Sacred meaning, coming under judgment, and the gift of life are in focus, today. There is much that carefully must be considered regarding eternal life and salvation for the children (and adults) caught up in such sweeping divine plagues and judgments against sin as Noah’s Flood, the Exodus from Egypt, or captivity by Assyria and Babylon. Being mortal, children die, yet, all who may die are not damned. One of the unknown fighters at “Yahoo! Answers” who uses the ID “Anonymous” (the required profile information is withheld) posted the following question infused with subtle accusations against divinity:
Christians what could a newborn child have done that would have made him evil and okay to be drowned in god's great flood?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. (Isaiah 55: 6-13, KJV)

“Anonymous”, because their questions are only intended to challenge divinity and are not for obtaining divine nourishment, sacred knowledge, and spiritual growth, most human sinners and the unclean spirits are unable to consider and grasp the following points:
(1.) Such aspects of divine order as Creation, existence, Judgment, purity, and eternal purpose are not determined upon the basis of affection, behavior, desire, emotion, preferences and other features residing within the character and nature of created beings and living creatures.
(2.) Those who believe what has been revealed by GOD to clarify the operations of Deity, also accept that only those “born again” (i.e. who experience comprehensive and permanent changes of their inner spirit) acquire the new understandings for language, meanings and values that are vital for being in harmony with the heart and mind of GOD. For divinity, the Great Flood continues divine law, the existence of earth and heaven, and maintenance of the entire universe. Those apart from divinity only may understand the Great Flood as a natural event resulting from the mechanics of such features as air currents, erosion, fissures, and changes in temperature.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually understood. (For example, (3.) We have to see “with new eyes.” Ones chronological age and the measure of their temporal duration is not a condition that establishes spiritual perfection. Only by operations of GOD do a fetus or centenarian have genuine relationship that constitutes eternal life, not merely mortality. The young also may receive aspects of the divine makeup through the Spirit imparted from GOD such as faith, holiness, joy, longsuffering, reverence, and resilience. However, aggressiveness, competitiveness, dependency, lack of meekness (readiness to be taught of GOD), parental corruption with many other conditions and qualities from social reality upon the earth oppose human offspring coming to full maturity and sacred perfection.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
