Are you satisfied when you look around at all the intolerance, hatred, wars, corruption, pestilence, environmental desecration, and general mayhem that god is in control and running a tight ship? ---------------------------- Quokka, the Scriptures explain the ''general mayhem'' is a result of Satan being in control. (1 John 5:19) We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.
Jesus acknowledged that fact, but also made it clear that was going to change. (John 12:31) Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
(Revelation 20:1-3) And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand. He seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for 1,000 years. And he hurled him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were ended. After this he must be released for a little while.
