O – Because they rejected the truth in vs. 10, people will turn to a strong delusion.
strong delusion—Greek, “the powerful working of error,” answering to the energizing “working of Satan” (2 Th 2:9); the same expression as is applied to the Holy Ghost’s operation in believers: “powerful” or “effectual (energizing) working” (Eph 1:19).
