This blindness could be compared to the blindness of the Pharaoh.

God sends them strong delusions

In what sense? Pharaoh did have a choice, but he kept hardening his heart - then God hardened his heart in order to judge him and free God’s people.

in 2 Thessalonians 2, it says deceived, not blinded. Their choice before the rapture was to receive and believe the truth (and the Saviour) if they understood it - however, once understood, their choice is over once the antichrist comes on the scene.

Thanks, I meant hardening the Pharaoh's heart. After the rapture, God will harden their hearts. Those who are left behind.

It won't be so much hardening their hearts as it will be blinding their eyes because they had already rejected the truth.

Why would God, harden anyone's heart? This is a mystery to me. Maybe to have his Will Done.

From what we find in Scripture, God only hardens hearts when individuals have hardened them first. Such was the case for Pharaoh for example.

Yes. In 2 Thessalonians 2, the people God deceives after the rapture are those who knew the truth and rejected it, basically hardened their heart against the Gospel until it was too late for them.
