People often wonder why God doesn't stop evil from infiltrating our world. Why does he allow the wicked to advance their sinister causes?

Why do the innocent suffer?

Those are tough questions to answer.

Well today on Insight for Living,

Chuck Wendall describes a future time when God will unleash his judgment on those who've defied him.

His application comes from Revelation Chapter 9.

In this passage, we witness an alarming scene when justice is served.

Let's begin in verse 4. Chuck titled his message, Releasing Demons from the abyss.

Please take notice of four limitations placed on these demons who have filled the

creature form of a locust, whatever it looked like. First, verse four, they were told not to hurt the grass of the earth

nor any green thing nor any tree.

Second limitation, they were not to hurt believers.

See the end of verse four? But only the men who do not have the seal of God on their forids. You may have forgotten but over

in chapter 7 verses 2 and 3 we read of this ceiling where the Lord

protected a body of people, thousands in number, who are his

followers who come to know Christ at the early part of this great tribulation time.

Look at verse 2 of chapter 7.

I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun

having the seal of the living God. And he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was

granted to harm the earth and the sea. Now watch closely, saying, do not harm the earth

or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond servants

of our God on their forage.
