In a prior post, I noted a relatively benign and minor censorship, or seeming censorship, of a Rashbam about mixing the anointing oil. Let us more on to something with greater disparity.
את האורים ואת התומים - כעין השבעות של שמות בדבר הקב"ה שהיה נותן בהחשן להגיד משפטן וצרכיהם. אם האומות מגידים להם תרפים וקסמים שלהם ברוח טומאה, להבדיל כמה הבדלות בין טומאה לטהרה, ק"ו לקדושה שמגדת.
Whether it did or whether it didn’t speak, there exists, it seems continually, a force of deception—whether as in Gan Eden within the serpent, or as is acknowledged in Shacharis “a spiritual force of destruction”.
I read recently that this enables humanity’s free choice.
Also, you may remember Eliyahu HaNavi when he complained to HaShem “ohhh, they have killed Your prophets and I, even I am the only one left!” But HaShem said back to him, “I have reserved for Myself 400?(I think) prophets who have Not bowed the knee to Baal.” So there is a remnant in Israel—G-D only knows who they are.

Ooh! I like this! Thank you very much for this information! Wow! It definitely is helpful for increasing understanding and Emunah.
