Scripture predicted the obvious. I could have told you that. Also, that earthquakes and wars would occur, and that Christians would be opposed and declaimed.
Was it the Lord's choice to unleash Satan on earth and stand by and watch, or did Satan overpower Him?
In my experience, people do so better without religion. Where is the Golden Rule in Christianity's attempts to impose its values on the rest of us using the force of government? Do you think that means that Christians want the rest of us to impose atheism on them as they would impose Christian values on the rest of us? Secular humanism advocates for freedoms such as choice and same sex marriage. That's what I would want from Christians. Does the Golden Rule come into play there?
No. It never does. They have no intention of allowing either of those if they can forbid them.
There 'is' a limited time frame for the devil according to Revelation 12:2,9 and for the wicked as per Psalms 37:9-10.
I find that Jesus will destroy Satan according to Hebrews 2:14 B.
Satan contends that God's Rule is corrupted and people would be happier ruling themselves.
So, Satan contends that God as Sovereign is unworthy to be Sovereign. Better off ruling one's self.
( People even think they can self rule themselves and still continue to live after death )
By God allowing the passing of time allows for us to be born and think who we would like as Sovereign.
By giving us free-will choices we can all choose independence from God or not.
We all have the right, and ability, to choose, but Not the right to choose from God's ' can't do list '.
We are Not free to steal, murder, etc. so we are Not free to misuse free-will choices.
We are all free to act responsibly toward God and others.
The Golden Rule allows to treat others with respect whether Christian or not.
Not just that earthquakes would happen but as Luke 21:11 uses the adjective ' GREAT ' earthquakes.
All of the present-day conditions on Earth are also connected to Matthew 24:14; Acts of the Apostles 1:8.
In other words, never before in history has there been such a vast international proclaiming about God's kingdom government of Daniel 2:44 as there is today. Even modern technology has made rapid Bible translation possible so that people even in remote areas of Earth have access to Scripture in their own mother tongue or native language.
So, I find what the Bible foretells has come to pass and we will see the rest of the fulfillment at the soon coming ' time of separation' to take place on Earth according to Matthew 25:31-33,37.
