This story is a quite refreshing to our fleshly minds. But it is not at all God honoring. God, by His omni powerful nature, can never be BUSY.

God, in His definite wise reasons, let the wicked have their time on this earth, deferring His justice until the appointed time at the last day.

This Marine acted exactly like Abram and Sarai when they decided to help God by making arrangement that Abram had a son when Sarai could not conceive for the promised son (Genesis 16:2). What an awful time Christians would have to go through, due to the birth of Ishmael, the father of Islam race. Such act of men trying to help God on their own initiative is known to be "acting wiser than God", "going before God", "taking matters in their own hands, " or if I borrow a biblical term being "wise in his own conceit".

Moses made the same kind of mistake when he struck the rock twice (numbers 20:11) when he was told to speak to it. So also king Saul made the same kind of mistake when he offered sacrifice by himself (1 Samuel 13:9) when he was told to wait until Samuel arrived. Do I need to mention Uzzah who was struck dead by lending his hand to steady the cart which carried tabernacle of God (2 Samuel 6:6)?

Every time Christians were persecuted, good news of Jesus Christ had spread like wild fire on the prairies. Being crucified on the cross, Jesus triumphed. What could have happened if Jesus exercised his power and came down from the cross destroying all the Roman armies then?
