9 The 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.
No great take today. Just an admission of being scared by this line. I don't need to be presented with an attractive lie. I'm not that smart. These kind of statements make me feel a little unsettled.
I guess we make sure we are grounded in what the good book says, and we should be fine.

11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie.
ReplyDeleteThis one bugged me because it seemed odd that God would try to deceive us, which is how I first read it. Doing a little looking, others had the same question. But what I see is that its not that he is deluding us but it rather its for people that have heard the truth but refuse to believe. So if you don't want to believe in me then here it is, go ahead an believe in this lie I'll serve it up to you.
so i don't think you or I have to worry about being fooled, this anti-christ is not for us--we believe in Jesus Christ. just my take
