Factions When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, they handed their authority over the earth that God had given them to the spiritual powers of evil. Their mistake allowed a massive shift in authority from humans to the powers of evil. God had taken a big risk when he created the earth and gave authority over it to humans. For them to give that authority up so quickly and easily to evil spiritual powers who hated him was a disaster.
One thing i have definitely thought which you mention here is why reveal? but not just that, surely if we have "figured it out" then the devil need only to sit in on one of our youtubes, writtings, sermons, etc and get the inside scoop haha.
I do think that we may also play a part in creating confusion. We all see in part. The more theories about scripture the more also the enemies have to consider.
Reminds me of Tolkien's Silmarillion quote:
"Thou, Melkor (a satan archetype), shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my respite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined"
In trying to make God out to be a liar (to deny his prophecies) the enemy will only make it the events play out. Genius plan really and how humiliating for the enemy!! No matter what you do to stop/change/edit it you bring it about anyway. Amazing.
Interesting write up! Thanks!
