THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS

Relative to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah

And our being Gathered Together to [meet] Him,

We beg you brethren,

Not to let 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 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 professed to be Christians has come--

AND THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS (SIN) 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 (the Holy Spirit)

IS TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY. (by God Almighty)

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]

(At the Battle of Armageddon,

At the End of the Three and One-half Year, Great Tribulation)

THE COMING [OF THE LAWLESS ONE, THE ANTICHRIST]

Is through the Activity and Working of Satan,

AND WILL BE ATTENDED BY GREAT POWER

And 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 THE 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 them 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 to 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 fo 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 Word of mouth or by Letter.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God our 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.

We Watch as America and the World become more Lawless

And Overtly Rebellious Against God and His Word;

As Wickedness Increases and the Love of Most Grows Cold [Matt. 24:12]

We Understand that Scripture will be Fulfilled Exactly as God has Written.

Christ Jesus warned us:

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.

(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is Raging Against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in it's 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!
