The coming of the
lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all
sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the
lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.
They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For
this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe
the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the
truth but have delighted in wickedness.
For this reason God sends them
Romans 1:28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
a powerful delusion
Matthew 24:5 "For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many."
Mark 13:5 Jesus said to them, "Watch out that no one deceives you."
so that they will believe the lie
Romans 1:25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen.
and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness
Romans 1:32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 2:8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
