Chaos is not God's will. We see this in the opening verses of
Genesis and in the First Epistle of John, where those causing
confusion are ultimately labeled as "children of the devil" (1 John
3:10). We see examples of this theme throughout Israel's history,
in the messages of the prophets, in Jesus' demonstrations of
authority over the powers of darkness, in the Epistles where we
find principles for living godly and non-chaotic lives, and finally
in the Book of Revelation where, in the end, Jesus victoriously
reigns over all. These images illustrate the origin of
international development: setting right what is not right,
something destroyed and desolate, something that is not compatible
with life-tohu wabohu. "Creation ... constituted bringing order to
the cosmos from an originally nonfunctional condition." There is a
need in all societies for restoring order and relationships to
reflect God's will for this world, overcoming evil with good.
