The Angelic Conflict - Part 52 -
Point 14. - The Angelic Conflict In Human History Answers Basic Questions About Life -

A. Why the creation of man? Mankind was created to resolve the prehistoric angelic conflict.

B. Why sin? To resolve the angelic conflict all members of the human race must have the same free will as angels have.

In the original sin of man in the garden of Eden, there was the function of negative volition against a specific prohibition.

God said you could eat from any tree except one!

Satan said, “Has God said you shall not eat from any tree?”

God’s plan went on and God turned the curse into a blessing because at the cross, all human sin was judged while human good was rejected, Tit 3:5.

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.

If any accusation was made like how can a loving God cast His creatures in the lake of fire - the same loving God forsook His Son on the cross while He was bearing the sins of the whole world.

The cross broke the back of Satan.

At the cross that same character of God condemned His own perfect impeccable Son while bearing our sins.

Just as we use our volition to sin, we use our volition to choose for or against the plan of God.

Sin exists because God gave His creatures free will, and they have chosen from that free will to violate certain divine standards.

c. 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.

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.

Satan would love to have more people think that chaos exists because he is making it chaotic, rather than because he cannot control it!

Christian activism is a movement that is blindly and ignorantly trying to help Satan clean up his world and make it a better place to live.

Social engineering = trying to force Biblical principles on society.

Political engineering = trying to control the government with principles from the Bible.

To outlaw a certain segment of society because they do not adhere to Christian principles is a disaster.

The devil sponsors Christian activism because that is his way of getting believers involved in the improvement of the devil’s world.

Christian activism = Church-age believer is involved in temporal solutions to the problems of life when spiritual solutions are available.

Satan cannot improve on the laws of divine establishment.

He cannot duplicate God’s predesigned plan.

Satan does not have the power to provide for mankind in the way that he wants to, nor to delegate the necessary authority to the human race.

He cannot duplicate God’s grace provision in the believer’s escrow account.

Arrogance results in chaotic activism, crusades of morality, human good, evil, socialism, violence, distortion, and disaster.

Although Satan is the super-genius of all time, the world is too much for him to rule.

The chaos that exists is an expression of Satan’s failure to pull together under his great power the successful rulership of this world.

Every Satanic program and attempt to bless mankind in his kingdom always results in evil, human good, crusader arrogance, social engineering, socialism, communism, plus all the folly of rulers.

It’s questionable if 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 his system is as good as God’s.

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.

Angels watch to see if believers will get sucked into Satan’s plans and operations for the improvement of cosmos diabolicus, 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.
