There are many passages of Scripture, old and new, which deal with the subject of God's Will. The first and best that comes to mind in reading the posts each of you has written to me is this one:

"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
~Matthew 6:10

Rationally we may conclude from this and many other evidences that we do not yet see and experience God's Will being done on earth as it already is being done in Heaven. That's my conclusion anyway. It is not that the Great and Glorious Creator does not know of or superintend over all that transpires, as if anything could take God by surprise, but rather that in His Overarching Plan we do not yet see all things brought under His Dominion and Righteousness.

But we will!

Evidently it is God's Will to gather His children to Himself out of sheer love for them, here on earth and in heaven. God is love: "Who lives in love lives in God and God in him."

Allah is pure will; there is no love there. As such he's more akin to the fallen angels. He asks men to die for him, not live with him in harmonious accord.

Thank you for your wonderful insights, dear .30carbine!
