Re: Your statement, "At least, this is my belief. I see the universe (as a whole) becoming God-like in its final state prior to its infinite spacetime expansion (bringing about the final measurement [judgement] and a new heavens and new 'earth')".

There will be no judgement, no new heaven, no new earth.

The spiritual realm is accessible and tangible to the spirit but intangible and immaterial by the physical existence. The sphere of the physical existence is not being controlled manipulated, or interacted by the spiritual. Inspirational and blessing receptions by the spirit is our only interaction with the spiritual existence, which is then translated by the conscious mind. The Ultimate Truth is indecipherable by the human mind and can only be divulged to the spirit which also often misinterprets its meaning, hence we have various religions and beliefs.

A deserving (clean) spirit consists of ethics, morality, good deeds, kindness, consideration for and helping others; being "righteous" insures the survival of the soul. When the body dies, any soul that is not transmitted, and has not bonded with God, dies; it simply ceases to exist.

The conscience is guided by its capacity to disseminate between pure and improper acceptable social norms. A determination is made by the conscience to abide by either the pure and proper, or to stretch the norm.

Deeds contrary to purity eventually anesthetizes the conscience and lines of communication with the spirit and God are severed. Evil is not adaptable to, or compatible with Pure Intelligence.

The cultural norm deduces acceptable proper behavior. If one lives thereby, the conscience is clear and no deity in the spiritual realm will judge or condemn anyone.
