CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO THE
LAWLESS ONE• 2 Thes. 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you
by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above
all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself
that he is God.
