I have an alternative theory.
The earth is a chessboard and the two chess players are God and Satan. I believe this is the second game in their best of 7 series. The first game ended in a draw and that was the ice age that killed everything.
Gods first move in game 2 was Adam and Eve. God’s last move was the Berlin Wall coming down and the fall of the Soviet Empire.
I believe that Satan’s latest move was the Arab Spring. So now we are waiting on God to make his next move? It could happen tomorrow or 200 years from now.
If this was a game (No, I do not live in Colorado or Washington) what do you think God’s next move is?
If this was a game (No, I do not live in Colorado or Washington) what do you think Gods next move is?
To upend the chess board, placing the opponent in chains for a thousand years while placing his Son on the throne in Jerusalem....
There never was an end-game except in Satan’s mind!
