1 John 5:19 We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.
The Devil is clearly influencing this world. He is the God of this present system. The verse in Ezekiel you refer to is a future event when God will maneuver and direct Satan into the final war of Armageddon. In the meantime Satan has control over the political and religious institutions. But not for much longer.
