The Devil called the God of this World.
2 Cor. 4.4. In whom the God of this World hath blinded the Minds of them which believe not.
THE Devil here is called a God; not that he is a God, either by Nature, or hath this name conferred upon him by the Almighty, in respect of his Office, but rather he is called so in respect of wicked Men, who serve and obey him as their God, and in whom he rules and works effectually, as in his own People and Subjects.
Properly there is but one God: tho there are many who are called Gods, yet they are not Gods by Nature; I am God and none else. Unto us there is but one God: one eternal, immense,1 infinite, and incomprehensible Majesty. And this God is either considered Essentially, God is a Spirit, Joh. 4.24. or else Personally, viz. the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; There are three that bear Witness in Heaven, &c. and these three are one.
