EP.753 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2: When the Man of Lawlessness Rises

Join host Jeff Shepherd on Right On Radio for a Sunday deep dive into 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. After opening prayer and a musical intro from DJ Misty B (aka Misty River), Jeff reads and walks listeners through Paul’s warning about end-time deception, the coming “day of the Lord,” and the apostasy that must come first.

This episode covers a wide range of topics: the rapture and timeline debates (pre-trib vs. other views), the identity and timing of the man of lawlessness, what — or who — restrains evil now, and how false signs and wonders will play into the great deception. Jeff critiques the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement, explains why modern manipulative worship and prophetic techniques are dangerous, and contrasts false manifestations with authentic work of the Holy Spirit.

Key points emphasized: don’t be quickly shaken by spirits, messages, or letters; hold fast to Scripture and the gospel; be discerning in the face of modern prophetic claims; plan practically for trials rather than assuming instant escape; and keep trusting in God’s provision and comfort. Jeff argues the restrainer is tied to Jesus/the Word of God rather than an absence of the Holy Spirit, and he explains how the Lord will ultimately defeat the lawless one.

Guests and voices on the episode include DJ Misty B (Misty River), Sister Wendy, prayer leaders Laura and Kimberly, and several Right On Radio community members who joined the live prayer call. The show also features a powerful testimony: a first-time prayer caller received an instantaneous miracle after anointed prayer, illustrating the difference between counterfeit signs and genuine Holy Spirit activity.

Practical takeaways and community notes: be a Berean—test everything by Scripture, guard your personal walk and prayer life, and do not let social media, angry emails, or manipulative messages derail your faith. The host encourages listeners to stay active in prayer, expect God to move, and prepare spiritually and practically for difficult days.

Announcements: Jeff shares scheduling news (a short sabbatical, possible Podbean live updates from a camping trip) and invites listeners to support Right On Radio via the Linktree links in the episode description. Closing encouragements: be loved, be blessed, stand firm, and continue to pray for the ministry and for Jeff as he steps away briefly.
