Re: Is God fair?

Let's assume that a world leader determined to bring the world into a nuclear holocaust tomorrow in effort to destroy all life on earth within two hours. Would God allow that man's will to stand and thwart His entire redemptive plan as it concludes in the Revelation??? Would not God dispatch Holy Angels to war against the dark forces at work behind the man's decision? And would not God Himself bring the man to naught? Or... is man's free will so free that he might in fact sideline everything decreed in the book of Revelation? If man's will is so free, and God's sovereignty so surrendered (to make God a "gentleman"), how do we know that we've not already thwarted the divine plan and are living in a divergent man made reality this very hour? Is God "struggling" to fulfill what He has decreed for the conclusion of this dispensation???

Clearly the answer is obvious. God's will is sovereign and what He has declared to be will be. Regardless of the petty accusations and names we (His creations) might throw at Him for subverting our will to His own. He is the Creator. He alone is God. His elect see this, embrace this, and give Him all praise and glory in this, knowing that He is indeed just and holy. Though His sovereign choices may offend our earthly notions of "fairness"... He alone has the sovereign power and authority to do as He wishes with His creation for whatever purposes He has determined.
