THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

 

2 Thessalonians Chapter 2, AMP

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

And our Gathering Together to [meet] Him,

We Beg you Brethren,

2 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 letter [alleged to be] from us, to the Effect

That THE DAY OF THE LORD has [already] Arrived and is here.

3 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 (Sin) Lawlessness is Revealed,

Who is the Son of Doom (of perdition),

[1 Tim. 4:1; Dan. 7:25; 8:25.]

4 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.]

5 Do you not Recollect

That when I was still with you I Told you These Things?

6 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,

7 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.

8 And then the Lawless One (the Antichrist)

Will be Revealed

AND THE LORD JESUS WILL SLAY HIM

WITH THE BREATH OF IS MOUTH

And bring him to an End by His Appearing

At His Coming. [Isa. 11:4.]

9 The Coming of the Lawless One, the Antichrist

Is through the Activity and Working of Satan,

And All Sorts of [pretended] Miracles and Signs

And Delusive Marvels, All of them Lying Wonders.

10 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.

11 Therefore GOD SENDS upon them a Misleading Influence,

A Working of Error and a Strong Delusion

To make them Believe what is False.

12 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.

(2 Thessalonians 2: 1-12, AMP)

Today, All those who have not been Born Again

And are Not Walking in the Light of Christ Jesus

And His Word, are Deluded.

This Delusion will be Ever Increasing,

Until the time the Lawless One is Revealed.

The Road to Life, is a Narrow Road

And Only a Few Find It.

The Other Road, is a Wide Road,

That Leads to Destruction,

And Most are on that Road.
