And for this reason God will send them strong (1753 ἐνέργεια energeia) delusion, that they should believe the lie, (2 Thess. 2:11 NKJ)

God sends “the energy of delusion” so those who did not receive love of God’s Truth (the Bible) will believe “the BIG LIE” (2 Thess. 2:11-12), the miracle working “man of sin” is the Christ and later “Ancient Alien Theory” (aka Scientific Atheism) claims God and Angels are just another race of Extraterrestrial beings, nothing more.

After Michael casts Satan and his angels out of heaven they will appear physically on earth (Rev. 12:7-9) claiming to be “the Elohim Creators of life on earth. But just before the riders spreading mass deception and chaos begin their ride (Rev. 6:2-8), the apostate church will receive a miracle working Evangelist named Adonikam as “the Christ”.

Their apostasy takes away the Christian “daily sacrifice” to God, they no longer take up the cross of Christ. Now they serve the Man of Sin Antichrist. The removal of their daily sacrifice starts the End-Time clock or “week of seven years” (Dan. 12:11).

Soon after “the Elohim” arrive, Satan and his Nephilim “Fallen Ones” (Gen. 6:4; Rev. 12:7). A fleet of UFO ships will cause the entire earth to revolt against all humans once called God or worshipped (2 Thess. 2:3-4). Adonikam and every shaman, prophet and ufo contactee will declare the Dragon’s coming as the arrival of the Kingdom of God. But rather than bring peace and prosperity, Satan sends forth three other riders causing war, famine pestilence and death on a scale never seen before (Rev. 6:2-8) overwhelming the earth’s ability to cope with the crisis.

In sheer desperation, fearing an extinction level event has begun, the earth puts aside any misgivings about the Dragon Commander and his Nephilim, and embrace them as Saviors of humanity. All who stand in their way or even doubt “their good intentions” will be hated (2 Thess. 2:3-4; Rev. 6:2-8), especially all who are still loyal to the real Jesus Christ and God’s Holy Word the Bible.

“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. (Matt. 24:24 NKJ)

The “energy of delusion” is spiritism, called the “mystery” or “secret power of lawlessness” (NIV) in this context. It is the opposite of the “mystery of Godliness” (Spirit of Christ) who “energizes” belief in truth and sanctification” (1 Tim. 3:16; 2 Thess. 2:13). Just as God sent a lying spirit to deceive Ahab and those with him (1 Kings 22:20-22), so lying spirits are sent as “deluding energy” inducing belief in “the lie”. Indirectly, “God sends them” when the Holy Spirit stops restraining the manifestation of spiritism on earth, lifting His decree against Satan’s angels appearing physically on earth (2 Thess. 2:6-7; Rev. 12:7-9) as they did in the Days of Noah (Gen. 6:1-4).

Lets review the context:

Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? (2 Thess. 2:5 NKJ)

The Thessalonians remembered “what” (2 Thess. 2:6) and “who” (2 Thess. 2:7) Paul said “restrained” the “mystery (3466 μυστήριον musterion) of lawlessness” which gives birth to “the Lawless One” (2 Thess. 2:8).

We do not. Like Sherlock Holmes we must induce the identities from clues in the context.

The “secret power (3466 μυστήριον musterion) of lawlessness” fuels the revelation of the “Lawless One”. This “secret power” is the “working (1753 ἐνέργεια energeia) of Satan “with all power signs and lying wonders” and it characterizes “the coming of the Lawless One” (2 Thess. 2:9).

The “secret power of lawlessness” was “already at work” (2 Thess. 2:7). Satanic energy inspiring the lie (2 Thess. 2:7-9) the “Day of Christ had come” had “shaken…troubled” the Thessalonians. “Spirit…word…letter as if from us” (2 Thess. 2:2) claimed the Thessalonians were “left behind”, that the “Day of Christ” had come and the Rapture/”resurrection is already past” (2 Tim. 2:18; 1 Thess. 4:14; 2 Thess. 2:1; Rev. 14:14-16; 20:4-6).

Another clue, the antithesis. Two forces are opposed to each other, one produces Antichrists, the other Christians.

The “mystery of lawlessness” (2 Thess. 2:7-12) versus the “mystery of Godliness” (2 Thess. 2:13-14; 1 Tim. 3:16).

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 – The Mystery of Lawlessness:

The Mystery of Lawlessness telepathically (Lk. 8:12; 2Cor. 4:4; Jam. 1:13; Jer. 14:14) inspires rebellion against God’s law. It is a working (1753 ἐνέργεια energeia) of Satan (2 Thess. 2:9) that inwardly deludes, a “strong (1753 ἐνέργεια energeia) delusion” (2 Thess. 2:11) the “Lawless One” is Christ (2 Thess. 2:3-4, 7, 9-11; 1 Tim. 4:1; 1 John 2:18-19; Rev. 6:2; Mat. 7:22-23; 24:4-5).

Versus:

1 Timothy 3:16 – The Mystery of Godliness:

The Mystery of Godliness is the secret power of the Holy Spirit inspiring “lawfulness”, “the working (1753 ἐνέργεια energeia) which works (1754 ἐνεργέω energeo) in me mightily” (Col. 1:29) to obey “the word of God, which also effectively works (1754 ἐνεργέω energeo) in you who believe” (1 Thess. 2:13). Sanctification by the Spirit and obedient belief in God’s Word of Truth (2 Thess. 2:13-15; John 17:17; 1 John 2:20-21; 1 John 4:6).

Only God the Holy Spirit has the power to “restrain” Satan, only what He ordains restrains Satan’s signs and wonders on earth.

God Will Send a Strong Delusion:

Therefore, God the Holy Spirit is “He” who restrains. “What” restrains is God’s ordinance holding down the tsunami of satanic ENERGEO. When that ordinance is ‘taken out of the way’ (compare ἐκ τοῦ μέσου Col. 2:14), then the Lawless One will appear, doing great signs and wonders to deceive the “temple of God”, the Church (2 Thess. 2:3-4).

The antithesis in the context will play out in the End Time. The ENERGEO of lawlessness in Antichrists who love not the truth, VERSUS the ENERGEO of Godliness in Christians who love God’s Word of Truth, which in the 1st century before the canon was set, existed in both Apostolic word or epistle but today is contained only in the 66 canonical books we call “the Bible”:

7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work (1754 ἐνεργέω energeo); only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working (1753 ἐνέργεια energeia) of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this reason God will send them strong (1753 ἐνέργεια energeia) delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,
14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.(2 Thess. 2:7-15 NKJ)

How does the mystery of lawlessness produce such a strong delusion?

God’s Spirit communes with the human spirit only (Romans 8:1-16; 9:1), not the flesh (Rom. 7:18). The satanic counterfeit works in the flesh, body and brain with physical sensations and telepathic messages (Luke 8:12; 2 Cor. 4:3-4). Working inwardly, demonic “energy” excites the production of endorphins etc. to produce experiences that become accepted as “the leading of God” (1 Cor. 12:2). Subjectivism overpowers the intellect, “spiritual experience” becomes the arbiter of truth, scripture and reality forced to conform to it. Like animals led (71 ἄγω ago) to the slaughter (1 Cor. 12:2), the deceived are led anywhere the spirits desire they go. Truly, a strong delusion (2 Thess. 2:11-12).

So, the “mystery of lawlessness” (2 Thess. 2:7) is a “secret power that inspires lawlessness”, a deluding influence that works inwardly causing belief in falsehood. Hence some versions translate this as:

a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false. NET
a power that deludes people so that they believe what is false, NJB
an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood ROT
an influence that will mislead them so that they will believe the lie. CEB

The “mystery of lawlessness” is the polar opposite of the “mystery of godliness” (1Tim. 3:15 versus 1 Tim. 4:1; Compare 2Th. 2:9-12 versus 2Th. 2:13-15).

Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away (520 ἀπάγω apago) unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led (71 ἄγω ago) (1 Cor. 12:2) KJV

Dr. Steven Greer’s “Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind: Contact Has Begun” records CE5 events where “trans-dimensional beings” visibly appear in various light forms while UFO spectacle occurs in the sky. The evil spirits telepathically assuage the fear of contactees claiming Extraterrestrials want only peaceful coexistence humankind. Dr. Greer lies when he claims no one has been harmed by CE5 events. So many have been injured or killed it warranted its own classification “Close Encounters of the Sixth Kind.” The rising popularity of Greer’s CE5 and similar UFO “contactee movements” that employ protocols similar to Ancient Spiritism implies God has lifted His restraint upon energy of Satan, the mystery of lawlessness. Satan can accomplish any deception he wants in our realm (2 Thess. 2:3, 7-12; 1 Tim. 4:1; 1 John 4:1-5).

We see this “energy” at work when Paul warns the Corinthians to remember how deceived they were by the deluding influence of demons that led them (by the nose) against all rational thought, even going to deaf and dumb idols to hear their pleas. They were led anywhere the spirits wanted them to go (71 ἄγω ago: like animals to the slaughter)(1Cor. 12:1-2).

Satanic “energy inworking error” employs telepathic suggestion and “experiences” to supplant critical thinking (Isa. 8:20-22; Jer. 14:14; 23:21-28; Mat. 7:22-23; Luke 8:12; 1 Cor. 12:2-3; 2 Cor. 11:4, 14; 2 Thess. 2:2, 7, 9-12; 1 Tim. 4:1; 1 John 2:18; 4:1-6).

These hear the gospel but the Devil telepathically argues against it preventing belief:

“Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. (Lk. 8:12 NKJ)

3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. (2 Cor. 4:3-4 NKJ)

The “secret power of lawlessness” inspires heresy and false prophecy:

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, (1 Tim. 4:1 NKJ)

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. (1 Jn. 4:1-3 NKJ)

The “delusion causing energy” Satan can disguise itself so well some imagine God is tempting them to do evil:

13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.
15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. (Jas. 1:13-15 NKJ)

Everyone living has experienced the deluding energy of Satan at one time or another:

1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works (1754 ἐνεργέω energeo) in the sons of disobedience,
3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. (Eph. 2:1-3 NKJ)

When speaking about the End Time Lawless One, there is an antithesis of those led by demons versus those sanctified by the Holy Spirit. That picture of the Church is exactly as Christ predicted:

24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;
25 “but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
26 “But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.
27 “So the servants of the owner came and said to him,`Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’
28 “He said to them,`An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him,`Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’
29 “But he said,`No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
30 `Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”‘” (Matt. 13:24-30 NKJ)

By the “secret power of lawlessness” magicians had the miracle working power to deceive Pharaoh God could successfully be resisted (Ex. 7:11-13, 22). This prefigured that God will send a strong delusion upon the end time generation (2 Thess. 2:11), so they believe what they delight in, the powers of darkness.

Sign and wonder working TARES do their powerful works by another Spirit (2 Cor. 11:4), Jesus never knew them:

22 “Many will say to Me in that day,`Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
23 “And then I will declare to them,`I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matt. 7:22-23 NKJ)

Casting out demons is to be distinguished from the other “Christian like” signs and wonders TARES do (Mt. 7:22-23). When Satanists, Sorcerers, Spiritualists, and non-Christian religions successfully exorcise demons, its not accomplished by the power of the Devil because Satan never works against himself, therefore it is impossible “Satan casts out Satan” (Mt. 12:25-27). Satanic exorcism is masterful deception, the demon feigns discomfort and willingly leaves the possessed so both practitioner and victim believe the “lie” the “sign” or “wonder” taught (2 Th. 2:9). For example, these “itinerant Jewish exorcists” added the names of Jesus and Paul to their usual magic incantations. Unlike previous exorcisms, the demon chose not to leave and the man it possessed attacked the exorcists physically (Acts 19:13-16). The same is true of the End Time TARE False Prophets whom Christ says are the “children of the Devil” (Mt. 13:38). Their casting out demons is unlike signs and wonders done by the energeia tou Satana (2 Th. 2:9), here the casting out is a satanic ruse to deceive the exorcism is done by the Holy Spirit. Jesus denies that is possible as He “never knew” them.

Satan and his Nephlim Fallen Ones walked among men during his war against the Woman’s Seed (Gen. 3:15). As this war is often discussed in the early Church (Rev. 12:1-4; Gen. 6:1-4; 2 Pet. 2:4-5; Jude 1:6-7; Lk. 17:26; Mt. 24:29), its likely among the things Paul told the Thessalonians.

History testifies God forbade Satan and his angels from appearing physically on earth after the flood. That “ordinance” will be taken “out of the way” in the End Time (2 Thess. 2:6-9). The “three woes of demonic manifestation” (Rev. 9:12; 12:12) symbolically shows this restraint removed. What held this angel up is removed and he “free falls” (4098 πίπτω pipto) to the earth to release the demons from the abyss (Rev. 9:1-3). The Nephilim “Kings of the sunrising” are unbound and the symbolic boundary of the Euphrates separating our realm from theirs is dried up (Rev. 9:14-15); Woe to the earth for Satan and his angels appear on earth disguised as “extraterrestrials” after being cast down out of heaven (Rev. 12:7-12).

Satan has been preparing humanity for this “invasion” via UFO spectacle and “contactee evil spirits”. Scientific Atheism, Ancient Alien Theory sheds light on how the Son of Perdition can oppose everything called God or worshipped today, yet exalt himself as God in the Temple of God the church. He will blaspheme God and the inhabitants of heaven (Rev. 13:6) claiming they are a competing faction of ELOHIM, but as he is a hybrid Elohim-human seed of Satan he is above God Himself.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2 Thess. 2:4 KJV)

In “scientific atheism” there is no god, all appearing in human history are said to be extraterrestrial beings or myth. That is how the Antichrist opposes the historic definition of God (Dan. 7:25; 8:11-12). It is claimed the Antichrist is a hybrid both “elohim” and “human”. The Antichrist will claim to be superior to all other Designer hybrids in history, and therefore higher in nature than even the “elohim Designers” themselves. Thus he exalts himself above all called God and claims to alone be God.

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. (Dan. 11:36-37 KJV)

So the Antichrist claims to be the Christ, but in such a way that denies everything Christians believe about God the only begotten Son and His Father, including the incarnation (1Jn. 2:22-23; 4:3. 2Jn. 1:7).

1 thought on “God Will Allow the Strong Delusion of the Antichrist Test the Earth”

  1. “Are you saying God sends the Falsehood, lies to the earth to deceive them?”

    No, I didn’t say that.

    God stops restraining the “mystery of lawlessness” (spiritism) that convinces the wicked who take pleasure in unrighteousness, that the falsehood they prefer above God’s truth is true.

    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. (2 Thess. 2:7 NIV)

    10 …They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved, they delight in wickedness.
    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.
    (2 Thess. 2:10-12 NIV)

    Because God could have continued restraining Satan and his demons, and not given the rebels what they craved, it is said “God sends the delusion.”

    A analogy:

    God permits the construction of two doors, one leads to life, the other death.

    WE choose which door we walk through, to God’s Truth, or to Satan’s Delusion.

    Why does God do this? It’s the END TIME, the earth is bursting with people. Its time humanity choose what they want. I

    If you choose to believe the Bible the satanic delusion doesn’t work on you:

    10 …They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved, they delight in wickedness.
    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.
    (2 Thess. 2:10-12 NIV)

    Notice the contrast between those who chose to believe the delusion (delighted in it, rejoiced in that wickedness) and those who love the Truth of God the Bible. The strong delusion does not affect them, the Holy Spirit delivers them from the hour of temptation that will seduce the entire earth:

    13 But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth.
    14 He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. (2 Thess. 2:13-15 NIV)

    Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (Rev. 3:10 KJV)
