   Ever since his fall, Satan has been the leader of rebellion. Ever since that time he has been leading men and women astray. Christ’s work began with the beginning of transgression. Then the warfare between good and evil was begun. The Scriptures speak plainly of this warfare, carrying us down to the final triumph of Christ over Satan and his adherents. This conflict never ceases. { RH March 12, 1901, par. 3 }

 

  Jesus was victor in the second temptation, and now Satan manifests himself in his true character. But he does not appear as a hideous monster with cloven feet and bat’s wings. He is a mighty angel, though fallen. He avows himself the leader of rebellion, and the god of this world. { RH May 14, 1908, par. 10 }  also  { TA 175.4}

  Jesus was victor in the second temptation, and now Satan manifested himself in his true character—as a mighty angel, though fallen. He avowed himself the leader of rebellion and the god of this world. Placing Jesus on a high mountain, he caused the kingdoms of the world to pass in panoramic view before Him. The sunlight lay on templed cities, marble palaces, fertile fields, and fruit-laden vineyards. The traces of evil were hidden. The eyes of Jesus gazed on a scene of unsurpassed loveliness and prosperity. Then the tempter’s voice was heard: “All this will I give Thee... . If Thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be Thine.” { HLv 78.1 }
