2 Thessalonians 2:9
_ _ whose coming — The same Greek as was used for the Lord’s coming (2 Thessalonians 2:8) or personal “presence.”
_ _ is — in its essential character.
_ _ after — according to the working (“energy”) of Satan, as opposed to the energy or working of the Holy Spirit in the Church (see on Ephesians 1:19). As Christ is related to God, so is Antichrist to Satan, his visible embodiment and manifestation: Satan works through him. Revelation 13:2, “The dragon gave him (the beast) his power ... seat ... great authority.”
_ _ lying wonders — literally, “wonders” or “prodigies of falsehood.” His “power, signs, and wonders,” all have falsehood for their base, essence, and aim (John 8:44), [Alford]. In Matthew 24:24 Jesus implies that the miracles shall be real, though demoniac, such mysterious effects of the powers of darkness as we read of in the case of the Egyptian sorcerers, not such as Jesus performed in their character, power, or aim; for they are against the revealed Word, and therefore not to be accepted as evidences of truth; nay, on the authority of that sure Word of prophecy (here, and Matthew 24:24), to be known and rejected as wrought in support of falsehood (Deuteronomy 13:1-3, Deuteronomy 13:5; Galatians 1:8, Galatians 1:9; Revelation 13:11-15; Revelation 19:20). The same three Greek words occur for miracles of Jesus (Acts 2:22; Hebrews 2:4); showing that as the Egyptian magicians imitated Moses (2 Timothy 3:1-8), so Antichrist will try to imitate Christ’s works as a “sign,” or proof of divinity. |
2 Thessalonians 2:9
(9) [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and (m) lying wonders,
(9) He foretells that Satan will bestow all his might and power, and use all false miracles that he can to establish that seat, and that with great success, because the wickedness of the world does so deserve it: yet in such a way that only the unfaithful will perish through his deceit.
(m) Which are partly false, and partly done to establish a falsehood. |
