It is difficult for us to understand how all authority can be given to Jesus and yet so much evil be in the world. If all demons and angels are subject to him, is he responsible for the horrific things that happen to human beings? Could he not stop all this and the fact that he doesn't make him responsible?
So many have asked this question and many have lost their faith because of this question. The writer of Hebrews addresses this specifically. "...putting everything in subjection under his feet. Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone (Hebrews 2:8-9)
We know Jesus is not the instigator of evil evil in any form (Hebrews 1:8-9; James 1:13-15, 17) and we know the end of the conflict between evil and righteousness is the destruction of evil and all those who instigate it (Mt 5:22-29; 23:15, 29-36; James 2:1-22).
I do not have the definitive answer, but I know, based on scripture, I do not want any part of perpetuating evil.
