It seems to me the good in humanity is in constant conflict with the bad. The old cowboy movies made that clear. Yet we could say that the mid 20th century was a good time for many of the first world nations even though there were constant wars.
What made it good was not us or our godly ideals, but a sense of prosperity for those with the upper hand. It was when this prosperity started to dwindle towards the end of that century and up until now, that we now seem to see the world as swinging back to the bad (a natural cycle in history).
Will good overcome this new setback? Jesus said no, not until His return will the cycle end. Even then the world will unite against Him because it will be unwilling to let go of itself and it's self destructive ways. Winners always lose in the end simply because the way that they won in the first place was not out of loving neighbour as self, but by might.
How many confuse prosperity with God's will being done?
