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.
