Man of lawlessness

The man of lawlessness is portrayed as a god who proclaims to be God. This causes many people to follow him. He also perform all sorts of miracles, signs and wonders. Despite all the lieing and decieving, people will succumb to his manupulation. For those that are unsure on where they stand God will send a powerful delusion so that those who are on the fence in regards to where their allegience lies, will believe the lie.

The man of lawlessness will be destroyed by Jesus. Scripture tells us who “will overthrow him with the breath of His mouth and destroy by the splendor of His coming." (2Thess 2:8)
