I really do believe that even the glimpes of goodness that we do end up seeing in the world are completely of God and a result of the presence of the holy spirit on earth(through the saints) and the intercession of his people . We have no idea how utterly dark and wicked this world would be without God intervening(through the authority we are given) to bring peace and light into the world by prayer. I was reading the Bible about how Herod had killed all the male children 2 years and younger and even though it sheds light on the incredible depths of his wickedness it also brings to light the awful spiritual condition of the people as well. Can you imagine if Biden or some president ordered soldiers to go door to door and execute all children 2 years old and younger? No solider would comply. The people would rise up in wrath and indignation and overthrow this demon in a heartbeat, yet the people of Israel allowed such a transgression to occur. Herod as a leader was a genocidal mass murderer of newborn infants, the soldiers were baby killers, the people consented by their indifference and apathy. Can you imagine how dark a human heart would have to be to kill a newborn baby?
Jesus always rebuked the people and referred to them as a "wicked and perverse" generation, as murderers, but I dont think we have any real idea how utterly corrupt they were at the time of his incarnation. These sort of unfathomable evils always characterized the governments and monarchies of past , but this was at a time where there was no presence of Gods spirit on earth( through his saints). I think when atheists say we have evolved and become moral and more civilized society allot of is purely attributed to Gods people standing in the gap and praying with the power and authority of the holy spirit to bring peace on Earth. If Gods spirit and people just vanished from the face of the planet this world would go right back to the hopelessly dark condition it was in when soldiers would exexute newborn infants without refusing orders. It would go back to people just allowing this without any kind of attempted overthrow of government. We should thank God for his light and goodness on earth, because without it we would be consumed by unfiltered and unquenchable barbarism.
