What Satan Doesn't Want You to Know - Clayton D Steep - March 1985

Clayton D Steep

Satan the devil is very clever. No wonder. Before he became the devil, he was a resplendent spiritual ' being - an archangel. At that time he was "full of wisdom" (Ezekiel 28:12). When Satan rebelled against God's government, however, all of that wisdom became perverted (verse 17). It became tricky and deceitful. That is one of the reasons he has been able to fool all humanity (Revelation 12:9). He has deceived the whole world, as the Bible clearly states. When you think about it, that is no small accomplishment. You've heard the saying: "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." But don't you believe it - Satan has done it. Starting with Eve and, through her, Adam, Satan has fooled all humanity in every generation. How does he do this? He doesn't appear personally to every individual and lie to each one, as he did to Eve. He doesn't have to. He has a more effective method. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
