God is sovereign, dear. If a woman is raped, it is because God has a Perfect Plan that includes this rape. Often we can surmise the reason behind such a plan, as we have a Generous and Merciful Lord who has preserved His Will in the Holy Bible.
You see, the Lord wants people to know Him, fear Him, and obey Him. In fact, this is the full duty of man (Ecclesiastes 12:13), and everything else exists to support this. In response, He has offered a most wonderful loophole to the default position of enduring an infinite punishment for the finite crime of sin (Romans 6:23). He will even adopt those of us who sufficiently love and obey Him, glorifying us in the same way Christ Himself is glorified (Romans 8:17)!
As humans, however, we have been born in a state of rebellion (sin). We cannot help it as Eve stripped away any hope of inheriting naught but this sin nature (Romans 5:12). We can, however, learn and lean on the Lord for guidance. In His Mercy and Love, He will often opt to show a weak and tender mortal human their need to rely on Him for everything (Psalm 94:12). This is the same kind of love a father shows to a child when taking the xbox he got for Christmas and smashing it in the street to let the child watch cars and trucks run over his beloved game given to him by his favorite aunt and uncle as a consequence for not appreciating his father's wisdom, protection, and provision, and instead treating him without due respect and forgetting the value of practicing First Time Obedience.
So you see, like the x-box being the tool of communication, so to can forced sexual encounters be a divine tool of communication. Certainly it gets the attention of the spoiled, disobedient woman or man, don't you think?
Our God is a loving God!
Our God is an awesome God!
God is good all the time.
All the time, God is good!
