The Bible stated that the day of the coming of the Lord would not come unless there is a falling away first and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition. Therefore, we must not be deceived.

This man will oppose and exalted himself above all that is God, or that is worship. He will sit as God in the temple of God, showing himself to be God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3-17)

Who is this man of sin, the son of perdition? Many Bible prophets and scholars claimed that this man is the Antichrist – an ordinary man. Is he already in the world or should you be looking for him?

Paul wrote these words many years ago, and since then, many barbarian world leaders and dictators could be identified as the man of sin, if he is indeed a man. Do you believe he is a man?

I don’t! Paul was prophesying something much bigger than a mere human being. The fact that he predicted it after the resurrection of Christ tied it in with the Book of Revelation. The man of sin will be after the working of Satan with all power, signs and lying wonders.

Anyone who does not love or believe the truth of God’s word will be deceived because God will send a strong delusion on them that they should believe a lie. They all will be condemned (judged) because they believe not the truth but have pleasure in unrighteousness.

Delusion means misconception, fantasy, hallucination. It means people will be living in a fantasy state preferring to believe a lie instead of the truth.

During the captivity of Judah in Babylon, many false prophets told the people that God was going to deliver them from their enemy.

Only Jeremiah prophesied the truth and told them that they would be in bondage for a very long time, so it was best that they try to develop a regular life by building houses, find jobs and continued their life.

However, the people prefer to believe a lie, and they persecuted Jeremiah until he became so frustrated that he decided to stop prophesying because it appeared as if he was only preaching terrible things to the people while the others were telling the people what they wanted to hear.

But, the word of God was like a fire shut up in his bones, and he had to release the word (Jeremiah 20).

Do you recognize the great deception that is present in the world today? If you cannot see it, refresh your mind here.

Many people are under delusion because they refused to believe the truth of God’s word and love the pleasure of this world. All that is in the world is the lust of the flesh and the pride of life.

The Society contains many false prophets who have a platform to preach lies to millions of followers. The real prophets of God are stifled because they can’t get an opportunity to proclaim the actual word of God and when they do, hardly anyone listens or believe.

This situation further clarifies that we are indeed living in the age of deception. Therefore, the man of sin is present in our world. He may very well be in your home. Do you believe this? Ask the Lord to open your eyes so that you can carefully examine the evidence around you.

Those who are called by God and are obedient to His word will not be deluded because we were chosen from the beginning to receive salvation through sanctification by the blood of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit and the belief of truth (2 Thessalonians 2:13).

Therefore, my friends, stand fast, hold the tradition that you were taught whether by word or message. Comfort your heart in the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:15-17).
