“…as I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall give praise to God.” (Rom 14:11)

 “I am the Lord, and there is no other; the One forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these… Israel has been saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you [Israel] will not be put to shame or humiliated to all eternity… there is no other God besides Me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none except Me. Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness and will not turn back, that to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. They will say of Me, ‘Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength.’ Men will come to Him, and all who were angry with Him shall be ashamed. In the Lord all the offspring of Israel will be justified, and will glory.” (Isa 45:7, 17, 21b-25)

“And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all the peoples, even the veil which is stretched over all nations. He will swallow up death for all time. And the Lord God will wipe tears away from all faces, and He will remove the reproach of His people [the anti-Semitism] from all the earth.” (Isa 25:7-8)

“In Him [Jesus] all things were created, both in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through Him and for [unto] Him. He is before all things and in Him all things hold together [endure]… for it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fulness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross…” (Col 1:16-20)

“For from Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.” (Rom 11:36)

“… an administration suitable to the fulness of the times, that is the summing up of all things in Christ, things in heaven and things upon the earth.” (Eph 1:10)

Yeah. It’s there all right. One day God will be “all in all” (1 Cor 15:28) I know, hell has its place, too. But ultimately every knee will bow to the risen Christ and confess that He is indeed Lord, to the glory of the Father. We have His promise.
