No, you misunderstood, God would never withhold grace from his children to resist evil, what I meant was in recognizing the evil.

If the bible is correct and majority of people will be deceived by the AC and not recognize him for who he truly is, that implies recognition/ discernment will be the problem.

But the end result in your scenario would be the same, yes? That God would not allow us to recognize the AC, and therefore we might unwittingly give our allegiance to him?

According to scripture, allegiance to the AC is idolatry – he will be worshiped. Would God withhold His grace and allow His children to remain in ignorance and fall into the sin of idolatry? :eek:

1 Cor. 10:13 would say otherwise:

“No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.”

And the very next verse is this:

“Therefore, my beloved, avoid idolatry.”

How can you possibly reconcile these scriptures with God allowing His children who will be alive at the time of the AC to be deceived, to worship the AC, and to lose their souls for all eternity?

That is NOT the God I worship! ❤️

During those times, evil will be called good and good will be called evil…its not going to be so black and white.

**2 Thessalonians:
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
**

Paul warned about the antichrist’s deception. “The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

How else would you explain why a majority of people will fall for the deception of the AC?
