In 2 Thessalonians 2:11 it says, “And for this cause GOD shall send them strong delusion that they should believe the lie.” What is that lie people believe ? It is that the man of sin is GOD. The beginning of this chapter focuses on “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” and a deception by the man of sin who, “sits in the temple of GOD showing himself that he is GOD.”
This event is also called “The abomination of Desolation.” Therefore, the people believe this lie and follow the antichrist. Revelation 13:3,4,8 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
This day of the lie is being held back until a specific time and for a specific purpose determined by GOD. This is what 2 Thessalonians 2:6 says, “And now you know what is holding the man of sin event back, so that he may be revealed in his time.” Verses 7 and 8 GOD is holding back the man of sin event until the man of sin is taken out of the way, verse 8, the man of sin will be revealed for who he is and will be taken out of the way by the return of Jesus Christ.
Verses 13-17 assures GODS saints who were chosen from the beginning to be saved by the seal of the Holy Spirit, faith and truth.
The saints are to stand firm in the things the spirit has taught us. We were called by the gospel to share in the glory of Christ. GOD has given us grace, comfort and hope encourages our spirits and strengthens us in good words and deeds.
This is the explanation of this section of scripture that GOD has taught me about.
