Why is the World so Divided? One major topic that is recognized and talked about worldwide is how the world is so divided right now. Have you wondered why this is happening? God, in His Word, the Bible, declares that at the end, during Judgment Day, Satan's Kingdom (the world) would be divided. We are now seeing this before our eyes. God is causing the inhabitants of the world to fight against each other, as part of the judgment on this world.
