“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.”
2 Thessalonians 2:7
This is also called the Mystery of Lawlessness. It is the secret about the debut, that is, the first public appearance of the man of sin. It is the secret of the coming of the man of lawlessness to deceive people before the second coming of Christ when Jesus shall appear in the sky. The anarchist, the man of sin, is presently being restrained while Jesus tarries.
Just like concerning Christ, we have the Mystery of Godliness, according to 1 Timothy 3:16, there is also the Mystery of Iniquity about Satan and his works. Satan always tries to create a counterfeit of everything God has in order to deceive people.
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Corinthians 11:3, 13-15
Apostle Paul was writing his second epistle to the Thessalonians, and was throwing more light on some things that will happen before the second coming of Jesus Christ. He told them not to be deceived by some rumors that was spreading around then that Jesus had already come a second time, and the day of Christ has gone. The New Living Translation of the Bible says in 2 Thessalonians 2:2-3,
“Don’t be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begin. Don’t believe them, even if they claim to have had a spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us. Don’t be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness is revealed - the one who brings destruction.”
Before the day of Christ comes, a couple of things would happen:
1). The Apostasy - The great rebellion against God
2). The debut of the Anarchist
The man of lawlessness, according to the NKJV translation of the Bible, is also called the man of sin, the son of perdition. From Greek, he is called the son of destruction. The Message translation of the Bible calls him the Anarchist, a real dog of Satan. An Anarchist believes that laws, order, and governments are not necessary.
The Anarchist will therefore exalt himself, defy, and then take over every so-called god, object of worship, or altar. He will clear away every opposition, and then set himself up in God’s temple as “God Almighty". The Anarchist will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs, and also with lying wonders.
Today, the spirit of anarchy, the mystery of iniquity, is actually already at work secretly and underground until the appointed time of his revelation to the world. He is being held back. The Anarchist, Satan’s dog, is yet to be let loose by Satan until his time comes because there is a restraint by Jesus. Christ, the Bridegroom of the Church is keeping the Church safe from the reign of the man of perdition and the great tribulation on earth. He will continue to keep the Church until the rapture of the saints.
“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.”
2 Thessalonians 2:7
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
After the seven years in Heaven with His Bride (The Church), Jesus Christ’s second coming to Earth will take place. He will consume the Anarchist with the breath of His mouth, and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The splendor of the coming of Christ will destroy Satan’s dog. Master Jesus will be right on his heels, and blow him away. The Master appears and -puff!- the Anarchist is out of there.
The end is at hand, and all those who wish to be saved from destruction should ensure that they are enlisted in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the return of Jesus. Master Jesus is coming to harvest the saints from the coming destruction of Planet Earth. Be prepared!
