One word in closing seems necessary. The same words that are used of the mighty

works of Christ and His apostles are used of the wicked one, "whose coming is after the

working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders" (II Thess. 2: 9), the only

added word being "lying". This reveals the awful deception which shall be thrust upon

the earth in the last days. These miracles constitute the "strong delusion" which will lead

men to believe the lie. The fact that the false prophet will work actual miracles, and the

three frog-like spirits of demons seen in the Revelation will work miracles, should cause

us most carefully to pause before we conclude that the possession of a supernatural power

today is necessarily an evidence of Divine origin or approval.
