Why God Isn’t to Blame for Evil—You Are! — Part 3 | Michael Heiser

Michael Heiser emphasises that God has only one unwavering plan: to restore humanity’s original identity by bringing people back into His family and partnering with them to continue this redemptive process. God is not capricious or reactive—He does not wish evil nor invent alternate plans when things go wrong. Instead, He grants humans freedom, and the misuse of this freedom leads to evil and suffering. Heiser illustrates this through the story of David fleeing Saul, showing that God foreknows outcomes without predestining events to happen. The biblical narrative is about God’s persistent effort to recover a family he created in His image, despite repeated supernatural and human rebellions that disrupt His mission. There is no Plan B; God’s goal remains constant—to have humans living in relationship with Him, sharing His presence and mission in the world. #jesus #satan #michaelheiser #falling #lightning #heaven #messiah #paul #gospel #kingdommindset #mark #spiritualwarfare #wisdom #bashan #peter #john #rabbittrail
