The Beginning of the End
but to demonstrate to all the universe its nature, fully establishing
His wisdom and righteousness in His dealings with evil.
The inhabitants of other worlds were watching with the deepest
interest the condition of the world before the flood. They saw the
results of the kind of rule that Lucifer had tried to establish in heaven
in casting aside the law of God. The thoughts of human hearts were
only evil continually (
Genesis 6:5
), at war with the divine principles
of purity, peace, and love. It was an example of awful wickedness.
By the facts unfolded in the great controversy God carries with
Him the sympathy of the whole universe, as step by step His great
plan advances to its fulfillment in the final complete destruction
of rebellion. It will be seen that all who have rejected the divine
precepts have placed themselves on the side of Satan, in warfare
against Christ. When the prince of this world shall be judged, and
all who have united with him shall share his fate, the whole universe
will declare, “Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints”
(
Revelation 15:3
).
