A Dallas Tamil Church Bible Study
 
The goal of this study is to study the enemy that exists who is a defeated foe. He will be eventually pushed into the lake of fire, but until then roars like a lion to devour as many as he can. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil and gave us authority to cast him out of our lives.

Satan and the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition
(Nfl;bd; kfdhfpa ghtkD\d;)
 
Introduction

In the last days, Satan will appear (manifest) as the Man of Sin, just before the day of the Lord. This will be his final outrageous attempt to seduce, and lead many to his own destination of the bottomless pit. In this lesson,we will the description of this Man of Sin. The appearing of the Man of Sin will precede the coming of the reign of Jesus Christ.

 
Man of Sin
 
1. When is the Man of Sin revealed?
 
  1. The period of tribulation is considered as the culmination of the great apostasy. Paul warns us that the day of the Lord will only come after the Man of Sin is revealed.
    1. II njrNyhdpf;Nfau; 2:3.
      vt;tpjj;jpdhYk; xUtDk; cq;fis Nkhrk;Nghf;fhjgbf;F vr;rupf;ifahapUq;fs;; Vnddpy; tpRthr JNuhfk; Ke;jp Neupl;L> Nfl;bd; kfdhfpa ghtkD\d; ntspg;gl;lhnyhopa> me;j ehs; tuhJ.

      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;
    2. 4. mtd; vjpu;j;Jepw;fpwtdhAk;> Njtd; vd;dg;gLtnjJNth> Muhjpf;fg;gLtnjJNth> mitnay;yhtw;wpw;Fk; Nkyhfj; jd;id cau;j;JfpwtdhAk;> NjtDila Myaj;jpy; Njtd;Nghy cl;fhu;e;J> jd;idj;jhd; Njtndd;W fhz;gpf;fpwtdhAk; ,Ug;ghd;.
      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, showing himself that he is God.
  2. The Man of Sin makes his advent (Chafer,2012, p.64), in those days of earth’s darkness and gloom when all the light of God has been withdrawn, and the world is left in its own helpless confusion. The Man of Sin is the agent of Satan who comes after that mighty head of the Satanic System has been cast out of heaven into the earth.
    1. ntsp 12:7.
      thdj;jpNy Aj;jKz;lhapw;W; kpfhNtYk; mtidr; Nru;e;j J}ju;fSk; tYru;g;gj;NjhNl Aj;jk;gz;zpdhu;fs;; tYru;g;gKk; mijr;Nru;e;j J}jUk; Aj;jk;gz;zpAk; n[aq;nfhs;stpy;iy.

      And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
    2. 8. thdj;jpy; mtu;fs; ,Ue;j ,lKk; fhzg;glhkw;Nghapw;W.
      And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

      And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
    4. 10. mg;nghOJ thdj;jpNy xU ngupa rj;jKz;lhfp: ,g;nghOJ ,ul;rpg;Gk; ty;yikAk; ekJ NjtDila uh[;aKk;> mtUila fpwp];Jtpd; mjpfhuKk; cz;lhapUf;fpwJ; ,uTk; gfYk; ek;Kila NjtDf;FKd;ghf ek;Kila rNfhjuu;Nky; Fw;wQ; Rkj;Jk;nghUl;L mtu;fs; Nky; Fw;wQ;rhl;Lfpwtd; jhoj; js;sg;gl;Lg;Nghdhd;.
      And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
    5. 11. kuzk; NeupLfpwjhapUe;jhYk; mjw;Fj; jg;Gk;gb jq;fs; [PtidAk; ghuhky;> Ml;Lf;Fl;bapd; ,uj;jj;jpdhYk; jq;fs; rhl;rpapd; trdj;jpdhYk; mtid n[apj;jhu;fs;.
      And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

      Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
 
2. When is the time of destruction of the Man of Sin
 
  1. When Jesus comes the second time, the Man of Sin will be destroyed
    1. II njrNyhdpf;Nfau; 2:8.
      ePf;fg;gLk;NghJ> me;j mf;fpukf;fhud; ntspg;gLthd;; mtidf; fu;j;ju; jk;Kila thapd; Rthrj;jpdhNy mopj;J> jk;Kila tUifapd; gpurd;dj;jpdhNy ehrk;gz;Zthu;.

      And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

      And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
 
3. What is the identity/description of the Man of Sin
 
  1. The Man of Sin has been described as the little horn in Daniel 7 and is the last and most God-dishonoring world-ruler.
    1. jhdpNay; 7:8.
      me;jf; nfhk;Gfis ehd; ftdpj;jpUf;ifapy;> ,Njh> mitfSf;F ,ilapNy NtnwhU rpd;d nfhk;G vOk;gpw;W; mjw;F Kd;ghf Ke;jpdnfhk;Gfspy; %d;W gpLq;fg;gl;lJ; ,Njh> me;jf; nfhk;gpNy kD\fz;fSf;F xg;ghd fz;fSk; ngUikahdtfisg; NgRk; thAk; ,Ue;jJ.

      I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
  2. The Man of Sin will continue to fight till the Ancient of Days (Jesus) comes.
    1. jhdpNay; 7:21.
      ePz;l MARs;stu; tUkl;lhfTk;> epahatprhupg;G cd;djkhdtUila gupRj;jthd;fSf;Ff; nfhLf;fg;gl;L> gupRj;jthd;fs; uh[;aj;ijr; Rje;jupj;Jf;nfhs;Sk; fhyk; tUkl;lhfTk;>

      I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
    2. 22. ,e;jf; nfhk;G gupRj;jthd;fNshNl Aj;jk;gz;zp mtu;fis Nkw;nfhz;lJ vd;W fz;Nld;.
      Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
  3. The Man of Sin will speak pompous words against the most high
    1. jhdpNay; 7:25.
      cd;djkhdtUf;F tpNuhjkhf thu;j;ijfisg; Ngrp> cd;djkhdtUila gupRj;jthd;fis xLf;fp> fhyq;fisAk; gpukhzq;fisAk; khw;w epidg;ghd;; mtu;fs; xUfhyKk;> fhyq;fSk;> miuf;fhyKk; nry;Ykl;Lk; mtd; ifapy; xg;Gf;nfhLf;fg;gLthu;fs;.

      And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
  4. The Man of Sin is a willful king who shall do what he like.
    1. jhdpNay; 11:36.
      uh[h jdf;F ,\;lkhdgb nra;J> jd;id cau;j;jp> ve;j NjtdpYk; jd;idg; ngupatdhf;fp> Njthjp NjtDf;F tpNuhjkhf Mr;rupakhd fhupaq;fisg; NgRthd;; Nfhgk; jPUkl;Lk; mtDf;Ff; if$btUk;; epu;zapf;fg;gl;lJ ele;NjWk;.

      And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
  5. The Man of Sin will have no regard for the desire of women. All Jewish women wanted to be the mother of Messiah. This is may be the reason the Man of Sin disregards desire for women.
    1. jhdpNay; 11:37.
      mtd; jd; gpjhf;fspd; Njtu;fis kjpahkYk;> ];jpuPfspd; rpNefj;ijAk;> ve;j NjtidAk; kjpahkYk;> vy;yhtw;wpw;Fk; jd;idg; ngupatdhf;fp>

      Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
  6. The Man of Sin will promote his own god (Satan)
    1. jhdpNay; 11:38.
      muz;fspd; Njtidj; jd; ];jhdj;jpNy fdk;gz;zp jd; gpjhf;fs; mwpahj xU Njtidg; nghd;dpdhYk;> nts;spapdhYk;> ,uj;jpdq;fspdhYk;> cr;rpjkhd t];Jf;fspdhYk; fdk;gz;Zthd;.

      But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
  7. Jesus said that he is the one who comes in his own name.
    1. Nahthd; 5:43.
      ehd; vd; gpjhtpd; ehkj;jpdhNy te;jpUe;Jk; ePq;fs; vd;id Vw;Wf;nfhs;stpy;iy> NtnwhUtd; jd; Ra ehkj;jpdhNy te;jhy; mtid Vw;Wf;nfhs;tPu;fs;.

      I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
  8. The Man of Sin will be with power and signs and lying wonders.
    1. II njrNyhdpf;Nfau; 2: 9.
      me;j mf;fpukf;fhuDila tUif rhj;jhDila nraypd;gb rfy ty;yikNahLk; milahsq;fNshLk; ngha;ahd mw;Gjq;fNshLk;>

      And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
  9. The Man of Sin is the first beast described in the book of reveleation.
    1. II njrNyhdpf;Nfau; 2: 9.
      me;j mf;fpukf;fhuDila tUif rhj;jhDila nraypd;gb rfy ty;yikNahLk; milahsq;fNshLk; ngha;ahd mw;Gjq;fNshLk;>

      Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
    2. ntsp 13:2.
      ehd; fz;l kpUfk; rpWj;ijiag;NghypUe;jJ; mjpd; fhy;fs; fubapd; fhy;fisg;NghyTk;> mjpd; tha; rpq;fj;jpd; thiag;NghyTk; ,Ue;jd; tYru;g;gkhdJ jd; gyj;ijAk; jd; rpq;fhrdj;ijAk; kpFe;j mjpfhuj;ijAk; mjw;Ff; nfhLj;jJ.

      And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
 
4. What will people do to the Man of Sin (beast)?
 
  1. They will worship the beast and the devil who gives authority to the beast.
    1. ntsp 13:4.
      me;j kpUfj;jpw;F mg;gbg;gl;l mjpfhuq;nfhLj;j tYru;g;gj;ij tzq;fpdhu;fs;. my;yhkYk;: kpUfj;jpw;F xg;ghdtd; ahu;? mjpNdhNl Aj;jk;gz;zj;jf;ftd; ahu;? vd;W nrhy;yp> kpUfj;ijAk; tzq;fpdhu;fs;.

      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?
    2. 5. ngUikahditfisAk; J}\zq;fisAk; NgRk; tha; mjw;Ff; nfhLf;fg;gl;lJ; my;yhkYk;> ehw;gj;jpuz;L khjk; Aj;jk;gz;z mjw;F mjpfhuq; nfhLf;fg;gl;lJ.
      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.
    3. 6. mJ Njtidj; J}\pf;Fk;gb jd; thiaj; jpwe;J> mtUila ehkj;ijAk;> mtUila thr];jyj;ijak;> guNyhfj;jpy; thrkhapUf;fpwtu;fisAk; J}\pj;jJ.
      And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

      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.
    5. 8. cyfj;Njhw;wKjy; mbf;fg;gl;l Ml;Lf;Fl;bapDila [PtG];jfj;jpy; NgnuOjg;gl;buhj G+kpapd; Fbfs; ahtUk; mij tzq;Fthu;fs;.
      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.
 
5. What is the number of the Man of Sin
 
  1. ntsp 13:18.
    ,jpNy Qhdk; tpsq;Fk;; me;j kpUfj;jpd; ,yf;fj;ijg; Gj;jpAilatd; fzf;Fg;ghu;f;ff;fltd;; mJ kD\Uila ,yf;fkhapUf;fpwJ; mjpDila ,yf;fk; mWE}w;wWgj;jhW.

    Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
 
Conclusion

The time of tribulation and the events following it are an attempt by Satan to make the humanity acknowledge him as their god and that he may himself become like the Most high. However this will be only for a moment; for, “the resistless coming of the ‘Ancient of Days’ will unveil all this deception, banish the enemies, and bring in His own long-predicted and glorious reign of everlasting blessedness upon the earth” (Chafer, 2012, p.71).
