Dave's Daily Devotionals

Are you ever in a social setting where strangers pass by and you think in your head.. “I WONDER what that person is about, what he/she is interested in, what he/she loves and hates, what they are thinking about at that very second!?” If you do, I don’t think your insane, cause I do the same thing too.

What is most important to individuals? Is it solely their profession, their regular job, their career? Is it solely their values and relationships with people? Is it their religious faith, or there lack thereof? Or is it simply a combination of all of these things with a hierarchy for all the different variables? Perhaps all things MATTER, but some much more then others.

I’d like to know your opinion.

In every day life, I believe we all have the tendency to be selfish. Of course I believe all humans have basic goodness in them and want to help others and make other people happy, but everyone has their own “needs,” and desires if you will. Do you know people who put their own self interests above others? If so, does it bother you? Do you put your own self interests above other people and other priorities in life, even when you know it will come back to haunt you later on. I know I am guilty of it.

Personally, I believe God wants all of us in better communion and wants a better life for everyone. Regardless of your overall beliefs, what do people mean to you in general? Is our only purpose reproduction and the continuation of our species? That is what animals do, and I would hope we see each other more then a really boring reproductive routine. But those are my beliefs, and my beliefs are a small speck of importance in the matter of eternity.

What method do you use to make moral progress in life so you can communicate better with your fellow human beings? What is your sense of enlightenment in this world? Do you have a sense of enlightenment and happiness? Does the present world, with its scientific and technological progress, give hope to you? Or is it a simply dying world with no hope in the future? Is your hope in something beyond this world and its destructive ways of war and greed and selfishness? Tell me your philosophy. I’d love to read them. I won’t respond to this note but will only read over people’s thoughts. I don’t want to debate this one, simply listen and see what people have to say about meaning and values and life in general.

I’d like to hear all sorts of views and suggestions on how to improve our social lives beyond going to the bar on the weekend and a church meeting on sunday. Please tell me there is MORE TO LIFE then work 5 days a week and fun time on the weekend.

An individual believes he has accomplished something because of his passion for success. Everyday, man struggles to achieve an agenda because without achieving something, what is the purpose for that man? But I believe this type of thinking is a recipe for disaster if people do this while they dismiss the absolute sovereignty of God. We become drunken in our idea of freedom and success. As fallen human beings we tend to believe we’re in complete control of our lives. In reality, God has our lives in his hands and he will decide what is best for us and what isn’t. The truth of the matter is that your idea of truth is wrong if you believe that you create a destiny which has already been known by God.

Of course God has granted man free choice and moral reasoning, but this does not mean God’s sovereign intervention isn’t at play either. God uses many events in this world to stop us from what we want to do. The fact of the matter is that our lives our very limited, our knowledge is EXTREMELY limited. Reason for this being is that we only know in part and see in part. The most educated man is still a fool if he thinks he has no obligation to God. He is drunken in his school knowledge and too blind to see the truth and majesty of God’s power.

The idea of education being a solution to all of life’s problems is and will always be the incorrect solution. The only knowledge worth having in the end is the higher knowledge. That is the solution which will lead you to redemption and salvation, and without salvation, life is utterly meaningless. Knowledge from a school textbook, or knowledge from the famous philosopher or scientist is irrelevant. Scientific and Technological progress can not build a perfect society for man, and much of the scientific progress today leads men intro destruction. Intellectual progress does not triumph moral progress, and moral progress is not happening as we speak.

Man is currently is a downward progression. Many of the most famous philosophers and education icons talk about the great future of man and the great progress we have made. But this is nothing more then vanity and a big lie. Man has not made any moral progress and without any moral progress, the man who has not repented and turned his life to God is doomed to fail when he faces the judgment of God. There is a day coming for the destruction of ungodly men. We all live and die once and while most people live like they will be around forever, God has a different plan in mind. Woe to the man who thinks only this life is important! Our lives are like vapor – they appear for a short time and then they vanish. How insignificant and petty is one man’s life accomplishments compared to the majesty and power of God?

God has spoken the entire Universe into existence, and his greatness transcends all of the vile and vain ideas of man. All that being said, people still get overly caught up in life’s activities without paying attention to what truly matters. This LIFE and this WORLD do not MATTER in the end. Ultimately this world is coming to an END as revealed by God through many prophets. This world had a beginning and it has an end. Man has a beginning and some men will also have an end. If this sounds negative it is not meant to be. It is nothing but the truth. This life is serious only in one sense and that is the sense of beginnings. Our life here is the beginning and then we must face God and give an account of our life. We can’t bail our friends and families out on the day of judgment. We won’t have the chance to talk about the world’s problems anymore! God has the final say and final judgment… not man!

It is God who maintains the order in this Universe. Man does not sustain order in this universe. If anything – man does nothing but disrupt the order of life. Man is surprised when calamity strikes, but God is never surprised by anything, because God’s wisdom transcends all things. In fact, many times, God will bring calamity to man to send a message. The judgments of God are often used to warn people and let them know God is asking you to repent. God makes me aware of this every day, and is Calling on all men to repent and come to the knowledge of the truth.

Man is too weak to fix the problems in this world. It is naive to believe that man will fix the problems of the world when the problem is mans very own nature. Glory to God who will bring full restoration and justice, a new heavens, and a new earth!

What is Love without Justice? Can there be Love and Justice from a creator who doesn’t execute wrath on anything which God deems unjust? It is not our idea of what is wrong which constitutes God’s judgment and wrath, it is solely God’s idea. God has made his laws known through man’s conscience, and when man refuses to follow God’s law – God can send wrath in this life and in the next life if we do not repent. I believe God’s wrath and punishment here in this life is part of his holiness and Love. If a Father loves his Son, or a teacher loves his student, they punish them and discipline them when wrong has been done. Let’s not be mistaken though, God’s idea of punishment is far different from human ideas of punishment, and I am sure God’s love can never be fully understood by man alone. By using this analogy, I am simply illustrating that when God sends wrath here on earth – it is a sign of discipline and it shows he cares, it is a warning sign that we must turn to him and worship God in spirit and truth. I also believe many bad things that happen in our own lives are God’s judgment and that is a result of our own disobedience toward him. We do in fact disobey God every day whether we want to face up to it or not, no man is righteous, no not one, just like the bible says. All men descend from Adam, however we want to look at that – we know we are all fallen and deserve God’s wrath without accepting God’s payment through Christ. How else can we be deemed righteous without accepting the payment that has been made for us? What other resolution can resolve man’s inward nature that is sinful, unless we accept God’s mercy which has only been offered through his Son. No one else or nothing else can reconcile us back to God other than Christ. People can argue all the religion they want, but I see no other solution then redemption through Christ. Christ alone suffered for my sins, and your sins, and all of our sins, and there is no other way of restitution in God’s eyes. Christ was persecuted, put to death, and God raised Christ when Christ fulfilled the will of his Father. We can only be deemed righteous if we turn to Christ. But of course it is more then turning – it is a calling from God and we must walk the walk and not simply talk the talk. As a man I can talk all I want but without my heart being changed it means nothing. When the heart changes through the power of Christ and through the grace of God, then a man learns what forgiveness and Love and God’s mercy can truly do. God is not just about laws, but about a transformation inwardly. Simply following laws and doing good work does not make a person righteous. Sins must be paid for, and the heart must be renewed.

Hell is the pain inside that won’t leave
It is seeing a loved one die for something so naive
Hell is being forced to adjust to the world system, and all of its ills
Hell starts on earth, And Hell carries on through man’s fantastical ideals

Hell starts when men believe they are animals,
Hell is manifested in this culture of capitalism and competition
Hell is projected in the way the rich man rules,
Hell is now, when the poor man can’t deal with the world he was put into

Hell is listening to people like me complain
Hell is dealing with life’s same old day to day routine,
Hell is when your unable to do something you need to do – for your own good
Hell is the simple fact that our lives may never be completely understood!

Hell is a thought, an image, an action, a deed, an ultimate and full reality
Hell is the continuation of human suffering in totality
Hell, no one wants to be a part of that place!
Hell, thank God.. it’s not a destination for the entire human race.

The CURRENT ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH is without a doubt interwoven with the current world system, a world system that does not work to carry the word of God or carry out full worship of God. Instead, the current church today deprives many men and women of their voices to be heard.

Are not ALL people who are called by God, OF GOD? If so, why should one preacher man sit and talk for an hour or two while the whole congregation sits passively with little to no input? Doesn’t every man and woman of God have a gift to share? Don’t we all have voices to be heard and stories to share? Don’t we all have wisdom to exchange with one and other, and don’t we all have an obligation to share our Love for God verbally with each other? How can we as Christians do that if we sit in a church our whole life and be quiet while we listen to ONE MAN? This is an impossible feat to accomplish if we want to grow together as a CHURCH of PEOPLE who LOVE GOD. The current church establishment dulls the mind and heart of people and it does a lot of harm to people, rather then any good.

The REAL CHURCH is the body of people, the body of believers, who have professed Christ as their savior, and acknowledge Christ as the one true way to God our Father. The church is not a building, or some worldly institution, or organizational practice. It is the body of Christ. We who have been called were not commanded to sit inside a big temple or big building and obey one preacher. A teacher is someone who points you to truth and tries to get you closer to God, not someone who reads to you for an hour every Sunday and makes you be passive. Is it a wonder why so many people are disinterested in Church? Probably because the whole meaning has been twisted. One man who dominates a body of people is playing a role that he or she has no authority to do. Where in the new testament is anyone given the authority to speak and rule a body of people for an hour on Sunday? The early church met in houses with 30-300 people sometimes, and they ALL TALKED and shared stories and ate and drank, and prayed, and gave glory to God, and NO ONE dominated the entire meeting.

The early Christians met in houses and they didn’t make a profession out of Christianity and sell out for Christ. They didn’t make money off of Christ with worship music either. They didn’t pay one man 50,000 a year, or 100,000 a year or MONEY to speak about the word of God. At most, priests and serious teachers were given a MEAL AND SHELTER. All money given was given to the POOR, not for the ESTABLISHMENT OF A MODERN CHURCH WITH PRIESTS AND DEACONS, ETC. It is my intention to have house meetings with people who wish to have them, and in my view, that would a holy and honest way of serving God. I am not perfect by any means, but fail to see how we grow in Christ as a body of believers if we aren’t actually communicating with each other.

The head of the Church is CHRIST, and Christ is under God, but we all under Christ AND God. No Man of this age has the right to rule the body of of believers according to the new testament, and in my analysis – the current denominations and churches today have gone astray from the truth way or worship. Christ is the head, and we are to receive all teaching and authority from the word of God, given to us by the new testament and of course more then anything, we receive truth from the anointing spirit of God. God leads us every day in spirit and in truth. A true teacher points you to God, but does not need to teach you the bible. God is the truest teacher though, who shows us all things.

The bible clearly says the church will fall away from their faith in later days, and this seems clear.

God does NOT dwell in temple’s made by mens hands but most men today believe they are in the “house of God,” if they are in some church. God is a spirit, and that spirit is to be worshipped in SPIRIT and TRUTH. It does not require some institutional organization or large fancy building with payed priests. The catholic church, the baptist church, the pentacostal, etc (all of em) are becoming WORDLY as they are trying to break the word of GOD and establish their OWN CHURCH with their own set of rules and regulations. THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE CHURCH, and that is the PEOPLE OF GOD. It is people who have been called by God and those people follow God on a daily basis. Anyone can walk into a church building. But physically being active in a building doesn’t change a person’s heart or guarantee salvation.

The Church in greek is known as the ekklesia, the BODY OF BELIEVERS,those called by God.

We are supposed to all worship together in all aspects. One person is not supposed to dominate the ENTIRE body of people while they all remain passive. That is not Christian in my view and there is no biblical support for one man preaching and dominating a congregation. Not in the new testament.

God’s kingdom will not reign in this world, it will reign in eternity and well beyond this present world and age. Yet men today think they can set up a church in a huge building and claim it as the house of God. They are sadly wrong and becoming wordly in their ways.

Is the deepest, saddest emotion..even explicable?
Can you even express it daily, to the one you love?
The smallest details of love help bring about life’s passion
paying attention is what will bring about the right reaction.

it’s easy to react with instinct and anger, a fool can do it
but it takes Love to think, reflect, and treat other’s fault’s as your own
day to day, the journey of life tests our souls
each action matters equally,
because our future doesn’t forget our past, it is built upon what we do right now.

we can risk regret in the future by making things obsolete now,
if we ignore those whom we love, we will lose now, and suffer later
this is why we must confront our fears and our problems head on,
the soul can only strengthen when it is tried

So take all of it in, all emotion, all passion, all reflection for life
think of what its like to hurt, and then think of whom you owe some gratitude to
you owe it to others, to yourself, and you owe it the creator, the author of life
who calls us to listen and pray, to act and protect, to sing and to rejoice

the time is always right, to give highest regards to the creator,
who hears our problems and can calm them,
before we even obsess over them,
he will address them,
and it is our duty to love and forgive our fellow man,
otherwise, he doesn’t have to forgive us.

Sometimes, those who we think of our best friends can often give us a false sense of security or well being. I don’t mean to sound pessimistic, rather, I intend on challenging the conventional meaning of a friend – challenging the easy way of life.

What is the definition of friendship? Is it simply a bond with another person – another person’s company which we enjoy and benefit from, individually & on a mutual level? If that an acceptable definition – I think it is worthwhile to ask whether or not we truly benefit from our friends if we are too easy on eachother as friends.

I feel like true friends or true friendship consists in challenging one and other, pushing one and other. The purpose of a friendship is to grow and mature – Most people believe that a parent must discipline their kids, and I think it is fair to also believe that friend’s must be tough on each other. Of course you don’t try to control your friend’s decision’s, but you can question them and you should, especially if you feel those decisions will hurt them and other people around them. If you sense that your friend is going down the wrong path, it isn’t right to stand by and coddle them and tolerate something you find objectionable – remaining silent in my view is too often detrimental.

Many times I hear people say “Friends, or friendships are about acceptance.” I think to a certain extent that is true – you can’t hawk your friends and you want to enjoy most of the time around your friends, but at a certain point you will ask yourself: Am I growing as a person from being around this person, or is the energy that is being used up misdirected and what is the true basis of that friendship?

Human affection and companionship can go along way. I believe that a friend is someone who sticks up for you, but is also someone who confronts you when they believe you have done something wrong. We can surely agree that life is a growth process, and when an individual see’s a friendship as nothing more then entertainment or fun, I believe that is a shallow type of friendship. I don’t see how you can call someone a true friend unless you know them on a personal level, unless you know their dreams and aspirations, their fears and beliefs about life. I do not care so much for light friendships, easy friendships that lack any type of challenge to my course of life. They are a temporary escape from personal growth. There is a time for fun but there is also a time to be serious.

I will go on to say that we often find out our worst enemies are our best friends, because they are willing to confront us and challenge our current mode of being and thinking. Sometimes it takes courage to accept that you dislike things about someone to actually get to know them, to actually make them serious and question the things they do, a so called enemy can turn into a great friend. I believe this is a spectacular part of being human – sometimes in hate and strong emotion, we can often discover truth and Love. Sometimes we must understand our weaknesses in one and other so we can grow and realize our potential.

I believe part of the reason we lose many of the friends we had is because they weren’t true friendships to begin with, they were nothing more then foolish acquaintances. While it is certainly difficult to keep in contact with many people you get to know over the years, this doesn’t mean you can’t continue a long last friendship with them. People make excuses and get caught up with themselves and their life, and no one is perfect, but if you truly are friend’s with a person – you are involved in their life. You actually are concerned about them, because that concern helps them grow, it helps you grow – it is a back and forth reality of friendship.

How many of your friends do you really know on a deep level? How many people on facebook do you really know? I believe often we underestimate what true friends are and as life goes on, we begin to realize and learn friendship is something entirely different then we thought it was. Brutal honesty is something I believe all friendships must acquire, otherwise the friendship will cease to exist.

I refuse to drink caffeine – mainly because it makes me an edgy person. After detoxing from this substance, cutting out coffee & tea outright, I feel much more calm, much more patient, much less stressed, and I don’t feel the need to argue with anyone about anything. I also cut down on meat intake dramatically, and this has made me much more calm, with no less energy. In fact, I have more energy. To sum it up, I am basically a more loving person without caffeine or too much meat. Caffeine is the real culprit though – it stimulates our central nervous system and overworks our adrenal glands – it puts us in a survival – panicky type mode. Although we feel smarter and more alert, caffeine is unnecessary, as the withdrawals and long term effects are horrible and devastating to the nervous system. Don’t believe the hype – Caffeine is a drug and it is bad for you. Also, Alcohol should be avoided when detoxing too.

But moving on, my main point is this: The more we strive for a natural diet, I truly believe we can achieve a happier sense of life. Diet isn’t everything, it’s only something one must do when nature requires it. As for me, I did it for spiritual purposes and I believe it has calmed me down quite a bit. We are wonderfully made by our creator, but if we abuse ourselves with caffeine, or tons of alcohol (which i have been guilty of on occasion) – then we are basically slapping God in the face. Let’s not blame anyone but ourselves – much of the time we are sick because of poor choices. Seriously, much of the time we do not feel adequately rested or well because we act on impulse and without reason and spirituality. Instead of grabbing an energy drink when I am tired, I simply drink some water or go to sleep. When I do this, I am more restored and don’t feel run down – if you jump for any type of stimulant – you always feel like crap when you come off of it.

I think regardless of one’s religious belief, we should readily agree the importance of diet. But diet will not be important if we choose to live our lives in the fast lane and on impulse – if we choose the easy way in life, our diet’s will most likely be poor. If we want to feel great every day, we’ll cut out a lot of the junk food, cut out the caffeine, cut out the quick fixes and stimulants, smoking, drinking – not because they are unhealthy for the body, but because they truly effect how we live our lives. Being healthy is only one half of the equation – it doesn’t mean you will be a happy person, but I truly believe many people are unhappy and overstressed as a result of their diet & lifestyle. No one is perfect and we will never be 100% in tune with God’s or nature’s wishes, but we should strive for that perfection.

A few years ago I studied this idea and read a few writings on it which raised many serious questions. Many serious questions for Christians who have any regard to the question of redemption and God’s ultimate plan. The very foundation of Universal Redemption flies directly in the face of mainstream Christianity, which has taught and still teaches that most of mankind is doomed, while only a few elect will be saved. I am not necessarily saying that the former belief is false, because I most certainly believe in an upcoming divine punishment, and it is not my decision to say what constitutes God’s love. If many will be left out, then so be it. The question is: Will an infinite and all-loving God decide to leave out millions of people?

Christ died for all of mankind and his death was the payment for the sins of the entire world. If there is an elect that God chose before the foundation of the world, then what purpose does Christ’s death for all MEN Serve? How do we reconcile Christ’s death for ALL MEN with God’s predestined plan for the ‘elect.’ I suppose one could easily answer this question by saying: The Elect do not know they are elect, and since God has given us responsibility as men to choose, then God still had to send Christ to die for all men – to show his mercy for ALL MEN. This answer would supposedly nullify the idea that Christ died for all men to SAVE ALL MEN. Yet, God makes it plain that it his desire and will for all of mankind to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. (timothy 2:4) One will say: “Just because God desires something, doesn’t mean he will carry out his will in a way to fulfill that stated wish.” This may be so, but it doesn’t abolish God’s very known intention, which is for all MEN to come to the KNOWLEDGE of the truth. To say that God wishes all men to come the knowledge of the truth, yet simultaneously say God has pre-chosen certain members of mankind, makes no sense to me. God states that it his DESIRE for all of mankind to be saved. Why would God have this longing desire if he chose the church before the foundation of the world? An all-knowing God has a desire for something that he sort out beforehand? This doesn’t sound like an all-knowing and infinitely wise God, but it sounds like a God who is regretful of his election. Perhaps there is an election and I simply do not understand God’s holy nature, but I choose to look at the statements God has revealed to us and reflect on them to the best of my ability.

Perhaps there is a distinct election for some and not for others, or perhaps there is no election, just 100% free will, but it can not all be up to mankind, otherwise the sovereignty of God disappears, or does it? Perhaps God’s sovereignty can still be executed if he let’s man have complete choice and freedom. The idea of election vs. Free Will is a whole other argument, but it seems correlative in respect to the idea of limited punishment vs. eternal punishment. Regardless, we know that salvation is not earned by works alone, or faith alone, but by the grace of God. The bible clearly insinuates that man is saved by Grace, with works, and faith, but not one solely. The question now becomes: Can man do a good work after Death? Is this life the only life to seek redemption? Is it possible that God can use his wrath and punishment(something I wish to have a no part in) to redeem all of mankind? Is Punishment eternal? Or is it Agelasting? And if it is only age-lasting, then what does God do when he is through with punishment? Does he let man fade into the darkness, or does he bring them to his light? God will never force his will on a man, but God’s love is strong enough to turn any man away from his ways. Surely, God’s love is more powerful then we can imagine, so why can’t God redeem all of mankind?

I am not saying God will save all men, but the idea is thought provoking, and I believe that any reasonable person should at least consider the subject. I am not going to get into scripture in this note, unless someone wishes to engage in it, but I am merely discussing the subject in generalities and using the God-given reason I was born with.

I was thinking about all religions of the world, and how none of them offer Universal Redemption as a model to their theology. Even if Universal Redemption turns out to be false, it is surely amazing that it is one of the most Unique belief systems concerning the will/nature of God and his ultimate purposes. Do Muslims or Jewish religions offer up this precept? Not that I have ever heard of. All of mainstream religion offers some means toward heaven, but also clearly states many will be doomed for ETERNITY in HELL FIRE. All mainstream religions agree on this, and surely, it could be true. But in my view – the bible has many universalist passages which seem to hint enough for this subject to have arisen. If the bible was so clear on the subject of redemption, then why have men throughout the ages discussed it in great length over and over and over? Surely there is a good reason for this. Some may say it is heresy, or that Men discuss it because it suits their desires and their imagination, but all of these things are faculties which God has given us – an imagination, thoughts, and reason, and as free creatures, we are allowed to ponder the idea… are we not? And if we are allowed to ponder the idea and delve into scripture, why should anyone be afraid this? I am not saying Universal Redemption is true, but I am defending the rights of man to bring this issue up without being labeled as a heresy. People in general are quick in rushing judgment, and many men who dislike the idea of Universal Redemption would rather cry lunacy and herectic without refuting the argument with their own reason, and that is the type of dialogue I choose to ignore. I believe any serious Christian will pray for understanding and listen to all views of scripture, even if it goes against the grain. It is not a sin to listen to people, and it might be more of a sin to denounce all other ideas as lunacy simply because you can not understand them or reason them out.

It takes God’s grace for us to do the right thing, and if this is the case, is it possible that God must discipline many of his creatures to heal them of their moral depravity and eventually let them enter the kingdom of God? Some will say: “NO, Christ’s death has made us righteous! there is no other way…” which is very true, but just because we will be rewarded and declared righteous in God’s eyes through Christ, doesn’t mean God is finished with all of his business, does it? Christ’s payment was for all of mankind, and even though some do not accept Christ as their Savior in this life, does not mean God can not bring them to Christ at a later time, nor does man’s rejection of Christ nullify Christ’s death for them. In the book of revelation, it says there will be “everlasting,” punishment. In greek “everlasting,” is translated as AGElasting, which is far different. In my studies of greek, I do not see the word ETERNAL being applied to God’s punishment, but only to God’s kingdom. The greek usage of the word AGE(AION) is a whole other discussion for a whole other time, but shed’s light on the idea of punishment. Is it limited or forever? The english version of the bible does not do God justice if you ask me. The bible was not written in english, so why should one man trust a translation that is full of translational errors?

In closing, I will say that I am undecided wholeheartedly, but I favor the idea that God will have to annihilate or put some through eternal punishment. Simply saying this makes me cringe, but I believe part of God’s nature is his justice and this requires punishment, which may indeed be eternal. But just because I favor this, does not mean I will forever dismiss the idea of Universal Salvation, because I believe it could be true and I will continue to research the subject at great length, as well as free will, election, determinism, and much more intriguing spiritual subjects.

Are some men saved, and the rest damned to eternal hell, a punishment of eternal torture? Or are all men eventually saved and ‘come to the knowledge of the truth? ‘ (after a certain temporal punishment)

All men are made in the image of God, but many will argue – not all men will return to the God who made them.

Measure these scenarios and try to wrap your head around it.

SCENARIO A)
Is it more Just for God to reunite all people, murderers and thieves with their victims, all people from all nations, to redeem them all, (imagine a murderer reunited with a victim – of course they would both be redeemed, so they both would love each other as God loves them)

OR

SCENARIO B)
Is it more just for God to let a certain portion of creation have ‘eternal punishment,’ while many Christians in God’s kingdom(heaven) are aware of certain people they loved in their earthly life (in hell) and know they are experiencing this eternal punishment? How does God deal with this situation?

NOTE:
This is not a dilemma for God, but for Man. God has already decided what will happen – the question is, how do we view God’s idea of justice and goodness?

Would love to hear people’s thoughts.
