The Holy Trinity needs a sexy sultry sun goddess that sports a set of parabolas that would give a bull moose a cardiac arrest.
Holy Quad-trinity doesn't sound good so Jesus or the holy Spirit will go and have to be a monsignor or something.

well i dont know nor does anyone else know all that GOD is doing but i think he is still creating beauty throughout creation.GOD has a great intrest in all that goes on in the entirety of heaven and creation which is far more than just our little corner.but GOD has a special intrest in us because he gave his only begotten son JESUS as a sacrifice for our sins.he knows us all better than we know ourselves and wants us all to accept JESUS and by this saving grace have a home in heaven.he also has the company of angels and others in heaven he has plenty to do.and there are miracles everyday many go unknown but in heaven willbe known.the last part is stupid GOD is holy and has no need for carnal knowledge dont be so twisted.

Your questions are interesting, and show that you have a mind. Read: The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins..... but only if as well, you are a rather smart person.

To assemble these armies, Satan will send "spirits of demons, performing signs . . . to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty" (Revelation 16:14). What the gathered generals, other officers and soldiers will not realize is that Satan plans to use them to fight Jesus Christ as He descends from heaven (Revelation 19:11-19; Zechariah 14:3-4).
This "great day of God Almighty" (Revelation 16:14) is also called the "Day of the Lord" in the Scriptures. These terms, in this context, refer to the time just before Christ returns when God will punish a defiant humanity for its rebellion. It is the time when the nations in Satan's system will bring on themselves the wrath of God (Revelation 14:9-10).
A large faction in this final battle—the beast power supported by a coalition of 10 rulers—will amass its armies on the plain near the ancient military fortress of Megiddo in northern Israel. "And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon" (Revelation 16:16).
The very word Armageddon (from Har-magedon, the hill of Megiddo) has become a term for a vast and decisive battle that threatens all life on the planet. That was the point of Christ's statement about the time of the end: Human survival is at stake! Weapons of mass destruction are so powerful that life on earth can be destroyed many times over.
As Daniel said: "At that time . . . there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time" (Daniel 12:1). Without Jesus Christ's intervention to rescue the world from Satan's cunning and man's foolishness, human life would be extinguished.
Maybe this seems too fantastic ever to really occur. But it is real. It will happen. The apostle Paul spoke plainly of this earth-shaking time: "For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night [at an unexpected time]. For when they say, 'Peace and safety!' then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape" (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3).
When the world's final effort for international unity to insure "peace and safety" falls apart, a world war unlike anything man has ever seen will result. After a brief period of unimaginable destruction, Christ will intervene to prevent human annihilation (Matthew 24:22).
God will humble the nations
Why must the world come to this tragic state of affairs? What is God's purpose at this critical time in history, the era the Bible calls "the great and awesome day of the Lord"? (Joel 2:31).
God's ultimate goal has always been to bring all people to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). But universal repentance is impossible as long as most people follow Satan's lead in proudly exalting human opinions and traditions above the teaching of the living God.
Long ago, through Isaiah, God explained what He plans to accomplish during the coming Day of the Lord. "For the day of the Lord of hosts shall come upon everything proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up; and it shall be brought low" (Isaiah 2:12). Before Jesus Christ returns to assume rulership over the earth, God plans to humble all people who will respond to His correction.
The survivors from this brief but devastating period—especially those descended from ancient Israel and Judah—will be primarily people whose hearts have softened and been humbled by their experiences (Isaiah 2:11). Through their trauma God will prepare a humbled people who will willingly accept Christ's leadership and teaching when He returns.
The prophet Zephaniah explained that God uses catastrophes to humble people. ". . . My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms, to pour on them My indignation, all My fierce anger; all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy . . . for then I will take away from your midst those who rejoice in your pride, and you shall no longer be haughty in My holy mountain. I will leave in your midst a meek and humble people . . ." (Zephaniah 3:8-12).
Though this passage is specifically directed toward the end-time remnant of Israel and Judah, it graphically illustrates how and why God humbles the proud and arrogant.
Through the prophet Ezekiel God explained why He urges mankind to repent and turn from sin: "Again, when I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die,' if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right, . . . and walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die" (Ezekiel 33:14-15). Isaiah 59:20 illustrates the same principle: "'The Redeemer will come to Zion [Jerusalem], and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,' says the Lord."
On the other hand, God promises no such rescue for those who reject His correction and refuse to repent of their arrogant and rebellious ways. They will receive no divine protection from the horrendous destruction that will ravage the earth. "Behold, the day of the Lord comes, cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and He will destroy its sinners from it" (Isaiah 13:9).
Preparing the world for Christ's return
Many prophetic passages describe the time of God's preparation of the world to accept the rule of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God. As Creator of the universe, God will demonstrate His authority and power over everything He has created. Mankind will have no excuse for refusing to honor Him with the respect due His name.
Why are drastic measures necessary?
Notice Paul's description of humanity's prevailing attitude at the time of the end: "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power" (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
Mankind's attitude and motivation must change. The haughty, headstrong, unloving and brutal attitudes dominating the world at the time of the end must be altered. God knows that only the destruction of this world's society—ironically, mostly by man's own treachery and violence—will adequately shock hardened human minds into realizing that "this present evil age" is too corrupt to be preserved.
Our society is rapidly deteriorating morally and spiritually into the ungodly attitudes and practices that Paul warned would characterize the last days. Jesus gives this warning to people perceptive enough and willing to listen: "But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth" (Luke 21:34-35).
