In times past, when angelic visits, visions and revelations were vouchsafed to the servants of God there was no mistaking as to where they were from. And, we may safely say, God guarded His servants against deception in those matters. God having stated that miracles and prophecies would cease with the perfection of the New Testament, and that divers manners of communications would not be in this dispensation, but that what he had for man was spoken by His Son, and having pledged Himself upon oath to be with what His Son delivered gives us to understand, if people would heed His word, as to the source of all visions of modern times. All such, not only positively contradict God's word, but would make the Almighty One a perjured being! A proper respect for the utterances of God demands respect for His silence, and if any are destitute of the required reverence they are liable to the delusions of Satan's working.
