Many people think, say, and pray: "Why doesn't God act now and stop evil?"

The world can be imagined much like a hostage situation in a bank.
The criminals took over the bank, took the customers and clerks hostage,
and demand ransom. Either they will be paid, or they will stop shooting
hostages, one every hour.

But some of the customers sided with the criminals, some thought that
the bank is evil and robbing them, so they all got mixed. The SWAT team
couldn't enter because they would kill half of the clerks and customers
in the line of fire to take out the criminals and robbers.

Then mayor decided to send his son, unarmed, because
he was an influencer and a popular guy, so he could win the hearts
of the customers and clerks back to the side of the law and justice.

Banks, however much they inclined to usury and eviction of the debtors
from their homes to the streets, are protected by the law.

Mayor's son entered the bank alone, unarmed, and started negotiating.
He started to persuade the people to help the police as they enter the
building in an attempt to deliver them. However, as the criminals
figured out they are losing the heist, they executed the major's son.

After that, the criminals lost the support of the public and only the
criminals among the customers still supported them.

But the situation was still not clear, and the SWAT team could not
enter, because some of the innocent customers would be killed out
as collateral victims, but that was still not acceptable to the grieved
mayor, despite losing his son's life at the hand of the kidnappers.

So the impossible game of nerves and negotiation continued ...

in the LORD
Amen
