Thessalonians Chapter 2.
Strong
Delusion = Confusion
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author of confusion,
but
of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
James
3:16
For where envying and strife is,
there
is confusion and every evil work.

We
will now quote the entire 17 verses of 2 Thessalonians
chapter 2.
The two points are highlighted in a blue
font.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
2
Thessalonians 2:1 ¶ Now we beseech you, brethren,
by the coming of our Lord
Jesus
Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2
Thessalonians 2: 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.
2
Thessalonians 2: 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;
2
Thessalonians 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
shewing
himself that he is God.
2 Thessalonians 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was
yet with you,
I told you these things?
2 Thessalonians
2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed
in
his time.
2
Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he
who now letteth
will
let, until he be taken out of the way.
2 Thessalonians
2:8 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:
2
Thessalonians 2: 9 Even
him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders,
2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness
in them that perish;
because
they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2 Thessalonians 2: 11 And for this cause God shall send
them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie:
2
Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth,
but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2
Thessalonians 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:
2 Thessalonians 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of
the glory
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast,
and hold the traditions which
ye have been taught, whether by word, or
our epistle.
2
Thessalonians 2:16 ¶ 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,

Thessalonians 2:17 Comfort your
hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
The very first issue is that
many churches claim to be the one True church.
They do not ask themselves where was the
came into existence in the very recent
past.
Where was this True church 100 years ago,
a thousand years ago, two thousand years
ago?
Some of these organisations are Sunday keeping,
others Sabbath keeping,
some are
very small and some are gigantic, like the Roman Catholic church.
It is true that many church organisations and
associated buildings are simply
massive mausoleums, which are just dormitories
for the dead and dying.
There are huge
decaying buildings, many of which are sold to be shops etc.
The remaining building and associated
organisations are on the decline.
For this
reason some feel that they qualify as stated in verse 3 where it
says
there will be a falling away, as many of
their members leave the church
and proceed
church hopping, hoping to find a better church.
Up to now I have not heard a single person
say that their church is in decline,
and vanishing because of rebellion.
Recently I have seen two churches completely
vanish into nothingness. The
membership tends to be in denial of the reality.
It is very similar to someone who has been
told that he has a terminal disease.
Many bury their heads in the sand, hoping,
even praying, that somehow one day
all will be miraculously resolved.
This is unrealistic and experience shows
that it does not happen.
Let us look at this particular claim about
there being a falling away from a church,
before Christ's return.
The classic basis of bible study is considering
the context.
What is the context of chapter 2 in 2 Thessalonians?
There are 17 verses in chapter 2, therefore
this section of 12 verses is approximately
70 percent of the chapter, in
other words a significant proportion.
Point
1. - The Time Reference Is Established.
Verse 1
establishes the period of time which is being addressed,
1. the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him,
Verse 2 speaks
about the day of Christ.
2 that the day of Christ is at hand.
Verse 3 speaks
about that day.
3 that day shall not come,
Point 2 . - The
Subject Addressed- Truth Versus Deception And Lies.
Verse 3 is
not only a command in its own right, but also a summary of verse 2.
3 ¶ Let no man deceive you by any means:
Verse 5 is a further warning to be careful
5. Remember ye not
Verse 9 tells us what to expect, how the deception will
work.
9 Even him, with all
power and signs and lying
wonders,
Verse 10 speaks about
deceivableness and not the love of the truth.
10 And with all
deceivableness... they received not the love of the truth...,
Verse 11 speaks
about strong delusion and a lie.
11 strong delusion, that they should believe
a lie:
Verse
12 speaks about not believing the truth.
12 believed
not the truth,
Verse 13 speaks
about belief of the truth.
13 belief of the truth
Verse 15 encourages
us to hold fast to what has been taught
15 hold the traditions which
ye have been taught
It is very clear from these verses that the subject is certainly
not falling away from any
church whatsoever, but rather a falling away from
'truth'.
The verses do not need to be
manipulated in any way in order to see that this
is the basic topic in this
chapter.
Sadly
this is happening throughout the whole of Christendom. The items of
truth,
which have been the base of
some churches are all rapidly being eliminated.
The genuine translation of the bible is being
replaced by corrupt translations.
The Greek, which is often quoted, comes from
the Lesser Greek manuscripts,
which are also corrupt, replete with pagan
meanings.
See: The
Bible Is Used To Deceive
It is for this reason that we state on our main
page that we are trying to remove all references
to Strong's concordance.
Strong did not believe in the inspiration of the bible.
When
we are confronted by 'Truth', we will change, without excuse or
apology.
In Christendom, Grace has been replaced by
license to do whatever each
individual desires. If you
perceive Grace as being Christ,
you will see that most
churches are in deep trouble.
Regarding falling away, it is important to note
that according to Daniel,
it is some of those who had understanding who
were going to fall away
Daniel 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them,
and to purge,
and to make
them white, even to the time of the end:
because it
is yet for a time appointed.
There are
many documents on the website which
expose the sad state
of the Christian church today.
Point
2. -The second point, a man of sin in a particular church.
2
Thessalonians 2: 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;
Verse 3 that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition
Verse 4 he as God sitteth in
the
Some can feel that as there is chaos in the church,
there is a man of sin,
in their true church, and it is only a
matter of time before he is revealed.
The reality is
that in most churches today there are many men of sin,
who
are diligently working behind the scenes to destroy any sign of Christ
and His commandments.
The
lay membership is quite unable to identify these people.
Nonetheless their sufferings continues
unabated, as they wait for some deliverance,
some miracle to change things around. Some
have waited for dozens of years.
The reality is that the situation did not
become better, in fact it deteriorated greatly.
There Are
Three Groups Working To Take Over The Churches.
I am aware of three groups who are working
simultaneously to take over any church
which claims to be Christian. Of course
there are groups, like the Roman Catholic Church,
Jehovah
Witnesses, Mormons, Scientologists, and the Moonies, which are not
Christian
to begin with. I
know most will find this hard to believe,
but it is true. These
groups are not in order of importance.
Group no 1 -
Witches
Witches are moving into, and taking over,
the churches.
It is all very subtle, but very real. They
appear to be pillars of the church.
See: Bill Schnoebelen's
website.
We are not saying that we support his
doctrinal position.
We are saying that if you want to see how
witchcraft is operating in your church
then it is worth listening to some of his
material. He was a Wiccan high priest.
He became a witch originally
in 1968. He became a Wiccan high priest in the Alexandrian rite
in
from 1973 to 1984, when he was gloriously
saved. He taught classes in all subjects related
to coven life for more than
a decade and initiated more than 175 people into the craft.
Quoted from his
website.
I can also tell you that he was a freemason in
a rank you probably are not aware
even exists, either 80 or 90 something. He
was a vampire, who lived on nothing but blood
and the Roman Catholic
communion host for a long time.
He was inducted into being a Mormon, and
he was also a Roman Catholic priest.
Group
2 The Roman Catholic Church and its Jesuits.
As we have stated many times, the Jesuits
claim to have taken over all the established churches
since they gave the worldwide
signal at the inauguration of President Regan in 1981.
See: 'The enemy Unmasked' by Bill
Hughes, page 150.
Alternatively, check out former Jesuit
priest Alberto Rivera's work.
Jack Chick, The Godfathers, Alberto Part
Three, Chick publications, page 26.
Yes, the
reality is that your beloved '

to
The elite
in these organisations are Jesuits, or are under their direct
control.
Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest,
where the
whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
From this
verse we can see that every corner of the world is affected
by the
great whore, whose headquarters is on seven mountains.
Revelation 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great
city,
which reigneth
over the kings of the earth.
Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven
heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Most agree
that
One problem
is that we refuse to accept that what the bible says is precisely true.
It clearly
states that the woman reigns over the kings of the earth.
All three verses are in the present tense.
It is
similar to the verse which says the whole world is deceived.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent,
called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the
whole world:
he was cast
out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
We think
the whole world except me and my church.
The truth
is that chances are you are already under the yoke of strong delusion.
If we
choose to humble ourselves then the Eternal God will guide us into
all Truth
and away from strong delusion. Pride and arrogance absolutely prevent this.
Search our website and look for Alberto
Rivera, you will get a little more detail.
Read our article: Funeral Of
The Pope.
At this funeral you would have seen heads
of possibly every nation and religion.
They were all bowing down before their
deceased boss.
You
bow down to your superiors.
It did not matter if you were Royalty,
Hindu, Anglican archbishop, etc.
Group 3 The
Freemasons
The founders of the Evangelical Alliance.
The founders of the Mormons.
The founders of the Jehovah Witnesses.
The Worldwide Church of God, all h
ave very strong Freemason links,
at present a strong Jesuit
influence is making itself felt.
Their leadership might complain that they
do not know what I am speaking about
as they are undergoing a name change, and
W.C.G. does not exist.
It is easy to see that a three-pronged
attack on any church, which has not the
slightest clue that this is happening is
in grave danger of being utterly destroyed.
Point 2
continued,
Back to the man of sin in verse 3 - 4.
We are told that he sits in the
3
that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition;
4 Who opposeth
and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or that
is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
As much as we would like to
believe that our '
it is not the case at
all. There is no group, anywhere on the earth, that can claim
to be, 'The
Temple of God'. As we have just shown, almost every church is doing its
own
thing. Let us be fair, no church claims to be a false church.
Even the
I know that some will feel because I said 'almost every church', that
that leaves
the door
open for their group. That is not the intention at all.
The reason
is that it is possible that in some far-flung corner of the earth there
is a small
genuine church, and I have to allow for that, but I certainly do not know
of any such
group. Individual genuine believers are indeed
temples of God.
1
Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye
not that your body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost
which is in
you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1
Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the
and that
the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
However,
the temple is still being built, note the word groweth
below.
It is going through the process of being built.
Ephesians 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth
unto an
holy temple in the Lord:
This temple
is none other than the warrior Bride of Christ.
See: The
Woman The Man Child The Remnant
Since the
destruction of the temple in
It is a
primary goal of many groups, including churches, to build a temple
in Jerusalem. Because this building will be
called the
of
church buildings, or groups, all over the
world with the name God as part of their title.
Due to rebellion God has not only left the building, but
also these groups.
Of course, this presumes that He was there in the first place.
However
there is some encouragement.
We stated a
little while ago that we are individual temples of God.
Therefore
the group can go down the drain, but it does not follow that
the
individual has to suffer the same fate.
It is easy
for people to blatantly ignore facts.
The band
was playing, and people were partying when the Titanic sank.
We were
told to put a sentence on our Rhema, which we have done.
“ YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!! Come Drink Of The Water of Life.”
The
general response has been 'not my house', please do not upset,
or frighten me with the Truth. I do not
want to know.
Well that
is certainly their right, and freewill choice.
However,
the fact is that if you stay in the house, you will certainly be burnt
to a cinder
with it, whether you are upset or frightened is quite immaterial.
Continuously we quote the following:
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye be
not partakers of her sins,
and that ye
receive not of her plagues.
Very few
are prepared to accept this verse.
It is
telling the people of God, whom the Eternal refers to as my people.
He is
telling His people that they are in the wrong place.
This is
very specific, it is not addressed to just anyone. However, they say NO,
we are not
moving, God put us here, and here is where we are going to stay.
A head of a
family in another country, who is conducting himself
in an
abominable manner, says that I am talking nonsense, and God will protect
him,
he can do
whatever he likes. The reality is that one day there will come a day
of
reckoning, and it might be sooner rather than later, than he, and those
who
refuse to obey
might think. Lip service, appearance, and status with men,
do not fool
God.
Psalm 44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or
stretched
out our
hands to a strange god;
Psalm 44:21 Shall
not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Point 3
Some
churches even promote war with the foolish idea that they can force and hurry
up the
return of Christ. They fail to understand that if they were only to obey,
and quit
their rebellion Christ would return swiftly. As we have said like a stuck
record, it
is because the church is not ready, and without spot and blemish that
Christ has
not returned.
A
requirement. This is completely understandable as our adversary will do
anything
to profane
the city of
It will be
the headquarters of the anti-Christ and the False Prophet.

2 Thessalonians 2:8 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:
2
Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders,
Today we
already have Pastors and others who are performing lying wonders.
I know that
many church believers and bible readers will find it very hard to accept
that it is
possible or them to be deceived, but most are, and they certainly can
be
deceived. People who have been involved in witchcraft, will plainly tell you
that you
can go into
many Pentecostal, and similar churches and see witchcraft,
and demons
operating. They tell us that witches go and speak in tongues,
cursing the
congregation and minister left, right, and centre.

The Elect Be Deceived
How
Deception Works
The
Bible Is Used To Deceive How
Churches Are Deceived
A short
time ago we had 'Prophet Yahweh', calling UFO's at his beck and call.
It was not
done in a corner, it was shown on major U.S, news networks.
In both
sets of cases the name of God and feigned obedience to God was displayed.
Very few
understood what was going on.
The question is that these
signs and wonders and 'all Power', will be there for the
whole world
to see. All power is not going to be demonstrated in some under stairs
cupboard.
How are you going to know what is true and what is false?
You will not have access to
these people, whom you might see on tel-lie-vision.
It will
only be by their life-style which will NOT match up to their words and deeds.
Their words will also
contradict the bible. This contradiction, between what is taught,
and what is
actually in the bible, is already commonplace.
Later it will be outright
blasphemy as takes place in the Catholic church.
Most
denominations are already accepting the Roman Catholics as fellow Christians.
They are already in agreement on the translation of the bible.
They use
the same text for their translations.
See the
excellent books:
Dr G. A.
Riplinger's ‘New Age Bible
Versions’
‘In Awe Of Thy Word’
The Roman
Catholic church clearly states that she fully expects all her offspring
to return to her.
Furthermore she regards anyone who is called Christian,
already to be under her
authority. Few 'Christians know that'.
What is certain is that
more and more Catholic practices are being established
in
non-Catholic churches.
This is a
worldwide phenomenon, which I have seen with my own eyes,
I do not
need anyone to tell me.
It is all
very sad.
We can see arrogance and
pride right now in the Church leaders and rulers
of the
nations. These people do not care in the slightest what anyone says or
thinks.
They do exactly what
they like and few say anything or object.
Many times over the past
years we have said that what happens in the world mirrors,
what happens in the
Christian church.
May 1st 2006
"WASHINGTON -- President Bush
has quietly claimed the authority
to
disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he
has
the
power to set aside any statute passed by Congress
when it
conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution."
That is the
New World Order speaking. They are telling you that they can do
absolutely
anything they desire, and you cannot do a single thing about it.
What about your church, has it done the same thing?
Many churches are like ships
drifting aimlessly, without a captain.
Ezekiel 34:3 Ye eat the
fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed:
but
ye feed not the flock.
Ezekiel 34:4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither
have ye healed that which was
sick, neither have ye bound up that
which was broken, neither have ye brought
again that which was driven away, neither
have ye sought that which was lost;
but with force and with cruelty have ye
ruled them.
Ezekiel 34:5 And they were scattered, because there is
no shepherd: and they became
meat
to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
Ezekiel 34:6 My sheep
wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill:
yea, my
flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek
after
them.
Ezekiel 34:7 ¶
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Ezekiel 34:8 As
I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey,
and my
flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was
no
shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock,
but the
shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
Now the
'New Covenant Churches' will say that that is Old Testament.
Of course it is Old Testament.
The question is this.
Does this explain what the condition of your church is?
Read the whole chapter and then read Jeremiah 23.
If this accurately exposes the true condition of your church, maybe you should
blow the dust off your Old Testament and start reading and digesting it.
Because, just maybe the rest of it is true and where does that
leave you?
Is your church in rebellion?
Do you think that the Eternal
God resides in a church which is in open rebellion?
Do you think that a church in
rebellion can be blessed?
If He does reside in
such a church, OR if it is blessed,
what is the point of obedience?
The Old
Testament has to be dismissed as quickly as possible, because if time is taken
to read,
and accept it, the reader would quickly find himself convicted of rebellion,
wickedness
and iniquity. To say it just refers to ancient
as the very
same symptoms can be seen today.
The leaders
try their obscene schemes as they covet, lie, steal and kill,
and we
go around thinking it does not matter, it does not affect me.
Be assured that there
will come a time when you will be personally affected.
If the Eternal God is
not our wisdom and understanding to grasp what is taking
place, whether we are students of the bible or not, we would not
have a clue.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have
eternal life:
and they
are they which testify of me.
We should
not forget that many preachers and politicians wave around big bibles ,
and so do
their congregations, often these will be corrupt New Age Translations,
foisted on
the Christian community as being more modern and clearer.
Nothing
could be further from the truth. Some
groups such as the Roman Catholics,
the Jehovah
Witnesses, the
I hope that
you are beginning to see that the falling away from the truth,
and the
deception of the churches is racing ahead at full steam.
Now that
you have been given a small insight, what are you going to do?
Are you
going to do as many others tell me?
They are
waiting for God to tell them personally and take them out
of their
predicament, by some miracle.
These same
people admit that God does not speak to them now !
Often
people do not like the messenger, and neither do they like to have to admit
that they
have been utterly misled, and that they have to act in order to correct
their
situation. I do not quite know how these people expect God to speak to them.
Of course
our whole site is based on Rhema, the direct word from God.
However,
whom He uses, when and where He chooses is entirely up to Him.
The Eternal
God spoke to Balaam through the mouth of an ass.
Not only
that, the ass saved his life.
Numbers 22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass,
and she
said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee,
that thou
hast smitten me these three times?
Numbers 22:32 and the angel of the LORD said unto him,
Wherefore
hast thou smitten thine ass
these three
times? behold, I went out to withstand thee,
because thy
way is perverse before me:
Numbers 22:33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three
times:
unless she
had turned from me, surely now also I
had slain thee, and saved her alive.
It is quite
normal for people to tell me that God has to find another way.
Does He
really?
My advice
is that all those in rebellion, regardless of their status, whether high
or low, had
better hasten to humble themselves and repent and obey.
It is bad
enough when someone deceives himself.
When
someone deceives and misleads many others, we can be certain that
there will
be a very high price to pay and inevitable judgment.
I received
this statement today, from a Website List:
[abidemir]
Criminals In Government, Part I
It is very
pertinent.
Evil is
arrogant.
It has no
conscience.
It is
utterly self-serving.
It hides
from the light and will attack, even destroy others to preserve
its own
demented delusions.
It is an
unrestrained sociopath, wallowing in the murky darkness of its own psychosis
while
endlessly rationalizing its terrible deeds.
It infiltrates the weak-minded and subverts
the weak of character.
Be Humble Repent Listen To The Eternal God Obey Him.
This is very easy to say, but I assure you that it is
physically impossible without
the
empowerment of the Eternal God.
Just going
up to some altar call, running to some church, or isolating yourself
in the hope
that somehow it will all go away, will not do it.
What are you going to do about it before it is too
late?
