They want lawlessness? God is going to give them the man of lawlessness. They are going to get what they want. Big time. Just wait until they want to buy or sell. Like getting groceries. Right now they scoff. This is gonna be far more shocking than mandatory face masks.



2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 New International Version

3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?
6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,
10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

Right now my local Walmart is having trouble getting decent cash to load into their (self checkout) machines. Reportedly, they’re getting crummy used bills that don’t work well. Hence, they are not filling the machines with cash and the machines are operating in mandatory credit card / debit card mode. There are two Walmart’s in town. I haven’t been to the other one to see if they have the same problem. It’s happening at the one closest to me.

What’s interesting is how the “church” in America has recently become obsessed with signs and wonders, and other weird “ manifestations”.

Considering what prosperity gospel adherents are willing to believe is from God, I can easily see how they will be deceived.

The first person who comes along, doing some signs, claiming they are through the power of God is going to have a massive following.

And they delight in the comfort of their telecom providers.

Believe the truth:

CNN is ATT
MSNBC is Comcast
