““The parallels between Sauron and Satan can’t be missed, especially since Tolkien refers to the “absolute Satanic rebellion and evil of… Sauron.”31 Just as Sauron came to the elves pretending to be a good entity while scheming to enslave them, Satan seeks to deceive and dominate people, often using things God intended for good to ensnare them: “For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 11:14–15 NKJV).””
