allowing them the opportunity to try to prove their point will benefit the whole class. When the rebels fail, all honest students will see that the teacher is the only one qualified to lead the class. They will understand why the teacher thereafter removes any rebels from the class. Similarly, I believe in the bible teaches that Jehovah knows that all honest hearted humans and angels will benefit from seeing that Satan and his fellow rebels have failed. Also those human beings cannot govern themselves. Like Jeremiah of old, they will learn this vital truth: “I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step” (Jeremiah 10:23). I believe in what the bible teaches is very comforting to know the real truth of why mankind cannot rule on their own under and Satan’s gaudiness. Why so long?
Why, though, has Jehovah allowed suffering to go on for so long? Why does Jehovah not prevent bad things from happening? Well, consider two things that the teacher in our illustration would not do. First, he would not stop the rebel student from presenting his case. Second, the teacher would not help the rebel to make his case. Similarly, consider two things that Jehovah has determined not to do. First, he has not stopped Satan and those who side with him from trying to prove that they are right. Allowing time to pass has thus been necessary. In the thousands of years of human history, mankind has been able to try every form of self-rule, or human government. Mankind has made some advances in science and other fields, but injustice, poverty, crime, and war have grown ever worse. I believe in that the bible teaches human rule has now been shown to be a failure. Second, Jehovah has not helped Satan to rule this world. If God were to prevent horrible crimes, for instance, would he not, in effect, be supporting the case of the rebels? Would God not be making people think that perhaps humans can govern themselves without disastrous results? I believe in that the bible teaches if Jehovah God were to act in that way, he would become party to a lie. However, “it is impossible for God to lie.” (Hebrews 6:18) The earth its self is damaged. The ozone layer is broken and that is the cause of global warming. The earth is not producing its vegetation as it was doing in the past. The world is no longer safe to live and enjoy life. Deserts are expanding more and more into once was good land. Both world wars have destroyed most of Europe and lost in their families. Human beings are the main purpose for all of these bad things that have occurred. I believe in that the bible teaches mankind cannot govern itself and under Satan’s gaudiness. What is going to happen to the harm that has been done to the earth and mankind?
What, though, about all the harm that has been done during the long rebellion against God? We do well to remember that Jehovah is almighty. Therefore, He can and will undo the effects of mankind’s suffering. As we have already learned, the ruining of our planet will be undone by the turning of the earth into paradise. I believe in that the scriptures teaches the promises that God will do in the feature found in His word the bible: “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more” (Revelation 21:4). “The lame one will climb up just as a stag does” (Isaiah 35:6). “The eyes of the blind ones will be opened” (Isaiah 35:5). “All those in the memorial tombs will . . . Come out” (John 5:28, 29). “No resident will say: ‘I am sick’ (Isaiah 33:24). “There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth” (Psalm 72:16). I believe in that the bible teaches just like Jehovah God promised Ancient Babylon would never be inhabited and the ruins of south of Baghdad, Iraq prove it his promises for the feature are reliable and trustworthy. The effects of sin will be removed through faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice, and the effects of death will be reversed by means of the resurrection. That was the reason God send His son Jesus Christ to the earth for his sacrifice. His ransom sacrifice is that means of the resurrection of our loved ones that are dead or in the deep sleep. (1 Corinthians 15:20-22; Acts 17:31) God will be revered by means of the resurrection. (Job 17:3; 1 John 5:20) God will thus use Jesus “to break up the works of the Devil.” (1 John 3:8) Death will be destroyed. (1 Corinthians 15:26; Revelations 21:4; 20:14; Isaiah 28:8) Jehovah God will bring all of this about at the right time. Why is Jehovah God going to fix today’s problems at his right time and not now?
God has a legitimate reason to wait for the right time. I believe in that the bible teaches mankind can be glad that Jehovah God has not acted sooner, for his patience has given us the opportunity to learn the truth and to serve him. (2 Peter 3:9, 10) There are still millions of human beings on earth that do not know the truth purpose for mankind. Jehovah God created mankind with free will. If God wanted He could create mankind like robots and would of force human beings to serve Him. Jehovah God knows that mankind would not be happy at all this way. I believe in that the bible teaches we are glad to have the freedom to make choices about what kind of person to become, what course of life to pursue, what friendships to form, and so on. We love to have a measure of freedom, and that is what God wants us to enjoy. Jehovah is not interested in service performed under compulsion. (2 Corinthians 9:7) To illustrate: What would please a parent more, a child’s saying “I love you” because he is told to say it or his saying it freely from the heart? So the question is how will we use the free will that Jehovah has given us? I believe in that the bible teaches Satan the Devil, Adam, and Eve made the worst possible use of free will. They rejected Jehovah God. What will we do? Like mankind in bible times, also today in modern days, have the opportunity to put the marvelous gift of free will to the best possible use. We can join the millions who have taken a stand on Jehovah’s side. I Jaime Ivan Aguilar the author of this I believe essay, took Jehovah’s side. In taking an active part is proving Satan a liar and a miserable failure as a ruler. I believe that the bible teaches Jehovah pegs mankind chose the correct side and says it through King Solomon: “Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, that I may make a reply to him that is taunting me (Proverbs 27:11). So we have the choice to decide who to follow and worship. Remember Jehovah does not want anything by force. (2 Corinthians 9:7) Meanwhile, God has been actively seeking sincere worshipers and helping them to endure any suffering that may come upon them in this troubled world. (John 4:23; 1 Corinthians 10:13) If Satan’s influence rules this world’s governments when and how would it be removed? I believe in that the bible teaches the truth in how Satan the Devil rule will be removed.
How Satan’s world will be removed. I believe in that the bible teaches Satan the Devil does not desire to kill any body on earth. He knows that if he does Jehovah God has the power to resurrect those souls from death after Armageddon. Instead Satan the Devil ruler of today in modern days makes mankind doubt that the bible teaches the truth over the purpose of human beings. I believe in that Jehovah God warns mankind through Apostle Paul:”among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, which the illumination of the glorious good news about Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through” (2 Corinthians 4:4). I believe in that the bible teaches Satan the Devil's main goal is for mankind to lose faith in that there is only a true God named Jehovah. Jehovah God talks through the bible and says: “And no wonder, for Satan the Devil keeps transforming himself into an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). That is the main reason that there are so many religions and polytheism believes in the world. (2 Corinthians 11:13, 15) With each passing year, the world is becoming more and more dangerous. It is overrun with warring armies, dishonest politicians, hypocritical religions leaders, and hardened criminals. The world as a whole is beyond reform. I believe in that the bible reveals that the time is near when God will eliminate the wicked world during his war of Armageddon. Yes, most of human beings think Armageddon is the end of the earth and mankind. That a huge asteroid will hit earth and destroy the human race. This belief is positively false because the bible says the truth of Armageddon. I believe in that the bible teaches the truth about Armageddon. First, the bible describes Armageddon as God’s war that will end wickedness. (Revelations 16:14-16) Second, God will use His son Jesus Christ to put an end to Satan’s rule. Satan’s rule is today’s violent, corrupt, and dishonest all kinds of governments. (Revelations 19:11-19) Lastly, human beings who never believed in Jehovah God nor Satan the Devil are also victims of Armageddon. God wishes they were either hot or cold because if they are warm God hates them truly the most. (Revelations 3:15,16) God Jehovah wants mankind to be aware of this war because its in the bible and its very near. This upraises to another question, when is Armageddon God’s war coming and how do we know its very near? I believe in that the bible teaches the truth over Armageddon.
Are we living in the last days? In the past mankind thought the world was going to end in the year 2000. Again, hypocrite religious leaders and scientists were wrong. I believe in that the bible teaches the truth about the purpose for the earth. The wicked humans are the ones that are going to be destroyed not the earth. (Revelations 7:9,14) The earth is never going to be destroyed by neither mankind nor an asteroid. Jehovah God made the earth to be permanent or for ever. (Ecclesiastes 1:4; Psalms 104:5) Have we watched the news on the television and wondered; 'What is this world coming to?' Tragic things happen so suddenly and unexpectedly that no human can predict what tomorrow will bring. (James 4:14) However, Jehovah knows what the future holds. (Isaiah 46:10) I believe in that long ago His word, the bible, foretold not only the bad things happening today in modern days but the wonderful things that will occur in the near future. Jesus Christ spoke about the Kingdom of God, which will bring an end to wickedness and make the earth a paradise. (Luke 4:43) Today we want to know when the Kingdom would come. In fact, Jesus' disciples asked him: “what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of this system of things?” (Matthew 24:3). In reply Jesus told them that only Jehovah God knew exactly when the end of this system of things would come. (Matthew24:36) I believe in that the bible teaches Jesus did foretell things that would take place on earth just before the Kingdom would bring true peace and security to mankind. I believe in
