judgment;

who are really worshipped?

not that ye should have fellowship
with devils.
Do devils sometimes possess men, and
speak through them?.
• Matthew 8:28-31
• 28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of
the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils,
coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might
pass by that way.

thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us

the word of God.

withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
• 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set
his eyes on him,
• 10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all
mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy
of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to
pervert the right ways of the Lord?
• 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is
upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing
the sun for a season. And immediately there
fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he

hand.

work of the devil in the last days?

expressly, that in the latter times
some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines of devils;
How will they come, and who
will they claim to be?
•Isaiah 8:19.
•19 And when they shall say unto you,

and that mutter: should not a people
seek unto their God? for the living to
the dead?

wonders?

does Satan try to represent himself?
• 2 Corinthians 11:14, 15.
• 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is
transformed into an angel of light.
