RELIGION AND POLITICS WILL BE AMALGAMATED. As there was insurrection in heaven there will also be insurrection in the religious world. That dear, sweet man. Handsome beyond words. Man of charisma, deeply religious. Highly intelligent. A leader in the church world. But in his heart is the same rebellious spirit that was manifest in the pre-eternitys, when Satan fell. It was seen again in Judas and is set to take place one more time. He and those who follow after him are the <falling away>. The great rebellion that will usher in the last days and subsequent events. HE MUST COME FIRST. He is the man of lawlessness. That spirit is becoming more and more evident in our world today. We think that we can rid the world of terrorists when the greatest of all terrorist is yet to come. He is THE man of sin. He is everything that sin can produce. The apex of wickedness and unrighteousness. He is the man who is doomed to destruction and will lead all who believe in him and follow him into eternal damnation. 2 Thes.2:3b
LOOK AT HIM, TAKE A GOOD LOOK. He is a repugnant, argumentative man with a spirit of opposition. Oh, how that spirit rules in our world even at this time. He is a man of great pride. He will be the king of the HOW TO circuit. He is convinced that he is very God and will present himself in such a manner. He will be the object of worship during the tribulation period. His goal is the same as his father, the devil. Isa.14:13-14 He will exalt HIMSELF over every god that is worshipped. Presenting himself as God, he will sit in the temple of God, manifesting, proclaiming himself to be God. The New testament saint is the temple of God. 1 Cor.3:16 If that temple is defiled God will destroy Him. v.17 The antichrist is to emerge from the church. He too has a parousia or a spectacular coming. 2 Thes.2:9 He will work the fulness of the works of unrighteousness.Because of the willingness of people to follow the antichrist. God will send strong delusion and they will believe the lies presented by the antichrist.2 Thes. 2:9-11 Today, in the church, there is that element that is displaying the same attitude that is found in Lucifer and Judas. He will soon have an opportunity to do his thing and manifest his true spirit. Keep your spirit in the love of Christ.
THE WICKED ONE WILL HAVE HIS MOMENT OF REVELATION. Revelation is a frightening word to some. If Christ is in us we have already received a revelation from Him. We can only know the Son of God as the Spirit reveals Him in us, as with Paul. Gal. 1:15-16 The Second Coming of Christ is to be a moment of revelation. He will be revealed as He comes with His mighty angels from heaven. 2 Thes. 1:7 Prior to the revelation of Christ at His Second Coming, there is a false revelation. The pseudo revelation is not without manifestation and powers that are intended to impress those who may be deceived. 2 Thes.1: 8-11 The antichrist, after he has run his course, will be destroyed by the Second Coming of Christ. Antichrist will be defeated by the spirit of the mouth of Christ, or the sword of the Spirit, the Word of the mouth of Christ. Note, the sword is to smite the nations. Rev. 19:15 Likewise the antichrist will be destroyed by the brightness (epiphaneia, a manifestation, appearing or specifically the advent of Christ).
