In 2 Thessalonians 2:9–12, Paul warns that the “lawless one” will come with counterfeit signs and wonders empowered by Satan, deceiving those who reject the gospel. Those who refuse to love the truth will be given over to delusion, believing lies that lead to condemnation. The passage calls us to cling to the truth of Christ, for only in Him do we find salvation and protection from deception.
