Now that all of those subjects have been addressed the subject of the coming Son of Perdition may be discussed. Who is the Son of Perdition?He is mentioned here: 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; {4} Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing

himself that he is God." (The temple the Son of Perdition wants to inhabit is our heart)  1 Timothy 4:1 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;" 1 John 2:18 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time." Why does the Lord call us 'little children'? Matthew 18:3 "And [Jesus] said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Converted is to be 'born again', receiving the Holy Spirit in the temple of God; our heart. Ephesians 3:17 “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,” Philippians 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.” Romans 16:18 “For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” 1 Kings 8:12 "¶ Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness." That thick darkness is the temple of God made without hands; our heart.

It is in the Book of Daniel wherein we find the foreshadow of the coming Son of Perdition. In Daniel chapter 8 we find a battle between The Ram with Two Horns and the He Goat. It was about 550BC when Daniel received the vision of this battle when Daniel was about seventy years old. Belshazzar, the Babylonian King who was co-regent with Nabonidus in the Babylonian Empire, and whose name means 'Bel protect the king'. Daniel then identifies him as the son of Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, who lived from 605 to 562 BC, less the seven years he spent having a beasts heart, but the fact is that he was the biological son of Nabunaid (Nabonidus). Belshazzar's mother was a daughter of Nebuchadnezzar. Nabonidus usurped the throne in 555BC. It was Belshazzar whose knees weakened as water when he saw a hand writing on the wall which was written 'Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin' meaning, “Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting”. Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
