"In the light
of the prophesied onslaught
of deceiving spirits
against the Church
in the last days
(I Tim. 4:1-3
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly,
that in the latter times
some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy;
having their conscience seared
with a hot iron;...)
"so apparent in its incipient fulfilment now,"
(This was written in the 50's.
Merrill Unger should see today.)
"the unbelief of Christian people
is all the more tragic
as many believers suffer
demonic deception and despoliation
because of sheer ignorance
of Satan and his devices."
"Even many spiritual believers
are unable to wage a successful war
against this army of wicked spirits,
through
lack of knowledge
of what is involved."
"Many shrink from the subject altogether,
insisting that so long as Christ is preached,
occupation with Satan and demons is
unnecessary and spiritually unhealthy
All the while however,
Satan is continuously gaining advantage
because of the believers ignorance.
Unger.
