Thessalonians part 32

In 2John 7-11 “For many deceivers are entered the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (this has a double meaning and many do not acknowledge the first let alone the second, because these things all remain and secret or mystery to them). This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, have not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son. If there come anyone to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into (your) house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddes him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

I am deeply saddened to say that our churches are not as they seem because of the false teaching which pushes us toward another gospel of the future glories in His presense and of riches and well being today. Because the word “nigh” as used in the synoptic gospels equates to our word “near,” at hand, within sight and is available for our receiving NOW. Jesus said to ask! Ask, without doubt and questioning as in the rebellion (Genesis 3:1-7a). But sadly many just "ask" without expectancy, as little child always ask with great expectancy and are not often let down but usually receives all and more then asked for, because they ask with trust. But the false gospel does not build upon this fact, it moves all in another direction away from God's Truth in Christ, which is Christ in you, or the reentry of GOD within us.

 

Did Jesus ever speak of “antichrist” ? No, but He did however speak of “false christs” as seen in Matthew 24:24, where Jesus is speaking of the perilous times to come and this is repeated in Mark 13:22 where He is speaking of things to come to this wise. Beginnin at verse 15 of Matthew 24, through 28, with emphasis on verse 24, and verses 29-31 is where we find this; “When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel (in 9:27, 12:11) the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains (this day has taken place as spoken of by Daniel in 9:27, 11:31-35, 12:11-13 these all speak of the “hitherto,” this took place in 68-70AD): Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say to you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
