I do agree that the thorn is plainly stated to be a “messenger of Satan”. And while men contributed to opposing Paul, the real problem was the powers behind these men. The principalities and powers in the heavenly realms that Paul talks about. Evil men are but the useful idiots who most likely are unknowingly being used by the spiritual forces of darkness.
Interesting thought. I’ve heard all sorts of theories bout the “thorn” but I don’t think we can ever know for sure.
