[Intro]
In the time of great deception
Some biblical reflection
You brought on this mess
The man of lawlessness
[Verse 1]
Stealing money from a charity
And, to think it’s not a rarity
Reeling self-dealing
Incrimination of the Foundation
[Chorus]
In the time of great deception
Some biblical reflection
You brought on this mess
The man of lawlessness
[Bridge]
Outlawed the law
(Evil on call)
Where to begin
(With all the sin)
Lawlessness
(Time to confess)
[Verse 2]
Liable for sexual abuse
(Can you hear… what’s the use)
A convicted felon
(Whinin’ and yellin’)
[Chorus]
In the time of great deception
Some biblical reflection
You brought on this mess
The man of lawlessness
[Bridge]
Outlawed the law
(Evil on call)
Where to begin
(With all the sin)
Lawlessness
(Time to confess)
[Chorus]
In the time of great deception
Some biblical reflection
You brought on this mess
The man of lawlessness
[Outro]
Outlawed the law

ABOUT THE SONG
The “Man of Lawlessness” is a figure mentioned in the Bible, specifically in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, where the Apostle Paul warns early Christians about a future time of great deception before the return of Christ. This figure is often associated with the Antichrist and is described as a person who will oppose God, deceive many, and ultimately be destroyed by Christ at His second coming.
Key Biblical Passages:
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (NIV)
“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.”
This passage highlights several characteristics of the Man of Lawlessness:
- Deception: He will deceive many, leading them away from the truth.
- Opposition to God: He will claim authority over divine matters and present himself as God.
- Rebellion: His appearance will be tied to a period of great apostasy or rebellion against God.
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 (NIV)
“For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.”
This suggests that:
- There is already a force of lawlessness at work in the world.
- A restraining force (believed by some to be the Holy Spirit or human authority) is currently holding back the full revelation of the Man of Lawlessness.
- His reign will ultimately be ended by Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 (NIV)
“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.”
This indicates:
- The Man of Lawlessness will perform counterfeit miracles and signs.
- His power will be derived from Satan.
- His deception will lead many people astray.
Theological Interpretations:
- Symbolic View: Some theologians believe the Man of Lawlessness represents general lawlessness, corruption, or oppressive political/religious systems rather than a single individual.
- Futurist View: Others interpret the passage as referring to a future world leader (the Antichrist) who will emerge before Christ’s return.
- Historical View: Some scholars see this figure as having already appeared in history in the form of oppressive rulers or false religious leaders.
Connection to Other Biblical Passages:
- Daniel 7-8: The figure resembles the “Little Horn” that exalts itself above God.
- Matthew 24: Jesus warns about false Christs and deception in the last days.
- Revelation 13: The Beast of Revelation shares many characteristics with the Man of Lawlessness.
Conclusion:
The Bible presents the “Man of Lawlessness” as a future figure of deception and rebellion, closely linked to the end times and the final judgment. Believers are urged to remain steadfast in faith and discernment, recognizing the signs of his coming and trusting in Christ’s ultimate victory over evil.
TRUMP
President Donald Trump and his associated entities have been involved in numerous legal proceedings, encompassing civil and criminal cases, impeachments, bankruptcies, defamation suits, sexual assault allegations, and controversies surrounding both non-profit and for-profit ventures. Below is an overview:
Criminal Indictments and Convictions:
- 2023-2024 Criminal Cases: Between 2023 and 2024, Trump faced four criminal indictments on charges including fraud, election subversion, and obstruction. These marked the first instances of a former U.S. president facing criminal charges.
- 2025 Conviction: In early 2025, Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts related to concealing a “hush money” transaction intended to hide a sex scandal from voters. Despite the conviction, he was sentenced to no penalty, making him the first individual convicted of a felony to assume the office of president.
Civil Lawsuits and Investigations:
- New York Civil Fraud Lawsuit: In September 2022, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a civil lawsuit against Trump, his three eldest children, and the Trump Organization, alleging over 200 instances of fraud and misrepresentation. The suit sought $250 million in penalties and aimed to restrict future business activities in New York. In February 2024, a judge ordered Trump to pay a penalty exceeding $450 million and barred him from leading any New York company for three years.
Defamation and Sexual Assault Cases:
- E. Jean Carroll Case: In 2019, writer E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. Trump denied the allegation, leading Carroll to file a defamation lawsuit against him. In May 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding Carroll $5 million in damages. Subsequent appeals by Trump were rejected, and in a later ruling, he was ordered to pay an additional $83.3 million in damages.
- Other Allegations: Multiple women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct over the years. While he has denied these allegations, they have led to various legal challenges and public scrutiny.
Impeachments:
- First Impeachment (2019): The House of Representatives impeached Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to his dealings with Ukraine. The Senate acquitted him in early 2020.
- Second Impeachment (2021): Following the January 6 Capitol riot, Trump was impeached again, this time for incitement of insurrection. The Senate acquitted him in February 2021.
Bankruptcies:
While Trump has not filed for personal bankruptcy, several of his business ventures have declared bankruptcy, particularly in the casino and hotel sectors during the 1990s and early 2000s. There have been six bankruptcies — seven if you count one company that emerged from bankruptcy only to engage in further malfeasance, deceiving lenders for more money before declaring bankruptcy again.
Legal Issues Involving Non-Profit and For-Profit Entities:
- Trump University: Established in 2005, Trump University offered real estate training programs. It faced multiple lawsuits alleging fraudulent practices, including a significant case in which plaintiffs accused the institution of misleading students about the quality of education provided. In 2018, a federal judge finalized a $25 million settlement to resolve these lawsuits, allowing former students to receive compensation for their financial losses.
- Donald J. Trump Foundation: Founded in 1988, the Trump Foundation came under scrutiny for alleged misuse of funds, including accusations of self-dealing and advancing Trump’s political interests. In 2019, the New York Supreme Court ordered Trump to pay $2 million in damages for improperly using charitable assets to intervene in the 2016 presidential primaries and further his own political interests.
Jail
Both Allen Weisselberg, the former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Trump Organization, and Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and “fixer,” were convicted and served prison sentences due to their involvement in financial crimes related to their roles within the Trump Organization.
Allen Weisselberg:
Weisselberg was implicated in a tax fraud scheme involving the Trump Organization. He pleaded guilty to 15 felony charges, including grand larceny, criminal tax fraud, and falsifying business records. These charges stemmed from his failure to pay taxes on $1.7 million in indirect compensation, which included benefits such as a rent-free luxury apartment, private school tuition for his grandchildren, and leased Mercedes-Benz vehicles. In January 2023, Weisselberg was sentenced to five months in jail and began serving his sentence at Rikers Island.
Michael Cohen:
Cohen pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including tax evasion, bank fraud, and campaign finance violations. The campaign finance violations were particularly notable, as they involved orchestrating hush money payments to women alleging affairs with Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. These payments were intended to influence the election by suppressing potentially damaging information. In December 2018, Cohen was sentenced to three years in federal prison.
