So I was raised believing that people can perform miracles ( of course not by any human power) but through the Holy Spirit; such as healing, tongues etc. I've never considered that this belief might be the one described in the bible as the times when Satan will deceive people w/ signs and wonders because i've always understood that would happen after the rapture, but now apparently I may be wrong regarding that too. I've been contemplating this lately and if this is true I would hate to reject it as the truth because of the consequence described in the bible. I don't know if I even have a question, or if any of what I wrote makes sense. I don't even know where to begin to study haha.. I've only even considered this alternate possibility because apparently there hasn't been any claims of miracles for a long time, and that this movement only began I believe about 100 years ago. I don't know what my question is but any reply might help. Thank you, and I don't know if there is a post on this already so I apologize in advance.
2 Thes 2:9
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,
Mark 13:22
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
2 Thes 2:7-12
7. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.
8. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.9. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
10. and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12. in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
