   Satan has current domain over the world system. Not over believers individually, but over the world stage as a whole.

      You got it!  The answer is found in 1 John 5:19.

   When Jesus is being tested.  Satan tries to offer it to him, claiming that it has been handed to him and he can offer it Jesus.  But Jesus Christ is too wise for him replying "It is pointless to inherit the earth then die the next day!"
   Do I go to the top of the class?

      I love that you made this point. In Matthew 4:8-11, Jesus tells Satan that we should worship God alone, instead of saying 'the kingdoms are not yours to give'. Leading one to believe that the kingdoms are Satan's to give.
      Thanks for your comment!

   When Christ died on the Cross, Satan was defeated.  Jesus now have the key to hell and heaven.  Satan is trying to control us by using us against ourselves. 
   
   If  I am not mistaken, we will rule over angels in heaven. 
   
   I think now Satan is temporary ruling the world but soon will be defeated by our faith.

      Can you share some scriptures to coincide with your statements, please? I run a bible student's blog and want to be sure of the facts and where to find them.

      you are right, 1 John 5:19 say 'We know that we are from God and that the whole world lies under the control of the evil one.'

   1 John 5:19- "We know we originate with GOD, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one". 
        Yes I do agree with the statement that Satan the Devil rules the world... For the moment anyway. People can try as hard as they want to change the world themselves, but imperfection and lack of any power over sin and death cannot be corrected by anyone except the Almighty GOD. He does Promise to do so though.- Revelation 21:3,4
