Only there is one who restrains now Until he is taken out of the way 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

Even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan With all power and signs and lying wonders And with all deception of wickedness for those Who are being lost because they didn’t receive the love of truth
