7. What spirits stand ever ready to deceive and ruin those who are off guard or bent on going astray?

Answer

"And the Lord said, Who shall persuade [margin, deceive] Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? . . . And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the
Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all
his prophets. And He said, Thou shall persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so." 1 Kings 22: 2022. See 2 Thess. 2: 10, 11.
