Who really rules this world?
“We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.”
1 John 5:19

“And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him
Revelation 12:7-9

How does the Bible describe Satan’s world?
“Just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting. And they were filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and badness, being full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice, being whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, schemers of what is harmful, disobedient to parents, without understanding, false to agreements, having no natural affection, and merciless.”
Romans 1:28-30

What will happen to this world?
“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever.”
Daniel 2:44

“For evil men will be done away with, But those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth. Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there.”
Psalms 37:9, 10

God’s Kingdom by Christ Jesus is the only true solution to our problems.
“Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.”
Matthew 6:9, 10

Yes it is this wicked world of mankind that Satan is ruler of that will be destroyed and God's Kingdom that has God's only-begotten son as king will take it's place. Jesus Christ by means of God's Kingdom will make this planet into a paradise Earth. So because God has chosen Jesus Christ to rule this planet Satan's rulership is doomed.

I see that you answered your own question and I think I agree with your answer.

I'll give another answer as well.

The world is a mess because those who are in charge, those who work for Satan (and those who don't realize they do), believe in Organization through Chaos or Order through Chaos. It's an old strategy of shaking things up to more quickly alter a society completely in order to make it the way you want it to be; a result that is very different from the original state of things.

To destabilize a society, the family values and morals must be disintegrated and all races, sexes and creeds must be turned against each other. We are dead in the middle of that being completed, if not already there.

Contrary to popular opinion, most of the rationale, reason, logic and basic morals of our world come from the Bible.

Those who run things desire a world that is founded upon the total opposite. That is what we are speeding toward today. And that is what will likely be accomplished shortly before Christ returns and destroys everything.

Why is the world a mess? Because that is exactly the way the devil wants it as a means to his plan's end.

You nailed it David, that is the reason, as well as our hope. Keep up the great work.

While I will agree that the angel that became Satan the Devil hates the True God YHWH and wants to destroyed YHWH God rulership. I think Satan honestly thought he could rule mankind better than the True God YHWH. That certainly shows hatred toward the True God YHWH. It also shows that this angel had lost the love for the True God because he no longer had faith that the True God YHWH was the only person who could rule his creation in a way that showed that only he had the ability to rule his creation in a way that showed that he only knew what was in the best interests of what he had created or what wasn't in the best interests of what he had created. It shows that this deception in which this angel who became Satan the Devil had deceived himself into believing, that he could rule better that the True God YHWH.
