2 Thessalonians 2:9-10. Him whose coming The apostle, in his eagerness to foretel the destruction of the man of sin, having broken in upon his subject, now returns to it again, and describes the other qualifications by which this wicked one should advance and establish himself in the world. He should rise, the apostle signifies, to credit and authority by the most diabolical methods; should pretend to supernatural powers, and boast of revelations, visions, and miracles, false in themselves,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

The day of the Lord (2:1-12)Some of the Thessalonians thought that the final day of the Lord had already come. Paul states firmly that they did not get such an idea from any prophecy, preaching or letter of his (2:1-2). That day will not come until there is open and widespread rebellion against God, led by one known as the man of lawlessness (RSV; NIV) or the wicked one (GNB). This person will recognize no authority, Christian or otherwise, apart from his own, and will put himself in the place... read more

and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.Populations who will not accept God's morality, but who love evil, will be quite easily deceived by Satan; God himself will even send hardening and blindness to those who have preferred evil, in order to hasten their destruction. The judicial hardening that God inflicts upon those who love wickedness is an extensive New Testament subject. For further discussion... read more

Translate, "unto them that are perishing" (2 Corinthians 2:15; 2 Corinthians 2:16; 2 Corinthians 4:3): the victims of him whose very name describes his perishing nature, "the son of perdition"; in contrast to you whom (2 Thessalonians 2:13) "God hath from the beginning chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth."... read more

B. The mystery of lawlessness 2:6-12Paul continued his instruction concerning the events that must take place at the beginning of the day of the Lord and stressed the lawlessness of that period. His purpose was to explain more clearly that his readers had not missed the Rapture and had not entered the eschatological day of the Lord. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10

The lawless one will be Satan’s instrument. Scripture also calls him the beast coming out of the sea (Revelation 13:1-10), the scarlet beast (Revelation 17:3), and simply the beast (Revelation 17:8; Revelation 17:16; Revelation 19:19-20; Revelation 20:10). Satan will empower him to deceive many people into thinking he is God by doing awe-inspiring, powerful miracles (cf. Revelation 13:2-4; Revelation 17:8)."The use of parousia here probably suggests a parody of Christ’s Parousia (2... read more
