Can you explain why God does nothing to feed the thousands of children who are slowly starving to death? Why does God allow men to rape women by the million and do nothing to stop it?
Starvation and rape are aspects of a godless world. They are proof positive that the godless world is a violent world of degredation that has no right to exist. But one cannot say that the godless world has no right to exist until it reveals its true nature.
Scripturally speaking this godless world is going to be allowed to exist until it reveals its true nature. Jesus gave us a clue as to what that means at Matthew 24:22 wherein he speaks of a time to come when "no flesh will be saved" except that the "days will be cut short".
What does that mean? It means that this godless world will bring us to the brink of total annilahation but that the days will be cut short before that happens. Two questions: who brings us to the brink of destruction and who cuts short the days?
The godless world of starvation and rape is the world that determines to destroy us all; the God who created us is the One who saves us from them.
He will allow this godless world of starvation and rape to exist up to the point where all life is imperilled and then he will step in and bring it to an end. And no one will be able to argue with it. And all of the victims of the world that he allowed to exist will be healed of all that they have experienced.
