(John 12:31; 16:11) Toward the end of the first century C.E., the apostle John wrote: “We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19) This does not mean that Jehovah has relinquished his sovereignty over the earth.
( Yohana 12:31; 16:11 ) Kuelekea mwisho wa karne ya kwanza W.K., mtume Yohana aliandika hivi: “Tunajua kwamba sisi tunatoka kwa Mungu, lakini ulimwengu mzima unakaa katika nguvu za yule mwovu.” ( 1 Yoh. 5:19 ) Hilo halimaanishi kwamba Yehova ameacha enzi yake kuu juu ya dunia.
