Does human free will and all the world's chaos throw God's plan off schedule?
No. Although God granted individuals and nations genuine free will, after 6,000 years of human history His program remains right on schedule. Through wars, famines, insurrections, and revolutions, the world is still exactly where God intended it to be, so human choices and global chaos do not derail His plan.
Les teaches that from the Garden God turned over to human choice His pretty much exercise of the free will, not only to individuals but also to nations. Yet in spite of that free exercise, after 6,000 years of human history, God's program is right on schedule. Through wars, famines, insurrections, and revolutions, the world is still exactly where God intended it to be. Les calls this amazing and explains it as how God works, even putting civil government in place in ways we cannot fully understand. Believers are to live peaceably under government, resisting only when it contradicts Christian experience and the commands of Scripture.
