Satan Attempts to Drown Conscience—Satan uses his influence to drown the voice of God and the voice of conscience, and the world acts as if under his control. Men have chosen him as their leader. They stand under his banner. They will not come to Christ that they might have life. Infatuated with schemes for pleasure and amusement, they are striving for that which will perish with the using.— Manuscript 161, 1897.{1MCP 320.3}

Satan forsøger at fordunkle samvittigheden. - Satan bruger sin indflydelse for at fordunkle Guds røst og samvittighedens røst, og vil handle som om den er under hans kontrol. Mennesker har valgt ham som deres leder. De står under hans banner. De vil ikke komme til Kristus så at de kan få liv. Forblindet af lumske planer for forlystelser og fornøjelser, kæmper de for det som er forgængeligt når det bruges. - MS 161, 1897.
