2 Thessalonians 1:1-12

(2 Thessalonians 1:1-12) p aul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus...

2 Thessalonians 2:1-8

(2 Thessalonians 2:1-8) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,   That 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. Let 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; Who 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.   Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.   And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and sh...

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) 『 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,   And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.   And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:   That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 』   Satan is a Hebrew language. The Greek word for the New Testament was also called Satan. Satan was Lucifer (commandment: Helrell) in the kingdom of God, but he wanted to be like God and was pushed into the world against God, but he was given the power to govern the world for a period of time. So, everyone became a servant of Satan. But those who escape from Satan are deceived by Satan. God uses Satan as a tester. The representative person would be Job. Even Jesus was tempted by Satan. Jesus in John 18:36 『 Jesu...

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14

(2 Thessalonians 2:13-14) 『 But 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: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 』   Those who are chosen are first responded by being called to the gospel. Just being called is not all about being chosen. When the Hebrews cried out to God, God brought them out of Egypt. However, they crossed the Red Sea, but they had no faith in Canaan. Today, even though the people of the Church are called to the gospel, there are not many who are chosen because they do not repent. If you do not choose, "the sanctification of the Holy Spirit and the saving of the truth by faith" does not apply.   The Saints in Thessalonica Church were born again by the Holy Spirit. In 1 Peter 1:2 『 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,...

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5

(2 Thessalonians 3:1-5) 『 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:   And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 』   This means to pray to God, "Please deliver from unreasonable and evil people." There are irrational people in the church. They are not saved. The Lord is fair and righteous. Faith is not for everyone. 1 Timothy 3:9 speaks of the church's office (deacon). 『 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. What is the secret of faith? The condition of salvation was Paul said in Acts 20:21: 『 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,...

2 Thessalonians 3:6-18

  (2 Thessalonians 3:6-18) Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ , that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, n...
