Verse in Context
Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:
8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;
9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie,
12 that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
