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 24:4-5 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming 'I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many."
Mark 13:22 "For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
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 2:8-10 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
