The enemy is preparing for his last campaign against the church. He has
so concealed himself from view that many can hardly believe that he
exists, much less can they be convinced of his amazing activity and
power. They have to a great extent forgotten his past record; and when
he makes another advance move, they will not recognize him as their
enemy, that old serpent, but they will consider him a friend, one who is
doing a good work. Boasting of their independence they will, under his
specious, bewitching influence, obey the worst impulses of the human
heart and yet believe that God is leading them. Could their eyes be
opened to distinguish their captain, they would see that they are not
serving God, but the enemy of all righteousness. They would see that
their boasted independence is one of the heaviest fetters Satan can
rivet on unbalanced minds.
