2Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,G1161G2065G5209G80G5228G3952G2257G2962G2424G5547G2532G2257G1997G1909G8462not 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.G1519G5209G4531G3361G5030G4531G575G3563G3383G2360G3383G1223G4151G3383G1223G3056G3383G1223G1992G5613G1223G2257G5613G3754G2250G5547G17643Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,G1818G3361G5100G1818G5209G2596G3367G5158G3754G3362G2064G646G4412G2532G444G266G601G5207G6844who 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.G3588G480G2532G5229G1909G3956G3004G2316G2228G4574G5620G846G5613G2316G2523G1519G3485G2316G584G1438G3754G2076G23165Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?G3421G3756G3754G5607G2089G4314G5209G3004G5213G50236And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.G2532G3568G1492G2722G1519G846G601G1722G1438G25407For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.G1063G3466G458G1754G2235G1754G3440G737G2722G2193G1096G1537G33198And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.G2532G5119G601G459G601G3739G2962G355G4151G846G4750G2532G2673G2015G846G39529The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,G3739G3952G2076G2596G1753G4567G1722G3956G1411G2532G4592G2532G5579G505910and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.G2532G1722G3956G539G93G1722G622G473G3739G1209G3756G26G225G1519G846G498211And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,G2532G5124G1223G2316G3992G846G1753G4106G1519G846G4100G557912that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.G2443G3956G2919G3588G4100G3361G225G235G2106G1722G93
Stand Fast
