Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.


Key word......................perdition. Who was the son of perdition? Figure that out and then you will know. The lawless one doesn't do it justice and it will take some O.T. search to know who it is.

We have been operating in the beast system for a very long time. But seeing through illusions is not easy.
