Great Enemy #1 is Temptation and Great Enemy #2 is Evil, or the producer of evil – The Evil one: Satan himself. Therefore, “Lead us NOT into Temptation, but deliver us from evil” is first an acknowledgement or reminder that we’re in a very real spiritual battle and second, we NEED God’s protection from them both or we may unwittingly become participants in Satan’s strategy – sadly opposing God’s work and will in this world!
