Wiles of Satan
证言精选-卷一-第42章
撒但占有很大的优势。他具有天使的奇妙智力,但只有很少的人对此有正确的观念。撒但心知自己的实力,否则他就不会与那全能的神,永在的父,和平的君起冲突了。撒但细心留意事变,当他见到有人对于上帝的真理存着特别强烈的反对精神时,他甚至会向那人显明一些无法实现的事,以便自己更稳定地在其心中占得一席之地。他曾胆大妄为,毫不犹豫地与掌握受造之物的主起冲突,他有恶毒的心意可以施行逼迫和欺骗。他现今将世人拘禁在他的网罗之中。在他几近六千年的经验上,他的技能和精明机警毫无稍减。他始终密切地观察凡与我们人类有关的事。{1TT 217.1}[1]
证言精选-卷一-第42章
Satan has great advantages. He possessed the wonderful intellectual power of an angel, of which few form any just idea. Satan was conscious of his power, or he would not have engaged in a conflict with the mighty God, the everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace. Satan closely watches events, and when he finds one who has a specially strong spirit of opposition to the truth of God he will even reveal to him unfulfilled events, that he may more firmly secure himself a seat in his heart. He who did not hesitate to brave a conflict with Him who holds creation as in His hand, has malignity to persecute and deceive. He holds mortals in his snare at the present time. During his experience of nearly six thousand years he has lost none of his skill and shrewdness. All this time he has been a close observer of all that concerns our race.{1TT 217.1}[1]
证言精选-卷一-第42章
那些激烈反对上帝真理的人,撒但利用他们作他的媒介。对于这种人,他会假装人形显现,装扮成另一个人,可能是身为媒介者的一个朋友。他会利用这个朋友的话增强其信心,叙述即将发生的事项,或实际已经发生,而身为媒介的人却不知道的事情。有时在死亡或意外变故之先,他给人托梦,或是扮装成另一个人,去与作媒介的交谈,甚至藉着他的暗示授人知识。然而这等智慧是从下面来的,不是从上头来的。撒但所教的智慧是与真理相反的,除非为了达到他的目的,他才披上光明天使的外衣。对于某等人的心思,他会让他们赞成基督徒所信真理的一部分,而对于其他的部分,则警告他们那是危险致命的异端而拒绝之。{1TT 217.2}[2]
证言精选-卷一-第42章
Those who have bitterly opposed the truth of God, Satan uses as his mediums. To such he will appear in the assumed person and garb of another, it may be a friend of the medium. He will increase their faith by using the words of this friend and relating circumstances which are about to take place or which really have taken place and of which the medium knew nothing. Sometimes previous to a death or an accident he gives a dream or, personating another, converses with the medium, even imparting knowledge by means of his suggestions. But it is wisdom from beneath and not from above. The wisdom taught by Satan is opposed to the truth, unless, to serve his purpose, he apparently clothes himself with the light which enshrouds angels. To a certain class of minds he will come sanctioning a part of what Christ’s followers?believe to be truth, while he warns them to reject the other part as dangerous and fatal error.{1TT 217.2}[2]

撒但是一个老练的工人。他在运用恶魔智慧上很有成就。他随时能够教导那些拒绝上帝忠告的人,使他们自害己命。他所用的钓饵,能引人入其网中,以便其魔爪可以抓紧他们。他会披上每种可能的善事,尽可能地有魅力。凡这样坠入其圈套中的人,要付出可怕的代价,方知自己出卖天国和永生,换取结果必死的欺骗,乃是何等的愚昧。{1TT 218.1}[3]

Satan is a master workman. His infernal wisdom he employs with good success. He is ready and able to teach those who reject the counsel of God against their own souls. The bait which he has found will avail in bringing souls into his net, that he may fasten his hellish grasp upon them, he will clothe with every possible good and make as attractive as possible. All who are thus ensnared will learn at a dreadful expense the folly of selling heaven and immortality for a deception that is fatal in its consequences.{1TT 218.1}[3]
证言精选-卷一-第42章
我们的仇敌魔鬼,并不缺乏智慧及能力。他遍地游行,如同吼叫的狮子寻找可吞吃的人。他要“行各样的异能神迹,和一切虚假的奇事,并且在那沉沦的人身上,行各样出于不义的诡诈;因他们不领受爱真理的心,使他们得救。”因为他们拒绝了真理,所以“上帝就给他们一个生发错误的心,叫他们信从虚谎;使一切不信真理,倒喜爱不义的人都被定罪”(帖后2:9-12)。我们所要与之争战的仇敌,是顽强有力而诡计多端的。我们唯一的安全之道,就是投身在基督里面。基督快要复临,祂要用口中的气灭绝这大骗子,并用降临的荣光废掉他。{1TT 218.2}(2T.171-173.1868年)[4]
证言精选-卷一-第42章
Our adversary, the devil, is not void of wisdom or strength. He goeth about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He will work “with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” Because they rejected the truth, “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. We have a powerful, deceptive foe with whom to contend, and our only safety is in Him who is to come who will consume this archdeceiver with the spirit of His mouth, and destroy with the brightness of His coming.{1TT 218.2}[4]
