One More Lie

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  2 Thessalonians 2: 9-10

A character in a show that tells naught but lies can be difficult to keep up with, as I found out last night when one more lie fooled me and the ending of the season brought surprise. As everything in this life can be used by the Lord as a lesson for those who believe in His Son, this situation was no different. That, I thought, is the way that many will be deceived by the lawless one, the Antichrist who comes near the ending of this world. 

Many will be taken in by the initial deception of the evil one when this man of lawlessness comes on the wings of iniquities. However, those who believe in the Lord Jesus are not to be fooled. And yet, if we should attempt to see through the layers of deception and the web of lies with only our intellect or wisdom, then we are doomed to fall. Should any of us enter the final times unguarded by the Lord's Spirit, then that one more lie will deceive him. 

Of course our one hope is in the Lord Jesus Himself, and part of that is an escape and a reunion all in one. We do not expect to meet the revealed abomination of desolation when the Rapture of the Church is believed to come before this person enters the world stage.

Great is our hope in Him!
