“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
This is the kernel of it all. The traits exhibited by Obabel and his lovers are the same traits Satan has exhibited. Lies, subterfuge, evil motives, destruction - the desire to be God. We’ve seen them all before and they are in Isaiah 14:14 “O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
Satan is a God wannabe and Obabel wants his government to play God. And he uses the same methods the serpent used when that traveling salesman slithered into The Garden.
