帖撒羅尼迦後書 第二章
1弟兄們,論到我們主耶穌基督降臨和我們到他那裡聚集,
2我勸你們:無論有靈、有言語、有冒我名的書信,說主的日子現在(或作:就)到了,不要輕易動心,也不要驚慌。
3人不拘用甚麼法子,你們總不要被他誘惑;因為那日子以前,必有離道反教的事,並有那大罪人,就是沉淪之子,顯露出來。
4他是抵擋主,高抬自己,超過一切稱為神的和一切受人敬拜的,甚至坐在神的殿裡,自稱是神。
5我還在你們那裡的時候,曾把這些事告訴你們,你們不記得麼﹖
6現在你們也知道,那攔阻他的是甚麼,是叫他到了的時候纔可以顯露。
7因為那不法的隱意已經發動,只是現在有一個攔阻的,等到那攔阻的被除去,
8那時這不法的人必顯露出來。主耶穌要用口中的氣滅絕他,用降臨的榮光廢掉他。
9這不法的人來,是照撒但的運動,行各樣的異能、神蹟,和一切虛假的奇事,
10並且在那沉淪的人身上行各樣出於不義的詭詐;因他們不領受愛真理的心,使他們得救。
11故此,神就給他們一個生發錯誤的心,叫他們信從虛謊,
12使一切不信真理、倒喜愛不義的人都被定罪。
13主所愛的弟兄們哪,我們本該常為你們感謝神;因為他從起初揀選了你們,叫你們因信真道,又被聖靈感動,成為聖潔,能以得救。
14神藉我們所傳的福音召你們到這地步,好得著我們主耶穌基督的榮光。
15所以,弟兄們,你們要站立得穩,凡所領受的教訓,不拘是我們口傳的,是信上寫的,都要堅守。
16但願我們主耶穌基督和那愛我們、開恩將永遠的安慰並美好的盼望賜給我們的父神,
17安慰你們的心,並且在一切善行善言上堅固你們。

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to be with him: I beg you, my brother,
not to be so easily confused in your thinking or upset by the claim that the Day of the Lord has come. Perhaps it is thought that we said this while prophesying or preaching, or that we wrote it in a letter.
Do not let anyone deceive you in any way. For the Day will not come until the final Rebellion takes place and the Wicked One ('man of sin, son of perdition' in King James version) appears, who is destined to hell.
He will oppose every so-called god or object of worship and will put himself above them all. He will even go in and sit down in God's Temple and claim to be God.
Don't you remember? I told you all this while I was with you.
Yet there is something that keeps this from happening now, and you know what it is. At the proper time, then, the Wicked One will appear.
The Mysterious Wickedness is already at work, but what is going to happen will not happen until the one who holds it back is taken out of the way.
Then the Wicked One will be revealed, but when the Lord Jesus comes, he will kill him with the breath from his mouth and destroy him with his dazzling presence.
The Wicked One will come with the power of Satan and perform all kinds of false miracles and wonders,
and use every kind of wicked deceit on those who will perish. They will perish because they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved.
And so God sends the power of error to work in them so that they believe what is false.
The result is that all who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in sin, will be condemned.
We must thank God at all times for you, brothers, you whom the Lord loves. For God chose you as the first to be saved by the Spirit's power to make you his holy people and by your faith in the truth.
God called you to this through the Good News we preached to you; he called you to possess your share of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
So then, our brothers, stand firm and hold on to those truths which we taught you, both in our preaching and in our letter.
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and in his grace gave us unfailing courage and a firm hope,
encouraging you and strengthen you to always do and say what is good.
2 Thessalonians - King James version
Chapter: 2
2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 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. 2:3 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; 2:4 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. 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 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. 2:8 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: 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 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. 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 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: 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 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, 2:17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. Verse 1 is talking about the gathering of all human beings.
Verse 2 says that do not believe the claim on the Day Jesus Christ has come or to come. This is because Jesus Christ is our Spiritual Soul. It is already with us on the 7th day of conceivement in our mother's womb.
Verse 3 has missing words 'that is Sen Lun's son'. I do not know what 'Sen Lun' stands for in English. Chinese version has no 'who is destined to hell'. In King James version it is 'son of perdition'.
Verse 4 is not grammatically correct if God's Temple is no more. It is correct if you take our face as Israel and the mark on our forehead as God's Temple. This is because we are all gods.
Verse 6 has no 'Wicked One' in Chinese version.
Verse 7 could be referring to my uncle/father. He died on 6th January 2003. So my path is now open in front for me.
Verse 8. Ask yourself first what form Jesus Christ comes ? In old physical form? In new form with new name? Or the Spiritual Soul at the mark on our forehead? God breathed his spirit into the clay and the latter becomes alive as human. So Jesus's breath into me and the dazzling presence will transform me into something like an immortal, Christian term is Melchizedek. Chinese version looks different. The verse does not tally with verse 10. Here one wicked person. Verse 10 has many wicked persons.
不法的人 is not 大罪人,就是沉淪之子
Therefore, the English Bible is wrong in translating the verses. In verse 10, these sinful people use all kind of deceit on the 'Wicked One', because they reject the 'Truth' preached by the 'Wicked One' so that they can be saved.
Verse 9 is to mislead people because people has gone crazy with their sinfulness. How can they know what is right or wrong? American laws allow gays to be husband and wife, allow lesbians to be husband and wife. If God does not punish Americans for these and other sins, you can shoot me dead.
Verse 10 explains the reason. I use all manner of words on America because it is the main source of pornography, promotion of sodomy, lesbianism, unnatural sex, adultery etc. Yet the Americans still think they are correct in doing it. I tell the truth but no one wants to listen. Therefore those disbelievers and rejecters of my words on the truth will suffer or die. Chinese version is quite different. It has words, 'many wicked people performing wickedness on the body of the Wicked One etc etc.'
Verse 11 and 12 confirm what I said earlier on verse 9.
Verse 13 refers to the laying of hands on the foreheads. This was the first sealing then in those days. This sealing was lost later. The churches now cannot perform this sealing.
9th January 2008 - Try to place Luke chapter 17 regarding someone doing the job like Noah. And Matthew chapter 24 verse 15, Mark chapter 13 verse 14, these are telling about the same thing. When the messenger of God preaches the TRUTH but rejected by all, all will brand him wicked.
