And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
Reason = they accepted lies, just swallowed what they were told, when The Book shows otherwise.
God didn't send the lie, not his lie, it's because they accepted "the lie" and didn't accept the truth, he will send delusions so they keep believing this lie. They get their wish, not to accept, receive the truth.
Nothing new under the sun, what was will be. End revealed from the beginning -> early beginning they accepted lies, reverse that and it will be near the end before lies go, hence Jesus comes and exposes the lies.
