Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nothing by the brightness of his coming;
Jesus needs no armies, jet planes, nor guided missiles. All He needs to do is speak His word. Isaiah says, "He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked" (11:4). David emphasizes, "The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, The earth melted" (Psalms 46:6). In 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8, Paul teaches that Jesus will come in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and they shall be destroyed with everlasting destruction. On that terrible blazing Day of the Lord when Jesus comes to execute righteous judgment upon all, there will be kings, great men, captains, bondmen, every free man, who will pray for the rocks and the mountains to fall on them and hide them from His face (Revelation 6:16). The rocks and the mountains will not answer their cry, and the Christ (whose face terrorizes the enemies of God) will need only to speak a word and the diabolical titanic Antichrist will be slain.
