And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his time.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. But the one who restrains is to do so only for the present, until he is removed from the scene.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord (Jesus) will kill with the breath of his mouth and render powerless by the manifestation of his coming,

II Thessalonians 2:6-8

 

 

Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.

Luke 12:51

 

 

 

 

I looked, and there was a white horse, and its rider had a bow. He was given a crown, and he rode forth victorious to further his victories.

Revelation 6:2

 

 

For one week he shall make a firm compact with the many;

Half the week he shall abolish sacrifice and oblation;

On the temple wing shall be the horrible abomination until the ruin that is decreed

is poured out upon the horror.

Daniel 9:27

 

 

his cunning shall be against the holy ones,

his treacherous conduct shall succeed.

He shall be proud of heart

and destroy many by stealth.

But when he rises against the prince of princes,

he shall be broken without a hand being raised.

Daniel 8:25

 

 

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

 

Matthew 4:8-11

 

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

II Corinthians 4:3-4

 

 

Beloved, believe not every spirit,

but try the spirits whether they are of God:

because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God:

Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:

and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

I John 4:1-3
