12 (Ezekiel 28:17; Revelation 12:7-9; see EGW comment on Psalm 17:13; 2 Corinthians 2:11; Galatians 5:17; Revelation 16:13-16). A Battle Against Principalities and Powers—Could human beings know the number of the evil angels, could they know their devices and their activity, there would be far less pride and frivolity. Satan is the prince of demons. The evil angels over whom he rules do his bidding. Through them he multiplies his agencies throughout the world. He instigates all the evil that exists in our world.{6BC 1119.5}

12 (Ez. 28,17; Åb. 12,7-9; se EGW til Sal. 17; Dan. 10,13; 2 Kor. 2,11; Gal. 5,17; Åb. 16,13-16). Et krigsslag mod magter og myndigheder. - Kunne mennesker kende antallet af onde engle, kunne de kende deres påfund og deres aktiviteter, ville der være langt mindre stolthed og pjank. Satan er dæmonernes fyrste. De onde engle som han hersker over, efterkommer hans påbud. Gennem dem mangedobler han sine agenter udover verden. Han ansporer alt det onde som eksisterer i vor verden.
