1 Brothers and sisters, we have something to say about the coming of our Master YAHUSHA MESSIAH. We want to talk to you about that time when we will meet together with Him. 2 Don’t let yourselves be easily upset or worried if you hear that the day of the Master has already come. Someone might say that this idea came from us—in something the Spirit told us, or in something we said, or in a letter we wrote. 3 But don’t be fooled by anything they might say. For that day of the Master will not come until the turning away from YAHUSHA happens. And that day will not come until the Man of evil lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction 4 He will stand against and lift himself up above everything that is called Alahim, yes everything people worship or think is worthy of worship … He will take over. He will even go into the set-apart Temple of YAHUAH and sit there, claiming that he himself is YAHUSHA!
5 I told you before that all these things would happen, Remember? 6 And you know what is stopping that Man of Evil Lawlessness now. He is being stopped now so that he will appear at the right time. 7 The secret power of evil is already working in the world now. But there is One who is stopping that secret power of evil. And He will continue to stop it until he’s taken out of the way. 8 Then that Man of Evil Lawlessness will appear, but our Master YAHUSHA will consume him with the breath that comes from His mouth. The Master will come in a way that everyone will see, and that will be the end of that Man of Evil Lawlessness.
9 When that Man of Evil Lawlessness comes, it will be the work of Satan himself. He will come with great power, and do all kinds of false miracles, signs and wonders. 10 The Man of Evil Lawlessness will use every kind of evil deceit to fool those who are lost. They are lost because they refused to love the truth and be delivered. 11 So YAHUSHA will send them a powerful delusion that leads them away from the truth and causes them to believe the lying imposter. 12 They will all be condemned because they didn’t believe the truth and because they even enjoyed doing evil behaviour.
13 Brothers and Sisters, you are people the Master loves. And we always thank YAHUSHA for you (as we should), because Alahim YAHUAH chose you from the very beginning, to be delivered by His Spirit making you Set-Apart and by your trusting belief in the truth. 14 YAHUSHA chose you to have His deliverance, by using the Good News that we’ve told you. You were chosen so that you can share in the esteem of our Master YAHUSHA MESSIAH. 15 So, Brothers and Sisters, stand strong and continue to believe the teachings we gave you when we were there and by our letters.
16-17 We pray that the Master YAHUSHA MESSIAH Himself (our Alahim and Father YAHUAH) will comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say. YAHUSHA loved us and gave us through His favour a wonderful hope and comfort that has no end.
