❤️❤️ GOD LIMITS EVIL! IT IS WRITTEN 👇 ❤️ Gen. 3:22–24 👈 By breaking God’s rules, the first couple gained a heartbreaking new knowledge. After choosing to question God and to trust evil, Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Then, having known only good, Adam and Eve came to know evil. ❤️ One of the first results of their newfound knowledge was that they no longer lived unashamed of themselves as creatures made in God’s image. They sensed their nakedness and immediately covered their bodies (Gen. 3:7; compare 2:25). 💚 Self-hatred was a sad gain, and it was only the beginning of humanity’s trouble for acting on the serpent’s deception. Soon the loss of respect for God’s ways and for human dignity led to evil running rampant in God’s good creation (6:5, 6). 💚 God refused to let evil go unchecked. His response to the intrusion of sin into His world and into the lives of human beings was to limit evil. God imposed several restraints: ❤️ • He provided clothing, perhaps to limit lust and sexual abuses (3:21). 💙 • He drove Adam and Eve from the garden, cutting them off from the Tree of Life and thus preventing them from living forever in a fallen condition (3:22–24). 💚 • He prevented the first murderer, Cain, from continuing to farm and reap the benefits of the earth, perhaps to keep him from exploiting its resources to cause further destruction (4:11, 12). ❤️ • He sent a flood to halt the wickedness of Noah’s generation, preserving Noah and his family to repopulate the earth from an obedient people (6:1–22). 💙 • After the Flood, He limited what Noah and his descendants could eat and established a penalty for murder and perhaps for other interpersonal abuses (9:1–7). 💚 • When evil again gained momentum and the people of Babel banded together to establish their supremacy over the rest of the world, God frustrated their plans by confusing their language and halting their plan to build a tower (11:1–9). 💙 Each instance of God limiting evil reveals the Creator as a kind and benevolent Sovereign who intervenes to protect people from succumbing to wickedness and consequently destroying themselves. 💚 From our perspective, God’s ways may seem too severe or not severe enough. But He knows better than we do (Is. 55:8, 9). He will not allow evil to completely undo what He loves and wishes to redeem. 💙 God’s actions give us reason for hope in a world crying with pain, violence, and immorality. 💚 Evil and wickedness persist. But the Bible continually reminds us of God's intervening love, urging us to persevere (Heb. 10:35–39; James 1:2–4), to give thanks in the midst of every circumstance (Col. 3:17; 1 Tim . 4:4, 5), and to act as salt to preserve good and as light to show others the glory of God (Matt. 5:13–16). 💚 More: One of the immediate effects of sin was to produce destructive family patterns. For an overview of family dysfunction in Genesis, see “Instead, Choose to Show Family Care” at Gen. 42:36. ❤️ 2 bloodlines way of Cain way of Adem ❤️ THE FLOOD OF REVELATION IS WICKED EVIL NATIONS FLOODING INTO DESTROY CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES READ BELOW. ❤️ 2 Samuel 22:5 When the waves of death compassed me, the FLOODS of ungodly men made me afraid; ❤️ Psalm 18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the FLOODS of ungodly men made me afraid 💙 Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a FLOOD, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. ❤️ Jeremiah 46:8 Egypt riseth up like a FLOOD and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. 💙 Jeremiah 47:2 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing FLOOD and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl. 💙 Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a FLOOD and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 💚 Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a FLOOD after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the FLOOD. ❤️ Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the FLOOD which the dragon cast out of his mouth. ❤️ MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT IS TRUTH.👇 💚GOD OR Satan 💚 HEAVEN OR lake of fire 💚 Good Evil WAY OF CAIN WAY OF ADEM 👉 YOU CHOOSE
