What is the lie that Satan tells throughout Scripture?
The lie Satan repeats throughout Scripture is that a person can be God. This deception, described as "the lie," entices people to believe they can attain God's place. Those who reject the truth and take pleasure in unrighteousness will embrace the Antichrist as the god of this world.
Les explains that there has been one lie all through Scripture, and he calls it "the lie": Satan tells a person, "You can be God." In the end-time setting, people who have heard the gospel, contemplated it, understood it, and rejected it will be blinded and will immediately embrace the man Antichrist. They will acclaim him as the God of this world, the one they have been looking for. Their condemnation is that they believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Les connects this same kind of language to Ephesians chapter 1, where Paul writes of those who trusted.
