Look out that no one takes you captive by means of the philosophy and empty deception according to human tradition.—Col. 2:8.

 

Satan wants to turn us against Jehovah. To achieve his goal, he tries to influence our thinking, in effect, to bring our mind into captivity and make it obedient to him. He tries to persuade or to deceive us into following him by appealing to our desires. (Col. 2:4) Are we really in serious danger of being misled by Satan? Yes, we are! Remember, Paul did not write the warning recorded at Colossians 2:8 to unbelievers. He wrote it to Christians who had been anointed with holy spirit. (Col. 1:2, 5) Those Christians were in danger back then, and we are in even greater danger today. (1 Cor. 10:12) Why? Satan has been confined to the vicinity of the earth, and he is focused on misleading God’s loyal servants. (Rev. 12:9, 12, 17) In addition, we are living during a time when wicked men and impostors are advancing “from bad to worse.”—2 Tim. 3:1, 13. w19.06 2 ¶1-2

When we look at the Israelites after they entered the promised land , with all they had seen of Jehovahs help and protection you would imagine that Satan had no chance but he kept enticing them with various methods and they kept falling in to the trap.

Misleading us is his main focus , its his only real concern as he has limited time left to do this .

 To Satan  everything is just a game. The world and our lives don't matter to him.  He is going all out because he has nothing left to lose. and yet he is tricking people into the same hope that he has. No hope! It's empty like trying to use real @100 bills of monopoly money to buy his version of happiness but his version of happiness doesn't include anyone but himself.

I think the problem is that some people dont use the rear view mirror when driving.
