Behind the scenes of this world spiritual forces are fighting over the souls of men in the great controversy between Christ and Satan (Ephesians 6:12). The Scriptures reveal the play and counter-play of these forces throughout sacred history until the return of Christ and the setting up of His kingdom (Daniel 2:44). It is important for us to know where we are in the scheme of things and be prepared to take our stand on the right side. Those who do nothing but sit on the fence are in danger of being swept away by the spiritualistic delusions that are to come upon the world (Matthew 24:24). God has given us light in His Word to guide our steps and light our path (Psalm 119:105). The deceptions and philosophies of spiritualism will increasingly infiltrate the church and take on a holy garb, until one day the church will become a haunt of demons (Revelation 18:2)! God has given us warnings in His Word to protect and guide us; none will be deceived without first hearing and rejecting the truth (2 Thess. 2:11-12).
