God allowed it.

God will turn it into good, probably by turning more people to Him while there is still time, since by all indications we are nearing the end of the Age of Grace. I think that God is giving us a final chance/warning.

An example of God allowing something bad, in order to turn it into good is in Genesis. The sufferings of Joseph (physical, mental, and emotional agonies) had been allowed by God so that Joseph could fulfill God’s plan, which was to save many lives.

As for you (to Joseph's brother), you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. (Genesis 50:20).
