[QUOTE="Hawkins, post: 77637306, member: 109374"] It's because your pre-assumption is wrong. Earth should have been a hell, if it's not because God's sheep are still here. [B]Isaiah 14:17[/B] the man who made the world a wilderness, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home? Ever since Adam was kicked out of Eden, humans are living in a realm outside of God's dwelling realm, while any place outside of God's dwelling place will decay into a hell. In such a hell, the most evil and the most powerful will eventually rule due to the lack of God's direct influence. This happens to be Satan - the man who turned this world into a wilderness. That's why Satan is referred to as "the god of this world". Earth is no paradise as you might have presumed. That's actually we have to pray that "thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven". We pray that God's direct influence coming back on earth. Earth is not yet a hell under the influence of Satan, who turned everyone without exception into his captives, simply because God won't give up His sheep. God still has a salvation job here. Christians however are told that we don't belong here. We need to endure in order to be saved, just like the sheep in the wilderness full of beasts. For that matter, earth should have been destoryed completely by a flood in Noah's days as it is supposed to be a hell. [/QUOTE]
