"Satanic agencies are clothing false theories in an attractive garb, even as Satan in the Garden of Eden concealed his identity from our first parents by speaking through the serpent. These agencies are instilling into human minds that which in reality is deadly error. The hypnotic influence of Satan will rest upon those who turn from the plain word of God to pleasing fables. 8T 294.1"
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
Both passages discuss Satan's deceptive nature, particularly his ability to disguise himself or his messages to mislead people. The EGW passage specifically mentions Satan's deception in the Garden of Eden, while 2 Corinthians 11:14 speaks of him transforming into an angel of light. The connection is strong and relevant.
"I say to all: Be on your guard; for as an angel of light Satan is walking in every assembly of Christian workers, and in every church, trying to win the members to his side. I am bidden to give to the people of God the warning: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked.” Galatians 6:7 . 8T 294.3"
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
The EGW passage directly quotes Galatians 6:7, making it an explicit allusion. The context in EGW reinforces the warning against deception, aligning with the biblical verse's message.
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
The EGW passage directly references Satan appearing as an angel of light, which is the central theme of 2 Corinthians 11:14. The connection is clear and supports the warning given in the EGW passage.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
Both passages warn about the devil's activity and the need for vigilance. While 1 Peter 5:8 uses the metaphor of a roaring lion, the EGW passage speaks of Satan as an angel of light. Both emphasize the danger and the need to be on guard.
