Chapter Eight: THE MYSTERY OF GOOD AND EVIL IN GOD’S CREATION

God is revealed and known to have created a good (Universe and) Earth devoid of
evil … The mystery of the great and good Creator Redeemer God shows that He made all
things good and beautiful (Gen. 1:1, 31; 2:1-7; 15-17; Eccl. 3:11). However, in His
Sovereignty, He permitted moral choices by Angels including Lucifer the created anointed
Cherub with his angelic followers (Is. 14:12-17; Ezek. 28:11-19; Rev. 12:1-12) and Man
(Gen. 1:26-28; 2:15-17; 3:1-24; Eccl. 12:13, 14). The consequences of the exercise of their
moral free will in responsible choices led to the emergence of evil and sin in the Universe
(Gen. 3:1-24; Rom. 5:12; 1 Jn. 3:4-8; Rev. 12:7-9) and the resultant eternal damnation in
Hell Fire (Matt. 25:41; Jn. 10:10; 1 Jn. 5:21; Rev. 9:20, 21; 20:11-15). We are eternally
grateful that God had a perfect redemptive plan for humanity (Eph. 1:3-23; Rev. 12:11;
19:1-21); where good will eventually overcome all evil in the Universe in the future (2
Thess. 2:1-12; Rev. 20:1-15). This is in line with divine Sovereignty having already
provided the strategic victory for humanity in Christ (Gen. 3:15; Jn. 3:16-18; Heb. 2:9-18;
1 Jn. 3:4-8). There will be no evil in the new heavens and earth (2 Pet. 3:9-18; Rev. 21;
22). All evil with Satan and his followers will eventually be placed in the Hell Fire without
any presence of God and good before the creation of the New Universe (Rev. 20:7-15; 21:1,
8; 22:15). God who is Sovereign perfect in goodness and greatness will then create the
New Universe for Himself and His holy saints, angels and creatures (Rev. 21:1-7, 9-27;
22:1-14, 16-21). In this new eternal Universe of righteousness (2 Pet. 3:12-18), the
glorious Church as the adorned Bride from heaven, the New Jerusalem and holy city of God
will be the eternal habitation of the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb (Rev. 21:1-7, 21-
27; 22:1-5).
