A creation, filled with the Father’s blessings has turned against mankind and now threatens his existence. The Evil One has done this, planting weeds in the garden. The Father prudently waits, concerned about His children, and willing to accept what humanity does to His creation so He can save the children.
Yet, a time to purify must come. He foresees the circumstances when He must intervene. He has sent the Woman to prepare the world. All of creation must be purified.
