The other day I pointed out the divine flip side to this to a nitwit repeating slanders against the Lord because He permits evil and even just bad things to happen.
If the Lord takes down Satan then He takes down everyone following Satan too. The door of grace, of forgiveness and salvation closed in an instant.
There will be a day, fast approaching I think, when that door will be closed on all the unsaved of this generation who follow the beast (because otherwise no more anywhere would be redeemed) but until then the Father’s forbearance that Paul speculated of remains in place: “What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?” ... Romans 9:22-24
Bring it on!
I would like nothing better than for God to immediately and instantly obliterate and annihilate all evil in the universe!
No more suffering!
