While humanity is engrossed in the present, Satan looks to the future , to where the road leads, always calling humanity away from a saving Heavenly Father and enticing his victims to surrender their freedom to him. In this way, he has enslaved a great part of humanity, even making some his powerful minions. The Woman forms a group which stands aside and refuses to be enlisted, which even battles the evil one and rescues some of his victims from eternal darkness. Only when the Woman takes her rightful place will their full power go forth to rescue the nations.
