I just happened to read this in The Unseen Realm by Michael Heiser, which shows that my earlier question was not so strange: 😅

> Similar passages that many Bible readers presume are clear in this regard are actually not. For example, 2 Corinthians 4:4 refers to “the god of this age” who has blinded humanity. Nearly all scholars identify this figure as Satan, but the name doesn’t occur in the verse or the context. Additionally, the phrase “god of this age” may refer to God himself. It is possible that the verse draws on Isaiah 6:9–10 (Septuagint), where it is God who has blinded the eyes of those who don’t believe.
