Why are so many people drawn to the spectacular, to the idea that the devil will act through some kind of high tech means or some manner of fantastical wizardry, or that he will come against the people of God in some dramatic fashion such as sending minions through "portals", the son of perdition via "spaceship" and other such bizarre nonsense when, in reality, the devil operates most effectively through means entirely unseen, through the banal and mundane, using tried-and-tested trickery, always walking in obscurity, always operating where nobody will be watching for him?
There may be more to write on this subject later but, for now, I wanted to make a simple point, to provide an important warning, regarding all the nonsense surrounding CERN and the delusional belief many now have about the operation of the CERN particle accelerator to create "interdimensional portals" through which aliens or demons will apparently come, and any of a number of other bizarre ideas around all this, including but not limited to dreams of supposed "encounters" with the Lord in which he apparently discussed, at great length, many strange ideas connected to CERN that many Christians have now been drawn into and often been deceived by. I will not go into the myriad logical falacies about some of those beliefs, nor into the complete lack of understanding people generally have about particle accelerators, nor any of a number of logical contradictions and technical impossibilities many have been deluded into believing are possible in the real world as a result of their failure to critically appraise wild claims made by too many voices on the Internet over the years. None of that is necessary and, in any case, you can do it for yourself. If you lack sufficient scientific knowledge then you need not concern yourself with those particular aspects but you can still see, based on claims made by some about so-called "prophetic dreams" of CERN purportedly (eventually) causing massive global catastrophes, that the so-called prophecies such people proclaim invariably fail the scriptural harmony test. Ultimately, if you research such claims that are already old enough and whose supposed prophecies have exceeded their "use-by" date, you will see that they fail the true prophecy test and, yet, so many continue to be decieved by the bizarre claims being made. Why is this so?
Perhaps you have encountered it or perhaps not but I have tracked it for about six or seven years now, although I am not quite sure how long. Losing track of time happens all too often in this mad-cap world. However, I will bluntly state that a lot of the current hoopla surrounding all this is a result of the strange, "demonic" pagan rituals that were conducted at CERN on at least one, if not various, occasions, and the lack of understanding people have about concepts such as the so-called "god particle" (the Higgs boson), operation of the accelerator, energies actually involved, etc. The strange rituals are intentional (on behalf of the devil, regardless of whether or not those perfoming them understood what they were actually doing and regardless of whether or not the rituals were intended to be real or mock rituals done as a bad joke), and serve as a means by which Christians will be (further) deceived into the completely baseless ideas about portals to other dimensions, time travel and so forth. Such bizarre activities have also occurred in other places in Europe and there is always someone, somewhere who manages to come up with a "satanic plan" explanation for them which, in this case, is about demons coming through interdimensional portals. Since when did demons need special high-tech portals to cause trouble for earthly sinners?
I came to realise that all the nonsense about CERN and interdimensional portals and all related madness is one GIANT RED HERRING, an intentional distraction specifically targeted at Christians in order to keep them panicked and focused on the wrong things while the workers of evil, the children of the devil operating from within the halls of power, go around behind their backs quietly setting up their demise and robbing them of food and energy security and, ultimately, of possessions, income and freedom, while simultaneously increasing the chaos in the world through fear and intimidation via bureaucratic, military and law-enforcement means. Christians are being distracted to look one way while, in the other direction, the devil robs them. It is an old thief's trick, always done with the help of one or more accomplices who provide the diversion while another robs the victim. Sometimes the accomplices, who act as the distraction or provide the diversion, are willing participants but it is more effective if they are not since, through their own deluded beliefs, they are much more convincing to the inadequately discerning.
It is wise to remember that the devil absolutely never shows the true hand he is playing. The devil never appears to us as the devil. Everything about him is a deception. He always comes as an angel of light. Something so obvious as the occult rituals being performed in the open, albeit intentionally somewhat obscured but never quite enough to completely hide them, is a sure-fire way to capture the attention of mostly undiscerning, conspiracy-minded Christians everywhere, thus making the association between the demonically-inspired occult rituals and performances and the setting in which they are performed. It has all the elements of a modern science fiction film; interdimensional portals ("stargates"), extra-dimensional beings (demons or aliens or even both), high power advanced technology systems, spooky science, mystery and intrigue and no shortage of supernatural, evil elements. It is a diversion and a trap!
This whole process of theft and chaos sets up the world at large to receive the son of perdition as a saviour and also sets up Christians who were not attentive to the real machinations of evil operating through governments, who are robbing us all of our food and energy security, in order to drive us to despair and force us to plead for their help. Worst of all, it takes the focus of Christians' minds off the Lord and directs it to that which is false, leading them into delusion. By this means, any of us are then easily deceived. Critically, maintaining focus on the Lord, His promises, His word, maintains the supremacy of His Spirit operating within us, being our counsellor, our guide, our help in times of need. Losing that focus causes us to err, in order to then be easily distracted and then pillaged and destroyed, physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually. The enemy is described in scripture as a roaring lion prowling around and seeking whom he may devour. That is accurate, but he does it in darkness, in complete obscurity, and never in the open, not even slightly.
Then, when the son of perdition comes, purporting to be the "saviour", I believe that one of the requirements he will demand in return for his seemingly "magical" efforts in bringing peace and stability is that we receive the "mark of the beast" (in whatever form that takes). For Christians who remained distracted by the deceptions going on, which appear to have caught the imaginations of many, they will suddenly find themselves in a seemingly hopeless position and either will completely turn in faith to God when they are at a complete loss or, under overwhelming pressure, relinquish their faith and deny Christ, receiving the mark, in order to have access to food and shelter once again. They will ultimately be sorely tested, as will you, to see who it is you turn to when in need, to see who it is that you truly trust more; the Ever Living God whom you cannot see with your natural eyes and who will not dangle a carrot before your face but in who's hand is your eternity, or the arm of flesh, Pharaoh, a mere man, whom you can see with your natural eyes, who has no say in your eternity and who will definitely dangle an appealing carrot in front of your face as he also does for every unbeliever, the carrot of food and shelter, the carrot of "peace and safety".
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Trust only God!

Addendum 2022-08-05.
I wanted to clarify my reference to "conspiracy-minded Christians." By this, I do not mean that any belief or recognition that a conspiracy exists is wrong but, rather, that it is not wise to simply believe everything is a conspiracy or even one giant conspiracy. If such a thing exists, as I have said in a much earlier post regarding the current state of the world, then it is headed up by the devil, himself, and those doing his bidding are, for the most part, ignorant (whether willfully or otherwise) of that fact. There are some conspiracies, to be sure, and the globalists involved generally belong to particular groups and those groups are each vying for world domination so that they often clash with each other but where the actions of one benefits others then it creates the appearance of some form of alliance, yet it is only appearance and is easily misconstrued as a humanly organised, global plot. There are also many situations where there simply is no (humanly organised) conspiracy at all but the evils being perpetrated are the result of anti-Christian thinking, evil ideologies, selfishness and, more often than not, pure greed and lust for power. All of these things ultimately aid in the devil's anti-Christian stratagems but God knows how to turn each to His advantage so do not fear. The real problem with "conspiracy awareness" thinking arises when one begins to see almost (if not) everything as somehow the result of intentional conspiratorial activity. As the Lord clearly states in Isaiah...
Isa 8:12-13 ESV Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. (13) But the LORD of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
I chose the English Standard Version for this because it appears to most clearly convey what is being said without all of that "ye olde" language. There is some very sage advice in those two verses. You can take it to heart if you let your heart be God's dwelling.
