The interesting thing about this all is, it's all designed to take down the devil. We are pawns of the devil... except if we believe in Jesus-God for salvation.

Jesus did His work on the cross, and in His resurrection from death. God placed Jesus in and as the ruling authority over the whole universe... and that includes all time, from the beginning. The whole Jesus-operation is meant to take out the devil and evil.

We barely see and understand because the devil has placed his evil in us at the time of the Garden of Eden and the first two people. We, being descendants of the first people can't help but to be tainted at least a little by the devil.

This whole universe will come down once Jesus has saved all the people that can be saved. But that's only the beginning of the time that God will start the New Universe that He has predicted.

That is the only reason why there is any peace and goodness at all in this universe... Jesus working salvation for His people. Check out the Revelation at the end of the Bible.
