“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.”
–2Thessalonians 2:7
An interesting discussion recently centered on what the mystery of iniquity will be promoting in the time before Jesus Christ returns, as well as what the mystery of iniquity has already promoted.
What is the mystery of iniquity?
The mystery ushering in the man of sin is a mystery of iniquity. It is not open sin and wickedness, but dissembled piety, specious errors, wickedness under a form of godliness cunningly managed
—Matthew Poole Commentary on 2Thessalonians 2:7
Paul also warned of these hidden, ungodly tools of Satan in 2Timothy.
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
–2Timothy 3:5
Hopefully, this background will get the reader up to speed. So what are the themes the reader has already seen or will see in the months ahead? While there are many other media campaigns which have to do with the end times, here are five of the most heavily-promoted and/OR most important.
There are others which may be addressed in the near future.
1- We must all stick together as one or the world will not survive.
“Unity!” has been the cry of the apostates–particularly those who run the buildings we call churches–for some time now. The calls to unite, both in the government/media and as themes in popular entertainment will only grow more frequent.
One cannot govern the entire world if everyone is going off in his own direction, can we?

2- Alien life, then an alien invasion, will threaten the earth.
The alien life fiction is fairly new: it has been promoted heavily by government/media/science and especially entertainment for the past 70 years. Why is this fable so important? Why must it be repeated daily?
Because one way to help unite the earth against Jesus Christ when He returns is to present an otherworldly threat. All end time men–with the exception of those whose names are written in the Book of Life–will worship Satan (the dragon), his one-world empire and his man of sin.
“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13:4-5,7-8
The man of sin will gather the armies of the whole world in an attempt to stop Jesus Christ when He returns.
“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse [Jesus], and against his army. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.”
–Revelation 19:19, 16:16
To unite the earth against Jesus Christ, the world will likely be told that the returning Jesus is an alien invasion.
And the world will not only overwhelmingly agree, it will encourage the man of sin and his armies.
In fact, the world will cheer on the man of sin against Jesus.

3- A return to the Old Covenant.
The man of sin is the false messiah.
Those who do not believe Jesus is the messiah will use their earthly power to bring about a return to the Old Covenant, which is no longer effective. The man of sin will direct this Old Covenant-based worldwide religion.
“In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”
–Hebrews 8:13
Along with various Old Covenant rituals and traditions, will come a return to animal sacrifice, which the LORD no longer honors.
At the present, many churches confuse their congregations with a mixture of the Old Covenant and the New.
Will the temple veil that was torn in two be resewn?
“And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.”
–Mark 15:38
Will God Almighty no longer honor the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ?
“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.”
–Isaiah 1:11
Will God Almighty take up residence in a temple built with hands?
“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands”
–Acts 17:24
IF the reader wants more information on this theme, Google “Hebrew Roots” or “Messianic Judaism.”

4- Near earth objects and asteroids coming close to earth.
This theme is fairly new–it began in the mid-1990s.
It serves as an excuse to manufacture “space weapons” and as a unifying theme.
These stories of asteroids which come close to earth are repeated in the media about one a week or once every other week.

5- The mainstreaming of magic, witchcraft and sorcery (demonic power).
IF the reader has the time and inclination, he likely could find at least two dozen media “news” stories which assure the reader that those convicted by the Salem witch trials were the victims of “hysteria.”
In a similar manner, sorcery, magic and the occult are cleaned up and presented to the public as things which are desirable.
NONE of those who dabble in the forbidden worlds of demonic power come out in good shape.
YET, demonic power is seen by these poor souls as something to be sought.
“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12
In addition, the reader need only think of how many wizards and witches the entertainment industry has turned into heroes over the past 15-20 years.

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
