“Mysterious Rapping”
75
pointed back to the time of Moses and saw the signs and wonders
[60]
which God wrought through him before Pharaoh, most of which
were imitated by the magicians of Egypt; and that just before the
final deliverance of the saints, God would work powerfully for His
people, and these modern magicians would be permitted to imitate
the work of God.
That time will soon come, and we shall have to keep hold of the
strong arm of Jehovah; for all these great signs and mighty wonders
of the devil are designed to deceive God’s people and overthrow
them. Our minds must be stayed upon God, and we must not fear the
fear of the wicked, that is, fear what they fear, and reverence what
they reverence, but be bold and valiant for the truth. Could our eyes
be opened, we should see forms of evil angels around us, trying to
invent some new way to annoy and destroy us. And we should also
see angels of God guarding us from their power; for God’s watchful
eye is ever over Israel for good, and He will protect and save His
people, if they put their trust in Him. When the enemy shall come in
like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
Said the angel, “Remember, thou art on the enchanted ground.”
I saw that we must watch and have on the whole armor and take the
shield of faith, and then we shall be able to stand, and the fiery darts
of the wicked cannot harm us.
