The Man of Lawlessness
Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers, 1Th 4:14-17Mrk 13:27Mat 24:311Th 2:191Th 3:132Ti 4:1Mat 25:32Eph 1:10 not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come. 1Jn 4:1-2Mrk 13:7Mat 24:4-62Pe 3:4-82Th 3:17Luk 21:91Co 1:81Th 4:15 Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed. Mat 24:4-61Jn 2:18Eph 5:61Ti 4:1-32Th 2:8-10Dan 7:25Dan 8:252Ti 3:1-3 He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Dan 7:25Ezk 28:2Isa 14:13-14Rev 13:6-7Ezk 28:6Dan 11:451Co 8:5Dan 7:8
Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you? 2Pe 1:15Gal 5:21Jhn 16:4Mat 16:91Th 2:112Th 3:10Act 20:31Luk 24:6-7 And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 2Th 2:32Th 2:8 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way. 1Jn 4:32Ti 2:17-18Rev 17:71Jn 2:18Act 20:29Rev 17:5Col 2:18-231Ti 3:16 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival. 2Th 2:3Rev 19:20-21Isa 11:4Rev 20:10Rev 19:15Dan 7:10-11Rev 2:16Tit 2:13
The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, Mat 24:24Rev 19:20Eph 2:22Co 11:3Jhn 4:48Mrk 13:22Deu 13:1-2Act 13:10 and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 1Co 1:18Pro 1:72Co 4:2-32Pe 2:12Jhn 8:45-47Rom 16:181Co 16:22Eph 4:14 For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, Rom 1:28Jhn 12:39-431Ti 4:1Mat 24:11Psa 81:11-12Ezk 21:29Rom 1:21-251Th 2:3 in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness. Rom 1:32Rom 8:7-8Mrk 16:16Rom 2:81Th 5:92Pe 2:13-15Hos 7:3Jhn 3:36
