Satan’s Last Day Deceptions
113
The Bible will never be superseded by miraculous manifestations.
The truth must be studied, it must be searched for as hidden trea-
sure. Wonderful illuminations will not be given aside from the Word
or to take the place of it. Cling to the Word, receive the engrafted
Word which will make men wise unto salvation.—

The last great delusion is soon to open before us. Antichrist is
to perform his marvelous works in our sight. So closely will the
counterfeit resemble the true that it will be impossible to distinguish
between them except by the Holy Scriptures. By their testimony every
statement and every miracle must be tested.—

The Deception Is Almost Universal
There is now need of earnest, working men and women who will
seek for the salvation of souls, for Satan as a powerful general has
taken the field, and in this last remnant of time he is working through
all conceivable methods to close the door against light that God would
have come to His people. He is sweeping the whole world into his
ranks, and the few who are faithful to God’s requirements are the
only ones who can ever withstand him, and even these he is trying to
[171]
overcome.—

The forms of the dead will appear, through the cunning device of
Satan, and many will link up with the one who loveth and maketh a
lie. I warn our people that right among us some will turn away from
the faith and give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, and
by them the truth will be evil spoken of.
A marvelous work shall take place. Ministers, lawyers, doctors,
who have permitted these falsehoods to overmaster their spirit of dis-
cernment, will be themselves deceivers, united with the deceived. A
spiritual drunkenness will take possession of them.—
