The word "perdition" means damnation, therefore, the son of perdition, or damnation, leads people to spiritual damnation. The following scriptures will explain more about who the son of perdition is and what he will do.
- 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 - see the references below for a verse by verse exlplaination
- verse 1 - speaking to believers about the Lord's return; the resurrection... not the "rapture", the word rapture does not exist in the scripture.
- verse 2 - don't be worried about Christ's return; if you are worried, perhaps you need to examine yourself because if you don't know Jesus you should be afraid of his return
- verse 3 - don't be deceived, read the word of God for yourself (NOTE: read 2 Timothy 4:3-4 and Acts 17:11); the falling away is happening right now with the lukewarm churches and watered down Gospel; the "man of sin" is the son of perdition and Jesus won't come until he is revealed unto the believers
- verse 4 - the son of perdition places himself above God, thinking that he is God; if you study the scriptures, you'll find that the temple is the physical body (NOTE: read 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:19, and 2 Corinthians 6:16)
- verse 9 - the son of perdition is a servant of Satan and he will do many signs and wonders
- verse 10 - people will be damned to hell because they did not have a love for the truth (which is Jesus)
- verse 11 - those who have rejected Christ are given over to have strong delusions that they should believe a lie meaning that they will be so deceive that they won't even know it; the world is deceived by Satan
- verse 12 - all who don't believe the truth will be damned and have pleasure in unrighteousness
- verses 13-17 - these are verses of encouragement to the believer that he might stand fast in these end times when everything is against Christ
- Daniel 7:20-25 - the son of perdition is a flattering and stout man, he wears out the saints and prevails against them, he speaks against God and the people depend upon him, he changes times and laws for 3 1/2 years
- Revelation 13:11-16 - the son of perdition does great wonders like making fire come down from heaven (NOTE: perhaps this might be a example of rocket or bombs falling from the sky?) and he deceives the people by his miracles; an image is a reflection of someone else, like the beast (NOTE: when you look in a mirror you are not seeing yourself, you are seeing an image of yourself); the image is given life to speak and kill those who won't worship the image (NOTE: just as a GPS's and computers can speak, they are images of what is programmed into them); no one will be able to buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast
- Revelation 14:9-12 - the man who takes the mark of the beast will endure the wrath of God in torment
Deuteronomy 28
Matthew 24
Daniel 12:1
