The Falling Away 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

The Prophecy in 1 Timothy 4:1-6 It is a very clear prophecy Some would depart from the faith They would believe in doctrines from demons They would forbid marriage They would command abstaining from certain foods

The Fulfillment of the Prophecy The Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church are the result of the falling away prophesied in 1 Tim. 4 and 2 Thess. 2 They still bind fasting on certain days Catholic priests are forbidden to marry Orthodox priests assigned to churches are required to marry; all other clergy forbidden We will see how they fell away in more detail

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 Context is the idea that Jesus would return very soon They mistakenly thought this from reading 1 Thessalonians 5 Jesus would not return before the apostasy and the “man of lawlessness” would be revealed v.3 Some read 1 Thess. 4:13-18 and 2 Thess. 2 and make similar mistakes

2 Thessalonians 2:4 He opposes and exalts himself against God Anyone who exalts himself is against God He sits claims to be God in the temple of God The temple is the church 1 Cor. 3:9-16; Ephesians 2:19-22 He is set up to be worshiped in the church He is worshiped as God Fulfillment is the Pope as universal (catholic) bishop of the worldwide church (a lawless arrangement)

2 Thessalonians 2:5-7 Paul through the Spirit foretold these things Acts 20:28-31 The tendency toward apostasy (lawlessness) already was working A mystery because the lawless ones are working secretly at the time of writing This tendency toward lawlessness was being restrained (the ten persecutions by the Roman Empire) That restraint would be removed at some point after the time of writing (Edict of Toleration)

2 Thessalonians 2:8 After the restraint is removed, the lawless one will be revealed (pagans joined the church) The lawless one will be destroyed by the Lord Jesus’ return and glory proves the lawless one is an imposter He is destroyed also by the word of Christ The Lord’s coming and the lawless one’s revelation are not tied together

2 Thessalonians 2:9 The deceptive nature of the lawless one It is Satan’s work Deeds would have power Would claim to be signs (from God) Would be wonders (unexplainable) Would be lying wonders (not really miracles or powerful deeds supporting a lie)

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 Unrighteous deception Romans 10:1-3 The deceived ones are perishing 2 Cor. 4:4 They loved the pleasure of unrighteousness They did not love the truth They did not believe the truth They did not obey the truth 2 Thess. 1:8 God sent a strong delusion Titus 1:2, 1 Tim. 2:4, but salvation is conditional Matt. 13:10-13, Heb. 11:6 ATTITUDE IS KEY!
