[Manna - July 13]
Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness. 2 Corinthians 11:14,15
IF it be asked, How could Satan be interested in
doing a good work? we answer, the adversary thus
assumes the garment of an angel of light and mercy,
not to lead to the Light of the World—not to lead to
the cross of Christ—not to lead to the Bible—but to
lead away from these, to another hope of salvation,
and to another teacher, to deceive, if it were possible,
the very elect.
And be it remembered that our Lord's
words indicate that when matters come to this condition,
where Satan will cast out Satan and heal disease,
it is a marked evidence that his throne is tottering to
its fall—that, so to speak, this is the last extremity of
the adversary's efforts to deceive. Z.'99-62 R2669:6
