If you read the Bible, he's going to do it one more time in a huge way at the end of this present age. In fact, it says that even men and women of God, who are not strong in the faith, might be caught up in this deception.

For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

There have been literally thousands of false christs and false prophets, but none of them have shown great signs and wonders yet.

And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

They will literally make an image to this powerful entity who will call himself God and worship it and not in secret like they do in the Bohemian Grove, but in full view of the whole world on TV.
