Satanic agencies are clothing false theories in an attractive garb, even as Satan in the Garden of Eden concealed his identity from our first parents by speaking through the serpent. These agencies are instilling into human minds that which in reality is deadly error. The hypnotic influence of Satan will rest upon those who turn from the plain word of God to pleasing fables. {8T 294.1}

Satans redskaber klæder falske teorier i en tiltalende dragt, ligesom Satan i edens have skjulte sin identitet for vore første forældre ved at tale gennem slangen. Disse redskaber giver dråbevis menneskesindet noget, der i virkeligheden er dødelig vildfarelse. Satans hypnotiske indflydelse vil hvile over dem, som vender sig fra Guds tydelige ord til behagelige fabler.
