You didn't answer my question. Im not surprised. Where else, except when His church is backslidden, does he openly say he is giving someone power to come against them?

Im pointing out that in this instance it was not just something that happened but there is an unusual statement that God GAVE the Devil this power and I am asking why...so far one individual has understood the question and answered :-)
