2nd Thessalonians 2 and the Election Aftermath
Fools and Delusion
Mat 24:1-2 KJV And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. (2) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mat 24:3-14 KJV And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (6) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (7) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (8) All these are the beginning of sorrows. (9) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. (10) And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. (11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

We are not studying the rapture in a direct kind of way today but this is the type of religious get together that the word clearly implies here. Something upon a grand scale. Some folks even in this day and age are finding ways to put historical limitations on the words of Jesus. The words of the apostles as well.
Our next word study involves a phrase as well. That would be the words falling away.
2Th 2:3 KJV Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling awayG646 first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Oh wait a minute we are seeing all the above take place in America. We spend a lot of time covering how the same issues that overtook Israel due to lack of extremism are now overtaking America in the realm of spiritual battle. You see when we read a verse like the following:
1Ki 11:1-8 KJV But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; (2) Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. (3) And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. (4) For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. (5) For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. (6) And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. (7) Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. (8) And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

Fools
Psa 14:1-7 KJV To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. (2) The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. (3) They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (4) Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. (5) There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. (6) Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. (7) Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
Psa 53:1 KJV To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

Again we will look at Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the English Language
Only fools would overlook the video of Barak Obama doing what promising Mr. Medvedev from Russia what? He (obama) could be more flexible with Vladimir Putin. Flexible about what? Invading the Ukraine which Obama’s idiotic cabinet refers to as a territorial dispute. Maybe Obama referring to going into Syria to take care of business including the use of chemical weapons or possibly moving their nukes into eastern Europe which apparently Obama has been more than flexible about. Pretty easy to see that this has all been done. Then our brilliant leader what? Gives a speech about how Trump needs to man up to Vladimir Putin. Well Obama is right in 1 sense since he has failed to man up Trump will have to more than any other President since Roosevelt. Also the most laughable moment as of late is that the liberal losers are trying to paint a picture of the mighty Hillary standing up to Vladimir Putin. The hacking was in revenge because of some incident or argument. That is laughable just like the lie she told us about being shot at in the Bosnia conflict. Hillary remember is the one who took a toy button to Russia with that grin on her face and walked right into the trouble everyone is blaming on Donald Trump.
Only a fool would now believe what this administration and the rest of the left wing nuts in America are now drumming up. That the real flexibility was between Trump and Putin. It’s a good thing that most of us hopefully most of us are still smart enough to realize that liberal actors, actresses and musicians are not smart enough to determine who should run this country. To our knowledge here in the ministry there is not so much of a picture of Trump and Putin in the same room together (does not mean there is not one). However we do have an honest video of a not so smart president making these types of remarks to Russian officials. I am not a technical guru just go to you tube and type in Obama hot mic Putin. The real truth and the real lies will be exposed to you when you do this. This way you cannot say that brother Al said this and that.
We are not even making an assumption that these lies are on scale with what the Bible teaches. However the Bible does tell us the following things in no uncertain terms about folks and the world we are seeing now. Just imagine if there were no electoral college in our politics there would be periods of history when New York and California baby killers would have to listen to the other side. How about that?
If we let these lies go just imagine how terrible it will be when God decides to start really getting involved in things.
2Ti 3:1-17 KJV This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; (5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (6) For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, (7) Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (8) Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. (9) But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. (10) But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, (11) Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. (12) Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (13) But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (14) But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; (15) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Jas 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Jas 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Jas 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Jas 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
Jas 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Jas 5:6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
Patience in Suffering
Jas 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Jas 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
Jas 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Jas 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
2Pe 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2Pe 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2Pe 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2Pe 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Fools and Delusion
Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
Mat 24:1-2 KJV And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. (2) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Signs of the End of the Age
Mat 24:3-14 KJV And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (4) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. (5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (6) And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. (7) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (8) All these are the beginning of sorrows. (9) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. (10) And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. (11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. (12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (13) But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Paul's Ministry to the Thessalonians
2Th 2:1-12 KJV Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering togetherG1997 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 G646first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perditionG684; (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. (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 WickedG459 be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightnessG2015 of his coming: (9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wondersG5059, (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 delusionG1753G4106, that they should believe a lie: (12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The passage here in 2nd Thessalonians overlaps our studies of both the rapture and the acharon. The rapture for example referred to here as the gathering together unto our Lord and Savior Jesus. The acharon especially our looks into Psalm 78 come to mind when looking at the word and what it says here in Thessalonians about traditions. We have several word studies so we will get right to it.
We have a number of words we will look closely at in this passage. The word studies are key to any journey however we do not want to subtract from the overall revelation the passage provides. It provides us with a basic understanding of things we are seeing right now in the world. Perhaps even more problematic what we are seeing in America.
It would be foolish to pretend that folks who are conservative minded Christian types are not happy with the overall picture here. However we recently posted a study titled Prepare for the Onslaught. At this point the entire liberal society in America thought Hillary Clinton was going to be elected or maybe just wanted it that way. Actually it’s quite clear the latter is the truth. However seeing the sore loser attitude manifest itself to the point of an elderly man beaten by some anarchist liberals not a third his age on video should be eye opening material. So now more than ever we should be preparing for the attacks that are coming upon believers in prophecy.

Just imagine us here in America seeing things start to take place like say yoga on every street corner. Or possibly churches or what once were are disappearing and mosques are going up. This is a doorway or invitation into false religion if you are a stand fast believer in Jesus’ teachings. It’s a given many are calling me too extreme however no Hindu guru or Islamic imam or new age guru or martial arts indoctrinated Buddhist anyone or anything else took a beating or some nails for me like Jesus. AMEN!!
Oh wait a minute we are seeing all the above take place in America. We spend a lot of time covering how the same issues that overtook Israel due to lack of extremism are now overtaking America in the realm of spiritual battle. You see when we read a verse like the following:
1Ki 11:1-8 KJV But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; (2) Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. (3) And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. (4) For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. (5) For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. (6) And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. (7) Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. (8) And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
We are reading about a society with a vast amount of different religions on every street corner. Sort of like we see going on here in America today. Please believe me as someone who has served my country these folks are free to do whatever they please in worship. Please believe me also it’s my right to say exactly what I’m saying about my Lord my Savior and my King Jesus Christ. Also He is inarguably The living Son of the living God the Father. AMEN!!
You see there are a lot of places in this world now that many would love to do nothing less than behead you for feeling this way about Jesus. It’s a given not all those visiting the page here will feel the same way about the Lord. However the 1 dividing line we can always count on in such matters is the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He tells us this way ahead of time.
Mat 5:11-12 KJV Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (12) Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Mat 10:18 KJV And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
Mat 10:34-42 KJV Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. (35) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. (36) And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. (37) He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. (38) And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. (39) He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. (40) He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. (41) He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. (42) And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Has America become more and more lawless as of late with regards to this word study. The very first set of studies we did was based on illegal immigration and the Bible. The simple message being God allowed the alien and the stranger among the Jewish people. That is as long as there was accountability in spiritual and lawful behavior. If there was no assimilation to the Hebrew God then the stranger was welcome to leave.
The following is a biblical definition of a sanctuary city.

Asylum
ASY'LUM, n. [L. from Gr. safe from spoil, and spoil, to plunder.]
1. A sanctuary, or place of refuge, where criminals and debtors shelter themselves from justice, and from which they cannot be taken without sacrilege. Temples and altars were anciently asylums; as were tombs, statues and monuments. The ancient heathens allowed asylums for the protection of the vilest criminals; and the Jews had their cities of refuge.
2. Any place of retreat and security.
This does not imply that there was no punishment served. This just allowed God’s chosen priests to administer care and treatment according to the law. This does not mean every person who wants to just let’s say pick up a gun and shoot someone beloved to us as an American citizen should be free to run around until justice is served. If ever it is to some individuals. You see God already knew what needed to be done from the beginning. Why would any so called leader of any so called sanctuary cities want this lawlessness running through their streets? It would be nice to see someone get a chance to ask why any leader who supports lawlessness against Americans should be holding office. There is nothing wrong with ministers facing this head on.

Psa 14:1-7 KJV To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. (2) The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. (3) They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (4) Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. (5) There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. (6) Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. (7) Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
Psa 53:1 KJV To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
Pro 10:8 KJV The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.
Again we will look at Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the English Language
Prate
PRATE, v.i. To talk much and without weight, or to little purpose; to be loquacious; as the vulgar express it, to run on.
To prate and talk for life and honor,
And make a fool presume to prate of love.
PRATE, v.t. To utter foolishly.
What nonsense would the fool, thy master, prate,
When thou, his knave, canst talk at such a rate?
PRATE, n. Continued talk to little purpose; trifling talk; unmeaning loquacity.

Only fools would overlook the video of Barak Obama doing what promising Mr. Medvedev from Russia what? He (obama) could be more flexible with Vladimir Putin. Flexible about what? Invading the Ukraine which Obama’s idiotic cabinet refers to as a territorial dispute. Maybe Obama referring to going into Syria to take care of business including the use of chemical weapons or possibly moving their nukes into eastern Europe which apparently Obama has been more than flexible about. Pretty easy to see that this has all been done. Then our brilliant leader what? Gives a speech about how Trump needs to man up to Vladimir Putin. Well Obama is right in 1 sense since he has failed to man up Trump will have to more than any other President since Roosevelt. Also the most laughable moment as of late is that the liberal losers are trying to paint a picture of the mighty Hillary standing up to Vladimir Putin. The hacking was in revenge because of some incident or argument. That is laughable just like the lie she told us about being shot at in the Bosnia conflict. Hillary remember is the one who took a toy button to Russia with that grin on her face and walked right into the trouble everyone is blaming on Donald Trump.
Only a fool would now believe what this administration and the rest of the left wing nuts in America are now drumming up. That the real flexibility was between Trump and Putin. It’s a good thing that most of us hopefully most of us are still smart enough to realize that liberal actors, actresses and musicians are not smart enough to determine who should run this country. To our knowledge here in the ministry there is not so much of a picture of Trump and Putin in the same room together (does not mean there is not one). However we do have an honest video of a not so smart president making these types of remarks to Russian officials. I am not a technical guru just go to you tube and type in Obama hot mic Putin. The real truth and the real lies will be exposed to you when you do this. This way you cannot say that brother Al said this and that.
We are not even making an assumption that these lies are on scale with what the Bible teaches. However the Bible does tell us the following things in no uncertain terms about folks and the world we are seeing now. Just imagine if there were no electoral college in our politics there would be periods of history when New York and California baby killers would have to listen to the other side. How about that?
If we let these lies go just imagine how terrible it will be when God decides to start really getting involved in things.
Godlessness in the Last Days

Jas 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

Jas 5:6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Jas 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
The Day of the Lord Will Come
2Pe 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2Pe 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Final Words
2Pe 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2Pe 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
The Supremacy of God's Son
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
Heb 1:11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
Heb 1:12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
Heb 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Mar 16:14-20 KJV Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. (15) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (17) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (19) So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (20) And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Rev 16:15 KJV Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
