According to The Bible in 2 Timothy 3: 16,17, The Bible is a letter from God and beneficial for our teaching and setting things straight. The Creator of our planet has this to say concerning who has world power now.
1 John 5: 19 reads. "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. And Revelation 12: 9 helps us to understand who is the wicked one in these Words. "The original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth.
The original serpent mentioned here is found in the first Book of the Bible in Genesis chapter 3 , which is mankind's history. It explains why our world went from bad to worse.
Adam and Eve had the choice to be obedient to the One who had given them life. Read Genesis 2: 17 That tree expresses the universal truth of God's sovereignty as well as man's dependence upon God and his duty toward God.
Romans5: 12 reads. " That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin. The Word "sin" means (miss the goal or failing to do what should be done) And that is exactly what has happened to mankind. By failing to listen to the only person who had their best interest, mankind has put itself under the influence of the opponent of God, who is in power over the whole world, to this day.
However, we are not left without help. 1 John 5: 20 reads. "The Son of God has come, and he has given us insight so that we may gain knowledge of the one who is true. And we are in union with the one who is true, by means of his Son Jesus Christ.
God's Son has this to say in Matthew 4: 4 . " man must live, not on bread alone, but on every Word that comes from Jehovah God's mouth".
Daniel 2: 44 shows that God is going restorate his sovereignty in these Words. " The God of heaven will set up a kingdom ( government) that will never be destroyed and it will crush and put an end to all these Kingdoms . (human governments).
So to answer your question, which is " Who has world power today? The answer is: there are only two influences. Satan's influence and God's influence, and mankind has to choose which power is best for them. Jeremiah 10: 23 reminds us that it does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step. It means that humans were not created to rule themselves. They do a poor job of governing other people and solving their problems.
Consider: Britannica Academic notes that individual governments seem unable to " handle the universal enemies of poverty, hunger, disease, natural disaster, and war or other violence."
It continues: " Some beleive that only a form of world government can make decisive headway against evils." however, even if all human governments united, the whole world would still be ruled by imperfect humans who are unable to overcome the difficulties mentioned above. God's kingdom is the only government that has the power to solve all global problems permanently.
According to Psalm 37: 29 The righteous will possess the earth and they will forever on it, which has always been God's purpose and it has not changed. That is the goal that mankind has missed, due to Adam and Eve's choice.
