The Word SERIES: 3

"Lastly, we come to the description of the last great struggle
with the adversary
After telling of the casting down of Satan,
the record says,

Revelation 12
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.
 
Here also we find that the controversy is about the Word.
 
--Satan seeks to destroy men by inducing them to forsake the
Word of God, 
--and they overcome him only by their steadfast
adherence to it. 
 
The devil well knows that they who cling to
the Word of God are safe. 
Therefore his whole effort is to induce them by some sort of deception to forsake it."
E.J. Waggoner
