Paul stated that the Lord will bring a strong Delusion on those who love not the truth...
II Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE.
- Have you ever wondered what this strong delusion is? This isn't something Satan does, but the Lord himself!!! In Matthew 24, the disciples ask the Lord a question....
Matthew 24:3.... and what shall be the "SIGN" of thy coming, and of the end of the World (age)?
- The term "sign" in the above passage, comes from the Greek # 4592 meaning "supernatural Miracle" a "token" sign.. The disciples were asking, What "miracle" should we expect, that will clue us in that your return is near. The answer Jesus gives is sort of peculiar. While they are asking Him What WILL be the sign of His coming, the Lord replies, with a nonsensical answer...or is it?? Jesus stated, "there shall be "wars and rumors of Wars" but the end is not yet. They Just asked the Lord, What WILL BE the end of the age..Why then, is He telling them what Won't be the end of the age???? Or perhaps Maybe Jesus truly is giving them a proper answer!! Jesus is stating,that the "sign of His coming", "will be the wars and rumors of Wars, that will appear to be the end, but the end is not yet" . This WILL occur very close to the end of the age!! I hope that makes sense!!![list:2pu69e3h]
