Sign of the Man of Sin

Dan 12:1  “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.
Dan 12:2  “Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.
Dan 12:3  “Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
Dan 12:4  “But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”

2Th 2:7  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8  Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;
2Th 2:9  that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,
2Th 2:10  and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
2Th 2:11  For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,
2Th 2:12  in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.
2Th 2:13  But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
2Th 2:14  It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 2:15  So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.
2Th 2:16  Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,
2Th 2:17  comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.

Transforming Power Statements:

1) Daniel’s prophecies are proof positive that God has accurately stated the course of human history, and really wants all people to realize His great love and provision and come to a saving knowledge of Christ Jesus His Son before falling under to deception of the coming man of sin, the Antichrist.

2) Paul taught the Thessalonians about the coming of the man of sin as a sign that must take place in the sequence of end-time events prior to the time of the rapture of the Church.

3) God’s desire is that the preaching of the Gospel of His Son Jesus the Christ, will notify everyone that He loves everyone and wants each person to be saved and walk in the truth rather than being deceived by the coming man of sin, who is energized by the devil himself.
