[QUOTE="oi_antz, post: 67412623, member: 261524"] It does seem that the overall story of life in a Christian perspective is that God has a vision for how the world should be, but mankind's desire for sin has caused the world to be something much different, much more disappointing to Him, and which causes Him to hate while people that He loves are sad and sore. But not everyone does that, and He is apparently planning to scrap the whole thing and keep what He wants. That seems to be the event of the resurrection, and when Jesus describes this in Matthew 25, He says "come, you who are blessed by my father, take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world". I remember Jesus speaking to some Pharisee's and using the word "inheritance". It is an extremely strong parable, possibly the greatest. What I saw here from what David showed me, is in Revelation 6:11, those who are martyred for their testimony to what God says are told that He is waiting before He will act, until the number who will be killed for this reason is complete. It occurs to me with that, He requires the completion of mankind's action against Him before He will act finally against them. I guess this is necessary for Him to maintain perfect justice according to His perfect wisdom. Also remember He said "if you are not with me you are actually against me, and whoever is against me scatters". But I don't know whether this is useful to you, it seems a bit like I do, that you like to think by yourself. [/QUOTE]
