Summary of the twelfth poem

The twelfth poem summarizes "The Current State of the World".

Everything was very good in the world that God created. God gave this world to humans to manage. Later, because Adam and Eve were not careful and listened to the devil's temptation and sinned, the devil became the king of mankind through sin, and man became the slave of sin. Then, the devil will become the king of this world.

So, the Bible says that the devil belongs to this world. It was not that God made him king to rule the world, but that he used temptation to steal the world that was originally given to Adam to rule. However, God is the supreme king at all times from eternity to eternity, and no one can take away God’s kingship. Since the devil has stolen the qualification to be the king of the world, he will never be just a paper tiger. He must have a certain degree of royal power.
