Greetings brothers and friends. Today I want to share with the great family of SteemChurch a very discussed topic that has brought diverse opinions in the families of the earth about the power of God and the influence that exerts in the consequences of the nations, and the actions of the human being.
We often hear: "If God is real, and almighty, why is there so much misery in men, because there are so many children dying of hunger, because so much evil ...?" Are questions without answers that man is today, and that question the only true God, owner and creator of all mankind.
The Bible says in the book of Nehemiah 9: 6 "Only you are the Lord. You made the heavens, the heavens of the heavens with all their army, the earth and all that is in it, the seas and everything that is in them. You give life to all of them and the army of heaven prostrates before you "
Evidently this verse argues who is the creator and owner of the universe. However, we read in Luke 4: 5-6, "And the devil took him to a high mountain, and showed him in a moment all the kingdoms of the earth. And the devil said to him, To you I will give all this power, and their glory: for to me it is given, and to whom I will I give it. "
"Again the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him: "All this I will give you, if you prostrate you will worship me" (Matthew 4: 8-9)
SEEN ARISES THEN TO WHOM DOES THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD BELONG?
There are things in the world that have owners, but that do not belong to them. Today there are people who have taken over many things and who are under his hand and authority, but they do not belong to him. Example of this we see in this attitude of satan to offer the kingdoms of this world to Jesus if prostrate worship him.
Observe the reality that the governments of the world have satan legally and that is why he told Jesus that whoever he wants he gives them, for which he was a real temptation to Jesus (Luke 4: 5-8 was illogical that Satan tempted a lie to Jesus who knows the truth).
It is essential to bear in mind, that this is one of the reasons that today men ignore when thinking that God is not almighty, because there are so many negative influences that are imposed in the world, bringing so much misery and pain. Then they question God asking "if God exists, because he is absent in the face of so much pain". The truth to this is that God remains God and simply satan, has authority granted by God on this world, from the moment Adam sinned, because God gave Adam and Eve the world to exercise on him. But they sinned and gave entrance to their lives to become the god of this world.
In this way satan is beginning to be the prince of this world. When man turns his back on God and begins to walk in disobedience, then the enemy takes the place of God.
OBSERVE: Jesus, being God, son, being God in flesh and blood, has the attributes of God, is one God in three persons (Father, son, holy spirit) God is omniscient, that is, God knows and knows everything, therefore, Jesus knew everything and knew that in reality satan had (and still has) authority over all the kingdoms of the world or the planet.
The same Lord Jesus, recognized on other occasions the authority that God has allowed to satan, on this world, and therefore on their kingdoms, this Jesus pointed out, when he recognized and called satan the prince of this world, this is can read in John 12:31 and John 14:30, even the apostle Paul, comes to call satan the god of this world in 2 Corinthians 4.4.
Consider this illustration. "If a person you know tempts you by saying I will give you my house if you do such a thing, that would be a real temptation if you know that person really owns that house, but if you know that friend does not own any house , there is no temptation to the tempter's lack of ability to satisfy the desire with which he
wants to tempt. "
What I want to explain to you is that satan is the prince of this world but not above the authority of God, nor is he the absolute owner where he exercises authority.
And Jesus did not deny satan's assertion, that's why satan operates by controlling human governments and governors. It can be understood that satan is not the absolute owner of the kingdoms, but simply has authority granted by God on this world, since Adam and Eve sinned.
Obviously, the same man has given entrance to the enemy in his home, family, work, nation ... without understanding that God does not force man to serve him, but expects all men to repent and seek him from the heart, so that they can be guided by God.
As the bible indicates in Revelation 11:15 it will be after the 7 years of the tribulation that the kingdoms pass to the control, domination and total and legitimate possession of Jesus. "The seventh angel sounded the trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying: THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD HAVE BEEN UPON OUR LORD AND HIS CHRIST, and he will reign for ever and ever."
This verse clearly indicates that the kingdoms of the world today are not of God or of his Christ (Jesus), therefore satan did not lie when he tempted Jesus by telling him that he had the kingdoms and could give them to him, if he is interested in the subject. I invite you to study it thoroughly when you find verses in the Bible that seem contradictory that shows that reality is more complex than it seems to be.
Jesus himself clarified in John 18:26 that his kingdom is not of this world, that is, it is not in this world or on this planet in this age, in this age. Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world, if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; But my kingdom is not from here."
The world is under the evil one. (See 1st letter of John chapter 5, verse 19)
It is evident then, anyone who sees the current governments of the world with problems, corruption, injustices, approving laws such as abortion, homosexual marriages, which are against the laws of God and know the character of
God revealed in the bible will realize after an honest analysis that such governments are in no way managed under the system of God.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4: 4 that the god of this century blinded the understanding of man so that the light of the gospel did not shine in him.
Beloved today, people do not realize who serves on this earth, simply because the god of this century has them bound, enslaved, frightened, deceived ... in believing that the world is suffering so much pain and suffering for God's sake, not , in the world there is so much pain and suffering, because man has not wanted to recognize the power and authority of God, man has not wanted to understand that the one who sins is a slave of sin. Man has not wanted to understand that satan came to the world to kill, to destroy, to deceive ... but God sent his son JESUS CHRIST to save the world.
The bible says: to which the son of man will free you will be truly free. There is a promise from God to all those who turn to him.
The promise is freedom, when you are free your spiritual eyes are open, and then you can enjoy life, you understand perfectly who is your owner, and whom you serve.
Blessings brothers of SteemChurch...
