After much study and prayer I have come to see that God has two wills. I call them direct and indirect.
The direct will is when God is the cause of whatever, the flood, the creation, Jesus. Indirect is when God is not the cause but just let’s things play out as He has always known they would. Just because God knows all things does mean He caused them. He knew Adam would sin but did not cause him to sin. Why does God allow so much human suffering ? So they can learn that sin hurts but love heals. The way of life we all live is the result of Adams choice and God simply gave Adam what he chose. To learn that life without God is suffering and with God only can suffering end. It is one of Gods distant direct wills to end all suffering and wipe away all tears but now now. We must suffer with Christ in this current evil age but with God we can bear it. John 14:27 We like Abraham look for a city whose builder and maker is God. Hebrews 11:10. We are like Abraham wandering in a spiritual wilderness looking for that same city. This will is the direct will of God.
