Satan flatters some, through his chosen servants

“I was shown a bright light, given by God to guide all who
would walk in the way of salvation, and also to serve as a warning
to the sinner to flee from the wrath of God, and yield a willing
obedience to his claims. While this light continued there was hope.
But there was a period when this light would cease. When he that
is holy will remain holy forever, and when he that is filthy will
remain filthy forever. When Jesus stands up; when his work is
finished in the Most Holy, when there will be not another ray of
light to be imparted to the sinner.
“But Satan flatters some, through his chosen servants, as he
flattered Eve in Eden. Thou shalt not surely die, and tells them
there will be a season for repentance, a time of probation, when the
filthy can be made pure. The co-workers with Satan and his angels
carry the light into the future age, teaching probation after the
advent of Christ, which deludes the sinner, and leads the coldhearted
professor to carnal security. He is careless and indifferent,
and walks stumblingly over the hours of his probation. The light is
made to reach far ahead, where all is total darkness. Michael
stands up. Instead of mercy, the deluded sinner feels wrath
unmixed with mercy. And they awake too late to this fatal
deception. This plan was studied by Satan, and is carried out by
ministers who turn the truth of God into a lie.” {2SG 276}
