The Sabbath Deeper

Anti-Christ Is Coming!

Jonathan Peinado, DMin Season 9 Episode 6

In this episode, we explore 2 Thessalonians 2 focusing on Paul’s warning about the coming “man of sin” and the events leading up to the return of Christ. Drawing heavily from Daniel 2, 7, 8, and 11, we examine the historical and prophetic role of Rome, the rise of apostasy within the Christian church, and the restraining forces at work in the great controversy between good and evil. Key biblical themes such as *revelation* versus *appearing* help frame Paul’s argument and ground our hope in Scripture.

The episode then turns to Paul’s sobering shift toward an end-time, supernatural deception—a counterfeit second coming empowered by satanic signs and wonders, foretold by Jesus and echoed in Revelation. Yet this is not a message of fear. Paul closes with assurance, calling believers to gratitude, faithfulness, and perseverance in truth, reminding us that prophetic understanding must always serve a lived, Christ-centered walk in the present while we await His true coming.
