2 THESSALONIANS 2:9.

By J. S. Maxson

THE second chapter of Second Thessalonians is devoted mostly to the coming of the Lord, and the signs that will precede that all-important event.
First, the apostle assures the brethren that the day of Christ will not come until the man of sin is revealed, in his time (A.D. 538), "whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming." Verse 8.
Omitting the supplied words, "even him," we read, "Whose [the Lord's] coming is after [following] the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish." Verses 9, 10. This passage is only one of many that set forth the trying circumstances through which the people of God will pass just before Jesus comes to deliver them.
