8 And then that lawless one will be revealed—whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming—
9 whose coming is in accord with the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,
10 and with all the deception of unrighteousness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
11 And for this reason God sends upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,
12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:8–12, LSB)
The lawless one will be revealed. Jesus will slay him. He will come from Satan with false signs and wonders.
The unrighteous will perish because they reject and will not receive the love of the truth. Those who believe and receive truth will be saved.
For those who reject truth God is sending a delusion and it will make them believe what is false because they are rejecting. Those will be judged because they took pleasure in unrighteousness.
God, help me love truth. I see that I am still under a cloud sometimes not accepting my utter dependence and my pride makes me think I am more than I am. Help me fall in love with truth, see truth, speak truth, be truth in your power and gentleness. I need grace. Help me. Amen. I do not want to be lost, I want to be saved and live with you!
