As we approach the perils of the last days, the temptations of the enemy become stronger and more determined. Satan has come down in great power, knowing that his time is short; and he is working "with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish." The warning comes to us through God's Word that, if it were possible, he would deceive the very elect.

Idet vi nærmer os de sidste dages farer, bliver fjendens fristelser stærkere og mere beslutsomme. Satan er kommet ned i stor kraft, vidende at hans tid er kort; og han arbejder med ”al uretfærdighedens forførelse over for dem, der fortabes.” Advarslen kommer til os gennem Guds Ord så, hvis det var muligt, ville han bedrage de udvalgte.
