"I saw the rapidity with which this delusion was spreading. A train of cars was shown me, going with the speed of lightning. The angel bade me look carefully. I fixed my eyes upon the train. It seemed that the whole world was on board. Then he showed me the conductor, a fair, stately person, whom all the passengers looked up to and reverenced.
I was perplexed and asked my attending angel who it was. He said, “It is Satan. He is the conductor, in the form of an angel of light.
He has taken the world captive. They are given over to strong delusions, to believe a lie that they may be damned. His agent, the highest in order next to him, is the engineer, and others of his agents are employed in different offices as he may need them, and they are all going with lightning speed to perdition.”
He is making the world believe that the Bible is uninspired, no better than a storybook, while he holds out something to take its place; namely, spiritual manifestations.
Here is a channel wholly devoted to himself, under his control, and he can make the world believe what he will."
Early Writings p.264,265 E.G.W.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
