2 Thessalonians 2:9-11

9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan awith all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for bthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore cGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe dwhat is false,

1 Timothy 4:1-3

Some Will Depart from the Faith

1Now ethe Spirit expressly says that fin later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to gdeceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2through the insincerity of hliars whose consciences are seared, 3 iwho forbid marriage and jrequire abstinence from foods kthat God created lto be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

2 Timothy 3:1-6

Godlessness in the Last Days

1But understand this, that min the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2For people will be nlovers of self, olovers of money, pproud, qarrogant, abusive, rdisobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 sheartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, tnot loving good, 4treacherous, reckless, uswollen with conceit, vlovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having the appearance of godliness, but wdenying its power. xAvoid such people. 6For among them are ythose who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,

2 Peter 2:1-3

False Prophets and Teachers

1But zfalse prophets also arose among the people, aajust as there will be false teachers among you, who will absecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master acwho bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth adwill be blasphemed. 3And aein their greed they will exploit you afwith false words. agTheir condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

1 John 4:1-3

Test the Spirits

1Beloved, ahdo not believe every spirit, but aitest the spirits to see whether they are from God, for ajmany akfalse prophets alhave gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: amevery spirit that confesses that anJesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3and every spirit aothat does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and apnow is in the world already.

Revelation of John 16:14

14For they are aqdemonic spirits, arperforming signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, asto assemble them for battle on atthe great day of God the Almighty.
