Why is there Such Evil in the World?


How could that man in Cleveland be so evil?  What did these girls do in their lives to deserve such treatment?  But it’s not just what happened in Cleveland.  Why did the Boston bombers do what they did?  Why did Newtown happen?  Or we can go to Colorado and ask about why what happened in that movie theater in Aurora happened.  Or we could ask why Columbine.  We can go back in history and time and ask why there was such evil in one person named Hitler, who was responsible for the holocaust and the death of more than six million Jews.  Or we could ask why 9-11 happened.  We can ask why we have pain and suffering.
Some would suggest that it is medieval or that it isn’t modern thinking to believe that good and evil is the battle between God and Satan, but I would suggest that this is EXACTLY why these events have occurred in the history of the world and why they will continue to occur.  Satan isn’t finished yet.  I won’t suggest that God is behind all the disasters of the world or that God is the cause of have pain and suffering in our lives.  What I am going to suggest is that because EVERY person who lives on the face of this earth will die, God allows Satan to take Human Life ANY way he wants to take Human Life.  Satan can cause so much physical and psychological pain in a person that he will motivate those who suffer from such pain to take their own lives.  Satan will do ANYTHING he can do to motivate people to take Human Life.  He hates humanity that much.  He will do ANYTHING he is capable of doing to cause death, destruction, and pain.  This is the just part of the battle that has been taking place between God and Satan in the life of EVERY human being since the foundation of the world.  Death IS the result of sin.
My Angels told me that if we knew what heaven was like, we would be falling all over ourselves trying to get in. God might allow Satan to cause any kind of destruction in the world he can cause, but the fact is that Satan will NOT win this war.  It IS spiritual warfare, but instead of thinking that this warfare is just a broad brushstroke of EVIL, it is really about Human Life.  Satan will do ANYTHING he is capable of doing to cause people to take Human Life.  It’s the ONLY thing Satan is able to do other than to cause destruction by natural means of the world.  God allows Satan to do this because God has a place for those who do NOT take Human Life, including that of their own lives.  If we knew what heaven was like we would be falling all over ourselves trying to get in.  Therefore, in the history of the world, there have always been people who have in some way understood this battle that is taking place and has been taking place between God and Satan, and these people have been people of Peace, even in the face of great pain and suffering.
We can see the beauty of God’s handiwork in nature.  We can see His beauty in the birth of a child.  We can see the beauty of God even in others.  Satan IS destructive.  He wants humanity to actually destroy this world ANY way he can motivate people to destroy it.  And most of the destruction of this world by humanity is for monetary gain.  It’s not that money itself is evil, but it’s what people will do for money.  I just saw on Google how this earth has changed in the past 30 years by showing satellite images on areas of this world and the changes that have taken place in the last 30 years.  One can’t see those images and NOT worry about what human beings are doing to this earth.  Satan IS the god of pain, destruction, and death.  My thinking is that he wants this earth to himself.  But God won’t let him have it.  This battle between God and Satan is still going on in the form of the Great Battle that is now taking place.  We are in the days of Armageddon and/or the Apocalypse.  But instead of being raptured from this world, I say that the ONLY prophecy left is for the Messiah to come.  I don’t believe this earth and even humanity can hold out much longer without either destroying the world or even destroying ourselves. Satan has devised so many ways to take Human Life including using 3D printers to make guns.  It’s just another way for Stan to motivate people to take Human Life.  He will do ALL he can do to motivate people to take the lives of others.  Any efforts to stop him might seem futile at best.
But this is why I believe that the Messiah is on the horizon.  As resilient as people might be, as we have seen in the lives of those three women in Cleveland and in the families who have lost loved ones to Satan’s bullets, I am not sure humanity can hang on alone much longer.  We need for the Messiah to come and in my thinking He can’t come soon enough.  Peace.  Brother Ralphie
