Spiritualism Predicted.—

For this time, for these last days, God in His Word has predicted the recrudescence of this ancient demonism. Satan, the head of the demon host, shall work “with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness;” it is a “strong delusion” which God will permit to come upon those who reject the truth that would save them from it. See 2 Thess. 2:8-11. Again as “Jannes and Jambres [the Egyptian wonder-workers] withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth.” See 2 Tim. 3:1, 8. Once more: “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 [teachings of demons].” 1 Tim. 4:1. A mighty flood of devilish teaching from the lowest depths of the bottomless pit is engulfing the world. For this there is but one antidote, the Word of God as it is in Christ Jesus. But those who fall under the baleful spell of the teaching deny the Bible, and the Lord that bought them. They cut the very rope which would save them from the maelstroms of despair and destruction.
