2 Thessalonians 2:3-10

Living_Oracles(i) 3 Let no one lead you into a mistake by any means; because the apostasy must first appear, and the man of sin, the son of perdition, must be first revealed, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every one called a god, or an object of worship; so that he places himself in the temple of God, openly exhibiting himself, that he is a god. 5 Do you not remember that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And you know what now prevents his being revealed until his proper time. 7 For already the mystery of iniquity secretly works, only till he who now restrains, be taken out of the way; 8 and then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume by the spirit of his mouth-with the brightness of his coming, 9 he will, indeed, utterly destroy him, whose coming is according to the energy of Satan, with all the power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood; 10 and with all the deceit of unrighteousness among the destroyed; because they did not embrace the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
