rooted and grounded in the truth, will be corrupted
and drawn away by the blind leaders of the blind;
and the ungodly, the despisers that wonder and
perish, who despise the sovereignty of the Ancient
of Days and place on the throne a false god, a
being of their own defining, a being altogether such
an one as themselves,--these will be agents in
Satan's hands to corrupt the faith of the unwary.
Those who have been self-indulgent and ready
to yield to pride and fashion and display, will sneer
at the conscientious, truth-loving, God-fearing
people, and will, in this work sneer at the God of
heaven Himself. The Bible is disregarded, the
wisdom of men exalted, and Satan and the man of
sin worshiped by the wisdom of this age, while the
angel is flying through the midst of heaven crying
"Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth."
(Rev. 8:13).
