A teacher is telling his Students how to solve a difficult problem with a proven formula. A clever yet rebellious student claims that what the teacher is teaching,that his way of solving the problem is wrong.The student implys that the teacher is incapable, that the student insists that he knows a better way, an easier way.There are some students in the class that believe the rebel student may be right, and so sides with the student also becoming rebellious.Do you see the situation at hand?What should the teacher do?Should he throw the rebels out, is that wise you think? If the teacher was to throw the rebels out, what would be the effect? What would the other students, the other onlookers Think'Do you not think that it would breed doubts in the other students, that the rebel student maybe right, and the teacher just doesn't want to be proven wrong. Ultimately the teacher would lose the respect of his students.I don't know about anyone else, but it seems like common sense that you as the teacher, to keep all those concerned happy, you would only have one diplomatic way to go, and that is to let the student talk, to see what he has to say has any relevants, to allow the rebel to show the class how he would solve the problem.If you can imagine the teacher as God and the rebel student as Satan. God has only done what the teacher does. Adam and Eve are not the only ones involved; Angels, millions of angels made up the rest of the class(Job 38:7;Daniel 7:10)How God handled the handled the rebellious situatiuon greatly affects the angels and eventually all the intelligent life. God has allowed satan to show how he would rule mankind, along with allowing humans to govern themselves under satans guidance.The teacher knows that the rebel and the students on his side are wrong. He knows that for the benefit of the class, he must allow the student to have the opportunity to try to prove their point. When the rebels fail. Those concerned will see that the teacher is the only one qualified to lead the class.So when the teacher removes the rebel and his followers, the class will fully understand. Honesthearted humans and angels will benefit from seeing satans failures, and that "we as earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step".(Jeremiah 10:23).But why so long?Why has God not prevented these bad things from happening. The teacher had to consider two things,first he would not stop the student from presenting his theory, second not to help the student make his case. God has to allow time to prove his case, and in the thousands of years of history, mankind has tried every form of self rule, or human government, to our own ditriment.Agreed there has been some advancement in science and other fields. But Poverty, crime, and war are ever prevailent, in fact its forever increasing.If God was to prevent these crimes, and injustices, would he not, in affect be supporting the rebels cause. Would God in actual fact be making people think that perhaps humans can govern themselves without disastrous results'If God was to act in that way, he would become a part of a lie. However its "impossible for God to lie"(Hebrews 6:18). Imagine the teacher gives the student a week to show his theory,is that fair?Now know that one day to God is a thousand years to us.Seven Thousand years and the end will come.When the week ends, God will finish that which he started, the very thing that he purposed for all mankind will come to pass.
