2 Thessalonians 2:9–12 (RSV) — 9 The coming of the lawless one by the activity of
Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because
they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God
sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, 12 so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.
NOTE: God sends a
strong delusion upon the unbelieving world, because they are condemned. Why are
they condemned? Because they refused to believe the truth. God is merciful, but
he chooses to withdraw his mercy but to a select few in the last days. Even today,
we can see those who refuse to believe and have instead chosen to believe the
worldview of things regarding gender, marriage, and sexual relationships. God's
word is clear, but people are convinced, by supposed scientists, that they can
and should disregard the bible. Scientists can say little about the
metaphysical, and the bible does not say much about science -- they do not
contradict each other, although each has a purpose and can give more
appreciation for the other when understood correctly.
PRAYER: Thank you
for your word. Help us to understand it more clearly. Open the eyes of the
dying that they may yet live.
