For the past years as I’ve seen the rise of belligerent irrational Leftists (and a few oddball Righties), I continuously think of this
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work. However, the one who holds him back will do so until he is taken out of the way, and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth and wipe out by the manifestation of his arrival. The arrival of the lawless one will be by Satan’s working with all kinds of miracles and signs and false wonders, and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved. Consequently God sends on them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false. And so all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned.
This passage requires a people in place who have already rejected truth and are open vessels to believe that which is false.
In today’s world, in the past few decades we have witnessed the emergence of a world religion which thrives on deception, legitimizes deceit in order to aide its spread. A religion which declares Jews and Christians to be its enemy and they are destined to be destroyed by it.
Quran 5:73 “They are surely disbelievers who blaspheme and say: ‘God is one of three in the Trinity for there is no Ilah (God) except One, Allah. If they desist not from saying this (blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall them – the disbelievers will suffer a painful doom.”
Indeed. We are warned specifically about this doctrine.
1 John 2:21 I have not written to you that you do not know the truth, but that you do know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist: the person who denies the Father and the Son. Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either. The person who confesses the Son has the Father also.
