee was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light.
9 That was the true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world.
10 Hee was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 Hee came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not.
12 But as many as receiued him, to them gaue hee power to become the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue on his Name:
13 Which were borne, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs (& we beheld his glory, the glory as of the onely begotten of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
We see that Jesus is the true light that lighteth every man that come into the world [9].
So the idea of limited atonement is wrong. Because then it wouldnt say lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
The goat is rather to be understood from a prophetic perspective. That is God the Father, the Holy Ghost and Jesus Christ can speak prophetically and those who did not receive Jesus Christ [12]. Those who don't come to faith in Jesus Christ in their lifetime, they are the goats.
Though there could still be tares because they would not be men then but rather devils that have come in the flesh.
