Who really controls the world?

  1

John 12:31
'Now sentence is being passed on this world;
now the prince of this world is to be driven out.

  2

2 Corinthians 4:3-4
If our gospel seems to be veiled at all,
it is so to those who are on the way to destruction,
4 the unbelievers whose minds have been blinded by the god
of this world, so that they cannot see shining the light of the gospel
of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

  3

2 Corinthians 11:13-15
These people are counterfeit apostles, dishonest workers
disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14 There is nothing astonishing in this;
even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 It is nothing extraordinary, then, when his servants disguise
themselves as the servants of uprightness.
They will come to the end appropriate to what they have done.

  4

1 John 5:19
We are well aware that we are from God,
and the whole world is in the power of the Evil One.

  5

Matthew 4:8-9
Next, taking him to a very high mountain,
the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world
and their splendour.
9 And he said to him, 'I will give you all these,
if you fall at my feet and do me homage.'

  6

Revelation 12:7-9,12
And now war broke out in heaven,
when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon.
The dragon fought back with his angels,
8 but they were defeated and driven out of heaven.
9 The great dragon, the primeval serpent,
known as the devil or Satan, who had led all the world astray,
was hurled down to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him.
12 So let the heavens rejoice and all who live there;
but for you, earth and sea, disaster is coming --
because the devil has gone down to you in a rage,
knowing that he has little time left.'
