Literally. As many reject the Gospel in these Last Days, GOD will send Strong Delusion upon them so that they will believe the lie (in association with the rise of Antichrist).
Satan is softening up the battlefield for the debut of his Antichrist and his False Prophet. For them to reign (as they will, for the 7 years of 'Peace and Security') Satan must warp the minds of the unbelievers of the world by compromising and doubting the Word of God (as it was in the Garden of Eden). THIS IS HIS METHOD.
This will give the unbelievers the courage to defy even the angels of God preaching to the world (Revelation chapter 14). They will then happily betray those who refuse the Mark of the Antichrist Beast; Mandated by the False Prophet (both of Revelation chapter 13).
