Luke 4:5-7 " And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,  and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.  If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.”

Satan found a partner through which he rules the world. He has sought such a partner from the time he seduced Eve, and even made his pitch to Abraham through the King of Sodom (representing Satan). Jesus, like Abraham, rejected the King of Sodom/Satan.  But someone took the devil up on his offer.  Do not think that we live in a "neutral world."  Our response must be as full spectrum as that of the Serpent: he builds an antichrist world and the Church must build explicitly Christian nations.
