Does human free will and all the world's wars and revolutions throw off God's plan?
No. God granted free will to individuals and nations, yet after six thousand years of human history His program remains right on schedule. Wars, famines, insurrections, and revolutions have not diverted the world from where God intended it to be; His plan still stands.
Les teaches that way back in 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 despite giving individuals and nations that exercise of free will, 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 explains that this is how God works, putting civil government in place in a way we cannot fully understand or comprehend. He also notes that believers are first responsible to live peaceably under government, with the right to resist only when it goes contrary to Christian experience and the commands of Scripture.
