Exodus 7:9-12 I have made thee a god

MOSES, AARON BEFORE THE PHARAOH. THE ROD BECOMES A SNAKE

'And the LORD said unto Moses, See I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet... When pharaoh shall speak unto you saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and... Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also, called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians in Egypt, they did also in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.'

Just as their have been great white magicians such as Moses and Jesus there have also been powerful black magicians who have tried to interfere with the Divine Plan for a very long time on this earth. Eventually, unless they turn from the darkness to the Light, their power will be taken from them and they will have to go through 'the Second Death' (Revelations 2:11) As I understand it this refers to the total destruction of a person's personality causing them to not only re-embody, or reincarnate, but in fact have to start their human embodiments all over again.
