The book of Daniel gives an account of how God's control works out, it shows our world is operated by both an overall plan of the creator, and how our sin interferes with that plan.
I have gone through the 613 suggestions scripture gives BC for living in our world with what is peace in the spiritual sense. To have this peace, we would also need our physical needs cared for. Some of the laws have been fulfilled by Christ, like all those pertaining to blood or the temple. Not gotten rid of, but carried out completely. Some are given in "legalistic way to do this" so you have to search for the heart of the law we are supposed to look at. For some, scripture says that if a person is bent on living like this it is better they not live at all, it is that serious. Those scriptures are extremely difficult to take.
But if these directions for living were carried out, even in today's world, our world would be secure, we would be protected.
I searched for an example of people who lived with these laws as a guide. I found it in a history of Jewish people in the middle ages, among people who weren't living through Christ but only the law. Just by following these guidelines, without the truth of Christ, they created a secure world within a world of crime and sin. They honored marriage, they helped their children make the most of their talents, men and women worked side by side to create a loving home, they banded together when trouble threatened from the outside, they spent their entire energies listening and worshipping their creator. It was an entire book explaining how this affected their world.
I was jealous. God is in control and wants only good for us, but our actions, as we live through faith in His word or fail to, also affect it. When our teens have sex with dating, when we snub someone in church, when what we desire comes before what God wants of us, we pay dearly.
