Patristic Quote of the Day

…for the wicked spirits desire the death of humankind at every hour and moment of time. These will be permitted to rage more freely so that the church might be made stronger, but at the proper time, they themselves shall be destroyed. And what do you think [such spirits] will do when they are released, when they work such devastation even now when they are bound?—The Venerable Bede, on Rev. 9:15
