Mystery of Iniquity already works
“For the mystery of iniquity already worketh: only that he who now holdeth do hold, until he be taken out of the way.
And then that wicked one shall be revealed: whom the Lord Jesus shall
kill with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness
of his coming: him
Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power and signs and lying wonders:
And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish: because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”
2 Th 2.7-10
