THE LAST GENERATION PART
God's Government on Trial
In the beginning, a serious situation arose in heaven when Satan made his charges against God. The accusations in reality constituted an impeachment. Many of the angels of God believed the charges. They ranged themselves on the side of the accuser. About one third of the angels of God and that must have been millions-faced God with their leader, the highest among the angels, Lucifer. It was not a small crisis. It threatened the very existence of God's government. How should God deal with it? The only way the matter could be satisfactorily settled so that no question would ever arise again, was for God to submit His case to the ordinary rules of evidence. Was, or was not, God's government just? God said it was; Satan said it was not. God could have destroyed Satan. That would not prove His cause just but would, in fact, count against Him. There was no other way than for each side to present its evidence, produce its witnesses, and rest its case on the weight of testimony adduced. The picture, then, is that of a court scene. God's government is at stake. Satan is the accuser; God Himself is the accused and is on trial. He has been charged with injustice, with requiring His creatures to do that which they cannot do, and yet punishing them for not doing it. The law is the specific point of attack, but the law being merely a transcript of God's character, it is God and His character that are the points at issue. In order for God to sustain His contention, it is necessary for Him to show that He has not been arbitrary, that the law is not harsh and cruel in its requirement, but contrariwise, that it is holy, just, and good, and that men can keep it. It is necessary for God to produce at least one man who has kept the law. This lead to the creation of the Man (Adam), Adam was created to prove Satan wrong, but Satan whom is very aware of this fact and being a rebellious creature and an accuser of God, still went far in his deceptive wisdom to accuse God that there is no Man that can keep firm to the rules and laws of God. In the absence of such a man, God loses and Satan wins.
For God to prove Satan wrong, there must be a man whom can keep the laws and the rules of God without sins, therefore the only remedy to this trial was God to send his only begotten Son Jesus Christ to died a painful death on the cross. The death of Christ Jesus was a sacrifice that settled the sins price tag of the whole world. The outcome therefore hinges on the production of one or more who keep the commandments of God. On this God has staked His government. While it is true that many from time to time have dedicated their lives to God and lived without sin for periods of time, Satan claims that these are special cases, as was job's case, and do not come under the ordinary rules. He demands a clear-cut case where there can be no doubt, and where God has not interfered. Can such an instance be produced?.
God allowed Satan to do his wishes against Job, for God is aware of Satan accusations from the beginning of the Universe. Job prevailed by not committing any Sin in time of his trial, Job case put God on the right while Satan is on the wrong path. Satan made himself an enemy of God is not ready to give up on his accusations neither does he want to accept that God is right and God is a God of Justice. Satan is concerned with the Church of Christ today, causing the Church of God to fall into sins in order to prove that him (Satan) is right while God is wrong. Our major emphasis will be on the Church of Christ which is the last generation before the end of Satan. We will be discussing more of the fact about the activities of Satan against the Holy Church of Christ is our next article.
