Isaiah 45:22-23
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
Romans 14:11
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Philippians 2:9-11
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

It talks about judgement. Read on in Isaiah.
By myself I have sworn,
my mouth has uttered in all integrity
a word that will not be revoked:
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear.
24 They will say of me, 'In the LORD alone
are righteousness and strength.' " All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame.25 But in the LORD all the descendants of Israel
will be found righteous and will exult.
and Romans: For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. 11It is written:
" 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord,
'every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will confess to God
And you know what happens at God's judgement, don't you? The sheep are separated from the goats, and Lord Jesus will declare :
"It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

Yes it speaks of Judgment and ALL of Gods judgments are CORRECTIVE in nature, thus every knee will worship Him in religious veneration.
So maybe you or Richard can explain how people who worship God in religious veneration are eternally torment or annihilated.
Even the criminals in court stand up to hear the sentence to honor the judge when they are sentenced to prison or even death?
But do they bow in religious veneration? is your religious veneration somehow different then theirs?
And criminals don't stand up to honor the judge, they stand up in defience to the judge.
