King David Foretells The Death Of The Messiah

Psalms 22:1-31

My God (God Almighty), My God (God Almighty), why have YOU (God Almighty) Forsaken Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ)?  Why are YOU (God Almighty) so far from helping Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ), and from The Words of My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Groaning?  O My God (God Almighty), I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Cry in the daytime, but YOU (God Almighty) do NOT hear; and in the night season, and am NOT silent.  But YOU (God Almighty) are Holy, Enthroned in The Praises of Israel.  Our fathers Trusted in YOU (God Almighty); they Trusted, and YOU (God Almighty) Delivered them.  They Cried to YOU (God Almighty), and were Delivered; they Trusted in YOU (God Almighty), and were NOT ashamed.

But I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and Despised by The People (Unbelievers).  All those (Unbelievers) who see Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Ridicule Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); they (Unbelievers) shoot out the lip, they (Unbelievers) shake the head, saying, “He (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Trusted in The LORD (God Almighty), let Him (God Almighty) Rescue Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); let Him (God Almighty) Deliver Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ), since He (God Almighty) Delights in Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ)!”

But YOU (God Almighty) are He (God Almighty) who took Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) out of The Womb; YOU (God Almighty) Made Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Trust, while on My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Mother’s Breasts.  I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) was Cast Upon YOU (God Almighty) from Birth.  From My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Mother’s Womb, YOU (God Almighty) have been My God (God Almighty).  Be NOT far from Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ), for Trouble is near; for there is NONE to Help.  Many bulls (Unbelievers) have Surrounded Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); strong bulls (Unbelievers) of Bashan have Encircled Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  They (Unbelievers) gape at Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) with their (Unbelievers) mouths, like a raging and roaring lion.

I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) am Poured Out like Water, and All My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Bones are out of joint; My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Heart is like wax; It (My Heart) has Melted within Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Tongue clings to My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Jaws; YOU (God Almighty) have Brought Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) to the dust of death.  For dogs (Unbelievers) have Surrounded Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); the congregation of the wicked (Unbelievers) has Enclosed Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  They (Unbelievers) Pierced My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Hands and My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Feet; I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) can count All My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Bones.  They (Unbelievers) look and stare at Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  They (Unbelievers) divide My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Garments among them (Unbelievers), and for My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Clothing they (Unbelievers) cast lots.  But YOU (God Almighty), O LORD (God Almighty), do NOT be far from Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); O My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Strength, hasten to help Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ)!  Deliver Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) from the sword, My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Precious Life, from the power of the dog.  Save Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) from the lion’s mouth and from the horns of the wild oxen!

YOU (God Almighty) have answered Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) will Declare Your (God Almighty’s) Name to My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Brethren (Believers); in The Midst of The Assembly, I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) will Praise YOU (God Almighty).  YOU (Believers) who fear The LORD (God Almighty), Praise Him (God Almighty)!  All YOU (Believers) Descendants of Jacob, Glorify Him (God Almighty), and fear Him (God Almighty), All YOU (Believers) Offspring of Israel!  For He (God Almighty) has NOT despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; nor has He (God Almighty) Hidden His (God Almighty’s) Face from Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); but when He (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Cried to Him (God Almighty), He (God Almighty) Heard.  My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Praise shall be of YOU (God Almighty) in The Great Assembly; I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Will Pay My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Vows, before those (Believers) who fear Him (God Almighty). 

The Poor (Believers) shall Eat and be Satisfied; Those (Believers) who seek Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) will Praise The LORD (God Almighty).  Let Your Heart (Believers) Live Forever!  All The Ends of the World, Shall Remember and Turn To The LORD (God Almighty), and All The Families of The Nations, Shall Worship Before YOU (God Almighty).  For The Kingdom IS The LORD’s (God Almighty’s) and He (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Rules Over The Nations.  All The Prosperous (Believers) of the Earth, Shall Eat and Worship; All (Mankind) those who go down to the dust, Shall Bow Before Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ), even he (Unbelievers) who cannot keep himself (Unbelievers) alive.  A Posterity (Believers) Shall Serve Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  It will be Recounted of The LORD (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) to The Next Generation, They (Believers) will Come and Declare His (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Righteousness to a People (Believers), Who WILL BE BORN, that He (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) has Done This.

Fellow Believers, do These Words sound familiar: “My God, My God, why have YOU Forsaken Me?”  “They Pierced My Hands and My Feet.”  “They divide My Garments among them, and for My Clothing they cast lots.”  Yes, I’m sure those words sound very familiar, especially for anyone who has read The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  King David was Blessed by God Almighty, to know These Things, before King David’s death and way before Jesus Christ’s Birth and subsequent Death.  King David’s descriptions are quite accurate.  Did YOU (Believers) notice, King David even talks about Us (Believers)?  This is just a taste of “The Foretelling of The Messiah”, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Jesus Christ Dies On The Cross

Matthew 27:45-56

Now from The Sixth Hour until The Ninth Hour, there was Darkness over All The Land.  And about The Ninth Hour, Jesus (Jesus Christ) Cried Out with a Loud Voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God (God Almighty), My God, why have YOU Forsaken Me?”  Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is Calling for Elijah!”  Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him (Jesus Christ) to drink.  The rest said, “Let Him (Jesus Christ) alone; let us see if Elijah will come to Save Him (Jesus Christ).”  And Jesus (Jesus Christ) Cried Out again with a Loud Voice, and Yielded Up His (Jesus Christ’s) Spirit.  Then, behold, The Veil of The Temple was Torn in Two, from Top to Bottom; and the Earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and The Graves were Opened; and Many Bodies of The Saints (Believers), who had Fallen Asleep were Raised; and Coming Out of The Graves, after His (Jesus Christ’s) Resurrection, They (The Resurrected Saints/Believers) went into The Holy City and Appeared to MANY.  So when The Centurion AND those with him (The Centurion), who were Guarding Jesus (Jesus Christ), saw the Earthquake and The Things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was The Son of God (God Almighty)!”  And many women who followed Jesus (Jesus Christ) from Galilee, Ministering to Him (Jesus Christ), were there looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary, The Mother of James and Joses, and The Mother of Zebedee’s Sons.

Mark 15:33-41

 

Now when The Sixth Hour had come, there was Darkness over The Whole Land until The Ninth Hour.  And at The Ninth Hour Jesus (Jesus Christ) Cried Out with a Loud Voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God (God Almighty), My God, why have YOU Forsaken Me?”  Some of those who stood by, when they heard that, said, “Look, He (Jesus Christ) is Calling for Elijah!”  Then someone ran and filled a sponge full of sour wine, put it on a reed, and offered it to Him (Jesus Christ) to drink, saying, “Let Him (Jesus Christ) alone; let us see if Elijah will come to take Him (Jesus Christ) Down.”  And Jesus (Jesus Christ) Cried Out with a Loud Voice, and Breathed His (Jesus Christ’s) Last.  Then The Veil of The Temple was Torn in Two, from Top to Bottom.  So when The Centurion, who stood opposite Him (Jesus Christ), saw that He (Jesus Christ) Cried Out like this and Breathed His (Jesus Christ’s) Last, he (The Centurion) said, “Truly this Man (Jesus Christ) was The Son of God (God Almighty)!”  There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary, The Mother of James, The Less, and of Joses, and Salome, who also followed Him (Jesus Christ) and Ministered to Him (Jesus Christ) when He (Jesus Christ) was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him (Jesus Christ) to Jerusalem.

 Luke 23:44-49

 

Now it was about The Sixth Hour, and there was Darkness over All the Earth, until The Ninth Hour.  Then the Sun was Darkened, and The Veil of The Temple was Torn in Two. And when Jesus (Jesus Christ) had Cried Out with a Loud Voice, He (Jesus Christ) said, “Father (God Almighty), ‘into Your (God Almighty’s) Hands, I (Jesus Christ) Commit My (Jesus Christ’s) Spirit.’”  Having said this, He (Jesus Christ) Breathed His (Jesus Christ’s) Last.  So when The Centurion saw what had happened, He (The Centurion) Glorified God (God Almighty), saying, “Certainly this was a Righteous Man (Jesus Christ)!”  And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.  But All His (Jesus Christ’s) Acquaintances, and the women who followed Him (Jesus Christ) from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching These Things.

John 19:28-37

After this, Jesus (Jesus Christ), KNOWING that All Things were now Accomplished, that The Scripture might be Fulfilled, said, “I (Jesus Christ) thirst!”  Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His (Jesus Christ’s) Mouth.  So when Jesus (Jesus Christ) had received the sour wine, He (Jesus Christ) said, “It is FINISHED!”  And Bowing His (Jesus Christ’s) Head, He (Jesus Christ) Gave Up His (Jesus Christ’s) Spirit.  Therefore, because it was The Preparation Day, that the bodies should NOT remain on The Cross on The Sabbath (for That Sabbath was a High Day), The Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.  Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was Crucified with Him (Jesus Christ).  But when they came to Jesus (Jesus Christ) and saw that He (Jesus Christ) was already dead, they did NOT break His (Jesus Christ’s) Legs.  But one of the soldiers Pierced His (Jesus Christ’s) Side with a spear, and immediately Blood and Water came out.  And He (John) who has seen has Testified, and His (John’s) Testimony is True; and He (John) KNOWS that He (John) is Telling The Truth, so that YOU (Believers) may BELIEVE.  For These Things were done that The Scripture should be Fulfilled, “NOT One of His (Jesus Christ’s) Bones shall be broken.”  And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him (Jesus Christ) whom they pierced.”

Fellow Believers, a few notes, first of all, did YOU (Believers) know, that “The Veil” was 60 feet in length and 4 inches thick, so for it to be torn in two, from top to bottom, was an amazing feat of its own.  Secondly, there was an Earthquake, strong enough to split rocks.  Thirdly, did YOU (Believers) notice The Resurrection of The Saints (Believers), at the time of Jesus’ Death, and after His (Jesus Christ’s) Resurrection, They (The Resurrected Saints/Believers) went into The Holy City and Appeared to MANY?  Finally, even an UNBELIEVER, The Roman Centurion, came to Believe, that Jesus Christ IS The Son of God Almighty!  So, even before Jesus Christ’s Resurrection, upon His (Jesus Christ’s) Death, at least one person (The Roman Centurion) Believed Jesus Christ IS The Son of God Almighty!  These occurrences are sometimes overlooked, when We (Believers) think about Jesus Christ’s Crucifixion and His (Jesus Christ’s) Resurrection, because We (Believers) concentrate on Him (Jesus Christ) being Raised from The Tomb (The Grave), Alive.  I guess, it just goes to show Us (Believers), that We (Believers) can always learn more, when We (Believers) pay more attention to The Details.  Amen.

Raised In Victory

1 Corinthians 15:1-11

Moreover, Brethren (Believers), I (Paul) declare to YOU (Believers) The Gospel, which I (Paul) Preached to YOU (Believers), which also YOU (Believers) Received and in which YOU (Believers) Stand, by which also YOU (Believers) are SAVED, if YOU (Believers) hold fast That Word, which I (Paul) Preached to YOU (Believers), unless YOU (Believers) Believed in vain.  For I (Paul) Delivered to YOU (Believers), first of all, that which I (Paul) also Received: that Christ (Jesus Christ) died for Our sins According to The Scriptures, and that He (Jesus Christ) was buried, and that He (Jesus Christ) Rose Again, The Third Day, According to The Scriptures, and that He (Jesus Christ) was SEEN by Cephas (Peter), then by The Twelve (Jesus’ Disciples).  After that He (Jesus Christ) was SEEN by over Five Hundred Brethren (Believers) at Once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have Fallen Asleep.  After that He (Jesus Christ) was SEEN by James, then by All The Apostles (Jesus’ Disciples).  Then last of all He (Jesus Christ) was SEEN by me (Paul) also, as by One Born Out of Due Time.  For I (Paul) am The Least of The Apostles (Jesus’ Disciples), who am NOT worthy to be Called an Apostle, because I (Paul) Persecuted The Church of God (God Almighty).  But by The Grace of God (God Almighty) I am what I am, and His (God Almighty’s) Grace toward me (Paul) was NOT in vain; but I (Paul) labored more abundantly than They (Jesus’ Disciples) All, yet NOT I (Paul), but The Grace of God (God Almighty) which was with me (Paul).  Therefore, whether it was I (Paul) or They (Jesus’ Disciples), so We (Jesus’ Disciples) Preach and so YOU (Believers) Believed.

1 Corinthians 15:12-19

Now if Christ (Jesus Christ) is Preached, that He (Jesus Christ) has been Raised from The Dead, how do some among you (Unbelievers) say, that there is NO Resurrection of The Dead?  But if there is NO Resurrection of The Dead, then Christ (Jesus Christ) is NOT Risen.  And if Christ (Jesus Christ) is NOT Risen, then Our (Jesus’ Disciples) Preaching is empty and Your (Believers) Faith is also empty.  Yes, and We (Jesus’ Disciples) are found False Witnesses of God (God Almighty), because We (Jesus’ Disciples) have Testified of God (God Almighty) that He (God Almighty) Raised Up Christ (Jesus Christ), whom He (God Almighty) did NOT Raise Up, IF in fact, The Dead do NOT Rise.  For IF The Dead do NOT Rise, then Christ (Jesus Christ) is NOT Risen.  And IF Christ (Jesus Christ) is NOT Risen, Your (Believers) Faith is futile; YOU (Believers) are still in Your (Believers) sins!  Then also those (Believers) who have Fallen Asleep in Christ (Jesus Christ) have Perished.  IF in this Life ONLY, We (Believers) have Hope in Christ (Jesus Christ), We (Believers) are of All Men, The Most Pitiable.

1 Corinthians 15:20-28

But now Christ (Jesus Christ) IS RISEN from The Dead, and has become The Firstfruits of those (Believers) who have Fallen Asleep.  For since by Man (Adam) came Death, by Man (Jesus Christ) also Came The Resurrection of The Dead.  For as in Adam, ALL Die, even so in Christ (Jesus Christ) All shall be made Alive.  But Each One in His Own Order: Christ (Jesus Christ) The Firstfruits, afterward those (Believers) who are Christ’s at His (Jesus Christ’s) Coming.  Then Comes The End, when He (Jesus Christ) Delivers The Kingdom (The Kingdom of God Almighty) to God (God Almighty), The Father, when He (Jesus Christ) puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.  For He (Jesus Christ) MUST Reign till He (God Almighty) has put All Enemies under His (Jesus Christ’s) Feet.  The Last Enemy that will be Destroyed is Death.  For “He (God Almighty) has put All Things under His (Jesus Christ’s) Feet.”  But when He (God Almighty) says “All Things are put under Him (Jesus Christ),” it is evident that He (God Almighty) who put All Things under Him (Jesus Christ) is excepted.  Now when All Things are made Subject to Him (Jesus Christ), then The Son (Jesus Christ), Himself, will also be Subject to Him (God Almighty), who put All Things under Him (Jesus Christ), that God (God Almighty) may be All, in All.

1 Corinthians 15:29-34

Otherwise, what will They (Believers) do who are Baptized for The Dead, IF The Dead do NOT Rise at all?  Why then are They (Believers) Baptized for The Dead?  And why do We (Jesus’ Disciples) Stand in jeopardy every hour?  I (Paul) Affirm, by The Boasting in YOU (Believers), which I (Paul) have in Christ Jesus Our Lord, I (Paul) die daily.  If, in the manner of men, I (Paul) have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me?  IF The Dead do NOT Rise, “Let Us (Jesus’ Disciples) eat and drink, for tomorrow We (Jesus’ Disciples) die!”  Do NOT be Deceived: “Evil Company Corrupts Good Habits.”  Awake to Righteousness, and do NOT sin; for some do NOT have The Knowledge of God (God Almighty).  I (Paul) Speak this to your (Unbelievers) shame.

1 Corinthians 15:35-49

But someone will say, “How are The Dead Raised Up?  And with what Body do They Come?”  Foolish one, what you sow is NOT made alive, unless it dies.  And what you sow, you do NOT sow that body that shall be, but mere grain, perhaps wheat or some other grain.  But God (God Almighty) Gives it a body as He (God Almighty) Pleases, and to each seed its own body.  All flesh is NOT the same flesh, but there is One Kind of Flesh of Men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.  There are also Celestial Bodies and Terrestrial Bodies; but The Glory of The Celestial is One, and The Glory of The Terrestrial is Another.  There is One Glory of the Sun, Another Glory of the Moon, and Another Glory of the Stars; for one Star differs from another Star in Glory.

So also is The Resurrection of The Dead. The Body is Sown in corruption, it is Raised in Incorruption.  It is Sown in dishonor, it is Raised in Glory.  It is Sown in weakness, it is Raised in Power.  It is Sown a Natural Body, it is Raised a Spiritual Body.  There is a Natural Body, and there is a Spiritual Body.  And so it is Written, “The First Man, Adam, became a Living Being.”  The Last Adam (Jesus Christ) became a Life-Giving Spirit.  However, The Spiritual is NOT First, but The Natural, and afterward The Spiritual.  The First Man (Adam) was of the Earth, made of dust; The Second Man is The Lord (Jesus Christ) from Heaven.  As was the man (Adam) of dust, so also are those (Believers) who are made of dust; and as is The Heavenly Man (Jesus Christ), so also are those (Believers) who are Heavenly.  And as We (Believers) have Borne The Image of the man (Adam) of dust, We (Believers) shall also Bear The Image of The Heavenly Man (Jesus Christ).

1 Corinthians 15:50-58

Now this I (Paul) say, Brethren (Believers), that flesh and blood can NOT Inherit The Kingdom of God (God Almighty); nor does corruption Inherit Incorruption.  Behold, I (Paul) tell YOU (Believers) a MYSTERY: We (Believers) shall NOT All Sleep, but We (Believers) Shall All Be Changed, in a moment, in The Twinkling of an Eye, at The Last Trumpet.  For The Trumpet will Sound, and The Dead Will Be Raised Incorruptible, and We (Believers) Shall Be Changed.  For this corruptible MUST Put On Incorruption, and this mortal MUST Put On Immortality.  So when this corruptible has Put On Incorruption, and this mortal has Put On Immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is Written: “Death is Swallowed Up in Victory.”  “O Death, where is your sting?  O Hades, where is your victory?”  The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is The Law.  But Thanks be to God (God Almighty), who gives Us (Believers) The Victory, through Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore, My Beloved Brethren (Believers), be Steadfast, Immovable, Always Abounding in The Work of The Lord (Jesus Christ), KNOWING that Your (Believers) Labor is NOT in vain, in the Lord (Jesus Christ).

Fellow Believers, Paul hits The Highlights of Our Faith and finishes with what We (Believers) can expect, to be in God Almighty’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, God Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All the rest of The Children (Fellow Believers) of God Almighty, Forever, for Eternity!  Amen.

Thessalonians Epistles Excerpts

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

But I (Paul) do NOT want YOU (Believers) to be ignorant, Brethren, concerning Those who have Fallen Asleep, lest YOU (Believers) sorrow, as others who have NO Hope.  For if We (Believers) BELIEVE that Jesus (Jesus Christ) died and Rose Again, even so God (God Almighty) will BRING WITH HIM (Jesus Christ) those who Sleep in Jesus.  For this We (Jesus’ Disciples) say to YOU (Believers) by The Word of The Lord (Jesus Christ), that We (Believers) who are Alive and Remain Until The Coming of The Lord (Jesus Christ) will by NO Means PRECEDE those who are Asleep.  For The Lord (Jesus Christ) Himself will Descend from Heaven with a Shout, with The Voice of an Archangel, and with The Trumpet of God (God Almighty).  And The Dead in Christ (Jesus Christ) will Rise First.   Then We (Believers) who are Alive and Remain shall be Caught Up Together with Them (The Dead in Christ) in the Clouds to MEET The Lord (Jesus Christ) in the Air.  And thus We (Believers) shall ALWAYS be with The Lord (Jesus Christ).  Therefore Comfort One Another (Fellow Believers) with These Words.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

 

But concerning The Times and The Seasons, Brethren, YOU (Believers) have NO Need that I (Paul) should write to YOU (Believers).  For YOU (Believers) Yourselves KNOW Perfectly that THE DAY OF THE LORD (Jesus Christ) so comes as a Thief in the Night.  For when they (Unbelievers) say, “Peace and Safety!” then Sudden Destruction comes upon them (Unbelievers), as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.  And they (Unbelievers) shall NOT Escape.  But YOU (Believers), Brethren, are NOT in darkness, so that This Day (The Day of The Lord) should overtake YOU (Believers) as a Thief.  YOU (Believers) are All Sons of Light and Sons of The Day.  We (Believers) are NOT of the night, nor of darkness.  Therefore let Us (Believers) NOT sleep, as others do, but let Us (Believers) Watch and Be Sober.  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.  But let Us (Believers) who are of The Day, Be Sober, Putting On The Breastplate of Faith and Love, and as a Helmet, The Hope of Salvation.  For God (God Almighty) did NOT Appoint Us (Believers) to Wrath, but to OBTAIN Salvation, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, who Died for Us (Believers), that whether We (Believers) Wake or Sleep, We (Believers) should Live Together with Him (Jesus Christ).  Therefore Comfort each other (Fellow Believers) and Edify One Another (Fellow Believers), just as YOU (Believers) also are doing.

2 Thessalonians 1:3-12

 

We (Believers) are Bound to Thank God (God Almighty) always for YOU (Believers), Brethren, as it is fitting, because Your (Believers) Faith Grows Exceedingly, and The Love of Every One of YOU (Believers) All Abounds Toward Each Other (Fellow Believers), so that We (Believers) Ourselves Boast of YOU (Believers) among The Churches of God (God Almighty) for Your Patience and Faith, in All Your Persecutions and Tribulations that YOU (Believers) Endure, which is Manifest Evidence of The Righteous Judgment of God (God Almighty), that YOU (Believers) may be Counted Worthy of The Kingdom of God (God Almighty), for which YOU (Believers) also suffer; since it is a Righteous Thing with God (God Almighty) to Repay with Tribulation those (Unbelievers) who Trouble YOU (Believers), and to Give YOU (Believers) who are Troubled, Rest with Us (Believers), when The Lord Jesus (Jesus Christ) is REVEALED from Heaven with His Mighty Angels, in Flaming Fire taking Vengeance on those (Unbelievers) who do NOT know God (God Almighty), and on those (Unbelievers) who do NOT Obey The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  These (Unbelievers) shall be Punished with Everlasting Destruction from The Presence of The Lord (Jesus Christ) and from The Glory of His Power, when He (Jesus Christ) Comes, in That Day, to be Glorified in His (Jesus Christ’s) Saints (Believers) and to be Admired among All Those (Believers) who BELIEVE, because Our (Jesus’ Disciples) Testimony among YOU (Believers) was Believed.  Therefore We (Believers) also pray always for YOU (Believers) that Our God (God Almighty) would Count YOU (Believers) Worthy of This Calling, and Fulfill All The Good Pleasure of His (God Almighty’s) Goodness and The Work of Faith with Power, that The Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ may be Glorified in YOU (Believers), and YOU (Believers) in Him (Jesus Christ), According to The Grace of Our God (God Almighty) and The Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

 

Now, Brethren (Believers), concerning The Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ and Our (Believers) Gathering Together to Him (Jesus Christ), We (Believers) ask YOU (Believers), NOT to be Soon Shaken in Mind or Troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from Us (Jesus’ Disciples), as though THE DAY OF CHRIST (Jesus Christ) had Come.  Let NO One Deceive YOU (Believers), by ANY Means; for That Day (The Day of Christ) will NOT Come, unless The Falling Away Comes First, and the man of sin is Revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself, above all, that is Called God or that is Worshiped, so that he sits as God in The Temple of God (God Almighty), showing himself that he is God.  Do YOU not remember that when I (Paul) was still with YOU (Believers) I (Paul) told YOU (Believers) These Things?  And now YOU (Believers) know what is Restraining, that he may be Revealed in his own time.  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; ONLY He (The Holy Spirit) who now Restrains, will do so until He (The Holy Spirit) is Taken Out of The Way.  And then the lawless one will be Revealed, whom The Lord (Jesus Christ) will Consume with The Breath of His (Jesus Christ’s) Mouth and Destroy with The Brightness of His (Jesus Christ’s) Coming.  The coming of the lawless one is according to The Working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those (Unbelievers) who Perish, because they (Unbelievers) did NOT receive The Love of The Truth (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), that they (Unbelievers) might be SAVED.  And for This Reason, God (God Almighty) will Send them (Unbelievers) Strong DELUSION, that they (Unbelievers) should believe the lie, that they (Unbelievers) All may be Condemned, who did NOT believe The Truth (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

 

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

 

But We (Jesus’ Disciples) are bound to Give Thanks to God (God Almighty) always for YOU (Believers), Brethren, Beloved by The Lord (Jesus Christ), because God (God Almighty) from The Beginning, Chose YOU (Believers) for Salvation, through Sanctification by The Spirit and Belief in The Truth (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), to which He (God Almighty) Called YOU (Believers) by Our (Jesus’ Disciples) Gospel, for The Obtaining of The Glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore, Brethren (Believers), Stand Fast and Hold The Traditions which YOU (Believers) were Taught, whether by Word or Our (Jesus’ Disciples) Epistle.  Now May Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and Our God (God Almighty) and Father (God Almighty), who has Loved Us (Believers) and Given Us (Believers) Everlasting Consolation and Good Hope by Grace, Comfort Your (Believers) Hearts and Establish YOU (Believers) in Every Good Word and Work.

Fellow Believers, as always, I encourage YOU to READ and STUDY The Holy Bible, for Yourselves, that God Almighty, Himself, will Reveal The True Meaning of these Scriptures to YOU.  (Paul wrote more about this topic, in 1 Corinthians 15:50-58.)  The Main Point We (Believers) should take, from these Scriptures is this, since We (Believers) have Put Our Trust, Our Faith, yes, Our Hope, in Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, We (Believers) KNOW, We (Believers) will be in God Almighty’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, God Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All the rest of The Children (Fellow Believers) of God Almighty, Forever, for Eternity.  Fellow Believers may each and every single one of YOU (Believers), find comfort, in this knowledge.  Amen.
