DECEIT has been used throughout the ages to MISLEAD, to CONCEAL one's actions, to CHEAT, to TRICK, or sometimes to give a FALSE IMPRESSION.
DECEPTION is accomplished by someone acting in one way, but having another purpose in mind.
Although the act of DECEPTION is generally viewed in a bad sense, it was also used at times to accomplish God's purpose in protecting His people or in destroying their enemies.
In 2 Corinthians 6:8, the apostle Paul tells us that at times believers may use deception in a good sense: "as deceivers and yet true".
Let’s look at some of these GREAT DECEIVERS in the Word of God to find out WHO they were; WHAT they did to deceive; WHEN their action took place; WHERE it occurred; and WHY they used deception.
