INIQUITY in-ik'-wi-ti (`awon; anomia):
In the New testament this word is sometimes translated Lawlessness its just one of words used to depict a state of being.Perhaps its better understood in the Old Testament where we see 11 words translated "iniquity," by far the most common and important is `awon (about 215 times of 278 times in Bible).
Etymologically, it is customary to explain it as meaning literally "crookedness," "perverseness," i.e. evil regarded as that which is not straight or upright, moral distortion (from word `iwwah, meaning "to bend," "make crooked," "pervert").
Some maintain that there are two roots, one equals "to bend," "pervert" (as above), and the other equals "to err," "go astray"; and consequently expresses the idea of error, deviation from the right path, rather than that just of perversion
This is exactly what we see today and while we are told iniquity has been at work for a long time INIQUITY always reaches a Peak
and Gods anger an judgement ensues as it was in the past we warned it will be again.
Gen 19:15
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
Eze 18:26
When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
Eze 18:30
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
In the New Testament We are told that when Iniquity again reaches it Peak Ruin/the End will come.
Currently Christ is standing in restraint and through his faithful the total take over of Iniquity/Lawlessness has not quite reached its Peak but the storm clouds are gathering and we see the darkness is fast out pacing the light
2 Thessalonians explains what is coming when the restraint is removed
The Man of Lawlessness
…6And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.
8And then the lawless one will be revealed
We will know this lawless one as THE ANICHRIST.
However because in his time the World is under Iniquity(the wrong path under perversion in err of their ways), as the restrains has been removed They will not recognize the enemy when he comes.
There is much criticism today of those pointing out the path of Iniquity society is on but for the Watchman those called its upon them to warn of the coming storm Eze.33:6-9
