II Corinthians 11:14

Who does that refer to, just wondering. Is that a prophecy ?

That's an interesting question. I hope that I can shed some light (no pun intended) on it for you.
Satan or Lucifer was originally the highest Arc angel in heaven, he guarded the throne of God and God's light shone through him, hence he is known as an angel of light.
Myth would have us believe that the devil is the horned pitch fork wielding figure we usually think of, but the bible indicates in Ezekial chapter 28:13-16 that Lucifer is beautiful in appearance, and even has the ability to produce music from his body, remember he's an angel albeit a fallen one .
So in II Corinthians 11:13-15 the apostle Paul is talking about false teachers, who act like true believers in Christ, Satan/Lucifer is a deciever who looks like the real thing but in fact he is wicked, so it's not a big surprise that his messengers are like him.
