Did the Pagh Wraiths actually Win!

I was thinking about something and I don't think we ever saw any Prophets in season 7 other than Sisko's mom but we did she the Pagh Wraiths and I would argue that it's possible that Sisko's mom was also a Pagh Wraith. What if when we saw all those Pagh Wraiths being forced out of the wormhole in the season 7 2 part opener it was actually the Prophets that were being expelled. It's even possible the Benny Russell moment was the Prophets trying to stop him from allowing the Pagh Wraths to win.
Back to Sisko's mom. One thing that makes me think she could be a Pagh Wraith is the very fact of taking over a human woman's body is similar to what happened to Keiko but using her to have a child does sound like rape. I know the Prophets did talk about Sisko being of Bajor and being the Emissary was important to them but the Pagh Wraiths could also know this about him and use it to manipulate Sisko into helping them by finding he missing Orb which would help them. I know it looks like they are working against this idea by helping Dukat but they in turn could just be using him as well to get them what they want and that is not only the death of Sisko but his capture as well. For all we know the show ends with Sisko trapped in Hell. The SIsko we see who shows up to say goodbye could be him brainwashed like what happen to Zek, since I figure the Pagh Wraiths would have the same ability the Prophets did to do that or simply a Pagh Wraith in disguise.

I didn't get the feeling that Sisko's mom "took over" a human female. I thought she appeared, had a relationship with Joseph Sisko and disappeared again.
Whoa. Just had a flash about the name Joseph...
 
No, Sarah (Ben's mother) was indeed "inhabited" by a Prophet. After it left her, she left Joseph, because the Prophet is the one who got them together so Ben could be born.

Missed that--thanks.
But that doesn't mean the joining was necessarily against the human's, as it was with the pagh wraith and Keiko.

That is possible but she did leave Sisko's dad afterwards which means I doubt it. Plus I just have a hard time seeing anyone willing to give their body over to another enity so freely. You don't even have the "Supernatural" idea were you might see humans allow angels to take over their bodies because I imagine they are realigous people.

Then that would make Sisko the antichrist. What if it's true!:eek:
Maybe but I imagine it would be against his free will. He does say he will return one day and maybe he does but with lots of Pagh Wraith brainwashing included.
