Does the old man get destroyed when someone accepts Christ and the day star arises in their hearts?

Not at the second coming which is when the one man of sin is destroyed by Jesus.





2 Peter 1:19
have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

2 Thessalonians 2 is about the day of Christ, "the day dawning and the day star arising in our hearts". If it was about the day of the Lord the bible would have said - That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Lord is at hand.

Am I seeing that right?

William, who is he?
When does he arrive?
Where does he come from?
Where does God reveal to us everything about him?

What they did was isolate people and with a laptop looking for MAC addresses the people approached the laptop one by one...and the people with the Jab registered a MAC address.
In another test they even went to cemeteries and fresh graves were emitting a MAC address.

My best answer is when they turn it on.
I believe the nano-particles are just one element of the beast system.
The Lucerase tattoo...or what it becomes... could be part of activating the nano-particles. These answers are currently unknown.

I would imagine pretty soon we will all be subjected to the tokenized programmable CBDC as there are several scenarios that may get us there.
So in your view turning on the tech is the mark? I’m trying to pin down what you think the MOB is.
