The Man of Sin – April 3

By Smith Wigglesworth

Many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. —2 John 7

Scripture reading: 1 John 2

When I was in Sydney, they said, ―Whatever you do, you

must see this place that they built for the man, the new

man who is coming.‖

Theosophy, which is based on theories of reincarnation and

other falsities, has a new man. Nothing but Theosophy could have

a new man. The foundation of this Theosophy has always been cor-

ruptible. The formation of Theosophy was connected to one of the

greatest atheists of the day. Theosophy sprang out of atheism.

The Man of Sin, as he comes forth, will do many things. There

will be many false christs, and they will be manifestations of the

forthcoming of the Man of Sin, but they will all come to an end.

The Man of Sin will be revealed.

These people are determined to have a man. They know some-

one has to come. We Christians know who He is who is coming to

us. But these people begin to make a man in this manner: they find

a man in India, they polish him up as much as they can; they dress

him up, but we are told by the Lord that soft clothing can go onto

wolves‘ backs (Matt. 7:15).

We find that they are going to bring this man forth in great

style. When I went around the amphitheater in Sydney that was

made for this man to come, I saw as clearly as anything it was the

preparation for the Man of Sin. But they do not believe that.

What will make you to know it is the Man of Sin? This: every

religious sect and creed that are in the world all join to it. There is

not a religion known that has not joined with it.

Why, that is exactly what the Devil wants. He wants all the

false religions joining together, and the Man of Sin will be received

with great applause when he comes.

Who will be saved? Who will know the day? Who now knows

the Man of Sin? We feel him when we touch him, when he opens

his mouth, when he writes in the newspaper, when we see his ac-

tions—we know who he is.

What has the Man of Sin always said? Why, exactly what Je-

hovah‘s Witnesses say. What? That there is no hell. The Devil has

always said that. What does Christian Science say? No hell, no De-

vil. They are ready for him. The Devil has always said no hell, no

evil. And these people are preparing, though they do not know it,

for the Man of Sin.

We have to see that these days have to come before the Lord

can come. There has to be a “falling away” (2 Thess. 2:3). There

has to be in this day a manifestation so clear, of such undeniable

fact. I tell you, when they begin to build temples for the Man of Sin

to come (though they don‘t know it), you know the Day is at hand.

A person said to me, ―You see, the Christian Scientists must

be right. Look at the beautiful buildings; look at all the people fol-

lowing them.‖ Yes, everybody can belong to it. You can go to any

brothel you like, you can go to any theater you like, you can go to

any race course you like, you can be mixed up with the rest of the

people in your life and still be a Christian Scientist. You can have

the Devil right and left and anywhere and still belong to Christian

Science.

When the Man of Sin comes, he will be hailed on all sides.

When he is manifested, who will miss him? Why, the reverent, the

holy, the separated will miss him. Why will they miss him? Because

they will not be here to greet him!

Thought for today: He who has been begotten in you is the very

God of power who will preserve you and bring forth light and truth

so that your vision will be clear.
