Satan Watching for Unguarded Minds—Satan is watching that he may find the mind in an unguarded moment, and so get possession of it. We do not want to be ignorant of his devices, neither do we want to be overpowered by his devices. He is pleased with the pictures that represent him as having horns and hooves, for he has intelligence; he was once an angel of light.— Manuscript 11, 1893.{1MCP 24.1}

Satan er på lur efter upåpasselige menneskesind. - Satan er på vagt efter at han finder menneskesindet i et upåagtet øjeblik, og så tager det i besiddelse. Vi ønsker ikke at være uvidne om hans bedrag, og vi ønsker heller ikke at overmandes af hans bedrag. Han er glad for de billeder der fremstiller ham med horn og klove, for han har intelligens; han var tidligere en lysets engel. - MS 11, 1893.
