Thoughts about God - "Successful Deceit"

Daniel 8 is part of a description of one vision that shows what happens over time to the people of God and how the world systems come to an end. I have been drawn to these scriptures as I have learned more and more of what is being planned for humanity. Most of what is being planned does not make sense. There are so many things that we can do that will be helpful to humanity and then there are the things that are being done that degrade humanity. The more you look at what is going on you come to the conclusion that this is really a battle between good an evil. There are people in power who are making decisions and putting systems in place that support a demonic agenda. And then there are the people of God who continue to lift up the name and power of Jesus, and they are considered the enemy. It is not about individual differences and personal preferences and personality. The battle of the last days is not about Republican, Democrat, White power or Black power. It is purely a battle between Satanic influence (lies, deception, bloodshed, misery, domination of others) and Godly influence
