2 Thessalonians 2:6-10 So now you know the power that is holding him back, that he is to be unveiled at His own appointed time.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ So now you know the power that is holding him back, that he is to be unveiled at His own appointed time. ⁷ For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work, but only until he who is holding it back has been gotten out of the way. ⁸ Then the representative of lawlessness will be uncovered, and the Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of His mouth and put a stop to his operations by His appearance and coming; ⁹ that is, the representative of lawlessness, whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan, with his plenitude of power and pretended signs and wonders, ¹⁰ and with a completely wicked deception for men who are on the way to destruction, because they refused to love the truth so as to be saved.
