Hey, I don't know if this helps, but as I have understood from the Bible is that Satan rules the earth. His followers are the leaders, the movers and the shakers, and if you don't agree with the world view, you are pretty much isolated and get tormented.

And, the last time God came to earth, He was crucified by them! All I know is He stood up from the dead again, and this is the hope I hold on to too, that one day, the same will happen to me, after all the other horrible, money-loving and iron-fist ruling people are gone. But, for some reason, we can't die yet. Maybe it is to gather intelligence that seems pretty useless at first, but that will serve well in a future where money, governments, etc. will be useless concepts. Only those who have suffered now will know what to do, and might even dominate these other people who made the world so horrible right now. Personally though, I'd be glad if they weren't even there in the next life, I don't even want to see them again. They had their fun, they don't deserve a second round.
