Answer 2

This is the current and last age in which humans must
struggle to stay alive, when the world is full of pain,
discontent and vice....This is among others comparable

Times.

Hesiod wrote about Iron age:

Zeus placed a fifth race of men on earth during the
present, Iron Age. All manner of evils came into being
during this age. Piety and other virtues disappeared...

For now truly is a race of iron, and men never rest
from labour and sorrow by day, and from perishing by
night; and the gods shall lay sore trouble upon them.
But, notwithstanding, even these shall have some good
mingled with their evils...

The father will not agree with his children, nor the
children with their father, nor guest with his host,
nor comrade with comrade; nor will brother be dear to
brother as aforetime. Men will dishonour their parents
as they grow quickly old, and will carp at them,
chiding them with bitter words, hard-hearted they, not
knowing the fear of the gods. They will not repay their
aged parents the cost their nurture, for might shall be
their right: and one man will sack another's city.
There will be no favour for the man who keeps his oath
or for the just or for the good; but rather men will
praise the evil-doer and his violent dealing. Strength
will be right and reverence will cease to be; and the
wicked will hurt the worthy man, speaking false words
against him, and will swear an oath upon them...

Answer 3

Both human imperfection and satanic influence are the cause of the evil seen and suffered in the world.

The Scriptures explain that evil desires arise because humanity has a fundamental flaw—inherent imperfection. (Romans 5:12) Because of inherited sin, selfishness may well overrule kindness in our thinking, and cruelty may override compassion.

But human imperfection alone does not explain the orchestrated evil seen in our day. Historian Jeffrey Burton Russell observed: “It is true that there is evil in each of us, but adding together even large numbers of individual evils does not explain an Auschwitz . . . Evil on this scale seems to be qualitatively as well as quantitatively different.” It was none other than Jesus Christ who pinpointed this qualitatively different source of evil.
Not long before his death, Jesus explained that the men who were planning to kill him were not acting entirely of their own volition. An unseen force guided them. Jesus told them: “You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth.” (John 8:44) The Devil, whom Jesus called “the ruler of this world,” clearly has a prominent role in fomenting evil.—John 16:11; 1 John 5:19.
