What does the Bible say about the mystery of iniquity?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible describes the mystery of iniquity as a wicked influence opposing God's truth, revealed especially in 2 Thessalonians 2.

The Bible outlines the mystery of iniquity primarily in 2 Thessalonians 2, where the apostle Paul refers to it as a significant spiritual force at work in the world. This mystery is linked to the concept of Mystery Babylon, described in Revelation 17:5, symbolizing the corrupting influence of freewill works religion. Such a religion diverts believers from the love of truth, becoming an instrument of judgment for those who reject divine grace. Understanding this mystery requires a grasp of the biblical context, recognizing that it unfolds through the apostasy of the church and the revelation of the 'man of sin' who represents rebellion against God.
Scripture References: 2 Thessalonians 2, Revelation 17:5, 2 Thessalonians 2:7, Romans 3:23
