The False Claims of Satan—Satan, the rebel and apostate, works by every possible device to defeat the purpose of God. Because men have sinned, he claims that they have come under his dominion, and that the heavenly agencies, angels that excel in strength, should not take his subjects from under his control. Should men receive divine power, he knows that he cannot prevail against them, and work his will in cruelty upon body and mind; therefore he accuses them before God, and claims that the power of God shall not be imparted to them (The Review and Herald, June 20, 1893).{7BC 953.1}

15 (Præd. 12,13. 14; se EGW til 1.Mos. 6,3; Rom. 3,19). Enhver handling vejes på vægtene.--[Judas 14, 15; Præd. 12,13, 14 citeret delvist.] Gud sætter enhver handling på vægtskålen. Hvilket sceneri vil det ikke være! Hvilke indtryk vil det ikke give om Guds hellige karakter og syndens frygtelige forbrydelse, når dommen, baseret på loven, gennemføres over for alle verdenerne. For den utrættelige synder vil alle de synder han har begået blive åbnet op for, og han vil se og forstå summen af synden og hans egen skyld.
