DELIGHTED IN WICKEDNESS / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:12

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

DELIGHTED IN WICKEDNESS / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:12

Delighting in things that offend God, rejecting His standards of truth and purity and refusing to accept and love the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10) will be the deciding factor in God’s judgment in the last days.

  1. Those who reject God’s truth, participate in evil and entertain themselves with immorality (2 Timothy 3:1) are destined to experience God’s wrath (His justified anger, judgment and punishment). They will be “given over” to demonic deception and controlled by the power of darkness and evil (Luke 23:35; Romans 1:32; 1 Timothy 4:1).
  2. Those experiencing God’s condemning judgment during the “day of the Lord: (2 Thessalonians 2:2) will include not only unbelievers (those who never accepted Christ’s forgiveness and entrusted their lives to Him), but also those who have turned from and rejected the faith they one had in Christ. They chose to enjoy sin instead of enjoying God. They refused to take a stand against ungodliness and, as a result, are swept along with the tide of wickedness in the world in the last days (2 Thessalonians 2:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:7; 2 Timothy 4:3-4).

SENDS THEM A POWERFUL DELUISION / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:11

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

SENDS THEM A POWERFUL DELUISION / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:11

After God’s restraining influence is “taken out of the way” (2 Thessalonians 2:8) and the lawless one is revealed, people who have “refused to love the truth and so be saved” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10) will come under “a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie” (Romans 1:25). As a result, they will be eternally lost (without hope of spiritual salvation, eternally separated from God).

  1. These people will consist of all those inside or outside the church who, after adequately hearing the truth of God’s Word, have intentionally refused to love the truth and have chosen instead to delight in the world’s wickedness (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10; 2 Thessalonians 2:12).
  2. God will give these people over (Romans 1:24, 26, 28) to a powerful delusion, or deception, so that they never again have an opportunity to believe the truth they refused to accept and love (2 Thessalonians 2:12). They are forever doomed to believe “the lie” (the claims of the lawless one and the deception of Satan). 
  3. God sending the “powerful delusion” is part of His judgment on those who reject the truth. It is His assurance that they “will be condemned” (2 Thessalonians 2:12). For those who have heard and understood God’s Word yet have not loved its truth but have chosen instead to delight in wickedness and pursue the pleasure of sin, “no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment” (Hebrews 10:26-27).
  4. The opportunity for spiritual salvation during the tribulation period (after Christ has taken His followers out of the world) will be offered to those living during that time who have not yet had an adequate opportunity to hear and understand the message of Christ (Revelation 7:14; Revelation 11:3: Revelation 14:6-7). Those who proclaim the message of Christ during those days may include the 144,000 from the tribes of Israel (Revelation 7:4), the two witnesses (Revelation 11:3) and the angels (Revelation 14:6).

WHOM THE LORD JESUS WILL OVERTHROW / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:8

After Satan and the man of lawlessness have done their work of deceit and evil (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10), they will be overthrown by Christ’s coming to earth and the end of the tribulation (Revelation 19:20).

SECRET POWER OF LAWLESSNESS IS ALREADY AT WORK / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:7

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

SECRET POWER OF LAWLESSNESS IS ALREADY AT WORK / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:7

The “secret power of lawlessness” (or spirit of rebellion) is a behind-the-scenes activity of evil powers that has operated throughout the course of human history, preparing the way for the complete rebellion and the man of lawlessness.

  1. It is a completely evil and skillfully destructive process that deceives and entraps those who reject Christ and do not accept God’s complete truth. It also prepares many within the church to turn from true faith and to accept the lies that will be increasingly common in some elements of the church. It involves a spirit or movement against true Biblical faith and God’s moral law. It seeks freedom from all moral restraint, and it takes pleasure in all forms of rebellious behavior against God (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).
  2. Though this spirit already existed in Paul’s day, it will be especially prevalent in the world – and in Christianity – in the end times (Matthew 24:11; 2 Timothy 4:3-4).

WHAT IS HOLDING HIM BACK / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:6

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

WHAT IS HOLDING HIM BACK / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:6

Something, or someone (God’s restraining influence through the Holy Spirit and the church), is holding back the man of lawlessness. When that restraint is taken out of the way, or lifted, then the day of the Lord will begin (2 Thessalonians 2:7).

THAT DAY WILL NOT COME UNTIL / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:3

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

THAT DAY WILL NOT COME UNTIL / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3

Paul explains the events that will signal the beginning of “the day of the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 5:2). He also refers to the destruction of the man of lawlessness and to the spiritual rebellion and ungodliness that will increase in the end times. The sequence of events is as follows:

  1. Throughout the entire church age (following Christ’s resurrection and ascension back to heaven [or some say from Pentecost, Acts 2] to the time when He takes His faithful followers from the earth), a “secret power of lawlessness” (2 Thessalonians 2:7) is at work, reminding us that the end is coming. Evil will become increasingly unrestrained (held back less and less) as history draws to a close.
  2. As that power becomes stronger, spiritual rebellion and abandonment of faith in the church will reach major proportions (2 Thessalonians 2:3; Matthew 24:12; 2 Timothy 4:3-4).
  3. The restrainer (“the one who now holds it back”) of the “secret power” is then taken out of the way (2 Thessalonians 2:6-7). That is to say, any godly restraint against wickedness will be lifted, and evil will be free to take an even greater toll on the people of the earth. This will likely happen at the same time as faithful believers in the church are being taken from the world. 
  4. Next, “the man of lawlessness” – the antichrist – is revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, 7, 9-10).
  5. The apostasy (spiritual rebellion and faithlessness) reaches its climax in total rebellion against God and His Word. Because they reject Him, “God sends a powerful delusion” (2 Thessalonians 2:11), allowing people to come under the influence of extreme deception “so that they will believe the lie” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-11).
  6. Later, the man of lawlessness is destroyed, along with all “who have delighted in wickedness” (2 Thessalonians 2:12); this occurs at Christ’s return to earth after the tribulation period (2 Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 19:20-21).

EASILY UNSETTLED OR ALARMED / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:2

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

EASILY UNSETTLED OR ALARMED / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:2

The Thessalonians were alarmed because of what the false teachers were saying about “the day of the Lord” (2 Thessalonians 2:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:2). He tells them not to worry because the day of God’s wrath – His severe end-time judgments and punishment on the world at large – has not yet arrived. Two things will signal its arrival: 

  1. There must come a specific “rebellion” – both in the church (as many people abandon faith in God) and in the world (as people increasingly reject and rebel against God and His standards).
  2. The “man of lawlessness” will be revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Paul goes on to state that these two events will not be fulfilled until the one who holds it back “is taken out of the way” (2 Thessalonians 2:7).

Paul’s reference to “some prophecy, report or letter” may suggest that the false teaching was being passed on through illegitimate use of the spiritual gifts of tongues and interpretation or through prophecy (1 Corinthians 14:29).

THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:1

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:1

In his first letter to the Thessalonians, Paul assured all true followers of Christ that they would be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and thus they would be with their Lord forever (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). The apostle was describing the event that would save them from God’s coming wrath, or judgment, on the earth (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:10). Now however, false teachers were claiming that “the day of the Lord” (2 Thessalonians 2:2; the period of God’s end-time judgments on the earth, ending with His return to reign on earth) had already begun and that God’s final wrath was being poured out on the earth.

THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO HIM / EXODUS 6:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Exodus 6:9

And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO HIM / EXODUS 6:9

God did not bring Israel out of Egypt because they had great faith, but because of His grace – undeserved favor – and His faithfulness to His promises (Genesis 17:1-8; 50:24). At first, their faith was weak. But as God revealed His power and concern for them through the ten plagues on Egypt, He built up their faith until they were able to trust Him and were ready to obey (Exodus 12:28). That is to say, God rescued them by grace through faith – the same way Jesus now saves people spiritually (Ephesians 2:8-9).

I WILL TAKE YOU AS MY OWN PEOPLE AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD / EXODUS 6:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Exodus 6:7

 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

I WILL TAKE YOU AS MY OWN PEOPLE AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD / EXODUS 6:7

Exodus 6:6-7 describes the most important meaning and purpose of Israel’s exodus (mass departure) from Egypt and the covenant they received from God at Sinai (Exodus 19:5). The Lord promises to resume Israel from bondage (Exodus 6:6), adopt them as His people (Exodus 6:7) and be their God (Exodus 6:7). In return, the people promised to do the will of their Redeemer – the One who had saved them (Exodus 19-23).

  1. These verses emphasize that Israel was helpless to overcome the power that enslaved them. Only God could free them (Exodus 6:5-6). Because of God’s love of His people and His covenant with their forefathers, He would certainly set them free (Exodus 6:6-8; Deuteronomy 7:7-8).
  2. Israel’s release from Egypt by God’s power represented the transfer of the ownership of Israel to God Himself. The people of Israel belonged to God Himself. The people of Israel belonged to God because He created them, chose them (Exodus 4:22) and then redeemed them – brought them back – out of slavery.
  3. Israel’s redemption (rescue, liberation) from Egypt was a sign of how Jesus would provide redemption – spiritual salvation and freedom – for the sinful human race through His death on the cross. All those who accept Christ’s sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin and trust Him to lead their lives are set free from the power of Satan, sin and the world. They now belong to God and can trust His love and promises.
