Rolls (1856 – unknown)

W. Pink (1886 – 1952)

Satan’s frenzied fury against manhood is the result of his insane hatred against God’s order, meaning that God’s governmental order, God’s laws, and God’s creation of male and female is the battle ground. Do you think that the attack today against MAN as male is merely a political fluke? To remove maleness from the earth is a strategic act of war against man and God. – Mary Haigh
