2 Thessalonians 2:8-10 BSB

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Thessalonians 2:8

2 Thessalonians 2:8. And then When every prince and power that restrains is taken away; that wicked Ο ανομος , that lawless one, who boasts himself to be above all laws, and the infallible judge, dispensing with, and interpreting the laws of God, according to his pleasure. Nothing can be more plain than that this wicked or lawless one, and the man of sin, must be one and the same person: shall be revealed This revelation must mean that he would then no longer work secretly, but... read more

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:8

And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to naught by the manifestation of his coming;Most students of this passage are dogmatically certain that "the lawless one" of this verse is an eschatological person, an individual, answering to the Biblical definition of "antichrist"; and, while there seems to be some indication of this, this understanding for it requires understanding the following clauses to contain a double... read more

even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,Hubbard's summary of the meaning here is:His coming reveals itself in all power (to work miracles) and signs (significant, meaningful miracles) and wonders (amazing their observers). In the Greek, "lying" seems to apply to all three.[8]The import of this passage is to the effect that Satan himself will lend his great power to the final man of sin, whom we have supposed to be "antichrist," and... 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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:8

2 Thessalonians 2:8. Then shall that Wicked be revealed, &c.— When the obstacle mentioned in the preceding verse should be removed, then shall that Wicked, &c. Nothing can be plainer than that the lawless (ο ανομος ), as the Greek signifies,—the wicked one here mentioned, and the man of sin, must be one and the same person. The apostle was speaking before of what hindered that he should be revealed, and would continue to hinder, till it was taken away; "and then shall that wicked one,... read more
