Evil triumphs and loses

The main point
Evil seems to triumph, but it always loses, because God reigns even in His silence.
About this message
At his birthday banquet, King Herod makes a reckless vow, and John the Baptist, who had told him again and again that his marriage was unlawful, is beheaded in prison. Pastor Vitali draws seven lessons from Mark 6:14-29: knowing about Jesus does not save, guilt and the fear of man trap a person, and faithfulness can cost everything. Evil seems to win, but it loses, because God still reigns, even when He is silent.
For anyone asking why God allows evil, or why He seems silent.
