Oppression is exercised by those individuals that are receptive to demonic influence (demonic expressions) and who are willing to manipulate a nation's will against the Will of the Lifegiver, Almighty God. It is a deliberate demonstration of their rejection of the spirit creative laws of God that lead to the perfecting of one's spirit for immortal heavenly life (the purpose of God). (Gal 6:15,16).

POLITICAL PROMOTIONS (INDUCEMENTS).
Faithful servants of God refuse to be enslaved by demonic influence. (Rev 13:16-18). But within the ranks of political aides of the "wild beast" are contrived various incentive schemes and agencies to administer and enforce its purpose: "Driving [others] to work" at unGodly preoccupations. This is so that the people are "veiled" from coming to know their Creator and the reason why He has given them a spirit in a physical body. (1 Cor 15:44). One's body is intended to assist in the creation of one's spirit, that one may be progressively sanctified to the spirit "image and likeness" of Almighty God and His first spirit created (perfected) Son The Christ. (Gen 1:26. 1 Cor 15:49).

Through the offer of monetary incentives (bribes), flattery, and the promise of political favour, promoters of the political "wild beast" try to gain the approval and admiration of the common people, lifting themselves above every object of men's worship. But by receiving glory belonging solely to God, such ones are "publicly showing (themselves) to be a god." (2 Thess 2:4).

These things were prophesied in great detail long before their fulfilment; that demons would be sent down to the vicinity of the earth (Rev 12:7-12), that admiration of the "wild beast" (demoncracies) would leave people without the beneficial restraints of the spirit law of God, and that many would lose their opportunity to everlasting spirit life because of their rebellious demon‑inspired activities. (Rev 13:4,8).
