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. |
