Well for a start they may not be called the "Illuminati" that may have been a name they used at a certain time, i believe they probably have used many names down through the centuries. I don't know what level of the pyramid of deception the illuminati occupied or occupies. If they do exists they might not be the Second top level of the pyramid.
Satan is the top capstone of the pyramid of deception. And all in that pyramid serve him, even if they do not know it. satan is setting up the world for deception and the defeat of mankind, including everyone in that pyramid. Actually He is more than willing to destroy those who serve him to deceive those who do not.
In the end times i believe that the Anti-christ will decieve the world into thinking he is a savior of the world, the anti-christ will deceive the world into thinking he is the returned Messiah Jesus, That’s why they will worship him in Jerusalem as God. He will deceive the jews and get many of them to kneel down and worship him, the ultimate victory over the descendants of Abraham get them to openly worship satan as God.
The pyramid of deception (as i call it) has control of world affairs and uses that control to start wars, initiate economic collapse, and spread terror and psychological warfare to work the people and the world into fear and desperation so that when the times comes they will be only too willing to embrace the anti-christ as the Messiah. By provoking and controlling chaos they rule a divided world and prevent mankind from having any peace on earth.
satan is like a jihadiest suicide bomber, he is going down, he has no future, his only motivation now is to see how many humans he can bring down with him. Unfortunately in this world he does not have much trouble in finding people who will serve him willingly, like you nietzschefan.
All Praise The Ancient Of Days
