ROM 9:19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?”
- Knowing the angelic conflict.
2. Knowing the glorification of God.
3. Knowing no man after the flesh.
4. Others.
5. Bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
What is this will that individuals seem to resist, although it will inevitably be accomplished?
ISA 46:8-11, “Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; {I am} God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’ Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man of My purpose from a far country. Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned {it, surely} I will do it.”
“What is this will that individuals seem to resist, although it will inevitably be accomplished?”
“Why the creation of man?”
“Why did God allow sin?”
“Why did God create the human race knowing that they were going to fall and that the entire human race would be born in sin?”
In order to resolve the angelic conflict all members of the human race must have the same free will as angels.
- This free will can choose for or against the plan of God, as did the angels in eternity past.
- This free will is also the source of all human sin.
The primary source of temptation is the old sin nature, but the source of sin is volition.
GEN 2:16-17 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.”
Remember the subtlety of Satan who is a master at twisting things around so that the truth will be confused.
We know by Gen. 2:25 that: Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt NO shame.
GEN 3:1,“Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?”
To resolve the angelic conflict and concerning the will of God, all members of the human race must have the same free will that angels have.
TIT 3:5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
The efficacious saving work of Christ on the Cross is the basis for the strategic victory of the angelic conflict (COL 2:14-15; HEB 1:4-14, HEB 2).
“How can a loving God cast His creatures in the lake of fire?”
The same loving God forsook His one and only Son on the Cross while He was bearing the sins of the whole world.
HEB 10:1 For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.
HEB 10:2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?
HEB 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by Year.
HEB 10:4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
HEB 10:5 Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for Me;
HEB 10: 6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have taken no pleasure.”
HEB 10:7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come (In the scroll of the book it is written of Me) To do Your will, O God.”
HEB 10:8 After saying above, “Sacrifices and whole burnt offerings for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them,
HEB 10:9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.”
HEB 10:10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
HEB 10: 11 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
HEB 10:12 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God,
HEB 10:13 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet.
HEB 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
HEB 10:15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,
HEB 10: 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws upon their heart, And on their mind I will write them,” He then says,
HEB 10: 17 “And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
HEB 10:18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.
Who is the one who truly makes an issue out of personal sins?
The one who truly makes an issue out of personal sins is God’s enemy, Satan.
Every time someone makes an issue out of personal sin, you are seeing the same viewpoint of the devil, who in REV 12:10, is called “the accuser of our brethren.”
The efficacious saving work of Christ on the Cross is the basis for the strategic victory of the angelic conflict.
Christ is now the issue, not sin or human good.
Just as we use our volition to sin, so also we use our volition to choose for or against the plan of God.
God allows these things to take place as a part of His will.
Answers the 2nd question concerning the will of God :
“Why did God allow sin?”
The third question concerning the will of God: “Why chaos on planet earth?”
1CO 14:33, for God is not a God of confusion but of peace; The chaos is only terminated by the Second Advent of Christ and His Millennial reign.
The real problem is the insufficiency and inadequacy of Satan.
Satan does not have the power, or the ability to control all the inhabitants of the world nor the ability to produce perfect environment on the earth.
The 3rd question concerning the will of God: “Why chaos on planet earth?”
Answer: Because of Satan’s inability to be like God, chaos exists.
Satan would love to have people think that chaos exists because he is making it chaotic rather than because of the fact that he cannot control it.
Christian activism is a movement that is ignorantly trying to help Satan clean up his world and make it a better place to live.
1.Social engineering is a concept in political science that refers to efforts to influence popular attitudes and social behavior on a large scale.
2CO 4:4, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
- Social engineering is the act of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information.
- Social engineering is the practice of tricking a user into giving, or giving access to sensitive information, thereby bypassing most or all protection and freedom.
GAL 5:1, It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
- Social engineering is the gaining of privileged information as from a computer system by an unauthorized person masquerading as a legitimate user.
- Social engineering is the art and science of getting people to comply to your wishes.
- Social engineering is the art of manipulating persons in order to bypass security measures and tools.
- The purpose of social engineering is to obtain confidential information about others through the use of deception, manipulation, or persuasion to obtain information by illicit means.
- In the religious realm, social engineering means trying to force biblical principles on society.
Political science, the systematic study of governance by the application of empirical and generally scientific methods of analysis.
As traditionally defined and studied, political science examines the state and its organs and institutions.
Political science broadly refers to the study of governments, public policies and political behavior both in the United States and abroad, according to the American Political Science Association.
In the spiritual realm, political engineering means trying to control the government with principles from the Bible.
God controls EVERYTHING!
There is NO SPIRITUAL FORMULA…
What are the Divine Decrees?
The free will of man and the sovereign will of God co-exist together.
This arrogance manifests itself in the fact that most Christians don’t have a clue about the spiritual life or the Christian way of life.
Arrogance can manifest itself in ignorance.
To outlaw a certain segment of society because they do not adhere to Christian principles is a disaster.
The devil sponsors Christian activism and social and political engineering because that is his way of getting believers involved in the improvement of the devil’s world.
Our Lord Himself anticipated this problem when He said “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.” (MAT 22:15-22)
“Render unto Caesar” refers to establishment activity and being a good citizen of your nation.
“Render unto God” includes the execution of the Plan of God.
Most believers are trying to get rid of the chaos on planet earth and in doing so they are helping the devil try to counterfeit the Millennial reign of Christ.
Satan does not have the power to provide for mankind in the way that he wants to, nor does he have the ability to delegate the necessary authority to the human race.
He cannot duplicate God’s grace provision in the believer’s escrow account. Satan has counterfeit’s for all these things, but they simply do not work.
One of the worst times in human history were the Middle ages when religion was in charge.
The chaos that exists is simply an expression of Satan’s failure to pull together under his great power the successful rulership of this world.
Satan has inevitably failed, as illustrated by the presence of sin, evil and human good in the world.
It’s questionable as to whether Satan is really happy with all the resultant evil in the world, -- manifest in degeneracy, --- since Satan is trying to prove that he’s good and that he can come up with a system as good as “God’s good”.
The inevitable consequences of man’s involvement in Satan’s cosmic system is chaos.
Psychologically, socially, personally, nationally, and internationally.
Man’s folly in rejecting God’s plan-first at salvation, then in the PPOG, brings chaos, unfairness, evil and disaster into the world from both believers and unbelievers.
ANGELIC OBSERVATION: Angels watch to see if believers will get sucked into Satan’s plans and operations for the improvement of cosmos diabolicus [the world of the devil] or if the believer will remain in the PPOG and have historical impact.
The works of Satan can only be destroyed or nullified by the believer’s function inside the PPOG under the omnipotence of the Holy Spirit.
The Cross broke the back of Satan while the believer’s function inside the PPOG destroys his philosophical attitude toward life.
The believer involved in the cosmic system actually becomes the disciple of Satan, because he is not in the PPOG which destroys or nullifies the work of the devil.
- Mankind does not possess the power to perpetuate or guarantee peace on the earth. There will always be wars and rumors of wars until Jesus Christ returns, MAT 24:6-7.
Beware of politicians who reject and diminish the military, EZE 13:10-16.
Beware of the liberal clergy, who manufacture lies about world peace, JER 6:13-14.
- All failure of client nations to God includes both the spiritual and establishment principles, HOS 4:1-6.
HOS 4:1 Listen to the word of the Lord, O sons of Israel, For the Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land, Because there is no faithfulness or kindness Or knowledge of God in the land.
HOS 4:2 There is swearing, deception, murder, stealing and adultery.
They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed.
HOS 4:3 Therefore the land mourns, And everyone who lives in it languishes Along with the beasts of the field and the birds of the sky, And also the fish of the sea disappear.
HOS 4:4 Yet let no one find fault, and let none offer reproof; For your people are like those who contend with the priest.
HOS 4:5 So you will stumble by day, And the prophet also will stumble with you by night; And I will destroy your mother.
HOS 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
The failure of believers to execute God’s plan and purpose results in a shrinking pivot of mature believers and the rejection of establishment principles.
- The Fantasy Notion.
Politicians seeking power with utopian plans destroy a national entity.
Utopianism involves the dreams and schemes of an imaginary, divorced from reality status of political and social perfection.
Utopianism is the Satanic concept of the millennium brought on by the work of mankind rather than by the work of God.
Utopianism not only rejects the biblical eschatology of the millennium but ignores the total depravity of mankind and the need for regeneration and establishment principles delineated in the Scripture.
- God has ordained nationalism in the human race to protect it from self-destruction, Acts 17:24-27.
- Utopian socialism is an economic system based on the premise that if capital voluntarily surrendered its ownership of means of production to the state and the workers, unemployment and poverty would be abolished.
There is no spiritual formula…
There are miracles, there are divine appointments, and divine interventions but never ever is there a human ability that will make this world a better place…
The word of God teaches that you must always have capitalism and free enterprise. Capitalism is the only economic system that creates prosperity.
- Jesus Christ controls history.
- He controls history through the function of His divine essence.
b. He controls history as a judge of the supreme court of heaven.
c. He controls history through the pivot of mature believers in the client nation. - He controls history through the preservation of Israel against all anti-Semitism functions both Satanic and sin nature conspiracy.
- He controls history through the preservation of planet earth during the course of human history.
He not only created the universe, HEB 1:10, but He holds the universe together by the word of His power, HEB 1:3. - He controls history through the second Advent, which terminates the last and greatest world war of history.
- He controls history through the utilization of the wrath of man to praise Him, PSA 76:10.
PSA 76:10 For the wrath of mankind shall praise You; You will encircle Yourself with a remnant of wrath.
Because Pharaoh was unrelenting and didn’t let the people go, it furthered God’s potential for glory through sending more miracles…
It was “the wrath of man directed by God” that caused the Midianites to turn on themselves and slaughter their own people, -- thus giving victory to the Israelites -- and the glory goes - to God.
Through opposition, God’s power is given a chance to thrive and to shine in ways it might not have otherwise.
