BLB(i)
3 No one should deceive you in any way, because it is not until the apostasy shall have come first, and the man of lawlessness shall have been revealed—the son of destruction,
4 the one opposing and exalting himself above every so-called god or object of worship—so as for him to sit down in the temple of God, setting forth that he himself is God.
5 Do you not remember that, being yet with you, I was saying these things to you?
6 And now you know that which is restraining for his being revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is working already; there is only the one at present restraining it, until he might be gone out of the midst.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of His mouth and will annul by the appearing of His coming,
9 whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in every power, and in signs, and in wonders of falsehood,
10 and in every deception of wickedness unto those perishing, in return for which they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.
