WPNT(i)
3 Don’t let anyone deceive you by any means; because that day cannot come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of sin is revealed, the son of ruin,
4 who opposes and exalts himself over everything that is called a god or an object of worship, to the point of taking his seat as God in God’s sanctuary, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 (Don’t you remember that I used to tell you these things while still with you?)
6 So now you know what is restraining, to the end that he may be revealed at his own time.
7 For the mystery of the lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He removes Himself.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and abolish by the splendor of His coming;
9 that one’s coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 and with all wicked deception among those who are wasting themselves, because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved.
