You are welcome to write here what you personally get from this article; and then I might be glad to comment on what you yourself have to say.
In general, I understand that Satan has been under the control of God so he does only what God gives him permission to do. And Satan is a liar and the father of it; so, yes, of course Satan and his people have conspiracies going on, all the time.
However, Satan's people conspiring can never get full and real control, since >
"God resists the proud" > in James 4:6 and in 1 Peter 5:5.
Whatever anyone, then, in Satan's kingdom does can only go so far; and then it's somebody else's turn to try things.
One interesting conspiracy is the effort to get everyone's attention on the COVID thing, so our attention is away from God. By getting people upset about the COVID stuff and getting them to fight and accuse each other, this helps to keep them weak so Satan can emotionally control people.
In Isaiah 14:12 Satan is called >
"You who weakened the nations!" (in Isaiah 14:12)
A basic of how Satan's kingdom works is simply to keep nations weak so he can control them.
And, in my opinion, part of his trickery for keeping people weak is to keep people busy with trying to keep track of all the good and evil in this world so we can try to control evil people and get things we want for our own selves, including our own "rights" which we can use to get what we want. And our depending on ourselves can surely keep us away from depending on God and how He is able. So, if ones get you to be tied up with worrying about your own self and your "rights", this can keep you weak so Satanic emotions can tie you up and take you down.
And so, part of Satan's strategy is to keep people's attention tied up with COVID, plus there are other conspiracies for attention, by means of which people's attention is tricked away from first trusting and enjoying and depending on God. And we see how emotionally weak and distracted and wasted people become because they are not first attentive and submissive to our Father in His peace.
But with God we can make His good use of any of Satan's conspiracy activities. Yes, there are plenty to choose from, and make good use of. There was the conspiracy to put Jesus on the cross, and we see how God has used that. He still does the same, with everything.
During COVID there are people who have gotten better jobs and better love relating, by making good use of what is going on.
But when the COVID thing came, it looks like many people were not ready to submit to God so they could find out how to use a trouble for His good. Before the COVID came, already there were conspiracies to get them away from learning to live with God; and so they had already been prepared to not do well when COVID came! But ones already were well-trained to blame, instead of seeing how they could be their own real problem.
And perhaps we have heard that God will not solve a problem until first we submit to Him and obey how He wants to take care of us. He will have us in a problem until we get things straight with Him . . . answering to Him, not only trying to make this world's foolish people answer to us and do what we want.
For some time, there has been a very clever and sleazy conspiracy to train people to let their wellbeing and "rights" depend on their controlling what worldly and foolish people do! And this real conspiracy has prepared them to not do well, now.
But now with God . . . He keeps giving us all He has for us, now, and bringing us to more and better . . . as He changes our character so we are able to so share with Him and use things for His good. This is a basic of God's word, I would say. But is this where ones are guiding our attention?
