"in the bosom of the Father" is an intimate image where an honored guest reclines at supper: Luk 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

But more blessed still shall be their rulers and the rulers of the nations; for they shall not die any more (Luke20:, 36), and they shall inherit the land for ever.
But, ultimately, death will be abolished in all the earth. Its subjugation, however, comes last in order: all other enemies are got out of the way first; and then the greatest and most formidable is removed for ever.
On what principle? Seeing that all the saved pertaining to this and past dispensations will be admitted to eternal life at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and associated with him in the government of the world, on what principle are the mortal subjects of Messiah's reign to be dealt with, so as to admit of their participation in the glorious gift of immortality?
"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city; and fire came down from. God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Isaiah 33:12 And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime: [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
Who is "THEM? " The enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs. They shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away" (Ps. 37:20).
What about the "OTHERS?"
"For evil doers shall be cut off; but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth; for yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be; yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be; but the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace" (Ps. 37:9-11).

Obviously John writes 1:18 after Jesus' had been resurrected, and had returned to Heaven and sat down at the right hand of the Father. Jesus had declared much about the Father from his birth throughout his life to the time that the Father raised Him up and sat Him at His own right hand. What specifics about the Father did he declare (exegete)? What were individuals able to read-out of his life?
