Seems like God allows evil to reign for a season. While there is much ungodly evil in the land yet there are very many believers who have not aligned with the godless culture. We are a divided nation so that doesn’t bode well for the future. Only God knows for sure and we must trust and rely upon Him no matter what. This life is only temporary anyway.
“Seems like God allows evil to reign for a season.”
The Old Testament teaches us the human story:
- God blesses the people;
- the people soon take that for granted and turn away from Him;
- He warns them; they refuse to listen; He steps back, folds His arms and says “okay… YOU take charge; see how that works out for you”;
-the people fall on REAL hard times (evil reigns);
-when they’ve finally had enough, they REPENT and turn back to God.
Rinse and repeat.
You’re absolutely right. This temporary life is a mere snap of the fingers compared with eternity. One would be wise to use it - to figure out meaning and purpose for both now AND the long haul.
