ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
He is in control of those who submit to His will. The world has its own corrupted will, stemming from the original deception. satan deceived man, because man had the dominion and He wanted it. God is in control ultimately, but the world was turned over to satan, by mankind following His will, UNTIL the appointed time.
romans 8: 20-21 "For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be LIBERATED FROM ITS BONDAGE TO DECAY and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God."
mankind gave satan authority when we followed His will in eden, because He took man captive, and man Had the dominion from the creation in genesis 1. " Gods gifts are irrevocable" the dominion over the earth is mans, its a matter of whether we serve satans will, or the Will of God in Christ Jesus.
