Daniel 3:23, Song of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, 39. "Bless the Lord all powers, sing praise to him and highly exalt him forever."
St. Paul tells us that our battle is not with flesh and blood, but with principalities and powers. These are the fallen angels, the demons. So not all powers bless the Lord, some are actively fighting against Him. Yet the proper order of things is reflected in this song of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. In that proper order, all things, including all powers, would bless the Lord. The fallen powers know this, but they have rebelled against it. They refused to serve, so they do not experience God's blessings, nor do they want to bless Him in return. They are outside the circle of communion that all are meant to have with the Creator, and their main goal is to bring as many of us as they can with them. It is so heartbreakingly sad, and so contrary to God's plan!
This is one of the things that makes me consider my question of whether God will not allow time to end until all things are reconciled to Him. I know this thought is very unorthodox, and I am not necessarily espousing it, but I am frequently drawn back to it. When I think of how God is (that is, He is being itself, nothing can exist outside of Him); how all things were created by Him to love and be loved by Him; that He is all-powerful, but will never impose His will on a creature with free will; about the value of Jesus' sacrifice, and that it was made in order to reconcile all things with the Father, all of these things come together to bring me back to the question I first wrote about in To Be Continued ... (until it's not) and then later in Ones and Zeros. In short, I wonder sometimes if time is the eternity Creation must pass through for God's plan to be complete; if it is the eternity that hell must last in order to achieve the ultimate, final reconciliation with God; if time, and thus eternity, will not end until the proper order can be fully restored, that is, it will continue as long as there is any soul or power not desiring to bless the Lord.
