Christian Ministry

 

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV

II Thessalonians (Chapters 1, 2, & 3)

 

II Th 1:1-12
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:


These three goodly servants are speaking to a specific group of people.
The word 'church' speaks of the 'called out ones'. It has nothing to do with any specific denomination nor a man-made structure or building.
The name Thessalonians [Thessalonikeus] is derived from the prime 'nike' which means 'conquest, the means of success, and victory'.

 

II Th 1:
2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 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;
4 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:
5 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:


Ps 66:10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

These three are saying that these 'called out ones' are worthy of a little acknowledgement because they have grown in faith and in kindness toward each other. Even in the face of the persecution and tribulation, these have endured and remained faithful and obedient to our FATHER. They shall have been 'tried as silver' during the final hour.

 

II Th 1:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;


Yet, FATHER, in HIS own timing, will give unto those who have troubled HIS 'called out ones', 'their just deserves'.

 

II Th 1:
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.


This speaks of The LORD'S DAY, when our LORD JESUS CHRIST returns.
The 'called out ones' who had been in the flesh, on the Earth, when our LORD returns, shall be avenged.
These called out ones will have continued in their good works and faith while tribulation is all around them.
And, they will continue until our LORD returns.

 

II Th 1:
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. (KJV)


Matt 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

It is not enough to just be 'called out'. The good servant must also continue in their good works and faith. They have need to be tried as 'silver is tried in the fire', so that all the slag is removed, and the silver becomes pure.

 


II Th 2:1-17
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 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 Christ 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;


As FATHER calls out and brings forth HIS servants, HE is warning these to remain calm, and rest in HIM.


Ps 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

The words 'falling away' means 'apostasy'.
HE is also cautioning these servants that the LORD shall not return until after the 'son of perdition' is revealed to be Satan.

2 Cor 11:14-15
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.


This word 'transformed' means 'disguised'. It is from the Hebrew word metaschematizo.
3345 metaschematizo (met-askh-ay-mat-id'-zo);
from 3326 and a derivative of 4976; to transfigure or disguise;
figuratively, to apply (by accommodation):
KJV-- transfer, transform (self).


II Th 2:
4 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.

Satan, this 'son of perdition', shall come disguised, calling himself 'Jesus/King/Savior' and shall be exalted by the majority of the misled people as their 'God'.

The 'called out ones' have works that must be completed just before and after Satan is here (in his pretense of being God).


John 17:12-15
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

Our LORD said, "I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil."

II Th 2:
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 Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

All who reside in the world, at that time, shall see the Wicked One, Satan, the son of perdition, revealed for who he truly is, when our LORD AND SAVIOR, YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, returns.

II Th 2:
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 God 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.


During the final hour in the Earth, many shall come to the truth and realize that they have accepted a fake, the spurious 'Jesus/King/God'.
Yet, many more shall not come to the truth.
And, to those who teach anything contrary to YHVH's Word, FATHER shall send them strong delusion that they believe upon the lies/deception. They shall receive their 'just deserves' and recompensation for teaching their lies.


II Th 2:
13 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:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.


The word "chosen" refers to 'elect / elected'.

Matt 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

Many are called out, but few are chosen, elected.

1 Pet 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

II Th 2:
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 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,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. (KJV)


II Th 3:1-18
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

All men have not faith in YHVH.
What is "
faith"?

Heb 11:1
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (KJV)


II Th 3:
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.


Wait patiently for our true SAVIOR'S return.
Keep your faith in our true SAVIOR.


II Th 3:
6 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.


Withdraw yourselves from those who teach contrary to YHVH's Word.
There is no running away, nor 'flying away'. There will be no physical escaping this time period of the tribulation. Yet, through YHVH's truth, one shall not fail our FATHER.
The false 'Jesus/King/God' shall come and deceive most of the world.
He will have been preceded by his supernatural, spurious religious government.
These supernatural spurious prophets/kings shall arrive in such an awesome manner, that most shall believe the lies/deceptions.
And, when the Wicked One, Satan, the spurious 'Jesus/King/God' arrives in the midst of the final hour, it shall be in such an awesome manner that most of the world will find it difficult to resist.


Satan comes, in his pretense as 'Jesus/King/Savior', bringing peace and prosperity to those who are made loyal to him, but bringing great wrath toward YHVH'S True servants. 
It is important that we know how Satan will appear in his pretense as 'Jesus/King/Savior'.


Ezek 28:11-19
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of  fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring
forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. (KJV)

The 'king of Tyrus' was one of Satan's roles. Satan, as both the serpent and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, was in the garden of Eden.
He held the office as 'protector of the Mercy Seat' in the first Heaven age.
He was created in perfect beauty and having full wisdom. He was perfect until such time that he began being prideful in himself and in his own accomplishments.
Upon his attempted overthrow of YHVH'S KINGDOM, Lucifer was sentenced to perish. This sentence of his complete 
destruction shall not be carried out until the end of the LORD'S DAY.
Satan is evil, although he will appear very beautiful. And having full power, because he is in his supernatural, he shall perform very impressive miracles in the sight of the people. 
Our FATHER, YHVH, has and shall use Satan as an instrument of correction for HIS children.


II Th 3:
7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 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:

These three servants unto YHVH are teaching us not to be beggars as some men are who must beg for money from their flocks.

II Th 3:
9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

By example, we also should not be in debt to others.
And, by teaching the truth of FATHER'S Word, one is then not held accountable for another's sin if they believe not the truth.

Ezek 3:17-21
17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before 
him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. (KJV)


II Th 3:
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

Work in the true Word of GOD, or starve for lack of truth.


II Th 3:
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.


1 Tim 5:12-13
12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.


II Th 3:
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.


Ezek 3:20-21
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before 
him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.


II Th 3:
16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (KJV)
