8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
I didn't get much here but I did like the image of how easily Jesus will dispatch of what I believe is the anti-Christ (correct?) But was also confused to see that God is sending this powerful delusion. what do you make of that?
i typed up a pretty stellar comment yesterday, then hit the button and it didn't save....GGGRRR!
ReplyDeleteThe coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.
This is the verse you are questioning, i think?.....i read it the same way you did the first time. But, when I read it again, I think what its saying is that the Satan will provide illusions that are in accordance with the lawless ones lie. Pretty ugly stuff.
Let's make sure we aren't apart of it!
