2 Thessalonians 2 Are you with God or satanists and witches?

5 Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you? 6And you know what is now restraining him, so that he will be revealed at the proper time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and abolish by the majesty of His arrival.
9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie, 12in order that judgment will come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

Paul thought it important to reveal to the new Christians the prophecy of the end times, the 2nd coming of Christ. The Holy Spirit is restraining the lawless one.

David Guzik commentary states:
e. And then the lawless one will be revealed: Paul states two certain facts about the man of sin, here called the lawless one. First, it is certain that the lawless one will be revealed when the Holy Spirit removes His restraint. Second, it is certain that the lawless one will be destroyed by the mere brightness of Jesus at His coming.

"i. Paul probably has Isaiah 11:4 in mind: He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. The Isaiah passage refers to the LORD - to Yahweh - but Paul freely used it of Jesus, recognizing that Jesus is Yahweh."

a. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan: The Antichrist will come with power, with signs and with lying wonders. But all of this is according to the working of Satan, as described in Revelation 13:13-17.

i. If someone has spiritual power, signs, or wonders, those are not enough to prove they are from God. Satan can perform his own powerful works, either through deception or through his own resources of power.

ii. "He is Satan's messiah, an infernal caricature of the true messiah." (Moffatt)

I would have liked to have posted the rest of the commentary but it would be long, I beg your to finish reading it at the link below.

As we get older and more mature we see more lawlessness, more crime and more hatred. Recently in the news there were protestors protesting our president which included satanists and witches worldwide calling for spells and hexes on our president. The word of God tells us He appoints kings and rulers and those who are against them oppose God.
Are you with God or satanists and witches?

Blessings, David
