There is a text that says: "We know that we belong to God and that the whole world is in the evil one", it is found in the first book written by John chapter 5 verse 19. If we read it in its original Greek, we can understand the different words .
The term translated for world is the Greek word " kosmos ", this word in the Christian concept has to do with people who do not have God as their guide, it must be understood that Christians are defined as outsiders, that is, they are not from this world. world, or as you would say in Greek, are not from the " kosmos " of earth's leadership. And it is in this sense that the text is defining. The " Kosmos " in question relates to the political powers of the world. Defining those who consider world governments to be correct. A careful analysis, and we see governments clearly hypocritical towards each other. And the populations develop parties for each direction, justifying the bad acts of each political direction.
Daniel , represents the world as a great statue that represents political systems, until it is destroyed. This statue represents the kingdoms, they do not represent good actions, but they define the moments in which they acted in history.
It is defined that all political systems in which man is the head, have their actions dominated by the evil one. This word in Greek comes from the Greek term " poneros ", this term defines the individual who does evil, linked to concepts such as bad, malignant, lascivious, malicious, perverse. Thus, this term is not directly linked to defining a being, but defining a conduct. In which the world that is in the evil one, does not define the entity, but rather the practices. In this way, the terms define that human political systems are linked to evil actions. The term that is translated as "is", is the term " keimai ", this term defines how to be connected, or to be a practitioner. Normally, people idealize it as merely being in something, but the term defines practicing something, that is, being united with the practice. Thus, the correct interpretation is that the world lives doing evil. That would be the real concept of the term.
Sometimes a careless reading, and the person imagines a philosophical concept, that the world is merely connected with an evil entity. But the verse defines a practical concept, in which the world does bad things.
And this is how we see today, an endless hypocrisy, in which some justify evil, and condemn the evil of others, but everyone generates evil. They kill women and children, from one country, and when it happens in yours, it condemns. Basically, hypocrisy is the basis for continuing to do evil.
And so the world goes from bad to worse.
