Satan is the master of deceit and façade. It is remarkable that he is able to find the key temptations that match each of our personal shortcomings and weaknesses, and then turn them into overwhelming juggernauts. But there is another façade that involves Satan: one that pertains to who might have the last laugh in the millennium. The Book of Mormon gives a clue that, in that day, Satan's own obscuring façade will fall. Instead of appearing as a masterful giant, we will likely be shocked at his ineptitude and the flimsiness of his countenance.
2 Nephi 24:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and shall consider thee, and shall say: Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?
LESSON LEARNED: Knowing the end game of Satan’s reign and his true character gives valuable perspective in dealing with temptation.
FEEDBACK: HOW DOES THIS PERSPECTIVE HELP YOU IN DEALING WITH TEMPTATION?
