devil, is not void of wisdom or strength. He goeth about like a
roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He will work “with all
power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of
[173]
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the
love of the truth, that they might be saved.” Because they rejected
the truth, “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the
truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” We have a powerful,
deceptive foe with whom to contend, and our only safety is in Him
who is to come, who will consume this archdeceiver with the spirit
of His mouth, and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
I commend this to you in the fear of God, and implore you to
arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you life.
