… Satan through Antichrist will have the ability to perform miracles to deceive people. In 2 Thessalonians 2 verses 8 and 9, he's called the lawless one. He will perform many miracles to deceive the unbelieving. And of course, God will be performing miraculous signs too in the series of the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments. And then the world will witness the greatest miracle of all, and that is the creation of the new heaven and the new earth. Those are God's miraculous displays of power. But even though those displays of power are limited to those five times, it seems like, those five periods, that doesn't mean God isn't working today miraculously. He's working in your life and in my life. How do I know that? Listen to the words of Isaiah 40 verse 28. God says, do you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. his understanding is inscrutable. God is not in heaven right now exhausted saying, oh, those four periods of miracles just wore me out. I've got to save my strength. I've got one more I've got to be ready for. So I'm going to just kind of recoup my energy and you're on your own Christians for right now. You work your own miracles. Does he say that? Of course not. God is not diminished in any way by any act of power that he exerts. God's power is limitless. The power that works in your life is …
… only he who restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way and then the lawless one aka antichrist aka son of perdition aka man of sin 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. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs, and lying wonders. Okay, what is this restraining force that is keeping the Antichrist and these events from unfolding? What is it or who is it? And I say what is it or who is it because in verse 6, you know what is restraining. And then in verse 7, he puts a personal pronoun to it. He, and notice it's capitalized in your Bible, right? He who restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. So there have been many guesses as to who or what this restraining influence is. Some have said it's the government. …
… the New Testament the coming of the lawless one, the Antichrist is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs, inline wonders and with all unrighteous deception among those who are perishing that is a terrifying couple of verses it means this there's going to be a time when people will not care what the Bible says. This guy down the street is doing miracles by some magic potion, some voodoo Hindu gods, witchcraft, whatever. I don't care because my child is blind. Hear me out. My child is blind. Or my leg. You know, I've had a stroke and this guy down the road, he's healing people Miraculously. I know his doctrine's off and he preaches a different Jesus, but I'm going to go. Do you hear this? Think about it, everybody. Don't think you're so spiritually muscular that that would never come into your wheelhouse of thinking. Wait a minute. If you don't know the truth that will anchor you and protect you, then you're going to be swept away. …

That's the second coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs, and lying wonders. Boy, we don't have the time to get into what that means. But let me tell you, without truth and without the Holy Spirit in you, you and I would fall to every one of those manifestations by pure deception. only the Holy Spirit can protect you and the truth of God what a tremendous thing and with all unrighteous deception among those who are perishing wow because why because they did not receive the love of the truth which means every one of us need to check our own hearts if we did have we received the love of the truth that's the question that they might be saved. They didn't want to be saved. …

… He's going to destroy him with the brightness of his, technically, second coming. And the coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who are perishing. There's some people who are being deceived and they love it. They fit verse 10. Sad, but it's true. Because why? Because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. They didn't want to get saved. You and I know people who we want them to get saved, but they don't want to be saved. Did you know that? we want them in heaven so bad, they don't want to go. And we don't want you bringing them because if they don't want to go, they're going to make the whole place up there sad. We're all going to be praising God and they're going to be kicking cans.
