(James 4:8.) Good Angels Restrain Satan—God has angels whose whole work is to draw those who shall be heirs of salvation. Whenever one takes a step toward Jesus, Jesus is taking steps toward him. The angels’ work is to keep back the powers of Satan (Manuscript 17, 1893).{7BC 922.5}

(Jakob 4,8.) Guds engle modstår Satan.--Gud har engle, hvis hele opgave består i at drage dem, der skal arve frelsen. Hver gang et menneske tager et skridt hen imod Jesus, bevæger Jesus sig også hen imod dette menneske. Det er englenes opgave at holde Satans magter tilbage. (MS 17, 1893).
