2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

2 Thessalonians

• 1 Now brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together with Him,

1 Thessalonians 4 

• 15 According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep
• 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first?
• 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 

• 1 we ask you,
• 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come
• 3 Let no one deceive you by any means, m for that day (1 Thessalonians 4 :15-17) will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin (Revelation 13:1 And I saw a beast coming out of the sea) is revealed, the son of perdition
• 4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God
• 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you all these things?
• 6 And now you not what is restraining (Revelation 9:1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the abyss.), that he may be revealed in his own time (Revelation 13).
• 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work and He who now restains will do so until he is taken away (Revelation 9).
• 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed (Revelation 13), who the Lord will consume with his breath of his mouth and destroy with brightness of his coming 

Revelation 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded tho had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulphur. 

• 9 The coming of the lawless one (Revelation 13) is according to the working of Satan (Revelation 13:2 The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority ), with all the power, signs and lying wonders 

Revelation 13

• 11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 
• 13 And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.

• 10 And will all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not love the truth, that they might be saved 
• 11 All for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe lie
• 12 That they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness
