Wowww, excellent EXCELLENT unpacking. As usual, that is. Can you also do one on who/WHAT is restraining the man of lawlessness, as you mentioned from the passage? Is it the Holy Spirit restraining him? Or it is someone/something else?

[@sunnyjohnson992]

It was the restraining force of the apostles! Their presence, with their powerful gifts bestowed by Holy Spirit, prevented apostasy from then becoming an epidemic. But when the apostles died by the end of the first century, the restraining brakes were removed.

[@maxaplin4204]

John Piper is absolutely right that the man of lawlessness will perform real supernatural miracles (by the power of Satan).

Antichrist and remnant (excerpt from Our Lord's dictations to Maria Valtorta given on 1/25/1944, Notebooks 1944, pp. 109-110): "The Antichrist will be perfection of Horror, as I was perfection of Perfection. With his numberless weapons, symbolized by the ten horns, his jaws toothed with iron, his savage feet, and his small horn, he will torment beyond measure those who, small faithful flock, will remain My followers. The small horn is a symbol of extreme hatred with which Satan will endow his son to corrupt the humanity as he seduces it with his lying mouth, having himself worshipped as a god. The little horn will grow by the hour to do harm. His satanic intelligence will grow to make the mouth tell the most disturbing lies and he will grow in power, as I grew in Wisdom and Grace, armed with eyes to read the thoughts of holy people and kill them for that thought. Oh, My saints of end times! If the life of the early ones amidst the persecutions of paganism was heroic, 3 times, 7 times, and 7 times 7 times heroic will be the life of My last saints to face those torments as the darkness overwhelms them on all sides and Deceit tries to persuade them to worship it and believe in it. He will curse God as no son of man did, trample upon God's saints, and torture Christ's Church. He, the son of the union of demoniac pride and human lust, will think 'he can do great things and change the times and laws,' and, for 3.5 years, will be Horror reigning over the world. Then, the Father will say 'Enough' before the immense choir formed in Heaven; the wicked Beast will be slain and cast into the abyss along with all the lesser beasts to remain there with Satan, their begetter, for eternity. I shall then be called by the Father to 'judge the living and the dead' as stated in the Creed. The living, who preserved Life in themselves by having kept Grace and Faith alive, will inherit 'the kingdom, the power, and the majesty of God.' The spiritually dead will receive eternal death as their will has chosen. Come, oh people, to the Fount of Life! I open its source to you. Draw from it. Fortify yourselves in it to be fearless in trials. Immerse yourselves completely in it, in Me, the source of blessedness, in the lovely Paradise which My Father has created for you and in which the Threefold Love of the One God and the Purity of 'our' Mother awaits you."

>> Who is the father of the son of perdition? The son is a man who is empowered by his father, Lucifer (a spirit). According to Isaiah 14:14, the latter wants to ascend above the heights of the clouds and be like the Most High. >> Why are the father and son of perdition not deterred by the fact that he will be cast to the underworld for his act and why does the falling away (loss of faith) have to happen first? Lucifer has his own plan, which is stipulated in Isaiah 14:12-15. Lucifer is a clever spirit and has a backup plan as he understands that there is a high probability that he will fail. This is why the first part has to be achieved before he acts. Those falling away (losing faith) will lose salvation and will serve him in the underworld so that he does not need to suffer. 8. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendour of his coming. Meaning Jesus destroys the lawless one with words only. 9. The satan uses his usual trick, lie. The satan will try to discredit the event in verse 8 with another of its lies or science theories. 11. Because they are wicked God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie (aka science theory). So don’t try to convince any scientist about what will happen to the lawless one. Just admire God’s work.

[@jonathanharness2962]

The word imminent means “likely to happen at any moment; impending.” When we speak of the imminence of Christ’s return, we mean that He could come back at any moment. There is nothing more in biblical prophecy that needs to happen before Jesus comes again. The imminence of Christ’s return is generally taught among evangelicals, with some disagreement according to one’s view of dispensationalism and whether one holds a pre-, mid-, or post-tribulational view of the rapture. Jesus spoke of His return repeatedly during His ministry, which naturally prompted questions from His disciples. One of their questions was, “When will these things happen?” (Mark 13:4). Jesus responded, “Of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come” (verses 32-33). It is important to remember in any discussion of eschatology that God does not intend for us to fully understand the timing of His plans. However, the Bible says that Jesus’ return is near, and we are to wait eagerly for it (Romans 8:19-25; 1 Corinthians 1:7; Philippians 4:5; Jude 21). James encourages us to “be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near” (James 5:8). Revelation 1:3 and 22:10 also say that “the time is near.” Jesus taught His disciples to watch for His return. “You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him” (Luke 12:40). The command to “be ready” implies imminence. Throughout the New Testament, the church is told to be ready (Philippians 3:20; Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:6). If the disciples and the early church were to expect the coming of the Lord at any time, how much more should we be waiting in keen expectation? At this point, it is good to distinguish between the second coming of Christ, proper, and the rapture of the church. The second coming of Christ, when He defeats His enemies and sets up His kingdom, will not occur until after certain other end-times events take place, including the tribulation (Matthew 24:15-30; Revelation chapters 6-18). Therefore, the second coming is not imminent. However, according to the pre-tribulational view, the rapture will take place before the tribulation. The rapture could occur at any moment (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54) and can rightly be called “imminent.” Our salvation is “ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:5). Jesus could return for His own at any moment, and that event will set in motion the series of events detailed in Revelation 6-18. Like the five wise virgins in Jesus’ parable (Matthew 25:1-13), we must be ready. “Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour” (Matthew 25:13).

[@BloodCovenant]

There is no secret pre-trib coming of Christ. Jesus said to consider the days of Noah. Then he illustrated immediately afterward "one taken one left". When looking at the days of Noah in Genesis we know the wicked were taken and Noah and his family were left. There is one last trumpet and one 2nd coming. That one second coming no man knows the day of the hour. Do not be deceived. The pre-trib rapture is a western church fantasy that was started by Darby and popularized by Scofield of the Scofield Bible and later Finis Dake who read Scofield and ran with the theory in the Dakes Bible.

[@maxaplin4204]

Until the 1830s all Christians believed that the rapture would take place when Jesus returns, not a few years before. To separate these things is unbiblical and a big mistake.

[@BloodCovenant]

@@maxaplin4204 Agreed. I used to think it is not a big deal to believe in a pre-trib rapture because God knows who are his 2Ti 2:19. It is true that he knows who are his but it is also true that bad doctrine can be the ruin of those who name the name of Christ. A few weeks ago in Sunday school, I brought up how the way God deals with nations is the same in both testaments. Nothing has changed. Then I began to explain that God always takes credit for plagues, famines, and droughts and the reason for them is always the same. They are a result of defying him and also a mercy to point those with ears to hear back to him. The Sunday school teacher immediately refuted what I said by saying that the judgment of God won't happen until after the rapture. A person has to be blind to not see the judgment of God upon nations and the USA is included. Lots of NT scripture to back it up too. That was when I realized that believing in pre-trib fantasy is actually dangerous.

Jesus can come for His Church any day. We are not a part of the tribulation because of the rapture. The doctrine that teaches He can come at any second is true. The word imminent means “likely to happen at any moment; impending.” When we speak of the imminence of Christ’s return, we mean that He could come back at any moment. There is nothing more in biblical prophecy that needs to happen before Jesus comes again.

[@maxaplin4204]

@@jonathanharness2962 You are making a big mistake. Here are a few points: (1) The idea that the church will miss out on the tribulation conflicts with Scripture, not least with Mark 13:19-20: 'For those will be days of tribulation, the kind that hasn’t been from the beginning of creation until now and never will be again. If the Lord had not cut those days short, no one would be saved. But he cut those days short for the sake of the elect, whom he chose.' (CSB) This strongly implies that the elect, i.e., the saved, will be on earth suffering during the tribulation. (2) The Bible doesn't teach that Jesus will return twice, once to the air above the earth and a second time to the earth proper. There is no evidence from church history that anyone believed this before the 1830s, which strongly suggests it is a mistake. (3) It is true that the Bible teaches a kind of imminence, but this needs to be qualified to some extent. You quote Luke 12:40, but this obviously didn't mean that the return of Jesus was immediately imminent at the time the words were first spoken, because Jesus was still on earth with the disciples at the time. He could hardly return before he had left earth. Nor can we say that the words became immediately imminent once Jesus had ascended to heaven, because that would contradict other biblical passages. Compare Luke 12:40 with John 21:18: 'Truly I tell you, when you were younger, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don’t want to go.' (CSB) This verse is clear that Peter would need to grow old, which shows that the imminence of Luke 12:40 didn't become an immediate imminence even after Jesus had ascended to heaven. And to say that the words became immediately imminent at the moment Peter died or at the moment the last apostle died is arbitrary. It is clear, then, that the imminence of passages like Luke 12:40 can't be taken too strictly or immediately. (4) I do believe that end-times events could unfold very quickly. I think that is what passages like Luke 12:40 suggest. But Jesus will return once, after the tribulation, and this won't happen until the man of lawlessness has been revealed.

[@troywright359]

@@maxaplin4204 1. that means people will stilll come to faith during the tribulation when the church is removed. elect will still be saved. 2. The Bible does mention us meeting Him in the air, I think this what those who believe in the rapture are referring to. Not that their are two final second comings, but there is a meeting of Lord Jesus for the current believers when the rapture happens, which is different from the Second Coming of ~Jesus - His return to the actual earth. 3.Well....yes you're right, there is often a two fold prophecy, where something is true for the day but also for the future 4. Definitely I agree, 7 years is very very quick in relative to the rest of human history

[@maxaplin4204]

@@troywright359 A few points in reply to your reply to me: (1) I do see how your point about people coming to faith during the tribulation makes my appeal to Mark 13:19-20 less impressive than I thought it was. However, I still think this passage most naturally suggests that God won't remove any of the elect prior to the tribulation. And I am convinced for other reasons anyway that this won't happen. No one believed this before the 1830s. (2) Yes, those who believe in the pre-tribulation rapture are referring to us meeting him in the air, as per 1 Thess 4:17. They believe this will happen a few years before Jesus' return to the earth proper. But 1 Thess 4:15 refers to this meeting in the air as a 'coming' of Christ. So, by biblical definitions, they do believe in 2 comings of Jesus. (3) I agree that biblical prophecies often have two layers of fulfilment. But that wasn't the point I was making. I don't believe, for example, that the verse I cited, Luke 12:40, will be fulfilled twice, but just once when Jesus returns. My point was that although, at first sight, this verse looks as if what it prophesies could have happened imminently from the moment it was spoken, it actually couldn't have. We know that Jesus had to die and rise first and that Peter had to grow old before it could imminently be fulfilled. But I would suggest that another thing that has to happen first is that the man of lawlessness has to be revealed. Those who believe in a pre-trib rapture will often point to the apparently imminent language of verses like this one and use these verses as proof texts that Jesus could return (to the air, in their view) at any moment. But this is far too simplistic.

[@seanc2788]

Technically that is correct. He returns to the earth and sets his foot down at the end of the 7 year Tribulation. He defeats the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet and throws them into the lake of fire. Then he binds Satan for a 1,000 years. So we can put a date on the calendar for when Jesus will return. The day that we see the Anti-Christ make a peace treaty with Israel, you can mark 7 years and Christ will come to rule and reign on earth from that day forward.

Long story short Obama will use what happens to Biden to get back in power.

[@MrPatdeeee]

"Who Is the Man of Lawlessness?" And kind Sir...you said in your "foreword"...So today, we approach this topic of the man of lawlessness. Here’s one representative email from many: “Pastor John, my name is Jared, and I live in San Jose, California. I was reading through my Bible and recently came across the section about ‘the man of lawlessness’ in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. At first, I assumed this man was Satan himself. But it becomes clear in verse 9 that this ‘lawless one’ is ‘by the activity of Satan.’ So, it’s not Satan. In your estimation, who is this lawless man?” Thus, I believe the answer is quite simple; of whom the "Lawless man" was and is. Please follow along: 1. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Represents one God 2. The Heart, the soul and the mind. Represents every Human. (And the "Image" of God) 3. The devil. the beast and the False Prophet. (who was Lucifer named satan-A "fallen angel") So this list just shows 3 "SAMES". Yet untold items are called by different names since Creation. Yet they are one and the same. Car, automobile and my Go-buggy, etc!. So...Jesus said he WAS the Father; when he chastised Phillip. And later, in essence, He said He was the Holy Spirit at the "Transfiguration". And He told them, "Don't touch me because He was converting back to a Spirit at His ascension, to enter the Heaven again... Plus, He said He was God; when He said "Obey MY commandments"; yet the bible says; that God gave Moses the 10 Commandments. So was Jesus Lying? Heavens no! Because God had many different names. "Elohim, YHWH" and Yeshua in Hebrew 2,000 yrs ago. But "Jesus" in English. YET exactly the same! I could go on forever; showing where something is described and named; by different names. Thus. this makes our bible; extremely difficult to understand "who is who?" in many cases. Not to mention how many times I have wondered who "he" is' in the beginning of many a verse; in the beginning of a chapter, all over the bible. Yes it can be a real quandary; to say is it "he or him", etc? So the ONLY way; one can make the right answer; is to Pray to Jesus sincerely; asking for Wisdom, understanding and the truth. And His guidance, leading and directing us. For when you do that; you will KNOW that the "Lawless Man" was "satan", who was called Lucifer. Ad-infinitum!

The man of lawlessness is not a man, it is symbolic for New Age spirituality. New Age is rising drastically in our society. “Spiritual awakening” is a very popular term, which is the powerful delusion that the Bible talks about. And it indeed a delusion as powerful as the Bible describes, enough for one to believe that he is awakened, transcended, and has become his own God, apart from Jesus’s law. New Age spirituality is clearly the man of lawlessness.

The Man of Sin aka the Lawless One is the Little Horn of Daniel 7 who thinks to change times and Law and persecutes the Saints. The Law is the Torah so he is the Torah-less one and the Mystery of Lawlessness = the Mystery of Torah-lessness and the Apostasy or falling away. Most modern Christians already follow him and the TORAHLESS doctrine like the Law has been done away with. The Law defines sin, transgress the Law then you commit sin so most Christians are already under his false doctrine aka drunk the Wine of Babylon. Do you keep the Sabbath or do SUN day? How about the Passover given to Israel or do you do Catholic Easter? Which one did Jesus do? Do you follow Jesus or the Pope? Where is Christ Mass in the scripture? Is it pagan or Biblical? Decorating trees in your home and all that other pagan witchcraft associated with that season? Gods holy days are eternal, they are part of creation in Genesis 1 and explained in Leviticus 23. This man of sin was identified by almost every Protestant Reformer like 500 years ago but most continued follow his teaching instead of Jesus, I mean Rabbi Yeshua ha Mashiach.

The antichrist/the man of lawlessness is not a 'man' - singular. The phrase, 'man of lawlessness' etc, is the use of a descriptive device known as 'personification'. Also, Rev 12:18 is not referring to 'a' singular man. There is no 'a' in the Greek text. It should be translated as man/mankind/humankind. Some translations have correctly ascribed it this way, though not many. This error has been propergated through erroneous tradition. It is mankind/humankind - a united kingdom of man, himself, as at Babel, united in rebellion against God the Creator and his Messiah. 2 Thess 2:4, 'He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God' is speaking metaphorically. It is to say that he man/mankind will think himself superior to everything, his version of what is truth opposes the Word of God. The keys are given in the book of Revelation itself. *It is a kingdom 'which once was (at Babel), now is not (at John's time of writing) but will come again (in the last days), Rev 17:11. *It is the kingdom that is 'an eighth kingdom, which belongs to the seven'. The seven is the chronological complete beast of Gentile kingdoms which were prphesied to come, through Daniel, and unite the world in rebellion (apostasia) to God as first attempted at Babel where God said, if they be united like this, as one, nothing will be impossible for them. It is the resurrected kingdom of Babel, signifed by being assigned the number eight, since the number eight represents resurrection, a one world government where mankind becomes his own lord and master of his own destiny. *It is the kingdom 'which was wounded by the sword, yet lived', when God went to Babel and 'wounded man/mankind's effort to unite, as one, by confusing his language and dispersing him over the face of the earth. Man/kind has his own gospel to preach to the world, which opposes the Word of God; liberty, equality and fraternity, apart from God. His gospel blasphemes the Word of God calling it archaic, barbaric and even unrighteous. The word of man purports to save humankind apart from God and his Christ, Jesus.

The 1st Beast is straight forward as we demanded & got from Rome God's Messiah Son's crucifixion/ murder HE sent to redeem us. HE has turned HIS Face from us since [WW2 suffering of Judah is proof] & will continue to do so until we repent & accept Our Messiah. This is the Beast that came 'out of the [Mediterranean] SEA' in 1947 official 1948 & the Beast that the elect are fooled & follow after believing them to be Israel returned but actually just 1/12th- Judah.

Hypothetically, Mahdi rallies the army of the black flags from Khorasan and conquers Jerusalem, becoming the most powerful dictator in history - who would resist him if he then claimed to be Allah in the flesh to boot? Alternatively, we interpret it differently in light of Daniel's claim that he will "honour a god of fortresses," possibly connected to the prostration to him as a god a la Daniel 3. Of course, I'm open to other options but I see no better fit for "god of fortresses" than Allah.

It's very possible that Muslims would behave in the same manner towards Imam Mahdi without crossing their spoken theological boundaries that are in reality abandoned in open worship of Mohammed today. Regardless, it's difficult to see what religious system could replace Islam and yet be more perfectly antichrist than Islam, which has been from its inception merely a polemic against the foundational doctrines of Christianity.

Union of minds, therefore, requires, together with a perfect accord in the one faith, complete submission and obedience of will to the Church and to the Roman Pontiff, as to God Himself.” (Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical Letter, “On the Chief Duties of Christians as Citizens”, dated January 10, 1890, trans. in The Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII, p. 193 “The Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God and the vicar of God.” Ferraris Ecclesiastical dictionary “All names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” On the Authority of the Councils, book 2, chapter 17 “That the Roman Church never erred, nor will it, according to the Scriptures, ever err.” (Gregory VII, Cesare Baronius, Annales, year 1076, secs. 31-33, vol 17 (1869 ed.), pp. 405, 406, translated) “The Saviour Himself is the door of the sheepfold: ‘I am the door of the sheep.’ Into this fold of Jesus Christ, no man may enter unless he be led by the Sovereign Pontiff; and only if they be united to him can men be saved, for the Roman Pontiff is the Vicar of Christ and His personal representative on earth.” Pope John XXIII in his homily to the Bishops and faithful assisting at his coronation on November 4, 1958 “It was not necessary for the Redeemer to die in order to save the world; a drop of his blood, a single tear, or prayer, was sufficient to procure salvation for all; for such a prayer, being of infinite value, should be sufficient to save not one but a thousand worlds. … And God Himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of His priests, and either not to pardon or to pardon. Were the Redeemer to descend into a church, and sit in a confessional to administer the sacrament of penance, and a priest to sit in another confessional, Jesus would say over each penitent, “Ego te absolve,” the priest would likewise say over each of his penitents, “Ego te absolve,” and the penitents of each would be equally absolved… Thus the priest may, in a certain manner, be called the creator of his Creator, since by saying the words of consecration, he creates, as it were, Jesus in the sacrament, by giving him a sacramental existence, and produces him as a victim to be offered to the eternal Father… let the priest,” says St. Laurence Justinian, “approach the altar as another Christ.” St. Alphonsus Liguori, The Dignities and Duties of the Priest (1927) “All names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that he is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” (Robert Bellarmine, Disputationes de Controversiis, Tom. 2, AControversia Prima, Book 2 (ADe Conciliorum Auctoritate [On the Authority of Councils]), chap. 17 (1628 ed., Vol. 1, p. 266), translated “And God himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of his priest and either not to pardon or to pardon, according as they refuse to give absolution, provided the penitent is capable of it.” Liguori, Duties and Dignities of the Priest, p.27 “This is our last lesson to you: receive it, engrave it in your minds, all of you: by God’s commandment salvation is to be found nowhere but in the Church; the strong and effective instrument of salvation is none other than the Roman Pontificate.” Pope Leo XIII, Allocution for the 25th anniversary of his election, February 20, 1903; Papal Teachings: The Church, Benedictine Monks of Solesmes, St. Paul Editions, Boston, 1962, par. 653 “That all princes should kiss his [the Pope’s] feet only.” (Gregory VII, Cesare Baronius, Annales, year 1076, secs. 31-33, Vol 17 (1869 ed.), pp. 405, 406, translated) “The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth…by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock.

Quoted in Symposium on Revelation, pp. 340-341) “The Roman Pontiff, head of the college of bishops, enjoys this infallibility in virtue of his office, when, as Supreme Pastor and teacher of all the faithful-who confirms his brethren in the faith-he proclaims by a definitive act a doctrine pertaining to faith or morals….The infallibility promised to the Church is also present in the body of bishops when, together with Peter’s successor, ‘they exercise the supreme Magisterium,’ above all in an Ecumenical Council. When the Church through its supreme Magistrium proposes a doctrine ‘for belief as being divinely revealed,’ and as the teaching of Christ, the definitions ‘must be adhered to with the obedience of faith.’ This infallibility extends as far as the deposit of divine revelation itself.” Catechism of the Catholic Church, #891, 1994 edition “O Mary, the guardian of our peace and the dispensatrix of heavenly graces.” Leo XIII, Supremi Apostolatus, 1883 “This judicial authority will even include the power to forgive sin.” The Catholic Encyclopedia Vol xii, article ‘Pope’ pg 265
