WHEN WILL THE LORD COME?

But relative to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah,

And our gathering together to [meet] Him, we beg you, brethren,

Not to allow your minds to be quickly unsettled or disturbed

Or kept excited or alarmed,

Whether it be by some [pretended] revelation of [the] Spirit

Or by word or by letter [alleged to be] from us,

To the effect that The Day Of The Lord has [already] arrived and is here.

LET NO ONE DECEIVE OR BEGUILE YOU in any way,

For That Day will not come except the APOSTASY COMES FIRST--

That is, unless the [predicted] GREAT FALLING AWAY

Of those who have professed to be Christians has come--

AND THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED,

Who is the Son Of Doom (of PERDITION), [1 Tim. 4:1; Dan. 7:25; 8:25.]

Who opposes and exalts himself so proudly and insolently

AGAINST AND OVER ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD or that is worshiped,

[Even to his actually] taking his seat in the Temple of God,

Proclaiming that he himself is God. [Dan. 11:36, 37; Ezek. 28:2.]

Do you not recollect that when I was still with you I told you these things?

And now you know what is RESTRAINING him

[From being revealed at this time];

It is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed] time.

For the MYSTERY of Lawlessness--

That hidden principle of REBELLION against constituted authority--

Is already at work in the World,

[But it is] RESTRAINED only until He who restrains is taken out of the way.

AND THEN THE LAWLESS ONE (The Antichrist) will be revealed

And the Lord Jesus will SLAY him with the Breath of His Mouth

And bring him to an END by His appearing at His Coming. [Isa. 11:4.]

The coming [of the Lawless One, the Antichrist]

Is through the activity and working of Satan,

And will be attended by Great Power

And with all sorts of [pretended] miracles and signs

And DELUSIVE MARVELS--ALL of them LYING WONDERS--

AND BY UNLIMITED SEDUCTION TO EVIL

And with all WICKED DECEPTION for those who are (going to Perdition,)

PERISHING because they did not welcome the TRUTH

But REFUSED TO LOVE IT that they might be SAVED.

Therefore God sends upon them a MISLEADING INFLUENCE,

A working of ERROR and a STRONG DELUSION

To make the believe WHAT IS FALSE.

In order that ALL may be Judged and Condemned who did not believe--

Who REFUSED to Adhere to, Trust in and Rely on—the TRUTH,

But [instead] took pleasure in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.

But we, brethren beloved by the Lord,

Ought and are obligated [as those who are in debt]

To give thanks always to God for you,

Because God chose you from the Beginning [to be the first converts]

For Salvation through the sanctifying work of the (Holy) Spirit

And [your] belief in—adherence to, Trust in and Reliance on—the TRUTH.

[It was] to this END that He called you through our Gospel,

So that you may obtain and share in the Glory

Of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

So then, brethren, STAND FIRM and HOLD FAST to the traditions

And instructions which you were taught by us,

Whether by our world of mouth or by letter.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God the Father,

Who loved us and gave us Everlasting Consolation and Encouragement

And well-founded HOPE through [His] Grace (unmerited favor),

Comfort and Encourage your hearts and strengthen them--

Make them STEADFAST and keep them unswerving--

In every good work and word. (2 Thessalonians 2, AMP)

We are living in the Last of the Last Day of Time.

The Fig Tree, Israel, is leafed out [Matt. 24:32] as Scripture foretold.

Having been brought back from the four corners of the World--

An unheard of event in the history of mankind, as Scripture foretold.

THIS IS THE SEASON OF THE LAST GENERATION.

Those of us living today will see the return of the Lord.

The APOSTASY that the apostle Paul spoke of is under way

Due to the pressure of America's godless, Secular Humanist Culture--

The Culture that makes man “god,”

And everyone does what is right in their own eyes--

The Culture that HATES Christ Jesus

Because He tells them that what they do is EVIL.

When Hitler came to power in Germany

Most of the Church of Christ submitted to him, an anti-Christ.

There was a False Prophet—a Church leader--

That encouraged the Churches to do so.

We can expect the same thing to happen in America

When the Final Antichrist is revealed.

If the time of Hitler is indicative of the behavior of the “Church,”

Most Christians in America will receive the “mark” of the Beast

Condemning themselves to and Eternal Hell.

It will be put forward as their “Patriotic Duty” to do so.

This is the question?

Will you be DECEIVED by the Great Signs and Miracles

Performed by the Antichrist and his False Prophet?

A DELUSION, so Great, as to DECEIVE even the ELECT--

If that were possible. (Matthew 24:24)

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
