There is an entity behind all world events. God! Our Heavenly Father!

God sovereignly ordains all that has and all that will come to pass. He is in Charge of His Creation. Evil entities that might exist, exist on a leash and cannot get away with anything God has not ordained for His purposes.

All people and institutions are nothing, but, the clay in the hands of the Potter. He gets to ultimately decide what will happen with His Clay. We do not live in a random universe and chance or coincidence does not truly exist. 

God for ordains all that has and will come to pass while at the same time allowing for free agency. Yet, even free agency is not free from God's Decree and Sovereign Rule. He does not coerce or force people to desire certain things nor is He the author of sin or evil. 

Both things come from within the creature (even supernatural evil only works because of the fallen human nature) and are not forced or pushed into the creature by God. However, He did ordain and decree that Evil exist for His own purposes. Yet, He did not take part nor never can due to his nature in Evil or sin. Yet, He can and does use it within His Eternal Decree. 

Some Christians have forgotten that God is Sovereign over all things. That he Decreed all that would and will happen from Eternity Past. They get so wrapped into the evil that is around them and how very evil it is forgetting God Is the One In Charge from Heaven and not any other entities. 

The way this Creation works according to Biblical exegetics is wonderfully worded as follows in The Westminster Confession of Faith;


• God from all eternity did by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so as thereby neither is God the author of sin; nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures, nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established.


• God, the great Creator of all things, doth uphold, direct dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge, and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy. 


• Although in relation to the foreknowledge and decree of God, the first cause, all things come to pass immutably and infallibly, yet, by the same providence, He ordereth them to fall out according to the nature of second causes, either necessarily, freely, or contingently.


• God, in His ordinary providence, maketh use of means, yet is free to work without, above, and against them, at His pleasure. 


• The almighty power, unsearchable wisdom, and infinite goodness of God, so far manifest themselves in His providence, that it extendeth itself even to the first fall, and all other sins of angels and men, and that not by a bare permission, but such as hath joined with it a most wise and powerful bounding, and otherwise ordering and governing of them, in a manifold dispensation, to His own holy ends; yet so, as the sinfulness thereof proceedeth only from the creature, and not from God; who being most holy and righteous, neither is nor can be the author or approver of sin.


This means no matter what or how evil things in our World are or are getting or have been since the Fall of Adam God is still in Control of all things in Heaven and on Earth. Often God will use others evil for his own Godly ends. AKA Joseph and his brothers. 

It is very possible the reason God has used some of things that have been going on lately and in the near future is as a judgment and punishments against the reprobate. As well as discipline for His Children a chiding for some purpose. Or it could be anything really, but, we know it is all in His Hands as the old song says. "He's got the whole world in His Hands."
