The following verses (vv. 10-12) have been even more striking to me. V.9 says, "The coming of whom ..." referring to this "lawless one."
These last few years have displayed such a growing "
delusion, the operation of error, (v.11)
sent by God Himself to those who
rejected the love of truth, that they all would
believe the lie."
This partly explains the great apostasy. Not just in the church, but all mankind rejecting what is true, what is truth. People are even losing the ability to find and know what is true.
