Thessalonians part 21

Mans religion, is in division, derangement and demoniacal control by way of a strong delusional influence and the world at large resistance to and even the denying of these things, as it remains under the veil of evil that separates. Separates man from God's restored kingdom within those who would otherwise be receptive of Him.


I must exercise much restraint and care to keep from doing what always has been done by men of the flesh or those who focus on purely the literalism of the text. You see, Paul as in all of his Epistles is addressing those who have received of the Spirit of the LORD and are therefore partakers of His second coming in Spirit form, as found in Acts 2. This is the restoration as first promised man in Genesis 3:15. At first as the Holy Spirit, as our deposit and promise of better things of inheritance, yet to come. And then after we have progressed according to God's plan through Redemption. Wherein we come face to face with our own undoneness and total bankruptcy of sin and are faced again with a crisis of choice. We can choose Life and the better things or remain dead to God, our choice. The way we choose will determine our own destination or will determine our progression into His Salvation and resurrection Life with the companing power of Truth or to be spued out of His mouth as being lukewarm or cold. Our very life then depends on His Life within, a Life of continued revelation of the LORD, as we learn of Christ.


It is through this study that I will in the LORD attempt to remove or lift this veil from understanding as this has been my goal from the get go.

Our first call will be on the antichrists.These people will reflect the following charactistics by having the nature of the “Man of Sin,” discribed in 2Thessalonians 2:3, the “Son of Perdition” in 2Thessalonians 2:3-4, the “Wicked one,” described in 2Thessalonians 2:8-12, the “Antichrist” in 1John 2:18-23 and the “Beast” described in Revelation 11:7.

Then as “the Lawless” in 2Thessalonians 2:3-12, “Opposing Christ” in 2Thessalonians 2:4, “Working lying signs and wonders” in 2Thessalonians 2:9, “Deceiving the world” in 2John 7 and Revelation 19:20, “Persecuting Christians” in Revelation 13:7, being “Satan inspired” in 2Thessalonians 2:9, “Denying Christ's incarnation” in 1John 4:3, 2John 7, “One of Many” in 1John 2:18-22, “a Person and a System” in 2Thessalonians 2:3 and 7, “Seeks man's worship” in 2Thessalonians 2:4.

Then we will look at “his coming foretold” in 2Thessalonians 2:5-12, “in the last time” in 1John 2:18, “now hinders” in 2Thessalonians 2:6, “follows the removal of his hinderence” in 2Thessalonians 2:7-8, “before Christ's retrun” in 2Tessalonians 2:8, “Satan's deception” in 2Tessalonians 2:9-10.

Lastly the Destruction of, “at Christ's return” 2Thessalonians 2:8 and Revelation 19:20, “Eternal Hell” in Revelation 20:10. You will notice that many of these chacteristics are described within the framework of the same passages of chapter 2:3-12 and may even seem to overlap in many cases, this I'll leave as is to allow the Spirit of Truth within you to reveal how, who and why it is so.

 

The Man of Sin

2Thessalonians 2:1-2 “Now we (the LORD'S ontological essense within Paul) beseech you, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (His restoration or incarnation within those receptive of Him in Spiritual form), and by our gathering together unto him, that you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.”

I'll begin in 2Thessalonians 2 verses 1-2: “Now we beseech you, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (Paul as in all of his Epistles is addressing those who have received of the ontological Spirit of the LORD and are therefore partakers of His second coming in Spirit form, to which the Lord Jesus Himself spoke of in veiled language during His ministery to Israel in which He could speak in no other language being under the rule of Commandment and the Prophets), and our gathering together to Him (we have already in figurative language been gathered to Him, where we become One with Him just as Jesus prayed, as recorded by John in chapter 17 of his synoptic gospel. And are now awaiting our being saved from destruction and wrath, for we find this in the Hebrew letter at 9:28: “Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; for them that look for Him shall He appear the second time (for those counted among those) without sin for salvation.” To the addressing of yet a second day Peter states in 2Peter 3:10-13 about the firey trail or vengence in wrath that is to be the day of the LORD. When the LORD makes a physical appearance just after His saints have been removed by Him in a calling upward. In verse 14 we find a word of warning, “The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Then all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting to the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
 

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.”), that you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.” There had been some who spoke as if this day had already taken place because they had no knowledge of Christ and the spiritual meaning and purpose of scripture. As many of our own day and times still do not, for they deny the spirituallity of all things now spirit. If we remain as an outsider of the spiritual kingdom of heaven and of God we will like them stand the wrath and judgment of God in Christ Jesus.
