Avoiding Deception About the Antichrist

 The apostle Paul also warned us that truth and righteousness would be twisted or distorted in the last days. In 1 Timothy 4:1-2 he wrote,

    But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron . . . 1 Timothy 4:1-2 (NASB)

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 gives us another warning. This warning is about an evil leader who will appear in the last days—at the beginning of the tribulation. The apostle Paul says,

    Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship . . . 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (NASB)
