Revelation 13:14
"And he deceives them that dwell on the earth by those miracles which he had power to do."
2 Corinthians 11:14
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
Answer
The devil is seeking to devour anyone he can. He is a persecuting power. He can work miracles. He can even transform himself to appear as an angel of light. (The word “transform” means to change appearance)
