Many say God is the ruler of this world, just for conversation let’s say the Devil is the ruler. What condition you think… it would be in?

What condition would be in? Why do you think there are so many bad things happening in the world? And it is going to get worst.
The night before his death, Jesus three times warned his disciples about this god, calling him “the ruler of this world.”
Who is this god, and what is the world over which he is the ruler?
He is the rebel angel, Satan the Devil.
How do we know this? When Satan tempted Jesus, Satan showed him “all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him: ‘All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.’” (Matthew 4:8, 9)
This offer would not have been a temptation at all if Satan had been offering Jesus what Satan did not possess.
the apostle John declared: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.”
Satan is the “god” there referred to is clearly indicated later in verse 4 where it says that this god “has blinded the minds of the unbelievers.”
At Revelation 12:9 he is said to be “misleading the entire inhabited earth.”
Satan’s control over the present system of things, including its governments, was indicated when he offered Jesus “all the kingdoms of the world” in exchange for “an act of worship.”

Looking around we clearly see an evil, disorganized and chaotic world. It reflects is ruler. 1 John 5:19.
God is a person of peace, justice, wisdom and love. The earth is certainly his, but he is not ruling the world, this system, right now.
But soon he will. Matt 6:10;Dan 2:44; Ps 37:9-11,29.

The condition it is in right now! All we have to do is check out cnn.com to find evidence behind this.
However, to name a few general statistics:
Since 1914, war has constantly plagued mankind. Just 21 years after World War I ended, a second world war broke out, killing far more people. One estimate says that World War II cost some 60 million lives. Since 1945, wars have been more localized but just as brutal. Some historians estimate that well over a hundred million people lost their lives in wars during the 20th century.
During the first world war, an Allied blockade caused some 750,000 deaths in Germany as a result of hunger. Over two million Russians starved to death in 1921, and similar tragedies soon unfolded elsewhere. In all, an estimated 70 million people died of famine during the 20th century. Every year, poor nutrition still contributes to the death of over three million children under the age of five.
The first great 20th-century plague was the Spanish flu. Figures vary widely, but one estimate says that the flu killed some 50 million people. “This pandemic was one of the worst disasters in history,” notes the book Man and Microbes. “Even bubonic plague did not kill so many people so fast.” Smallpox, malaria, and tuberculosis are other infectious diseases that caused hundreds of millions of deaths during the 20th century.

Same, because it does say Satan is the ruler of the world
John 14:
29 So now I have told you before it occurs, so that you may believe when it does occur.+ 30 I will not speak with you much more, for the ruler of the world+ is coming, and he has no hold on me.*+ 31 But for the world to know that I love the Father, I am doing just as the Father has commanded me to do.+ Get up, let us go from here.
John 12:31
31 Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world+ will be cast out.+
John 16:11
11 then concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.+
1 John 5:
18 We know that everyone who has been born from God does not practice sin, but the one born from God* watches him, and the wicked one cannot take hold of him.*+ 19 We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.+ 20 But we know that the Son of God has come,+ and he has given us insight* so that we may gain the knowledge of the one who is true. And we are in union with the one who is true,+ by means of his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and life everlasting.+ 21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.+
Is Jesus God or not? Or did his father send his only begotten son his firstborn of all creation
John 17:20, 21
20 “I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word, 21 so that they may all be one,+ just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you,+ that they also may be in union with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.

2 Corinthians 4:4
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
The Earth is God's. The world is Satan's
