John 17:2, "As Thou (GOD the Father) has given Him (Jesus the Son) power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as thou has given Him."
In many translations the 'over all flesh' says 'over all people,' but when you look at the original Greek writing the word 'people' is the Greek word basar which means FLESH. As has already been shared in past posts, flesh means all flesh whether it is the flesh of men or animals. Flesh is flesh whether it is that of man, beasts of the field, birds of the air, fish of the sea, creeping things; which includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, even insects! In the Garden of Eden, each group of flesh had its purpose. They were even brought to Adam to give them their names. (Genesis 2:19-20)
Christ Jesus created them all!
John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. He (Jesus) was with GOD in the beginning." Jesus is the Word.
John 1:3, "Through Him (Jesus) ALL THINGS WERE MADE. Without Him (Jesus) nothing was made that has been made."
This brings us back to Jesus having all the power over all the flesh He has created. Man in the fallen state has to answer for his own sin because he was made in the image of GOD. (Genesis 1:26) The animals are not accountable for sin because they are not made in His image.
Jesus is GOD in the flesh Who came to be our sin bearer. Those who accept Him paying the penalty for their sin, have been forgiven and receive eternal life with Him. Those who refuse His free gift of salvation will receive eternal punishment in the Lake of Fire that burns forever and ever. (Revelation 20:12-15)
Acts 16:31, "Believe in the LORD Jesus and you will be saved; you and your whole household!"
Revelation 20:12-15, The dead in Christ (those not accepting His free gift of salvation) are judged. "Anyone whose name was not found written in the Lamb's Book of Life were thrown into the lake of fire." Jesus is the Lamb slain for the peoples' of the world sins. (John 1:29)
The animals are not included in this judgment. They did not sin. They will be brought back to life on the New Earth.
Romans 8:21, "The creatures themselves will be liberated from death and decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of GOD!"
