Correct, my wording is lacking some but my meaning is as you say the world has never been out of his control, from creation until now. The plan of God is always in action.
Excellent. I agree that "things" do not look real good right now, but they probably look a lot better than they did in Noah's day when only 8 people were saved from the wrath of God.
It seems to me that things are being prepared for the way of the Lord Jesus to come again. But then that is just me.


. God has never wanted to instigate rules and regulations. This implies control / dictatorship. In heaven the greatest is the least. So the idea of dictatorship is in 100% contrast to our God's nature.
