[QUOTE="Greg J., post: 70070206, member: 385249"] God is overseer of all things. It's like he is the independently wealthy owner and CEO of a company, but everyone in his company has been doing their own thing instead of doing what he said. Everything the CEO told people to do was for their benefit and not even a little bit for his own benefit. What you see in Revelation is the actual company functioning, not the company that the CEO tried to make. The reason he let it get to that point is because intervening would have killed some employees who were trying to turn to his cohesive way of running the company and were actually helping the company overall. Instead he chose to try to talk to them to get them to change their ways because they were hurting each other. And it worked for some people, but the vast majority told him to get lost and behaved like they were the CEO of the company, each doing his own thing. Some of them even made a point of defacing the CEO's office, spreading lies about him, and even killed the CEO's son. By not doing what the CEO wanted, now the company has gotten to the point that the employees are murdering each other on an ever-increasing scale. What [I]should[/I] the CEO do at this point?
