Delusional Spirit of Unrighteousness

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

  1. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
  2. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Elohim shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
  3. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
  4. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
  5. And for this cause Yahuwah shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
  6. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Something hindered or withheld the man of sin.  It is supposed to be the power of the Roman empire, which the apostle did not mention more plainly at that time.  Corruption of doctrine and worship came in by degrees and the usurping of power was gradual, thus the mystery of iniquity prevailed.  Superstition and idolatry were advanced by pretended devotion and bigotry and persecution were promoted by pretended zeal for Yahuwah and his glory.  This mystery of iniquity was even then begun, while the apostles were yet living, persons pretended zeal for Yahushua, but really opposed him.  The fall or ruin of the antichristian state is declared. The pure word of Yahuwah, with the Spirit of Yahuwah, will discover this mystery of iniquity, and in due time it shall be destroyed by the brightness of Yahushua's coming.  Signs and wonders, visions and miracles, are pretended, but they are false signs to support false doctrines and lying wonders, or only pretended miracles, to cheat the people and the diabolical deceits with which the antichristian state has been supported, are notorious.  The persons are described, who are his willing subjects. Their sin is this, 'they did not love the truth, and therefore did not believe it and they were pleased with false notions'.  Yahuwah leaves them to themselves, then sin will follow of course and spiritual judgments.  These prophecies have, in a great measure, come to pass and confirm the truth of the Scriptures. 


This passage exactly agrees with the system of popery, as it prevails in the Romish church and under the Romish popes.  "The emperor of Rome, quitting Rome to dwell at Constantinople" (in the fourth century, under Constantine), "the Roman empire began to decline, but the church of Rome augmented as fast.  Nevertheless, until the coming in of the Lombards, all Italy being under the dominion of either emperors or kings, the bishops assumed no more power than what was due to their doctrine and manners, in civil affairs they were subject to the civil power.  But Theodoric, king of the Goths, fixing his seat at Ravenna, was that which advanced their interest and made them more considerable in Italy, for there being no other prince left in Rome, the Romans were forced for protection to pay greater allegiance to the Pope.  The Lombards having invaded and reduced Italy into several cantons, the Pope took the opportunity and began to hold up his head.  For being, as it were, governor and principal of Rome, the emperor of Constantinople and the Lombards bare him a respect, so that the Romans (by mediation of their Pope) began to treat and confederate with Longinus (the emperor's lieutenant), and the Lombards, not as subjects, but as equals and companions; which said custom continuing, and the Pope's entering into alliance sometimes with the Lombards, and sometimes with the Greeks, contracted great reputation to their dignity."  To anyone acquainted with the decline and fall of the Roman empire, nothing can be more manifest than the correspondence of the facts in history respecting the rise of the papacy and the statement of the apostle Paul here.   All breakaways from the Church of Rome continue to deceive many, yet it is the responsibility of all who should have cultivated a throughly grounded knowledge of the scriptures so as not be continually fed falsehoods believing and liking the lie. 


But though the son of perdition has been revealed, though he has opposed and exalted himself above all that is called Yahuwah, or that is worshipped and has spoken and acted as if he were a Elohim upon earth and has proclaimed his insolent pride and supported his delusions, by lying miracles and all kinds of frauds, still the Elohim has not yet fully destroyed him with the brightness of his coming, that and other prophecies remain to be fulfilled before the end shall come.
