Why is God doing it THIS way?

[PaulSacramento]

Someone posted this on another site and I found it quite interesting:

I am not responding based on the initial topic of this thread, but on the complaints of God giving commands and leading people directly and not using man. Here is some food for thought.

He interacted directly with people in early times. But time and again MAN went to making idols and making other men as kings. When he lead Israel out of Egypt, the Israelites did not have to lift a finger. He was dealing directly with them for quite awhile. But they kept on not wanting to deal with him directly, they kept wanting a human king over them. So things quickly began to change. He gave in and gave them a human king. Time after time a human being king became corrupt and lead all of them into corruption. When he was dealing with them directly, they kept rebelling and going to idols and human rulers.

So now we are living in a period of time where he isn't doing any "in the worlds face" events and sending angels and visually doing things that had been done before. And man is having man ruling, and the world is now quickly getting tired of human rulers. Everyone is saying, If there is a God, why doesn't he do anything. You know as a parent if you tell your child not to touch a stove because it's hot, they may not believe you or understand, so they have to experience it themself, if they ever touch a stove they won't do it again.

History with Israelites and what we are living in now, shows that power corrupts. And humanity is teaching and proving to itself that we do not want human rulers, and I think it will never be asked again. So this has been an appointed time, and a lesson of tough love.

I have a bit of a theory to add to this though as well. After the fall of man God made a promise to mankind to bring his son and so he choose to intervene in human affairs holding back the powers of evil until Jesus was born. After Jesus left the true power and destruction of evil would then be allowed to run it's course to what we have today. This evil system will be allowed to finish itself off and if God gave his spirit or sent angels would that not just give positive energy/life to drag out and delay the complete fall of what is now?
