satan

In this age ANTICHRIST WILL APPEAR AS TRUE CHRIST, and then the law of God will be fully made void in the nations of our world. Rebellion against God's holy law will be fully ripe. But the true leader of all this rebellion is Satan clothed as an angel of light. Men will be deceived and will exalt him to the place of God, and deify him. But Omnipotence will interpose, and to the apostate churches that unite in the exaltation of Satan, the sentence will go forth, "Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her" [Rev. 18:8].--TM 62 (1893).As the second appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ draws near, satanic agencies are moved from beneath. SATAN WILL NOT ONLY APPEAR AS A HUMAN BEING, BUT HE WILL PERSONATE JESUS CHRIST, and the world that has rejected the truth will receive him as the Lord of lords and King of kings.--5BC 1105, 1106 (1900)
