不法的人必要显露

弟兄们,关于我们主耶稣基督的再来,和我们到他那里聚集的事,我们求你们: 无论有灵、有话、有冒我们的名的书信,说主的日子现在到了,你们都不要轻易动心,也不要惊慌。 不要让人用任何方法迷惑了你们,因为主的日子来到以前,必定有背道的事,并且那不法的人,就是那沉沦之子,必定显露出来。 他抵挡 神,抬举自己,高过一切称为神或受人敬拜的,甚至坐在 神的殿中,自称为 神。 我还在你们那里的时候,曾经把这些事告诉你们,你们不记得吗? 现在你们也知道,那箝制他,使他到了时候才可以显露出来的是甚么。 因为那不法的潜力已经发动,只是现在有一个箝制他的在那里,直等到那箝制解除了, 那时,这不法的人必要显露出来。主耶稣要用自己口中的气除掉他,以自己再来所显现的光辉消灭他。 这不法的人来到,是照着撒但的行动,行各样的异能奇迹和荒诞的事, 10 并且在那些沉沦的人身上,行各样不义的欺诈,因为他们不领受爱真理的心,使他们得救。 11 因此, 神就使错谬的思想运行在他们当中,让他们相信虚谎, 12 叫所有不信真理倒喜爱不义的人,都被定罪。

站立得稳持守信仰

13 主所爱的弟兄们,我们应该常常为你们感谢 神,因为他从起初就拣选了你们,借着圣灵成圣的工作,和你们对真道的信心,使你们可以得救。 14 因此, 神借着我们所传的福音呼召你们,使你们得着我们主耶稣基督的荣耀。 15 所以弟兄们,你们要站立得稳;你们所领受的教训,无论是我们口传的,或是信上写的,都要持守。 16 愿我们的主耶稣基督自己,和那爱我们、开恩把永远的安慰和美好的盼望赐给我们的父 神, 17 安慰你们的心,并且在一切善行善言上,坚定你们。

The Wicked One

(A)Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to be with him: I beg you, my friends, 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 appears, who is destined to hell. (B)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. (C)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. (D)The Wicked One will come with the power of Satan and perform all kinds of false miracles and wonders, 10 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. 11 And so God sends the power of error to work in them so that they believe what is false. 12 The result is that all who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in sin, will be condemned.

You Are Chosen for Salvation

13 We must thank God at all times for you, friends, you whom the Lord loves. For God chose you as the first[a] to be saved by the Spirit's power to make you his holy people and by your faith in the truth. 14 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. 15 So then, our friends, stand firm and hold on to those truths which we taught you, both in our preaching and in our letter.

16 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, 17 encourage you and strengthen you to always do and say what is good.
