Have you ever wondered why God has permitted Satan and those who follow him to keep polluting the earth? I have.
Notice, in the following passage how God, when He was through using them to accomplish His purposes, burned up the army of the wicked:
They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. (Revelation 20:9)
“Fire came down from heaven and devoured them.” Have you noticed that there are multitudes of rebellious people in the world today? Why doesn’t God just make the earth a better place to live by burning up all the wicked people?
When we understand the answer to this mystery we will have gone a long way to answer many of the questions raised by people concerning God, His salvation, and His righteousness.
I am taking into account that God waits patiently for some who might possibly turn to the Lord. But I believe there is more to this question than God’s patience with the unsaved.
Perhaps we need to go back to the Book of Job to begin to get an answer to the question why God, if He has the power to do so, does not remove wicked people from the earth
