2 Thessalonians 2:3

The Great Apostasy

1 Now, brethren, ^aconcerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ^band our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

2 ^anot to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of¹ Christ had come.

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come ^aunless the falling away comes first, and ^bthe man of sin is revealed, ^cthe son of perdition,

4 who opposes and ^aexalts himself ^babove all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits¹ as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.

7 For ^athe mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only² He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, ^awhom the Lord will consume ^bwith the breath of His mouth and destroy ^cwith the brightness of His coming.

9 The coming of the lawless one is ^aaccording to the working of Satan, with all power, ^bsigns, and lying wonders,

10 and with all unrighteous deception among ^athose who perish, because they did not receive ^bthe love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And ^afor this reason God will send them strong delusion, ^bthat they should believe the lie,
