Doesn't work. Whip's effect takes precedent over Obzedat's

It's does as both abilities activate at the same time you choose stack order!  if you put the {whip of Erebos}ability on the stack first, then put {Obzedat, ghost council}'s second ability on the stack on top!  The  {Obzedat, ghost council} exiles itself, the whip tries to excite it but it is already exiled so the whip does nothing! And in your next upkeep  {Obzedat, ghost council} comes back as it exiled itself!

Desecration Demon will trigger again with the new combat phase, making them sac 2 a turn, or take 6+ then sac a creature, or take 12

Well, if you've attacked with the demon, they either sac and tap it and give it a counter or let it attack. Either way, it would still be tapped during the 2nd combat since Aurelia doesn't untap things after the first combat.
So this really only works if you have sone other way of untapping the demon

I guess so, but I wish it didn't!  {Ætherling} is evil, and not in a good way!

It only says for the first combat though.

Because tapping happens after attackers are declared (meaning after Aurelia untaps them), does that not mean that once the attack is checked as legal, all attacking creatures during the first combat will be tapped during the second combat?

Or is Aurelia worded where the the untapping occurs after the tap-from-attacking part?

{Aureliathe Warleader} says "untap each creature you control, then take an additional combat phase". Every creature, no matter how they were tapped, untap
