God is Thought. The brightness
of our revelations depends upon the correctness of our
doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid
one upon
another, ascending into the mind of Christ. May we note that Lucifer
(God’s pure good thoughts) became Satan (God’s perverted and thus
impure evil
thoughts); that is, a holy angel (Spirit) became an unholy angel
(spirit) as he
fell from Grace through his perversion of God’s word
(thoughts). Lucifer-Satan
is now temporarily confined inside an earthly prison called mankind...
and his
fallen minions likewise, and altogether they are symbolized by the
tree
of the knowledge (thoughts) of good and evil.
AS ONE MAN
(Judg
6:14-16) And the LORD looked upon him [Gideon], and
said, Go
in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the
Midianites [Heb:
brawling, contentious, discord, strife] [a type and shadow of all
unsaved men]:
have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall
I save
Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my
father's house. And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee,
and
thou shalt smite the Midianites
as
one man [i.e., as the supernatural Body of Christ with all
its
Spiritual members acting in unified obedience].
1.
(1
Cor 12:27) Now ye are
the body of Christ, and members in particular.
2.
(1 Co
3:16) Know ye not that
ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God [built,
composed
of all the Holy angels (members)] dwelleth in you?
THE SECOND COMING
(2
Thes 2:1,2) Now we beseech [Gk: pray to] you,
brethren, by
[“relative to” Amplif.] the [second] coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto
him [(the
Greek writing convention of pallellism)] [1],
That ye be
not soon shaken [Gk: to waver, be agitated, rocked,
toppled, fig.
destroyed] in mind, or be troubled [Gk:
(to wail);
clamor, be frightened], neither by [fallen, unclean,
demonic]
spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as [if it came] from
us, as [about
news] that the day of Christ [“has [already]
arrived”
Amplif. ] is at hand [“and is here” Amplif.].
1.
(1
Thes 4:16,17) For the
Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice
of the archangel [Michael (Jud 1:9 & Dan 12:1)],
and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then
we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air [ref.
the valley of “dry bones” Ezek 37:1-14]: and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.
LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU
(2
Thes 2:3,4) Let no man deceive [Gk: to seduce
wholly: beguile]
you by any [of the aforementioned] means [1]:
for that day shall not come, except there come a falling
away [Gk:
a defection from truth (“apostasy”)] [2] first, and that
man
[corporate many membered body] of sin
[lawlessness]
be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover, disclosed],
the son [spawn] of perdition [Gk:
damnation, waste]
[doom]; Who [proudly] opposeth
[Gk: is
adversary to] and exalteth himself above all that is
called God,
or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God
[“ye are the temple of God” 1 Cor 3:16, built, composed of all
the Holy
angels (members)], shewing [Gk: to show off, exibiting]
himself
that he is God [a warning to those “deceiving your own
selves”
James 1:22].
1.
(Matt
24:4) And Jesus
answered and said unto them [His diciples], Take heed
[Gk:
look at: behold, beware, perceive, regard, see] that no man
deceive
you.
2.
defection
= Dict: 1. abandonment
of loyalty, duty, principle, etc.; desertion. 2. a failing or failure.
TWO “REVEALINGS” ARE NOW HAPPENING
(2
Thes 2:5-8) Remember ye not, that, when I [the Apostle Paul]
was
yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what
withholdeth [“what
is restraining” NKJV, the evil] that he [the
Christ (the anointing)
in us, the full mind of Christ] might be revealed [Gk:
to
take off the cover, disclosed] in his [appointed]
time [1].
For the mystery of iniquity [“lawlessness: that hidden
principle
of rebellion against constituted authority” Amplif.] doth
already work:
only he who now letteth [“restrains” NKJV] [i.e., by
the presence
of the Holy Spirit anointing in us] will let [restrain],
until he be taken out of the way [until he be “caught
up” 1 Thes
4:17 (i.e., raptured)]. And then shall that Wicked [Gk:
lawless] be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover,
disclosed], whom the Lord shall consume with the
spirit of his
mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness [illumination,
revelation] of his coming: [2]
1.
(Rom
8:18,19) For I reckon
that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be
compared
with the glory which shall be revealed [Gk:
to take off
the cover, disclosed] in us. For the earnest
expectation of
the creature waiteth for the manifestation [Gk:
disclosure: revelation]
of the sons of God [who originally were,
and still
are, angels].
2.
Commentary:
who exactly is
the “he (that shall) be taken out of the way”? = May we
note that
“Legion” (Mark 5:9,15; Luke 8:30) is an instructive example of a single
spirit
that has many spirit members. The “he (that shall) be taken
out of
the way” is the collective mind of Christ present in the world
today in
us (Rom 8:18 & 2 Thes 1:7,10,12), our spirits;
the “he”
is the anointed Spirit (mind) of the many-membered Body of Christ. We
are that one
Body and Jesus Christ is our Head. The anointing that we
have
received is not an anointing of our temporary physical soulical bodies,
but it
is the anointing of our eternal supernatural spirits, the
anointing of our minds, which are contained within the
all-encompassing
many-membered Holy Spirit of God. That same Holy Spirit of God
is now
being collectively withdrawn from our Godly “restraining”
overriding global influence upon the entire world. Consequentially, the
Satanic
influence of strong delusion (“a lying spirit” 1 Kings
22:22,23;
2 Chron 18: 21,22) is proportionately and dramatically increasing, in
effect
replacing our influence. (It is going to get very nasty out there very
soon).
A SIGN: STRONG DELUSION (A LYING SPIRIT)
(2
Thes 2:9-12) Even him, whose coming [“The coming of
the
lawless one, the Antichrist” Amplif.] [the body of the Antichrists] [1]
is
after the working of Satan with all power and signs
and lying
wonders, And with all deceivableness [Gk: delusions]
of
unrighteousness [Gk: iniquity: wrong] in them
that perish
[Gk: are destroyed: die]; because they received
not the
love of the truth, that they might be saved [Gk:
safe,
delivered: healed preserved, made whole]. And for this cause
God
shall send them strong delusion [strong deception],
that
they should believe a lie [Gk: falsehoods: lies]:
That
they all might be damned [Gk: condemned, punished:
avenged]
who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness
[Gk: iniquity: wrong].
1.
(1
John 2:18) Little
children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that
antichrist
[Gk: an opponent of the Messiah] [against Christ] shall come,
even now are there many antichrists; whereby [by
that
sign] we know that it is the last time.
THE BLESSING
(2
Thes 2:13-17) But we are bound to give thanks alway[s]
to God for you, brethren [brothers and sisters: family] beloved
of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning [“
before
the foundation of the world” Eph 1:4]
chosen you to salvation [Gk: rescue or safety: saving]
through
sanctification [Gk: purification] of the Spirit [in
you] and [your] belief of the
truth:
Whereunto he called you by our gospel [Gk: good message],
to the [your] obtaining of the glory of our Lord
Jesus
Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the
traditions [Gk:
precepts] [precept: Dict. = a commandment or direction meant as a rule
of
action or conduct] which ye have been taught, whether by
word, or
our epistle [Gr: letter]. Now 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, Comfort your
hearts,
and [e]stablish you in every good word and work.
