Why Wars and Suffering? - Herbert W Armstrong - June 14, 1979

Herbert W Armstrong

Well, why do we have such bad news in the world today? Recently, I've been asking in a number of these programs, why does God permit wars? Why does God permit so much suffering in the world today? Because if God is all merciful and all compassionate as people reason, He wouldn't want to see us suffer, would He? And then if He has all power, He could stop it and yet He doesn't. Well, there is certainly a reason, because a purpose is being worked out here below and people don't seem to realize what that purpose is or to know anything about it. And God has mapped out seven thousand years to accomplish that purpose; six thousand years in which God Himself is keeping hands off and allowing the human family to do what it pleases. God has revealed to the human family the way to peace, the way to prosperity and to happiness. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
