It can be understood IF a lot of folks question the purposes of this piece.
“Why would God build disbelief into his plan for the end times?”
HOWEVER, IF one believes in an all-powerful, all-knowing God (which He is), then one has to believe the arguments this piece makes.
God invented time. Because God is EVERYWHERE, He inhabits ALL points of time: past, present, future. God KNOWS what the future holds because He has already seen the future. He has been there and KNOWS for sure what the future contains.
This is a primary reason why God’s Word is totally true concerning what it says about the future.
There are NO guesses.
There is NO speculation.
There is NO conjecture.
Because He inhabits ALL points of time, God has been to (what man calls ‘the future’) and KNOWS what will take place. God’s Word confirms this.
“My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”
–Psalm 139:15-16
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
–Jeremiah 1:5
SO, God KNOWS EVERYTHING that will happen during the end times and the last days. Because God controls EVERYTHING, he KNOWS that there will be disbelief during that time.
BUT, because He KNOWS, He is able to make iron-clad plans: plans which do NOT get altered by unforeseen events.
There are NO unforeseen events with God, because God sees ALL.
WHY did God plan that unbelief would be in the last days?
1 – He’s God: He can do ANYTHING He wants.
2- He OBVIOUSLY saw a NEED for some disbelief. What this need is would be the focus of MANY heated discussions.
3- Perhaps God uses disbelief to TEST and TRY his people?
4- WHATEVER His purposes, the reader should NOT question God’s decisions. God sees further and KNOWS what will happen. The reader can only GUESS.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
–Isaiah 55:8-9
A thought: ALL men who question God’s judgment do NOT exhibit complete FAITH in the LORD. The fate of such men will be determined by a God in which they do NOT believe.
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
–Revelation 21:8
WHAT does the reader think about all of this?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
