Summary: The time will come full of deception and lawlessness (abandoning of God's word). A warning and a encouragement of That God will protect and repay justice this second letter to Thessaloniki if short and full of edification for the saints. My favorite part is the end time prophecy from Paul. Take a look at what I found:
Things I Noticed:
1. Since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and grant relief to you who are afflicted.
2. That our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. For the day will not come, unless rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction. (The end time will be herald by rebellion and the revelation of a leader who truly is divorced from all of God's law.)
4. For the mystery of the lawlessness is already at work. (Plans already in movement and being executed.)
5. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. (He will be like a messiah with false miracles and stand against everything that the word calls Holy.)
6. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
7. The Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
8. Do not grow weary in doing good.
Deuteronomy is on the horizon and illuminates wisdom yet unreveiled to me. since my journey to find John will be long I also will be reading Isaiah's writtings. What better way to understand to understand the prophets thenbwith the first. The next length of my quest is led solely by the Spirit. What joys wait over the next hill and dale only God knows. Till we meet again, Read up, Post up, and Shalom.
