Thessalonians part 3

1Thessalonians 3:1-5, 6-10, 11-13 “Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone; And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlaborer in the gospel of Christ [who's gospel is it, the Gospel of Christ, not of Moses or Israel as it was during the time or dispensation of its administration where GOD was dealing primarily with the Hebrews as the people through whom He would come as promised in Genesis 3:15 and 12:3 in vailed language], to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith: That no man should be moved by these afflictions (this is another confirmation of our stand that we are not to be as proclaimed by todays false gospel, that being on easy street [the broadway of mans creation under Satan's own control and influence as these two letters point out so clearly] through this life in Christ*): for yourselves know that we are appointed thereto. For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, as you know. For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith (Timothy, of verse 2 above), lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.
 *When we have acquired the image of Christ restored within we will take up His standard against evil and all falsehood of man, as Christ-like-ones. It is from this standard that we will be misunderstood and acused of being false, by the false ones.


Now when Timotheus came from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that you have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you: Therefore, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith: For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord. For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God; Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?


Now God Himself, our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you. And the LORD make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end He may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.”

Here again Paul is maintaining that the day of the LORD as being on the horizon, as the range of mans limited knowledge or interest, not to leave out his personal experiences. Paul was executed around 68AD. And from that time forward man has been looking the this day to happen in each generation based upon the record of, wars and rumar of wars, and a few others signs of the times. In our own day we have the rise of the false christs, false prophets and antiChrists in large numbers. Infact as I stated earlier we have also the black, dark or pale horse riders of Relevation 6, who carries the balance of law and religion in his hand now operating among us. From the foundation of the world and its beginning of time God has not been without a Prophet to point the way back to Him, with the Lord Immanuel-Jesus being the greatest of these. Because He, in Jesus came as that one and same Prophet through Whom GOD changed the nature of fallen mankind forever. GOD pulled off the worlds greatest coup d'etat against man and Satan who ruled mankind and still does as a wounded devil. Jesus through His resurrection and that of the ancients made a public spectacle of the deception and this blindsided Satan. Which the Epistles clearly point out as do the Psalms and Prophets within the vailed language of the Old Testament, which requires our having received anew the SPIRIT to both see and hear the rhema of GOD's own words. Upon which we are to live move and have our being.
