The Bible on Trial

Red Flag~

Tragedy comes in many forms, and on many levels. Having to put a beloved pet to sleep is a tragedy, but it is not on the same scale as having to bury a parent, or a good friend. Saying goodby to an Aunt or Uncle is sad, but the recovery time is short, because you know they lived a full and productive life, and their memory will be cherished as you move forward into the future.

 But there is a loss that borders on being inconievable and inconsolable, where the memory of that person will be tainted with regret that life was cut short due to know fault of their own making, and that is of a parent having to bury their young child. When illness or disease takes an infant, or a cancer fight taking the life of a teenager is always a hard thing; but at the very least you had time to love them, and help them deal with their passing.

This past week 19 families in Texas are having to deal with a reality that did not allow a final goodby before their child was cruely taken from them by a deranged killer. One minute their child is safe as school, the next they are being brought out of the classroom in a body bag, because a mentally ill person shot them to death, and final goodby's  were not said.

The question that will be asked when this hapens is, "Why did God allow this to happen?" The answer in not one that most people want to hear, and is proven by the result; God is powerless to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening, because God is NOT the ruler of this world, Satan is. Satan will do anything to prevent God from winning back this world, including murdering innocent children in order to move forward his agenda of a one-world government, Rather than having a Kingdom of Righteousness, Satan wants a kngdom of darkness, and he will do and say anything to achieve it.

Ultimateluy Satan will lose because God's Kingdom will prevail, and all those lost will be restored to life.
