I think we humans forget too easily that *we* can't do things like that, really. The hand of God is on everything - everything! Our job is to be faithful in good times & bad (and discern what He is asking us to do.... which may very well be "trying to stop this from ever happening again" ). I am a firm believer in the hand of God on history. "You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good". We may never know (completely) the "who, why, what" of the past few years this side of heaven. Our world was trending *very* evil (has been for decades, if not longer). A group of friends & I have been praying all along for evil to be exposed, and *then* for wisdom on what we ought to do once the evil became obvious...
I think that “trend” is past the point of no return. God’s plan will come to fruition eventually and I believe that time is coming soon. I think the world will wax worse and worse, we may have little wins here and there, or some that seem like we have only to be undone, but overall I think we are going to continue down the path toward the end of the story and the new beginning--eternal life with God, for believers and eternity without Him, for the rest of humankind.
