So many leaders hold the future of the world in their hands, each meant by the Father to fulfill a specific role of preserving and fostering life. Satan covets their role and rejoices when they follow his path.
How many are in his hands! How wisely he appeals to their desires for greatness so they fulfill his goals. He arms them. Prospers their treasures. Protects them until he uses them. Then, he discards them because he has prepared others, a succession of his instruments, one after the other, each for a moment on the world scene and each a part of his design. Unless filled with divine wisdom, no one can understand the greatness of Satan’s intellect nor the cleverness of his plan.
