Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,

not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us — whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter — asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
