Poor form.
If I write too many words to read, WHO will be the first to whine that it is too much to read ? A guy named Divegeester "waffle. hair dryer, etc."
Who are these people on “other worlds” sonship?
The "other worlds" is a potentiality in case creating "new heavens and new earth, which I make" in verse 22 entails any new worlds with living people or any other sentient possibilities that would benefit from knowing rebellion against the Creator was tried for a long time and ended in utter defeat.
If you want to insist that there will be NO OTHER WORLDS you may. But neither you nor I KNOW that for certain.
In case there are "other worlds" in eternity future as God does more creating, I believe the spectacle of the Satanic rebellion and its consequences will serve as a deterrence to any similar rebellion.
Now think about it a little bit Divegeester. In the one and only ancient revolt of Satan, his angels, his demons,. They had not PREVIOUSLY known about God's eternal judgment. Perhaps they Lucifer thought God was a pushover. They had been created never seen that righteous judgment side of the Creator.
Now I will grant that when generations AFTER, say, the flood of Noah, the destruction of Sodom, the judgment on Egypt, Canaanites, and even judged Israel, peoples of the world had reason for some deterrence. But they were not always deterred.
In eternity future, the last judgment should be the ultimate manifestation of the Satanic failure to any potential "other worlds" should there be any "other worlds".
If you want to say you know there will be no "other worlds," I would say "Maybe. But how do you KNOW that for certain?"
If you say " I don't like the hung out in chains part" I would say " Yes that does sound very bad. But the confinement (whether by chains or not) is evident to all of the rebels. And the ancient particularly wicked angels are said to have been in "eternal bonds" or "eternal chains" in Peter's and Jude's epistles.
By way of poetic license I agreed with Govette's imagery.
How much of a difference does it make if you insist "THERE WILL BE NO CHAINS !" ?
Okay, you hate the imagery of being hung up in chains. I don't like it either.
But it doesn't change what the Bible said about the angelic rebels in "everlasting
bonds [chains]"
You can say "I hope there are no other worlds to witness this. And I hope there are no being hung up in chains." I would say Okay. Hope that. But there is no reason for me to apologize for what I quoted from Govette.
Nor is there need for us to apologize for putting together some passages generally about the same matter - the manifestation of God's total defeat of His enemies.
