²⁰ But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: Daniel 5:20 KJV

    The heart is abundantly wicked it's desperately sick. So a few things come to mind. First of all some people have said that the Adam and Eve story is just an allegorical story. I don't believe so and God is telling the truth. They were tempted by the devil and they gave in and he managed to convince a bunch of angels to follow him and they left their natural estate/habitation. Jude 1:6 Pride and iniquity was found in him Lucifer cherubim angel. This is one of the greatest  underlying infestations of evils in human beings. Pride comes before a fall and that's what happened.

Think about this we will be judging angels who are created a little higher than human beings in the life to come. So there's going to be some sort of judgment even in what you would call Heaven. It makes sense there has to be and God's way is not like man's way. In Christ Kingdom it appears whoever wants to be first will be last. Despite all the evil amongst the good on Earth God had a reason to create it. Sometimes we experience some of the greatest talents on Earth and when those people pass away we have a hard time accepting it. How could something so good come to an end. Yet Christ was despised and rejected and he is the king of kings and Lord of lords. Christ is eternal and his kingdom has no end. He had no pride in him. No hatred whatsoever. He was sinless. He's our standard of righteousness and we have to seek his righteousness because our works are as filthy rags.

There are some very evil people out there. There's stories in media every once in awhile of some evil that has occurred and they try to debate or analyze what went wrong such as a girl that was attacked at a school as she was jumped by three people. There's also stories of teens getting themselves into extreme trouble committing heinous crimes. A store clerk was killed chasing a couple of criminals over a stolen pack of chips. We would want to reach them with the gospel and tell them about Jesus Christ of Nazareth as he died for them too and their life could turn around rather than they get themselves into extreme trouble and ruin their lives and others. Look at that image that I have as the head image of the most violent nations. It can be debated if this is true or not but they have a pretty good idea. God is merciful but many people don't know him but he also is the judge of all judges and he warns fear not man but fear GOD having the power to cast sinners into this horrible place HELL where they are unable to die for all of eternity. Imagine suffering at 30,000°, no water unable to die and you say that's a harsh punishment. Could you imagine the courts on Earth like Supreme Court judges if they seen this physically they would go wow God is the hardest judge in the universe he threw all the books at them. We're without excuse there is a God and there's a devil and there's a whole system where it's not flesh and blood we're wrestling with but spiritual wickedness. You cant fight it on your own accord. 

Hatred starts in the heart. Starts by gossip or maybe having animosity against somebody say if you're young and they're for example physically pretty and there's people fighting over a woman or a guy. So gossip starts and things are said then hatred is built up in the heart. I remember being a young guy going to dance places and people would start fighting because somebody looked with the wrong look at their girlfriend or boyfriend. I remember a whole dance floor broke out fighting once and I was young and asked my friend should we help them and he grabbed me by the collar and pulled me to the other part of the establishment. He took me out of the situation. Don't fight. Another time I remember I was at a place and I witnessed a woman jumping from a height very high onto another woman  and a fight broke out this is when I was young. This is the stupidity in human beings but not all because we have compassionate human beings who have a moral compass. But if you look at those nations with the high crime rates they have a good idea why. I'll bet they have religion in some of these nations but that doesn't seem to work because God is relationship. You see I'm reminded of John 10:10 consistently he came to give us an abundance of life. How do you obtain it? How do you obtain it if you don't have the ears to listen and you can't follow his example. The thief comes to steal, to rob and murder. He Christ accused the religious elites in his day of doing a bunch of things to be seen of men and have the praise of men not God like wearing the religious outfits or the washing of pots and pans even making long prayers in the streets to be seen of men. Omitted weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: " these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone ." It is written if you don't forgive others God will not forgive you and Christ did say you forgive seven times 77 times for example. But you don't walk in un righteousness and gravitate towards bad company that destroys good morals. Today they have put evil as good and they have labeled good as evil but that was prophesied that it would be this way.

There's only one man that was the perfect sacrifice and he died for the sins of the world and he laid down his life on his own accord. No one took it from him and he picked it back up and he's risen in glory. On the other hand a prideful arrogant devil knows his time is short and so he has great wrath. When it's all said and done in the life to come God's way was the way and the only way that works. So you see you look at all those nations with all the evil and some of it is so bad it's unspeakable and you wonder what can we do to fix this broken world. There's only one way and it's God's way and he tells us the way as Christ told all those parables to educate people yet when we insist to do it our way we're gravitating towards the devil's Kingdom. Our way doesn't work and King Solomon realized all of these things he was storing up in the end what good was it. The whole duty of man is to know God and to obey God's rather than men. God is the author of life and he gave us the manual of life the Bible but there are people that want to take people off course and follow traditions of men and disobey the true God being stubborn arrogant and prideful. In the end it doesn't work and Jesus warned about Judgment Day when multitudes of people will be told he doesn't know them. In the world we have something called dictators that want to dictate their ways not God's ways. We have a fight between Good and Evil. God gave man his best friend and companion the devil. Man loves darkness and hates the light so when man is gravitating towards evil he is now into the devil's Kingdom. Unbeknownst to themselves they're now perishing as sin engulfs their souls. What did Jesus say the gospel will be preached to the whole world and then the end will come. God has a day set aside where he's going to punish the whole world in a drastic way it's called the great day of the Lord. Why would he do that when he gave us Jesus? When he gave us a lamb that takes away the sins of the world? Because the world is in rebellion and denies him. Look at the things happening in the world today with the anti-semitism and all the evil people are doing to each other throwing the first stone while they are with sin. There's no other name given to man in which he can find salvation but that of the Biblical Hebrew on Earth Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The holy scriptures cannot be broken and I wonder when was the last time you opened the Bible and read it for yourself? There's two destinations after this life Heaven or Hell and hell is eternal. You have a choice out there. You have a choice where God can take that stony heart and give you a heart of flesh. Don't resist God. Wherever you are if you are in a penitentiary open the Bible if it's there and read it. If you have no Bible try praying. You see the Bible says lean not on your own understanding and the fool has said in their heart there is no God. The absolute truth is after this life there judgment. The wages of sin is death. God gave us a way of escape his judgment. He gave us an opportunity to be children of God. He gave us a real inheritance but you got to love the truth and seek with your whole heart. We're instructed to love God with all our heart mind and soul and we can't do that if we can't seek him or we refuse to seek him but want to stubbornly do it our way of foolishness.

Important after thoughts and after notes there's been many wars on Earth and thousands of people maybe millions died. People fight religious wars as well. There are two Wars going on right now the Ukraine and Israel and perhaps another one might come with some small island in dispute. On top of that there's a great danger of World War III. There was a war in heaven and the devil and his angels were thrust out. There is a war for your soul and God has instructed to GO into all the world and preach the gospel to all nations including the Great Commission.
