STRONGS NT 458: ἀνομία
2.
contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness:
Matthew 23:28;
Matthew 24:12;
2 Thessalonians 2:8
Where is the mixture of holiness with wickedness in this? They are poles apart.
"The Mystery of Iniquity" is the fact that -- even after the Flood -- God has allowed Satan and his evil spirits to work on humanity and produce lawlessness,wickedness, and idolatry on this earth. It is NOT mixed with holiness.
The culmination of this evil influence will occur when the Antichrist (the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition, the Beast) takes TOTAL CONTROL of this earth for 3 1/2 years, sits in the future temple at Jerusalem and blatantly claims that he is God and Christ, while blaspheming them.
I had written on this in a thread on Christian Apologetics:
INIQUITY
If sin and transgression are continued and become a life style, they become iniquity...this causes spiritual death.
Isaiah 59:2
But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.
Jeremiah 14:10
10Thus says the LORD to this people, “Even so they have loved to wander; they have not kept their feet in check. Therefore the LORD does not accept them; now He will remember their iniquity and call their sins to account.”
The O.T. also speaks about the iniquities of the fathers being passed on to the sons up to the third and fourth generation.
Exodus 34:7
7who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave
the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
Iniquities are passed on,,,not imputed to the children and grandchildren.
How?
1. The children hate God.
Exodus 20:5
5“You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of
those who hate Me,
2. High blood pressure, alcoholism, jealousy, etc. are passed down from generation to generation.
3. James speaks to this:
James 1:15
15Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
