Annoying creatures, meaning...say, flies...if you're at a picnic, or barbecue, and the fly lands on your food, and you shoo it away, it comes back. You shoo it away again, here it comes again...and again...on and on. Why doesn't it take no for an answer? Doesn't it see that by continually shooing it away, that it's not welcome there? And mosquitoes...you try to walk in certain areas in the summer, and you have to keep squatting them away, they literally fly with you as you walk. How about cockroaches? Can any of you say that you would enjoy it if you turn on the light to get food, and see cockroaches crawling on it? Wondering why God would create these troublesome kinds of creatures. Oh, let me add fleas to the list.

Why did God create annoying creatures?
- Thread starter Steven Bobb
- Start date
God loves you and cares for you and everyone you love. He wants us all humble and pure before His sight. That is one reason He sent annoying creatures around us. Just pray for them. Ask Jesus to save their souls and Jesus will hear from heaven and answer your prayer.

Hey, Stephen — remember back in Genesis, that when God created everything it was “very good” and then rested (Gen 1:31-32).
Do you think Adam was swatting flies and mosquitoes in “The Garden of Eden?”
When man fell as the “Head” of “all creation,” all creation fell with him. That’s when childbirth became painful and after that you see Cain and Abel, Lamech, Noah, Babel, etc...
Creation was subjected to futility... That’s why there are mosquitoes and flies in Hawaii and no paradise on earth. That’s why Paul says, “18 I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. 23 Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently” Rom 8:18-25).
Do you remember when Jesus fell carrying the cross in Mel Gibson’s, “The Passion of The Christ?” Mary, in the movie, ran over to him and Jesus told her, “Behold, I am making all things new?” Well that quote was from Revelation, but it was none-the-less TRUE...
Jesus became “The New Head of Creation” as Colossians, Hebrews, Psalms and other places explain — He did correctly what Adam messed up — He undid the fall and the death He died was for all creation, to whom the curse passed, “The day you eat from the tree you die” said The Lord.
Well Jesus died that death for our sakes, and was buried, and re-gained authority over creation for all of us — He had it the whole time, walking on water, stilling storms, raising the dead, opening the eyes of the blind, the transfiguration, etc, these were big hints He was Ruler of Creation, but he did this for all of us to be raised from the dead at the resurrection — “Cobras, Vipers, Lions” and et cetera will have a different nature after the resurrection —yes, even mosquitoes, flies, jellyfish, sea urchins, sharks, etc... “The Trees of the Fields shall even clap their hands” (Isaiah 55:12).
So kindly don’t say God created them this way since all creation was subjected to futility when Adam the head of creation fell, and kindly set your hope fully on the grace that will be revealed when God’s Son returns from heaven, and transforms (metamorphao in the Greek, from which we get metamorphosis) these bodies subjected to frustration into conformity with His own glorious body, by the power He has to subject everything to Himself (Phil 3:20-21, 1 John).

Once “The Fall, and all creation with it” occurred, everything is less than it was before “The Fall.” Have you ever seen the Movie, “Beauty and The Beast?” We mostly think of it about Belle, Gaston, a Beast, a bunch of morphed pieces of furniture (Mrs Potts the Tea Kettle, Chip the Cup, Luminaire the Candlestick, Clogsworth the Clock, Belle’s father (an eccentric “genius inventor” and a bunch of French villagers who don’t understand Belle — But at the beginning, a handsome prince has a castle but has no love in his heart for an ugly old woman asking for shelter. Fact is she was actually a beautiful enchantress that put’s a curse not just on the Head of The Castle, the Prince, but on the Entire Castle, and immediately we are swept into the storyline to where we forget that everything in the castle had been something else originally. So we go through the movie (or book or play for that matter) entirely forgetting that everything is obscured and darkened over the castle.
Thankfully “The Beast” learns how to love before the last petal falls, strategically and timely, just prior to his expiration from multiple arrow wounds from Gaston, and suddenly, though he died, “the death he died was for the whole castle” — and in his death he is literally raised from the ground, starts turning, shooting light from his fingertips, and starts to be transformed from a beast to a handsome prince. Then suddenly hot coals begin to come from the throne of God and change not just the beast to a prince, but every animated utensil or piece of furniture of the castle from what we had known it as back to what it was meant to be.
Salvation restores us to what we were supposed to be, but the resurrection takes us to beyond. And in the millennium, “the circle of life” will be shattered, everything restored to God’s original design for 1,000 years, and God will have another “Sabbath” until the devil is released again for a short time, deceives the nations again, picks another fight, loses and is punished eternally for good, and we have “A New Heaven and a New Earth” — May we read the Bible cover to cover multiple times to find out what it really teaches — it’s not that hard to understand and we don’t have to wonder what’s going to happen because we know in advance... God bless...

Annoying creatures will always be here. All we have to do is to pray for them. They are sent by satan to make us all angry and then sin against God.
