know the truth
The world today is filled with chaos, suffering, and confusion. Wars, injustice, and moral decay seem to dominate the headlines. But to truly grasp why things are this way, you need to look beyond surface-level explanations. The root of the problem goes back to a spiritual conflict that began long before human history.
the original plan
God’s original purpose was to create a paradise earth where mankind would live forever in peace and happiness, free from suffering and death. This divine plan, established in the Garden of Eden, was temporarily disrupted by human rebellion, but God has not abandoned His loving intention. Through His Word, the Bible, He assures us that His purpose will soon be fulfilled.
In His perfect time, God will restore the earth to its paradisiacal condition, removing all wickedness and granting faithful humans the opportunity to enjoy eternal life in perfect health and harmony. This hope, rooted in scriptures like Psalm 37:10-11, 29 and Revelation 21:3-4, remains certain because God’s promises never fail. Soon, under His Kingdom rule, the earth will become the paradise He always intended.
The Rebellion of a Powerful Angel
The Bible reveals that before the creation of the world, God made countless angels—spirit beings who served Him and helped Him. One of these angels, originally named Lucifer, was exceptionally beautiful and wise. However, he became prideful and desired worship for himself. This led to his rebellion against God. He convinced a third of the angels to join him, and they were cast out of heaven. Lucifer became known as Satan, meaning “adversary,” and his followers became demons.
This rebellion introduced sin and evil into the universe. Satan’s influence spread to the human world when he deceived the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, into disobeying God. Their choice brought sin, suffering, and death into human existence.
Satan’s Influence on the World Today
Satan is not a mythical figure but a real, powerful being who actively works to mislead people. The Bible calls him “the god of this world” because he has temporary control over human systems. He promotes lies, division, and selfishness, ensuring that people remain separated from God:
” 7 And war broke out in heaven: Jesus and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.” – (Revelation 12:7-9)
Many of the world’s problems—greed, corruption, violence, and false ideologies—can be traced back to Satan’s influence. He blinds people to the truth, making them believe that God either doesn’t exist or doesn’t care. But this is a deception. God has always had a plan to restore order and bring an end to evil.
God’s Plan to Fix the Mess
Despite the chaos, God is sovereign. He has allowed Satan limited time to operate, but this will not last forever. The Bible foretells a time when God will intervene decisively. Satan will be defeated, and God’s Kingdom—a perfect government led by Jesus Christ—will rule the earth.
This kingdom will eliminate suffering, injustice, and death. People will live in peace, and the earth will be restored to its original purpose—a paradise where humans worship God in harmony.
What You Can Do Now
You don’t have to be part of the world’s chaos. God invites people to seek Him, learn His truth, and align their lives with His purpose. By studying the Bible, you can understand His plan and how to live in a way that pleases Him.
The world’s mess may seem overwhelming, but there is hope. God’s victory is certain, and those who follow Him will see a future beyond imagination. The choice is yours—will you seek the truth or remain deceived by the lies that keep the world in turmoil?
