The New life in Christ: Their destiny is destruction, their God is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. Philippians 3:19.

There were also false prophets among the people.

Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.

In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up.

Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

If this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trails and to hold the unrighteous for the Day of Judgment, while continuing their punishment. 2Peter 2:1-3 & 2:9.

The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

And so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have

delighted in wickedness. 2Thessalonians 2:9-12. Amen.
