Sabbath study, i: why does God allow evil?

Minor spoiler: the real reason God permits the continuation of genocidal Zionist atrocities will be exposed with clarity.

[from now on, perhaps I may try to write a Bible study every seventh-day weekly sabbath as long as this publication continues]

One of the easiest counterarguments to the baseline Christian exposition of a good and just God is the retort, “why then would God allow innocent people to suffer through so much evil on this planet?” I assume you either heard of this argument or possibly (some of you) even believe it to some extent yourselves.

Because I don’t intend on being a garden-variety attention-baiting obnoxious scammer, I will get to the point already: Satan, after he fell from heaven, posed a false dilemma before God between the principles of justice and mercy, purporting the two as mutually and eternally irreconcilable. (hmm… does this alone not answer your question? keep reading!) The devil, after he was expelled subsequent to his failed rebellion, decried the justice of God that punished him for his actions by lamenting its (supposed) lack of exhibited mercy towards him, claiming before all the created angels—both fallen and unfallen—that God’s executive decision to expel Satan and his host from heaven was proof that the Creator was an iron-fisted tyrannical dictator defined by cruelty towards His creation by banishing those opposing his rule to a consigned fate of permanent separation with no compassion.

Lucifer/Satan, by posing that ultimatum, believed that he could perpetually keep Jehovah in an uncomfortable bind: if he and his fellow fallen angelic followers were annihilated from existence too soon in such a way that would just at least appear to validate his underlying point, then the unfallen angels in heaven would view God as a pointlessly dictatorial tyrant and gradually all follow Satan’s lead into rebellion and departure from serving Jehovah. On the flipside, Satan’s gamble was that if God therefore perpetually sustained his existence, then Satan would therefore perpetually and indefinitely thrive to sow rebellion against Jehovah and always maintain his own war against his very Creator to his own eternal ends.

How do I come to this conclusion? Because the mentality of Satan is reflected in his adherents—here’s a relevant passage to pay close attention to:¹

Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous, he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

…because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another, not as Cain — of the evil one he was, and he did slay his brother, and wherefore did he slay him? because his works were evil, and those of his brother righteous.

Because there is nothing new under the sun,² we can take a loftily nice glimpse of how Satan must’ve responded to God by looking at Cain’s non-repentant lamentation towards Jehovah after hearing his punishment for murdering Abel:³

And Jehovah saith unto Cain, ‘Where [is] Abel thy brother?’ and he saith, ‘I have not known; my brother’s keeper — I?’

And [Jehovah] saith, ‘What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood is crying unto Me from the ground; and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand; when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee — a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.’

And Cain saith unto Jehovah, ‘Greater is my punishment than to be borne; lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been — every one finding me doth slay me.’

Notice how Cain complained? He did not repent of his deed, and instead, he bemoans the justly imposed punishment upon him as too harsh to bear, a.k.a. it lacked mercy towards him. What Cain in his duplicitous mind implied before Jehovah was that it was impossible for God to represent both universal mercy and universal justice, and that if God served justice upon Cain, then that would “prove” Cain’s point about God not being a God of mercy.

So how did God respond? Let’s see:⁴

And Jehovah saith to him, ‘Therefore — of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;’ and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him.

Yes, you read that right! Instead of further abasing Cain and actually delivering a quick punishment, God actually grants him an additional privilege: Cain, who would be rightfully despised by his family for murdering his brother, would be protected from retribution whereby he is given the authority to punish sevenfold anyone who dares to inflict any harm upon him. Why would a just and merciful God do this?

Let’s fast-forward a little bit—as the rot descends from bad to worse in Cain’s lineage, you have the case of Lamech:⁵

And Lamech saith to his wives: — ‘Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt; For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.’

Instead of repenting, Lamech presumptuously out of pure haughty hubris demands even greater protection from the reprisal demanded by justice! For Lamech, sevenfold protection wasn’t enough, and instead the self-imposed authority would be seventy [times] seven fold. Pay attention to these details—if we fast-forward to the New Testament, we notice this particular exchange between Jesus and the apostle Peter:

Then Peter having come near to him, said, ‘Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him — till seven times?’

Jesus saith to him, ‘I do not say to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven.’

Notice a connection here? Because Lamech—an inheritor of the wicked Cainite lineage—demanded a seventy [times] sevenfold protection from reprisal in the temporal, earthly realm, Jesus therefore instructs His adherents to forgive transgressions up until seventy times seven times, because seventy times seven—both symbolically, but with also a literal application—represents the maximum, finite amount of wickedness that the wicked principalities and powers are allowed to perpetrate before their time is up.

Take note that I said both symbolic and literal. Obviously, in everyday life, the point here isn’t to literally count up the number of times another person has committed a trespass and tell them they cannot be forgiven any more after the 490th instance, because that isn’t the point. Therefore, for the modern-day application living in the antitype, the corollary cannot be distilled to a human-literalized concept of when the limited probation for the wicked are over—that is determined by God, not man.

Yet, there also was a point in time when the “seventy times seven” was fulfilled very literally—this is found in the central prophecy in the second half of the Book of Daniel, where the prophet is informed by the angel Gabriel:⁶

‘Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies.

²⁵ And thou dost know, and dost consider wisely, from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem till Messiah the Leader [is] seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks: the broad place hath been built again, and the rampart, even in the distress of the times.

²⁶ And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath come doth destroy the people; and its end [is] with a flood, and till the end [is] war, determined [are] desolations.

²⁷ And he hath strengthened a covenant with many — one week, and [in] the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.’

Seventy weeks = seventy times seven days. These are of course prophetic weeks, and because a day in prophetic time metes out to a literal year,⁷ the time frame is 490 literal years. The start date was 457 A.D., and in the midst of the final week (a.k.a. seven years), Jesus was crucified to atone for sin. Because the restored literal Jewish nation refused to ultimately repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah promised to them in the Hebrew Bible, they were destroyed after the 490 years for their continued hard-hearted refusal to obey God—the Roman army obliterated Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and destroyed the Second Temple permanently.

70 A.D. was a typified foreshadowing of the very end of the world in the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. Why? Because in the Book of Zechariah, the at-large chiastic structure of chs. 9-14 affixes the B-C branches as comprising ch. 11, corresponded to the C’-B’ branches comprising vv. 12:9-13:9—ch. 11 focuses on the judgment of literal Jerusalem in 70 A.D., while 12:9-13:9 pertains (primarily) to the Second Coming. The very literary structure of Zechariah blatantly points out that, as in the 70 A.D. typified destruction of Jerusalem, so shall it be in the Second Coming antitype’s destruction of all the world’s unrepentant sinners.

So the question remains: why would God allow evil to run rampant for up to a “seventy times seven” duration? The answer is found in the literal seventy weeks itself: towards the end of the seventy weeks, the Messiah (Jesus) was crucified to atone for the sins of humanity on the cross. The crucifixion and death of Jesus fulfilled the Day of Atonement’s two goats, both the sacrificial goat and also the scapegoat. (explained in greater detail over here)

No, the biblical definition of sacrificial goat and scapegoat have absolutely nothing to do with how they are common assumed in the everyday earthly human-defined realm. Especially re. the scapegoat, the typified, literal ritual in the Mosaic Covenant (a.k.a. Old Testament era) had nothing to do with mass collective blameshifting in an overtly accusatory reviling sense, and quite to the contrary, was a sober and stark reminder to remind God’s covenant people of their sins and the price paid to atone for it: the forced separation of the sin-bearer from the holy city.

In the literal, typified Day of Atonement under the Mosaic Covenant, the sacrificial goat represented justice—it was killed to represent the consequences of sin that necessitate the death of the sin-bearer. The scapegoat, on the other hand, represented mercy—it was sent away alive into the wilderness outside the city to represent the carrying away of sin from the presence of God’s holy people (who dwell inside the city Jerusalem) forever and ever.⁸

When Jesus died an earthly death on the cross, He forever reconciled justice and mercy by fulfilling both the sacrificial goat and the scapegoat: not only did He vicariously die on behalf of human sinners and take the punishment upon Himself in the stead of all mortal, sinful human beings, but He was crucified outside the city walls of Jerusalem, permanently carrying sin away from God’s holy city and its inhabitants forever. By fulfilling both the scapegoat and the sacrificial goat, Jesus eternally justified His faithful adherents unto the promise of eternal life and not only Himself triumphed over Satan and his host, but imparted that victory unto His believers. Satan and his entire ungodly host of wicked followers presumed that God could never reconcile justice and mercy, and Jesus’s vicarious death on the cross for sin permanently destroyed that foundational Satanic lie.

Therefore, because of Jesus Christ’s atonement for sin as the substantive fulfillment of the Day of Atonement, there is fully validated an undeniable authority from Providence to execute the full wrath of God upon Satan and his demonic host of perditious followers which the devil can no longer with any standing claim to be a contradiction of mercy.

In fact, the Book of Revelation’s first half is structured to reflect the Day of Atonement: first John is shown the seven letters to the seven angels of the seven churches in a reflection of God’s mercy dimension in His dealings with His covenant people of the New Testament era, followed by chs. 4-5 highlighting Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God who atoned for sin and redeemed the saints to God their Father, and only after the full opening of the seven seals is the scene then immediately shifted to the trumpets where God’s justice dimension is shown in the visionary scenes of God’s wrath being executed upon the disbelieving heathen spanning from 70 A.D. into the very end of time. The Day of Atonement, as antitypically represented in Rev. 4-5, validates the full authority of God to punish sinners in such a way that there remains absolutely no valid excuse whatsoever for the punished to retort and complain that their received punishment is “too cruel/mercilessly harsh.”

So why does Jehovah Almighty allow evil? Because He is allowing evil to flourish and ripen to its maximized perdition in order to prove once and for all that no matter how much time He grants to the wicked to repent, they ultimately will not repent. (see this previous posting for further details)

As I’ve hopefully explained before, Zionism is the central Sabbatean-Frankist validation mechanism to fueling the False Prophet of Revelation 13’s ultimate raison d’être, whereby the SMOM and Scottish Rite Freemasonic controllers—via the machinery of American politico-military institutions and technological prowess, combined with religiously presented manufactured prophecies—set up the nazijewish pedophilic “State of Israel” genocidal mass-murderous blood-drunken execrable filth both as a counterfeit “scapegoat” (for the anti-Zionist side, which will cheer on an ultimate destruction of the nazijews under the deluded binary belief that anyone who opposes the nazijews and brings about their destruction must automatically be good) and as a counterfeit “sacrificial goat” (for the Christian Zionist side, which will claim that such a mass destruction is “fulfillment of biblical prophecy about God’s promises for the signs of Jesus coming back, see we told you so”) so that a preplanned nuclear armageddon to fulfill the Christian Zionists’ deranged view of Zech. 13:8-9 about “two thirds of the regathered Jews being burned for Jesus to come back” will become the ultimate Satanic impersonation of the Day of Atonement to usher in the final unified antichrist/mark-of-the-beast world empire that masquerades under the outward-appearing pretense of “Jesus coming back to set up his earthly kingdom.” God is allowing this conspiracy to ripen and manifest into its fullest form (which will encompass the beast system hounding down and seeking to behead the God-obeying righteous minority remnant who refuse to accept its mark) in order to prove once and for all—by showing it in front of the whole universe—what happens when Satan’s agenda is allowed to manifest into full fruition.

God has already commanded His faithful covenant people to forgive the wicked up to seventy times seven times. What this means is that God’s ultimately to-be-sealed faithful human adherents are commanded to obey His command to forgive the wicked up until the very point that the wicked are allowed to reach their maximized perditious evil of. Cf. what the church elder James wrote:⁹

Go, now, ye rich! weep, howling over your miseries that are coming upon [you]; your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten; your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them for a testimony shall be to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye made treasure in the last days!

Lo, the reward of the workmen, of those who in-gathered your fields, which hath been fraudulently kept back by you — doth cry out, and the exclamations of those who did reap into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth have entered; ye did live in luxury upon the earth, and were wanton; ye did nourish your hearts, as in a day of slaughter;

Ye did condemn — ye did murder the righteous one, HE DOTH NOT RESIST YOU.

What will be one day providentially unveiled before all the humans who ever existed on the earth is that Jehovah is punishing the wicked with eternal death (a.k.a. obliterated annihilation, not some literal “eternal burning in hell” scenario) because the unrepentant sinners chose that destination for themselves, and God is merely confirming their end eternal state in its determined finality.

Send ye forth a sickle, For ripened hath harvest, Come in, come down, for filled hath been the press, Overflowed hath wine-presses, For great [is] their wickedness. —Joel 3:13
