Book excerpt: The Apostle Paul wrote to the Church at Thessalonica that:Before Jesus returned for them on the "day of the Lord", the "man of lawlessness", the Antichrist, would appear, claim to be God and perform miracles. God would cause those, who "refused to love the truth", to believe the lie, that the Antichrist is Christ. "All will be condemned who have not believed the truth". Those, with no love of the truth, have been set up by God to worship the Antichrist, "receive a mark" - "666" and be eternally damned. 2 Thessalonians 2; Revelation 13;14 (NIV)
