We are a rebellious lot and must learn from our mistakes, parents can not protect our children from every evil in life, God the Father gave us free will to make choices, many not wise choices, but He did give us a book to guide us into making the right choices. God has an enemy, Satan, who tempts us to make unwise choices, read the book of Job to see what Satan would do to mankind if God gave him free reign over us. Just as the Jews wanted a king to rule over them, God gave them kings, knowing it was bad for them but they had to learn the hard way. Mankind wants to rule and govern themselves, so He gave us a period of time to do so, knowing that we would make a mess of it, and we have. That period of time is about to come to an end when Jesus will set up His kingdom and rule with a rod of iron because man is still evil in his heart. After a thousand years of living in peace and perfection, man still will not be satisfied. When Satan is loosed from the pits of hell after a thousand years, he will have no trouble raising an army of people to try to take over earth again, but this time Satan will be tossed into the lake of fire for eternity. Jesus told us signs to watch for so we would know that He was about to make His move on this earth, those signs are fast falling into place, so believers, look up your redemption is drawing nigh. Sinners, you have but a short time to make your peace with God and accept His plan of salvation. Read His book, the bible, to learn about His Son and what He did to make a way for us.
