Full deception gives the deceiver full control?

[GoldenKingGaze]

I am persuaded to think, deception gives the deceiver full control of the deceived.
I saw a documentary about a man in Idaho who claimed to be Michael the Archangel. His son and daughter in law and a number of others believed him. And supposing to take them away from corruption and prepare for the end, he took them to a secluded ranch in Idaho. They went hungry but persisted. In the course of events, as from the interview, as Michael, he consummated his sons marriage to his wife himself. His son went through it and his wife seemed contented. This demonstrates the power a false belief and the manipulation of it.

Lucifer or Heylel invented deception and it seems to be the first and powerful component in controlling other beings. Part of the real kind of witchcraft. If he could control God, he could supplant Him and obtain all His power, or so the plan may have then been.

Another example is the release of Satan after the thousand years. The righteous nations, are deceived, and then he controls them to go to war with eachother. Tremendous power!

No different than what the WEF is doing today globally, proclaiming itself the economic, technological and environmental saviour of the world. No different than what smaller institutions have done in the past. It ranges from an individual deceiver to a global network. It is the way of man as it is the way of the Adversary. This is the first time however where it has become global and without nationalistic foes.

Things happen so deceivers get found out.
But there can be cases where they get full control of certain people.
And what they lose is not worth what they get.

"'He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.'" (John 12:25)

"God resists the proud" > in James 4:6 and also in 1 Peter 5:5.

So, yes it can seem now like we have certain political actors deceiving so they can control and take from us; but we have how God Himself is effectively resisting whoever He knows is really wrong.

And ones can make it seem like we aren't important enough to get what is good done. But with God we can pray and He will bring His results.

Yes and recently there is the example of fake news and the war in Iraq.
