There is certainly a "Spirit of the World" and it seems to be growing in influence every day. I've heard it called "The Human Spirit", which sounds more innocent, but it's essentially describing a collective human will. It reminds me of the Tower of Babylon, where instead of giving glory to the NAME of the Most High, humanity decided to make a name for themselves instead! It's the Spirit of the World, even back then. Rather than seeking the collective human will, and make a name for ourselves, may we say to our Father in Heaven "May Your will be done." and glorify His Holy NAME!
You are right. The true nature about the world is the fact that the Spirit of the World is controlling and men are given heed.
This world was doomed when the accusers of brethren was sent down the earth.
Thank you for your comment @ironshield
