On the 6th day God looked at all He made and saw that it was good. Then, apparently not long after, Satan tempted Eve; Eve tempted Adam; Adam sinned, and it all changed. We, all of us have become astranged with God. God has begun working this out at the cross. However, the world is still far from perfect.

Satan is still the prince of the air. He is still going about the earth as a roaring lion, devouring those that he can. Pain, agony, death is still among us. Indeed, even within the best Christian person, evil thoughts linger. With prayer, we have to fight such things off daily, even by the hour.

If not for the grace of God, it would be far worse. If he simply took his hand away, this earth would become far worse, not only for mankind, but also for every living thing.

The liberals speak of man as destoying this planet, by polution, by destroying forests, by ruining the rivers, lakes and seas. In a way, it’s true. In a way, it is even Biblical. Everywhere man goes, he leaves his mark. It is undeniable. And so it will be until Jesus returns.

Ultimately, God will destroy it because of the evil of man. Then, He will build another, without sin, without evil. Best of all, there will be no death and the pain it envokes.

Until that time, sorry. The death and pain and the sorrow will linger. The tears will remain. It is the result of evil.

Ironically, some have suggested that the solution is more evil. Some even suggest we should kill, of all, the most innocent before they breath their first. Some suggest an evil form of government that denys the very presence of the vary one who can save it. Some individuals have claimed they have the answers, while all the time taking every dime you have. For sure, participating in the worst kind of evil.

Many survivorlists think the answer is isolation and preparation. I have news for them. Being human, the pain will follow. There is no running from it. Satan will follow, all the time, nipping at your hills.

I don’t pretend to have all the solutions. I don’t. I do know one thing. Adopting communism won’t work. It denys God. It will turn the bad to disaster. Not only is it historic, it’s prophetic. It is the path that leads to pain, suffering, and, eventually, death.
