2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers,

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Master Yahushua the Messiah, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come.

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 the Messiah is at hand.

3 Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed.

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 He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called elohim, or that is worshipped; so that he as elohim sitteth in the temple of elohim, shewing himself that he is elohim.

5 Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6 And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.

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 the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom Yahushua shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.

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 For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,

And for this cause YHWH shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.

But we are bound to give thanks alway to YHWH for you, brethren beloved of the Master, because YHWH hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

14 To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Master Yahushua the Messiah.

15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope, (aiōnios g166)

Now our Master Yahushua the Messiah himself, and YHWH, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through favour, (aiōnios g166)

17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.

Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
