There are many of you who keep up with this blog as lurkers. : ) I don't mind that at all. But I hear from many of you and I want each of you to know that I love you. Tonight as I studied God's Word I was encouraged by the Spirit to include this chapter on my blog. This chapter of 2 Thessalonians deals with some end time truths. As I read, I really consciously thought of some of you who I do not recall a statement of Faith from. In other words, are these precious folks that I hold dear Saved by God's grace? I Pray that you are and that if you aren't you will take heed to this warning and really open yourself up to the opportunity. Time is passing quickly and the end is near according to God's Word. When Jesus appears in the clouds and we are called up to meet Him in the sky, it will be done and your chance will be gone. Things will continue on earth, but those who have heard the gospel and rejected it will be disillusioned and will suffer the consequences with satan. Please, I beg of you... do not be in that number. It pains my heart to think of those of you who I hold so dear dying and going to hell. Please ask Jesus into your heart. And if you need me... just email, call, text, comment. I'll be as much help as I can possibly be.
2 Thessalonians 2 (King James Version)
1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2That ye 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.
3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
