Snares of the Devil in Our
Midst
How does Satan try to undermine the pillars of the Seventh-
day Adventist faith?
How do faithful Seventh-day Adventists do to become wise
to the devices of the devil?
What can faithful Seventh-day Adventists do to warn our
brethren of these snares of Satan?
Text for Meditation
“There are men professing godliness who are persecutors,
false teachers, tempters, seducers. They have cultivated their
talents for this work; and they employ all their ingenuity in
disseminating unbelief, impiety, infidelity, licentiousness. They
are fellow-workers with Satan, laboring with like zeal,
diligence, and success, to draw away souls after them. Had
the followers of Christ been cultivating their ability, they might
be wise unto salvation, able to discern the devices of Satan;
were they workers together with God, we would now have an
army of faithful men prepared to stand in defense of the truth,
and to meet and successfully expose the deceptions of the
ungodly.” — Review and Herald, January 1, 1884, par. 7.
Enemies within the gate
“We have far more to fear from within than from without. The
hindrances to strength and success are far greater from the
church itself than from the world. Unbelievers have a right to
expect that those who profess to be keeping the
commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, will do more
than any other class to promote and honor, by their consistent
lives, by their godly example and their active influence, the
cause which they represent. But how often have the professed
advocates of the truth proved the greatest obstacle to its
advancement! The unbelief indulged, the doubts expressed,
the darkness cherished, encourage the presence of evil
angels, and open the way for the accomplishment of Satan's
devices.” — Selected Messages, Vol. 1, p. 122.
Study Summary
• The day for a year principle is not the invention of Seventh-day
Adventist theology. It is a time-tested principle that has been
recognized since the 4th century and has been adopted by a host
of Protestant reformers and serious thinkers.
• Within the book of Daniel itself is proof that the day for a year
principle is necessary to understand all the time prophecies
that were sealed in this book until the time of the end.
Specifically, the 1,260, 1,290, 1,335, and 2,300 day for a year
prophecies.
• The claims by Desmond Ford and other preterists that the day
for year principle has no scriptural basis is a ruse calculated to
deceive the minds of the simple and distract from the truth.
What these skeptics have to offer in turn is nothing but private
