I cant help but get conspiratorial about this
Humans are capable of conspiracies.
Who would conspire to bring down the world economy? Ones say there are certain world leaders who have openly said they want a world "reset". Also, outright communists could be conspiring to weaken the noncommunist world, so communism can take over. And possibly ISIS and/or Al Qaeda hope to bring down the present way of things so they can bring in Sharia Law. And maybe certain Bible claiming people are doing things to try to get control of this world's economy and other cultural things, in order to bring in how they think the Bible means the whole world should do things. And . . . who else?
Oh yes > certain ones might want to use the COVID situation to make certain political leaders look bad, so they can get their preferred candidates in . . . in various government places of different countries. And there is a conspiracy to blame China and claim China has a conspiracy to make Donald Trump look bad. And I suppose ones in Russia could have some scheme.
So-o-o > then > my theory is that in case someone does have some conspiracy in the works, there are other conspiracy groups who are competing. And in case one conspiring group does get a reset . . . others might then conspire to make use of that situation: there will be conspiracies to take down the conspirators . . . or make use of whatever the conspirators accomplish . . . like how we with God have used the crucifixion of Christ for good, though Roman and Jewish conspirators meant the crucifixion for other reasons.
May be . . . for all I know . . . there are several different groups all trying for a reset, and each one is congratulating itself for being the one whose conspiracy caused the reset! But then someone else gets some control, and the self-congratulating conspirators are griping that there is a conspiracy interfering with what they supposed they were going to get.
But
"God resists the proud" (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5) > and so things by worldly people have a way of meeting with resistance, no matter what they do; because God is ahead of them all
Plus, even in countries under severe tyranny, there are ones who don't give in to it. And they conspire and/or keep doing the good they can do to love. So, may be we could say, you can control some number of people some of the time, but not all of the people all the time.
