‏ 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10

v. 8: “Then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.”(2 Thessalonians 2:8 ^a). When this evil one is finally revealed, Jesus will destroy him completely at His return. Christ’s power and presence will be enough to defeat him.

v. 9: This “man of sin” will come after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. He will deceive people by pretending to do miracles, just as Satan tries to trick people with false signs.

v. 10: He will use all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved(2 Thessalonians 2:10 ^b). Many will be fooled because they did not really love the truth or want to be saved. Their unbelief and love for sin make them easy to deceive.
