This world is the theatre on which a drama is being enacted which is commanding the attention of the universe. We are called to be actors in this drama. The question to be worked out is, Which plan of government is the better, Satan's or God's? To which one will God's created beings give their allegiance? When God sends out His servants, what is their work. "Delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles unto whom now I send thee. To open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins." Acts 26: 17, 18.
The question is one of loyalty to God. This may help you to see the meaning of some things which have possibly been doubtful to you.
