The Story of Redemption
up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have
seen Him go into heaven.”
Acts 1:11
. The disciples and the mother
of Jesus, who with them had witnessed the ascension of the Son of
God, spent the following night in talking over His wonderful acts
and the strange and glorious events which had taken place within a
short time.
The Wrath of Satan
Satan again counseled with his angels, and with bitter hatred
against God’s government told them that while he retained his power
and authority upon earth their efforts must be tenfold stronger against
the followers of Jesus. They had prevailed nothing against Christ but
must overthrow His followers, if possible. In every generation they
must seek to ensnare those who would believe in Jesus. He related
to his angels that Jesus had given His disciples power to rebuke them
and cast them out, and to heal those whom they should afflict. Then
Satan’s angels went forth like roaring lions, seeking to destroy the
followers of Jesus.
