Excerpt from A Vindication of Swedenborg Against the Slanders and Misrepresentations of J. G. Pike and Others
Our Lord says, There shall arise false christs and false prophets, who shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that (if it were possible) they shall deceive the very elect, Matt. Xxiv. 24; Mark xiii. 22. If so, then signs and wonders, or miraculous performances, are no certain proofs of a divine mission, because they are within the power of impostors and false teachers, and by no means the peculiar characteristics of a divinely authorized prophet. Nay, the power of working miracles is expressly attributed to devils, in Apoc. Xvi. 14: and the very wish or desire to see a sign, in proof of a divine commission, is charged on the Jews as a mark of their being a wicked and adulterous generation, Matt. Xvi. 4.
