Know your enemy. Read his mail.
Lord Foulgrin's Letters are written by a demon to his subordinate
Squaltaint. Lord Foulgrin advises Squaltaint how to tempt and deceive
Jordan Fletcher, the human "vermin" or "sludgebag" to whom he's
assigned.
Referring to God as a "Tyrant" and "the Enemy," Lord Foulgrin
is a proud, demanding and devious rebel with an inflated sense of
self-importance.
As Christians, we are on Satan's hit list. Demons are out to get
us. They are devoted to deceiving and destroying us, as a means
of lashing back at God, the Creator who evicted them from heaven
when they rebelled. This vast army is led by Satan, the dark lord,
who wages war against us and the righteous angels who defend us.
Imagine what a major coup of military intelligence it would be
if we could place a wiretap in Hell's war room. What if we could
plant a bugging device where we could overhear our enemies assessing
our weaknesses and strategizing how next to attack us?
