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, 12in order that all may be condemned ewho did not believe the truth but fhad pleasure in unrighteousness.

Revelation of John 17:13
