The Man Of Sin

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.

Thank you Heavenly Father. Thank you for this day. Thank you for this program, Father, that you’ve given me to share with your people. I pray you would bless all of us, as we listen, or as we read, that you would open our hearts to receive what you are saying by your Holy Spirit, Father, Amen. Give us understanding of your Word. Thank you Lord. Today’s program is called, The Man Of Sin. Let’s turn to 2 Thess 1:1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed. Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Chapter 2, verse 1, Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 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. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Me. 

Let’s go to John 3:14, Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, and He said, And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God. Verse 36, He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. This is the record: that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that has the Son has life; he that does not have the Son of God shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. The day of God’s wrath is coming upon all the wicked; upon all those who reject the sacrifice of God’s dear Son for their sins; who would not believe the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness. Light has come into the world: Jesus has come into the world, and He has spoken the truth: His Word is the truth. He has given Himself upon the Cross to suffer and die for our sins; to take the full punishment upon Himself. He died for our sins and shed His Blood to atone for them. 

Isa 53:7, He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgressions of My people He was stricken. and they made His grave with the wicked—but with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Many have heard this report, but Isaiah said, Who has believed our report?, and to whom is the Arm of the Lord revealed? Many do not believe the report; many do not obey the Gospel. Did you know that not only do we need to believe the Gospel, but we need to obey the Gospel? We need to walk in faith every day, trusting in Jesus’ sacrifice for us upon the Cross, and His resurrection from the dead. We need to walk in the light, confessing our sins and being cleansed by the Blood of Jesus, with faith in His shed Blood atoning for all our sins; walking with a conscience void of offense toward God and man; doing good. He that does good is of God; he that does evil has not seen God. Jesus is coming in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that do not know God, and that do not obey the Gospel. They shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power. He is coming to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired by all them that believe the report; that believe the truth. But He is not coming until there has been a falling away in the Church first: we are in it, and have been in it for years in the Church, and until that man of sin shall be revealed: the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called god, after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved.  Do you love the truth?  Do you love Jesus, and what He has done for you? For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie. What is the lie? It’s the same lie that Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden: “You shall not surely die.” You can sin and not perish. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. If you won’t receive the love of the truth, God’s Word is the truth; Jesus is the truth; He loved you and gave Himself for you, that you might have eternal life with Him and with His Father in His glorious Kingdom, if you won’t receive the love of the truth, God is going to send you strong delusion: that you will believe the man of sin, and you will be swept away with him into eternal damnation. Don’t think you can’t be deceived! If God sends you strong delusion, you will be deceived, and you will believe the lie.  

The Antichrist is coming with great power and deception, and the Scripture says that the whole world is going to worship him: everyone who’s name is not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. He will have a false prophet with him, doing great signs and wonders, so, if possible, to deceive the very elect. You say, “I’m a good Christian; I go to a good church; I read the Bible; I pray.” Do you love the truth? Or do you still have pleasure in unrighteousness? These men are going to be operating in all the power of the devil: commanding fire down from heaven; causing everyone to receive a mark in their forehead, or in their right hand, everyone in the whole world, or else they won’t be able to buy or sell.  What are you going to do then? Don’t think this won’t happen in your lifetime. As I said, we have been in a great falling away from the truth in the Church for many years, and evil is filling the Earth. It is written in Daniel 8:23&24, And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their fullness, a king shall arise, having fierce features, who understands sinister schemes. His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; He shall destroy fearfully, and shall prosper and thrive; He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people. Friends, the transgressors are reaching their fullness now! The evil that is going on in the Earth, even in the Church, is unreal! If they are not full yet, they will be very soon. Are we ready to stand; to truly be faithful to Jesus unto death, loving Him, believing Him, trusting Him to sustain us? The man of sin is going to war against the saints and overcome them. The Scripture says, they loved not their lives unto death: They overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony: the truth, and they loved not their lives unto death. Brothers and sisters, we need to take these Words very seriously, and we need to be preparing ourselves, for these days are upon us! Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready?
