- · The final importance of Satan is perhaps indicated in the fact that it is not the Father who deals with him, nor the Christ, but only an unnamed angel.” (Morris)

Psalm
30:3 O LORD, You brought my soul up from
the grave; You have kept me alive that I should not go down to the pit.
Ezekiel
7:23 Make a chain, for the land is
filled with crimes of blood, and the city is full of violence.
