The adversary leaves a particular stink around everything he touches, a smell of corruption, not in the olfactory sense, but in the way that those under his influence behave.
Death is always the outcome of satanic influence, wholesale death where people are needlessly and heedlessly murdered.
The major weapon is deceit, and especially deceit which is based largely on truth. For example "if you eat of the tree (of knowledge of good and evil) you will be as gods (elohim)". This was said to the woman in Eden, and although what was said was totally true, it is confirmed later by YHWH, it was only part of the truth, for what the adversary left unsaid was that the woman's godship would be based on physical godship not spiritual Godship. So the woman thought she was going to be as YHWH, what she actually got was a lesser state than the one she had started with.
Palestine, as a nation, does not exist, and has never existed except as a deceit. In 1966 Gaza was occupied by Egypt, and Judea and Samaria (renamed by Jordan as "West Bank") was occupied by Jordan. In 1967, overnight, those who had been Jordanians or Egyptians became 'Palestinians'. The imperative here was to create an underdog to thus capture the sympathies of the liberal 'West'.
Israel was and is outnumbered 40 to 1 by its enemies and IS the underdog, in creating 'Palestine' the enemy forces moved the moral 'high ground' away from Israel, and, with some superb but deceitful propaganda has succeeded in turning the victim into 'the oppressor'.
Islam, in the house of war, believes that 'the end justifies the means'. This is also the mantra of the Liberal Left whose deceits have got one of their own into the White House. Americans would do well to look at what happened in Chile when Salvadore Allende won the presidency there in 1970, elected as a member of the ‘moderate’ Socialist Party, he adopted the policy of nationalization of industries and collectivisation, which policy resulted in expropriation of lands and a lot of people died.
Backing the idea of the ends justifying the means, is a series of circular arguments, where, for example, because the ‘working classes’ are oppressed by the middle and upper classes, they need to be lead to revolutionary freedom, however since only the middle and upper classes are well educated enough to do this, the revolution will be lead by middle and upper class radicals, who will subsequently rule instead of the current middle and upper class rulers. So we have Lenin: university educated son of a minor nobleman, Trotsky: well educated son of a well- to-do Jewish farmer, Allende: son of an upper class Chilean family, and so the list goes on.
Satan has had two major coups in modern history, the first being fundamentalist Christianity, the second being secular humanism based upon the theory of evolution (Islam in the form of Baal worship has been with us from ancient times). Current theory of evolution is held together only by ignorance and propaganda, and the fact that anyone exposing the ‘emperor’s new clothes’ loses their job very quickly.
“even to the deceiving of the very elect” must allude to the huge deceit that has millions of Christians believing that it is they, the ‘church’, and not the called out assembly (of Yehudim), who are ‘saved’ and who will be ‘raptured’ before the tribulation.
Satan has 101 neat little deceits built into Christianity (and orthodox Judaism) where the eyes are tricked into ‘reading’ truth and ‘understanding’ lies.
Indeed the woman’s ‘eyes’ were opened, but they now only saw the physical plane with all its contradictions, they no longer saw the spiritual truth of YHWH.
