That man of sin…II Thessalonians 2:3
“Could it be Satan?”
There has been more speculation and discussions over this mystery of the Bible than any one subject. This man of lawlessness is the epitome of many evils. He lives above the law without any remorse or regret having no morality whatsoever. Who is he?
I think I know who he is!
Before the soon coming of Christ, this man of sin will appear on the scene as a man of peace who will turn into a monster of blasphemies and will have a world at his feet to follow him. The stage is set for this man because of a great exodus of people today beginning to fall away from the truth. Let no man deceive you. There will not be another great awakening. There is coming a time when men will live as if there is no God. That man of sin will be seated in the temple in Jerusalem as God and his ways will be found in every church in the world. That man of sin is wicked. His power to convince and deceive mankind of his lies as truth is almost unthinkable and unbelievable. That is who that man of sin is.
Mark the words of the Bible, that man of sin will be a man. He will live in total defiance of God who is his creator while exalting himself to be a god-man. No, that man of sin is not Satan, but a man who is filled with Satan. He will follow that of his father, the Devil. He will be a murderer and will be a two-fold child of hell. He has a heart, but one that is cold and calloused against anything that has to do for the cause of God or Christ. Remember these words and see if I am not right as to who that man of sin is.
This person has great power and lying wonders which will hold a world audience captive to his eloquent speaking ability. Yet, he is like a wild lion on a chain. He will be restrained by a force until that force is removed. Once the restraining force has been withdrawn, then his true colors will be manifested as being full wickedness and evil. When that happens, look out! This beast of a man will seek to devour all that is of God and called of God. His “gospel” will not be the gospel of good news, but rather one of agnosticism. He will preach that the coming of Christ is a myth and a fairy tale which will draw a thunderous amen from a world who has gone wild after the golden calf. That is who that man of sin is.
This mystery man is known in the Bible as the Antichrist, the son of perdition. His allegiance is to none other than Satan. One who is on target to kill, steal, and to destroy. Before he is destroyed by the brightness of the coming of the Lord, he will have devoured more people in so much that the Holocaust will seem like it never happened. For some strange reason, God will permit billions of people to believe his lies and will forever remain lost in this world and the next. That is who that man of sin is.
L-o-s-t! The most horrible word in any language known of men. The state of all people who have never once believed that Jesus came to die for their sins. Their hearts have never been moved by the sufferings of Christ. They have never experienced a life of overcoming sin and have never witnessed Jesus being part of their lives. Lost, just like that man of sin.
It seems to me if we know who that man of sin is, we should be telling others who JESUS is!
