I believe that the "mystery of lawlessness", spoken of by Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 is a system that today is very important to identify and reject, just as it was when Paul wrote this letter and said "is already at work".
I suggest that the "mystery of Lawlessness" is the world system of evil, that Satan, who is the god of this world, has established to entertain our flesh thus keeping people unsaved or saved but very fleshly.
When people read these verses, they equate the mystery of lawlessness as future, but it's NOT! See what Paul is saying in 2 Corinthians 4:4 "The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light". And for believers, James says in 4:4, Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?"
Hey friends, lets be very careful how we respond to the wooing of the world system. And to what degree we involve ourselves in this wicked system. Not all is bad, and unfortunately we need some of it, but do we have to expose our eyes, ears, and thinking to what we know spiritually, is evil? Just take TV for example, when immoral material presents itself on that screen, are we going to watch something else? Oh yes, the wooing of the world, it"s very powerful.
Dear JCitol, may I ask why you are expressing the words Chakra and yoga - Buddhism and Hinduism in expounding Daniel Chapter Seven? Are you aware that the example you're using describes nations instead of spirits in the end times and the man of sin described in Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (3 1/2 years).And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings(viz. the chakras are devilish spirits) that shall arise: and another shall rise after them (i.e. among them, viz. the main process of the spiritual iniquity - e.g. the process of yoga);
The spiritual iniquity is the most invisible, therefore it becomes apparent at last, although it is the original and the very sin

BTW, the manner in which you posted without separation of verses and punctuation was very hard to read. Thanks.
Thank you.rashi was a jew who penned the tanach and united the jews in the Sanhedrin a few centuries after ad 70. he is a well respected orthodox jew.
Okay and thanks. I truly believe that's a stretch because the man of sin is overcoming his own in that case, and a nation divided, etc. will not stand? I do not believe the antichrist to be any part inanimate but has Satan as his source of power.the main antichrist is the wicked itself which is an inanimate spirit, while the antichrists are the spiritual workers/servants of the unrighteousness/"darkness" among the humans
so from this point of view the "ten kings" can be the antichrists i.e. those that practise an unrighteous spirituality/religion such as yoga/hinduism, indeed every one of the spiritual workers/servants that commit spiritual iniquity risks to turn out that is an antichrist
