The enemy approached God with a grin, having returned from the Earth to observe humans with his close followers behind him. "Humans only follow your laws because you give them everything they could want. They would curse you if they lost everything. Afterall, you bless all their works and meet all their needs."
God replied, "We shall see. I grant you permission to try. But you cannot harm them directly."
The enemy gleefully devestated humanity, destroying all works, rotting crops, burning possessions of great value. Humanity mourned but did not curse God.
The enemy returned, and God asked, "Well? Did you get what you were seeking?" The enemy's smile faltered for a brief moment before responding. "Ah, but health is more important to humanity than possessions. If they lost their health, they would surely curse you."
God once again replied, "We shall see. I grant you permission to try. But you cannot kill them."
The enemy quickly set plagues upon humanity. They were overwhelmed with painful misery, disfigured and sick. Humanity mourned but did not curse God.
The enemy was shone that his rebellion was failed. The humans did not curse God and kept faith through tremendous loss. The enemy was cast down from heaven and bound to time like the humans he so hated. He used his power to spread his own type of humans across the land, indistinguishable from God's own except they only seek to steal, kill, and destroy. A mighty angel aaked God if he could wipe out the fake humans. But God, not wanting to lose even a single one of his own did not allow the culling.
This is where we are now. We are surrounded by humans who are not human, who seek to make us weak, sick, poor, enslaved, anxious, and depressed. But the end to suffering is almost here. Even as the armies of the enemy surround our countries, God is here. And when the Beloved City returns, the enemy will launch a final assault against God's real people and be wiped out in fire from heaven.
