the minds of them which believe not

…” 2 Corinthians 4:4

“Wherein in time past ye walked

according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of

the air, the spirit that now worketh in

the children of disobedience:”

Revelation 12:9, 12

9 And the great dragon was

cast out, that old serpent,

called the Devil, and Satan,

which deceiveth the whole

world: he was cast out into the

earth, and his angels were cast

out with him. …

12 ….Woe to the inhabiters of

the earth and of the sea! for the

devil is come down unto you,

having great wrath, because he

knoweth that he hath but a

short time.

Evil angels dwell in the earth among human beings.

King’s Saul’s association

with the witch of Endor

Page 10: Evil spirits real or fake

1 Samuel 28:3-20

3 Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him,

and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul

had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the

wizards, out of the land. … 5 And when Saul saw the host

of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly

trembled. - 6 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the

Lord answered him not, neither by dreams nor by Urim,

nor by prophets. - 7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek

me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to

her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him,

Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at

Endor. - 8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other

raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they

came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee,

divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him

up, whom I shall name unto thee. 1 Samuel 28:3, 5-8

Page 11: Evil spirits real or fake

12 And when the woman saw

Samuel, she cried with a loud

voice: and the woman spake to

Saul, saying, Why hast thou

deceived me? for thou art Saul. -

13 And the king said unto her, Be

not afraid: for what sawest thou?

And the woman said unto Saul, I

saw gods ascending out of the

earth. - 14 And he said unto her,

What form is he of? And she said,

An old man cometh up; and he is

covered with a mantle. And Saul

perceived that it was Samuel, and

he stooped with his face to the

ground, and bowed himself. 1

Samuel 28:9-11

Page 12: Evil spirits real or fake

15 And Samuel said to Saul,

Why hast thou disquieted

me, to bring me up? And

Saul answered, I am sore

distressed; for the

Philistines make war against

me, and God is departed

from me, and answereth me

no more, neither by

prophets, nor by dreams:

therefore I have called thee,

that thou mayest make

known unto me what I shall

do. 1 Samuel 28:15

Page 13: Evil spirits real or fake

16 Then said Samuel,

Wherefore then dost thou

ask of me, seeing the Lord is

departed from thee, and is

become thine enemy?

17 And the Lord hath done

to him, as he spake by me:

for the Lord hath rent the

kingdom out of thine hand,

and given it to thy

neighbour, even to David: 1

Samuel 28: 16-17

Page 14: Evil spirits real or fake

18 Because thou obeyedst not the

voice of the Lord, nor executedst

his fierce wrath upon Amalek,

therefore hath the Lord done

this thing unto thee this day.

19 Moreover the Lord will also

deliver Israel with thee into the

hand of the Philistines: and to

morrow shalt thou and thy sons

be with me: the Lord also shall

deliver the host of Israel into the

hand of the Philistines. 1 Samuel

28:18-19

Page 15: Evil spirits real or fake

20 Then Saul fell

straightway all along on the

earth, and was sore afraid,

because of the words of

Samuel: and there was no

strength in him; for he had

eaten no bread all the day,

nor all the night.

1 Samuel 28:20

Leviticus 19:31

31 Regard not them that

have familiar spirits, neither

seek after wizards, to be

defiled by them: I am the

Lord your God.

Leviticus 20:6

6 And the soul that turneth

after such as have familiar

spirits, and after wizards, to

go a whoring after them, I

will even set my face against

that soul, and will cut him off

from among his people.

Moses vs. Pharaoh

Page 20: Evil spirits real or fake

Exodus 7:10-13

10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto

Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord

had commanded: and Aaron cast down

his rod before Pharaoh, and before his

servants, and it became a serpent. - Then

Pharaoh also called the wise men and the

sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt,

they also did in like manner with their

enchantments. - For they cast down

every man his rod, and they became

serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up

their rods. - And he hardened Pharaoh's

heart, that he hearkened not unto them;

as the Lord had said.

Page 21: Evil spirits real or fake

Exodus 8:16-19

16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto

Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust

of the land, that it may become lice

throughout all the land of Egypt.

17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his

hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the

earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast;

all the dust of the land became lice throughout

all the land of Egypt.

18 And the magicians did so with their

enchantments to bring forth lice, but they

could not: so there were lice upon man, and

upon beast.

19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh,

This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart

was hardened, and he hearkened not unto

them; as the Lord had said

“For all the gods of the nations are idols: but

the Lord made the heavens.” “Thus shall ye

say unto them, The gods that have not made

the heavens and the earth, even they shall

perish from the earth, and from under these

heavens.” (Ps 96:5; Jer 10:11).

Daniel interprets

the king’s dream

Page 23: Evil spirits real or fake

King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.Daniel 2:1-3

1 And in the second year of the

reign of Nebuchadnezzar

Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams,

wherewith his spirit was troubled,

and his sleep brake from him.

2 Then the king commanded to

call the magicians, and the

astrologers, and the sorcerers, and

the Chaldeans, for to shew the

king his dreams. So they came and

stood before the king.

3 And the king said unto them, I

have dreamed a dream, and my

spirit was troubled to know the

dream.

Page 24: Evil spirits real or fake

Daniel 2:8-11

8 The king answered and said, I know of

certainty that ye would gain the time, because

ye see the thing is gone from me.

9 But if ye will not make known unto me the

dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye

have prepared lying and corrupt words to

speak before me, till the time be changed:

therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know

that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.

10 The Chaldeans answered before the king,

and said, There is not a man upon the earth

that can shew the king's matter: therefore there

is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such

things at any magician, or astrologer, or

Chaldean.

11 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth,

and there is none other that can shew it before

the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not

with flesh.

Page 25: Evil spirits real or fake

Daniel 2:16, 19, 27-28

16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the

king that he would give him time, and that

he would shew the king the interpretation.

…..

19 Then was the secret revealed unto

Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel

blessed the God of heaven.

…..

27 Daniel answered in the presence of the

king, and said, The secret which the king

hath demanded cannot the wise men, the

astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers,

shew unto the king;

28 But there is a God in heaven

that revealeth secrets, and maketh

known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what

shall be in the latter days. ……

All kingdoms were formed from

the beginning so that Lucifer

can exercise his reign.

All the nations worshipped

idols.

The idols represent devils:

…they served their idols: …

they sacrificed their sons and

their daughters unto devils, …

they sacrificed unto the idols …

Daniel 10:12-13

12 Then said he unto me, Fear not,

Daniel: for from the first day that thou

didst set thine heart to understand, and

to chasten thyself before thy God, thy

words were heard, and I am come for

thy words.

13 But the prince of the kingdom of

Persia withstood me one and twenty

days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief

princes, came to help me; and I

remained there with the kings of Persia.

Exodus 20:4-6

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any

graven image, or any likeness of any

thing that is in heaven above, or that is

in the earth beneath, or that is in the

water under the earth: - 5 Thou shalt

not bow down thyself to them, nor

serve them: for I the Lord thy God am

a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of

the fathers upon the children unto the

third and fourth generation of them that

hate me; - 6 And shewing mercy unto

thousands of them that love me, and

keep my commandments.

Romans 1:20-23

20 For the invisible things of him from the

creation of the world are clearly seen, being

understood by the things that are made, even

his eternal power and Godhead; so that they

are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they

glorified him not as God, neither were

thankful; but became vain in their

imaginations, and their foolish heart was

darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they

became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the

uncorruptible God into an image made like to

corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted

beasts, and creeping things.

Joseph interprets

the king’s dream

Joseph interprets the king’s dreamGenesis 41:1-5

1 And it came to pass at the end of two full

years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold,

he stood by the river.

2 And, behold, there came up out of the

river seven well favoured kine and

fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.

3 And, behold, seven other kine came up

after them out of the river, ill favoured and

leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine

upon the brink of the river.

4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine

did eat up the seven well favoured and fat

kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

Joseph interprets the king’s dreamGenesis 41:5-8

5 And he slept and dreamed the second time:

and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon

one stalk, rank and good.

6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with

the east wind sprung up after them.

7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven

rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and,

behold, it was a dream.

8 And it came to pass in the morning that his

spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for

all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men

thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but

there was none that could interpret them unto

Pharaoh.

Page 34: Evil spirits real or fake

Joseph interprets the king’s dreamGenesis 41:9-12

9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh,

saying, I do remember my faults this day:

10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and

put me in ward in the captain of the guard's

house, both me and the chief baker:

11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and

he; we dreamed each man according to the

interpretation of his dream.

12 And there was there with us a young man, an

Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard;

and we told him, and he interpreted to us our

dreams; to each man according to his dream he

did interpret.

Page 35: Evil spirits real or fake

Joseph interprets the king’s dreamGenesis 41:13-16

13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us,

so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and

him he hanged.

14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and

they brought him hastily out of the dungeon:

and he shaved himself, and changed his

raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have

dreamed a dream, and there is none that can

interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that

thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.

16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is

not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of

peace. ……

Joseph interprets the king’s dreamGenesis 41:24-26

24 And the thin ears devoured the

seven good ears: and I told this unto

the magicians; but there was none that

could declare it to me.

25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The

dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath

shewed Pharaoh what he is about to

do.

26 The seven good kine are seven

years; and the seven good ears are

seven years: the dream is one.

Page 37: Evil spirits real or fake

Joseph interprets the king’s dreamGenesis 41:27-29

27 And the seven thin and ill favoured

kine that came up after them are seven

years; and the seven empty ears

blasted with the east wind shall be

seven years of famine.

28 This is the thing which I have

spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is

about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

29 Behold, there come seven years of

great plenty throughout all the land of

Egypt:

Page 38: Evil spirits real or fake

Joseph interprets the king’s dreamGenesis 41:30-32

30 And there shall arise after them seven

years of famine; and all the plenty shall

be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the

famine shall consume the land;

31 And the plenty shall not be known in

the land by reason of that famine

following; for it shall be very grievous.

32 And for that the dream was doubled

unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the

thing is established by God, and God will

shortly bring it to pass. …..

11 And God wrought special miracles by the

hands of Paul:

12 So that from his body were brought unto the

sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases

departed from them, and the evil spirits went

out of them.

13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews,

exorcists, took upon them to call over them

which had evil spirits the name of the Lord

Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom

Paul preacheth.

14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a

Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

Evil spirits knows who are God’s own

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I

know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was

leaped on them, and overcame them, and

prevailed against them, so that they fled out of

that house naked and wounded.

17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks

also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them

all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was

magnified.

18 And many that believed came, and confessed,

and shewed their deeds.

3 For all nations have drunk of the

wine of the wrath of her fornication,

and the kings of the earth have

committed fornication with her, and

the merchants of the earth are waxed

rich through the abundance of her

delicacies. ……

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who

now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall

consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the

brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with

all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that

perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they

might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,

that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but

had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Revelation 16:13-14

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out

of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the

beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles,

which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the

whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great

day of God Almighty.

me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into

that doeth the will of my Father

which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that

day, Lord, Lord, have we not

prophesied in thy name? and in

thy name have cast out devils? and

in thy name done many wonderful

works?

23 And then will I profess unto

them, I never knew you: depart

from me, ye that work iniquity.

“…another beast …had two horns like a lamb … spake as a dragon.

…causeth the earth …to worship the first beast … he doeth great wonders, so

that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men

… And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles

…as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. …he

causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a

mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads …no man might buy or sell,

save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his

name.” Revelation 13:11-17

State of the Dead

Page 55: Evil spirits real or fake

Quote: Satan has power to bring the

appearance of forms before us

purporting to be our relatives and

friends that now sleep in Jesus. It will be

made to appear as if they were present,

the words they uttered while here, which

we were familiar with, will be spoken,

and the same tone of voice which they

had while living will fall upon the

ear. All this is to deceive the world, and

ensnare them into the belief of this

delusion. …

…the state of the dead…

Page 56: Evil spirits real or fake

… I saw that the saints must have a thorough

understanding of the present truth, which

they will have to maintain from the

Scriptures. They must understand the state of

the dead; for the spirits of devils will yet

appear to them, professing to be beloved

friends and relatives, who will declare to them

unscriptural doctrines. They will do all in

their power to excite sympathy, and work

miracles before them, to confirm what they

declare. The people of God must be prepared

to withstand these spirits with the Bible truth

that the dead know not anything, and that

they are the spirits of devils.” The Great

Controversy. CHAPTER 30 Spiritualism, E. G. White
