Chapter 2 | |
1 | Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our ADONAY YAHSHUA MASHIYACH, and by our gathering together unto him, |
2 | 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 MASHIYACH is at hand. |
3 | 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; |
4 | Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called EL, or that is worshipped; so that he as EL sitteth in the temple of EL, shewing himself that he is EL. |
5 | Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? |
6 | And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. |
7 | For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. |
8 | And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the ADONAY shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: |
9 | Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, |
10 | And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. |
11 | And for this cause ELOHIYM shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: |
12 | That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. |
13 | But we are bound to give thanks alway to ELOHIYM for you, brethren beloved of the ADONAY, because EL hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: |
14 | Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our ADONAY YAHSHUA MASHIYACH. |
15 | Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. |
16 | Now our ADONAY YAHSHUA MASHIYACH himself, and ELOHIYM, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, |
17 | Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. |
