A religious scoffer asked:

“So you are saying God was not capable of dealing with one rogue angel and that’s why he did the whole Jesus thing?”

Christian response,

Satan was Elohim’s anointed guardian cherub (Ezekiel 28:11+)…Satan served in the inner fold of Elohim’s administration. Satan’s charismatic gifts convinced one-third of the entire angelic realm to rebel against Elohim’s authority. This conundrum placed Elohim between a rock and hard place…so to speak. Destroy Satan and one-third of the angelic realm for their rebellion and destruction to the Kingdom and risk losing volitional intimacy with two-thirds of the faithful angelic creation, a faithful angelic majority who would respond to such a drastic measure with repulsion and possibly no longer love and honor Elohim as Creator but fear Him and serve, obey, out of compulsion which would have destroyed intimacy as love cannot be coerced or forced – OR – Elohim could provide a physical realm constrained by Time and physics, remove the spiritual rebellion and its participants from the Kingdom and place the destructive rebellion there, partially constrained by physics, and deal with the rebellion through a battle strategy that involves selfless love, grace, mercy and self-sacrifice by Elohim, Himself; this strategic tactic would consequently destroy the works of Satan, death-Hell-the grave, expose Satan’s folly and unsustainable behavior through selfless love; therefore, the previous 6000-years of spiritual and physical horror within the Realm of Time mirrors a spiritual war that manifest in the Kingdom before Time was created, a spiritual war that is waged around us and through us, daily (Ephesians 6).

Elohim chose victory through selfless love via a Gospel battle strategy that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10) and this Gospel battle strategy is the primary reason Messiah Jesus, who is Elohim manifest in flesh, entered the Realm of Time; that is, “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) via selfless love first demonstrated in Eden (Genesis 3:21), a divine battle strategy that was ultimately fulfilled at Golgotha with the words “It is finished” (John 19:30).

The previous 6000-years of horror, death, destruction, within the Realm of Time, the suffering, disease, hopelessness; the future 1000-years of Millennial peace as Satan is confined and restrained from interacting with humanity; the war that manifests the moment Satan is released, the entire scenario is a bulwark, an example, to the faithful angelic creation demonstrating why Elohim’s plan is eternally superior to that of Satan’s narcissism and the scenario playing-out before our eyes will provide a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom where free will remains extant by necessity.

Our entire creation in Time is nothing more than Elohim’s response to an unfathomable destructive rebellion having manifest in His Kingdom in the Eternal Realm.

Elohim’s battle strategy was first declared in Genesis 3:15, pictured in Genesis 3:21, fulfilled at Golgotha (John 19:30). Human kind is afforded the opportunity via free will to come along side Elohim via faith in our Warrior, Messiah Jesus, and attain victory over the Devil – OR – humanity can choose to honor Satan by rejecting Messiah Jesus. Those who honor the Father by faith in the Son will enjoy the spoils of victory; those who honor Satan through an alliance with him will suffer a fate similar to his subsequent Judgment (Revelation 20:10-15).
