Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Why does Satan keep fighting a war he has already lost? A close reading of every account of him in scripture, from the councils of heaven to the last battle after the Millennium.Satan is the most consistent figure in scripture. The same pride, the same claim to a throne that is not his, and the same methods of division and control appear in every dispensation, from the war in heaven through the flood, the ministry of Christ, the Great Apostasy, and the Restoration, down to the battle of Gog and Magog at the end of the Millennium. Read in order, those accounts add up to a plan.Satan's Plan follows that pattern through the Old and New Testaments, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price, one passage at a time. Each chapter quotes the scripture in full, reads it closely, and closes on plain conclusions about the adversary. Difficult words are traced to the Joseph Smith Translation, the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, Strong's Concordance, and Webster's 1828 dictionary, so the reader can check every step.The book covers:Lucifer before the rebellion, and what the councils of heaven reveal about his ambitionThe war in heaven and the exile, and why the fight did not end thereEden, the secret combinations before and after the flood, and the kingdoms Satan has builtSatan in the ministry of Christ, the apostolic church, and the Great ApostasyThe last dispensation, the Millennium, and the battle of Gog and MagogA complete profile of Satan: his nature, his mind, his limitations, and his endThe plan itself, laid out from the evidence, and a closing chapter on how we overcome him in ordinary lifeTwo appendices take up the Word of Wisdom comma question and the pattern of the plan being run twice.This is an independent, faithful study written from within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is not an official publication of the Church, and the conclusions are the author's own.For Latter-day Saints who want to understand the adversary from scripture rather than from folklore, for anyone who has wondered why evil looks the same in every age, and for readers who want to close the book calmer than they opened it: Satan can be understood, and Christ has already claimed the victory.
