The Man of Lawlessness

image from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caA84xVkYW8

2 Thessalonians 2:1–12

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 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.

Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 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. 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. 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.

I could be wrong, but I stand by my assertion right now. BHO is the one. Everything that is going on right now globally stem from seeds he planted over a decade ago.
His main goal was/is the destruction of the Republic, to break us and establish the Caliphate. His wife, Big Mike, will likely run the cleanup operation once FJB is “retired”.
He is a liar, every detail about his life is a lie, and he serves his “father”(of lies) well.

Daniel 11:36-37
King James Version
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

lurking in the shadows in DC never left it from what we know. Convenient place to pull strings from.

Isa 57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

Excellent exegesis of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, I couldn’t have defined it any better .The man of sin is on the scene but he hasn’t manifested himself yet, along with satan the deceiver.

yes, but we have not physically seen him and only the Elect will be able to pick him out, while the rest of the world will be deceived by him. Yes, he is here but not seen by eyes yet.

 1 John 2:22
Who is the liar, except the one denying that Yahusha is the Mashiak? This is the antiMashiak, the one denying the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Yahusha Mashiak is come in the flesh is not of Yahuah. And this is that spirit of anti-Mashiak wich you heard is coming, and now is already in the world. 
2 John 1:7
Because many who are leading astray went out into the world who do not confess Yahusha coming in the flesh. This one is he who is leading astray and the anti-Mashiak.
we have seen these people amongst us. i pray they reconsider.
Because of man (false prophets and otherwise) some are loosing their belief, their faith. What does His Word tell us about this? How do our actions and words effect others around us? What kind of example are we reflecting? Are we leading by example?
Mathew 18:7
Woe to the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
Offenses, temptations ,stumbling blocks.
Woe to the world because of stumbling -blocks! For it is necessary that stumbling blocks come, but woe to that man by whom the stumbling- block comes!
It is becoming difficult not to see the lawlessness in this world taking place daily. we see how people behave towards each other every where we go. When we are driving, working, waiting in line, etc. People who serve self only. 
 Also be aware of the good that is still out there, and take note. If He is within us in our flesh we are not still ‘waiting’ for His return. He is within us! He has come in the flesh. Seek Him!
Amos 5;18 is a good passage to have in mind.
Woe to you who are longing for the day of Yahuah! What does the day of Yahuah mean to you? It is darkness, and not light,

All these verses teach us about the heart of man and how wicked they are and what will befall them. deception is the tool of satan and his minions, and he wants as many as he can get to join him in hell on the last day. Christ is the rock and we must all stand and rely on that rock if we are to be saved, this only applies to his elected and not the rest of the world. This world is already doomed and waiting on Christs judgement of the wicked who deny him. He who denies our Lord is an anti Christ and that looks to be many people now. Everywhere we turn now we see people, news media, governments, etc. all despising Christ and beginning to pass laws banning his Holy Word and we are seeing this wickedness in our nation play out, they won’t even speak Christ name publicly because of the hatred they have for him. When our leaders speak of god they use it as a generic god meaning any false god, so the one speaking does not offend all of the wicked ones who they are speaking to. Christ’s wrath will be poured out on the last day to our families, friends, etc. who have not repented of there sins and it will be very sad for them.
