Caution to Be Aware of Who is your Teacher on Acts 12 - 3 years ago
Wesley's Notes: 2 Thessalonians 2:9
>2:7 He will surely be revealed; for the mystery: The deep, secret power of iniquity, just OPPOSITE to the power of godliness, already worketh. It began with the love of honour, and the desire of power; and is completed in the ENTIRE SUBVERSION of the gospel of Christ. This mystery of iniquity is not wholly confined to the Rome-ish church, but extends itself to others also. It seems to consist of, Human interpretation ADDED TO THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD.
*Pause here and read Revelation 22:18-21
Mere outside performances put in the room of faith and love (works). The two last branches (Jews, Gentiles) are the direct consequences of the former; namely, the adding to the word of God. Already at work In the church. Only he that restraineth - That is, the potentate who successively has Rome in his power.
2:8 And then, when every prince and power that restrains is taken away (the Holy Spirit), will that wicked one (Antichrist) be revealed. Whom the Lord will soon consume with the spirit of his mouth - His immediate power. And destroy - With the very first appearance of Jesus in his glory.
2:10 Because they received not the LOVE of the truth; Therefore God suffered them to fall into that STRONG DELUSION.
2:11 Therefore God shall send them ; That is, judicially permit to come upon them, strong delusion.
>People's Bible Notes Commentary:
Whose coming. That of the Wicked power (Antichrist) Is after the working of Satan. That is, it will deceive men as Satan does. Lying wonders. False miracles.
Mishael: Believers in Jesus Christ MUST compare what you are being exposed to; taught. Must look up any scriptures given and see if it matches what the Bible says.
Don't be easily deceived and led astray with a lot of fancy preaching. listen to FM antenna on your radio. Same deal: verify the message. Get yourself fed on the Bible every day!
Inspect the Fruit. Trust in the Holy Spirits confirmation or His caution.
