2 Thessalonians 2:9-10

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10

[9] Even him, whose  coming  after  the working  of Satan  with  all  power  and  signs  and  lying  wonders,  [10] And  with  all  deceivableness  of unrighteousness  in  them that perish;  because  they received  not  the love  of the truth,  that  they  might be saved. 

What does 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The lawless one will be Satan"s instrument. Scripture also calls him the beast coming out of the sea ( Revelation 13:1-10), the scarlet beast ( Revelation 17:3), and simply the beast ( Revelation 17:8; Revelation 17:16; Revelation 19:19-20; Revelation 20:10). Satan will empower him to deceive many people into thinking he is God by doing awe-inspiring, powerful miracles (cf. Revelation 13:2-4; Revelation 17:8).
"The use of parousia here probably suggests a parody of Christ"s Parousia ( 2 Thessalonians 2:8)." [1]
