The Second Letter To The Thessaloníkeans
תסלוניקיא ב
Chapter 1
1. ¶ Páulus and Siluanús and Timótheos: to the convocation of Thessaloníkeans within Yâ-hwéh: our Father, and the Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed.
2. Favor unto you and peace, from Yâ-hwéh: our Father, and the Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed.
Why to love during oppression
3. ¶ We are obligated to thank Yâ-hwéh (יָהְוֶה He causes to be/exist) always concerning you, my brothers, since it is fitting, because your trust increases exceedingly, and the affectionate love of each one of all of you abounds for one another!
4. So as for us to boast about you ourselves in the convocations of Yâ-hwéh over your steadfastness and trusting during all of your persecutions and the oppressions which ye are bearing;
5. An indication of the righteous decision of Yâ-hwéh for you to be accounted worthy of the Kingdom of Yâ-hwéh over which ye also suffer,
6. Even when[E1] it is righteous with Yâ-hwéh to repay oppression to those who oppress you,
7. But to you that are oppressed, He will make alive[E2] with us at the disclosure of the Sovereign Yâhuwshúa`, the Deliverer, from the skies amid envoys of His Force, [7th Trumpet]
8. Who by blazing Fire will render vengeance on those who do not acknowledge Yâ-hwéh, and those that do not listen to heed the glad tidings of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Deliverer, [Marriage Dinner of the Lamb][Chanówkh 89: 34-37]
9. Those who shall pay a penalty: a destruction for the age away from the Presence of Yâ-hwéh, and away from the Honor of His strength, [Disclosure 20: 5]
10. After[E3] He shall have come to be honored by His pure ones, and to be marveled at amidst all those that believe in that Day, because our testimony to you was believed. [After the Great and Terrible Day of Yâ-hwéh, the 6th Seal]
11. For which we also pray for, always, about you: in order that our Mighty Ones may count you worthy of the calling, and may complete you in every pleasing work of goodness, and work of persuasion with Force,
12. So that the name of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` may be honored by you, and ye within it, according to the favor of our Mighty One and of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed!
Chapter 2
The anointed falsifier comes before Yâhuwshúa`
1. ¶ So we beseech you, our brothers, concerning the coming of Yâ-hwéh, Yâhuwshúa` the Deliverer, and our complete collecting[E4] on the same place to Him, [Mt. Tsiyyówn: Yâhuw’Ë´l 2: 32, Disclosure 14: 1]
2. For you to not be quickly shaken out from your understanding, nor to be alarmed, neither by a spirit, nor by a word, nor by letter as if it were from us, as though the Day of Yâ-hwéh[E5] is next!
3. Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, because that Day shall not be next, unless first the rebellion[E6] [MattithYâ´huw 24: 11-12] might have come, and the Man of Sin might have been revealed, the Son of Extermination[E7] , [Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Glad Tidings 17: 12]
4. Who is an adversary even exalting himself above all called mighty ones or objects of worship; so as for him, within the temple building of Yâ-hwéh, to sit down as the Mighty One, making his self appear that he is the Mighty Ones. [Dâ´niyyË´’l 11: 36-37, 2 Qorinthíym 10: 18, YirmYâ´huw 11: 15[E8] ]
5. Do ye not remember that when I yet was with you, I said these things to you?
6. And now ye understand that which restrains for Him [Yâ-hwéh] to be revealed in His own season.
7. For the Secret of Lawlessness is already working, only he is restraining presently until from the midst he shall have been made[E9] [Disclosure 13: 14];
8. And then the Lawless One will be revealed, whom Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa` will take away[E10] with the breath of His mouth [Yshá`Yâhuw 37: 7, ZkharYâ´hu 5: 6-11], and render entirely idle[E11] by the sign above (epiphany) of His coming ï
9. to where[E12] he is, the one coming according to the operation of the Adversary, within all of the force and signs and wonders of the Lie,
10. And within every deception of the Wickedness [ZkharYâ´hu 5: 3-11[E13] ] among the ones that are being exterminated[E14] , which is in the place of[E15] the affectionate love of the Truth they did not accept for them to be rescued.
11. So through permitting this thing, Yâ-hwéh will send to them an operation of fraudulence [Dâ´niyyË´’l 11: 23], for them to believe in the Lie[E16] ,
12. In order that all who did not believe the Truth[E17] , who instead delighted in the Wickedness, may be judged!
Stand firm in the Truth
13. ¶ But we owe to give thanks to Yâ-hwéh always concerning you, brothers beloved by Yâ-hwéh, because Yâ-hwéh chose you from the First for rescue by spiritual purification even by the belief of the Truth,
14. Unto which He called you, through our glad tidings, for the acquisition of the Honor of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed!
15. So therefore stand firm, my brothers, and strongly retain the transmitted instructions[E18] which ye were taught, whether by our word or letter,
16. And that our Sovereign is Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed Himself, and our Father is the Mighty One Who loved us and by favor gave the endless invitation and the good hope.
17. May He[E19] console your hearts, and may He establish you in every word and good work.
Chapter 3
Pray for us
1. ¶ The remainder, our brothers, is pray about us, in order that the Word of Yâ-hwéh may spread, and may be praised everywhere, as also with you;
2. And pray in order that we may be rescued from unreasonable and wicked sons of ’Âthâ´m, for the persuasion is not in all men!
3. Yet Yâ-hwéh is trustworthy, Who will resolutely turn them and will protect you from evil.
4. For we trust in Yâ-hwéh as to you, that ye both are doing and will do the things with which we charge you.
5. And may Yâ-hwéh direct your hearts unto the affectionate Love of the Mighty One, and unto the perseverance of the Deliverer!
On teachers of the Lie
6. ¶ We charge you now, our brothers, by the name of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed: abstain ye from associating with every brother who walks about in a deviated way, and not according to the transmitted instruction that he received from us!
7. For ye yourselves understand how it is necessary for you to imitate us, because we did not behave in a deviated way among you,
8. Nor did we eat bread for without cost from any of your men; instead, to not burden anyone of you, we ate by labor and toil, working night and day;
9. Not because we do not have the authority, instead in order that we might give to you ourselves for a pattern to imitate.
10. For we also charged you with this, when we were with you,
“If anyone does not wish to work, neither let him eat!”
11. For we hear that some men among you are walking in a deviated way, not making any gain [Yshá`Yâhuw 26: 17-18], instead busying themselves in vanities*[E20] .
12. And such ones we charge and implore, by our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed, that minding their own business, they may eat their own bread.
13. But ye, my brothers, do not become weak at doing what is pleasing.
Behavior towards deviated ones
14. ¶ Moreover, if anyone does not listen to heed our Word through the letter, separate that one and do not associate with him, in order that he may be ashamed;
15. But do not consider him as an enemy; instead admonish him as a brother.
16. ¶Yet may Yâ-hwéh Shâlówm (of the Peace) give you peace through everything in every way. Yâ-hwéh ’Immâkhém! (Yâ-hwéh is with you all)
17. The salutation of Páulus by my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: I write in this way.
18. The favor of our Sovereign Yâhuwshúa` is with all of you. ‘Âmë´n
Second letter to the Thessaloníkeans, written from ’Athénai.
[E1]`Ivríyth (Hebrew): ’im (Strong’s #518) has this meaning which is contextually logical. “When” implies sureness of what is said, and the Greek “ei per” (if perhaps) is a mistranslation of this. The establishment translations do not mention this doubt.
[E2]This correction from the Aramaic Peshitta translation makes clear that here it is talking about the 7th Trumpet Resurrection.
[E3]Correction per the Aramaic Peshitta translation. The Greek says “ótan” which means “whenever”, which agrees also but is less clear that all these events are not simultaneous.
[E4]The remnant of 144,000 are all that are going to remain alive of Yisrâ’Ë´l, thus it is a complete collection, the general assembly.
[E5]Sixth Seal. Thessaloníkeans knew this event happens before the First Resurrection at the last trump (#7). But they did not have Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Disclosure to know the time frame of events.
[E6]`Ivríyth (Hebrew): Pésha` means a revolt breaking away from just authority, apostasy (a Greek term). Ignorance is not rebellion, but in these last days as we are spreading the Truth, the Christian’s general refusal to return to it is rebellion.
[E7]Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Glad Tidings 17:12 identifies this Son of the Extermination as Yehuwthâ´h Iy-Çkriy’ówţuw (traditionally “Judas”). In order to minimize those bound for the Lake of Fire, his soul (self) and spirit is to be reincarnated within the cloned anointed falsifier, the image made to the Beast.
[E8]“What does My Beloved have within My house [temple] to work out her many schemes? So they will transition to the flesh of pureness from your ascension [verb = Allah]! Because it is your Wickedness, you shall rejoice then.” This evil plan to have this Lie invade into the Pure place of the pure places, to give the anointed falsifier eternal life in his filthy state, will result in his becoming effectively a demon, and will provide the NWO with a king which could live beyond the human lifespan over their world empire which they wish to make under them. Thus this Lie will glow and will have a supernatural appearance, but will need to be thrown into the Lake of Fire 1,000 years early.
[E9]That is, cloned and birthed again. See Disclosure chapter 13 and comments.
[E10]The Wickedness will be exiled to Shin`â´r and Bâvél will be rebuilt in its proper place for him (ZkharYâ´hu 5: 6-11) and Yshá`Yâhuw 37: 7 repeats that this king of ’Ashshúwr will be literally blown away into exile to his own land, not destroyed.
[E11]In Disclosure chapter 7, immediately following the Sixth seal, the epiphany is “the envoy having ascended from the rising of the sun having the seal of the living Mighty Ones”. It shouts a harm moratorium in verse 3 and renders the Beast and all its minions entirely ineffective until the moratorium is fully lifted at the 6th Trumpet.
[E12]The Image of Jealousy is seen at the rebuilt Temple in Yruwshâláim in YchezqË´’l chapter 8 immediately before Yâhuwshúa`’s coming. This word in Greek is Strong’s #3757, mistaken for #3739 by translators.
[E13]“And He said this to me: ‘This is the curse going out over the surface of the whole earth: because everyone of the ones thieving from this side, according to it, shall be erased; and everyone of the ones filling it in from this other side, according to it, shall be erased: I shall send it out,” declares Yâ-hwéh of Hosts, “and it will come to the house of the thief, and to the house of the one filling in the Lie for My name, and it will remain within his house, and it will destroy it and its timbers and its stones!”: Then the Envoy speaking to me came forward and He said to me: “Lift your eyes now, and look! What is this one going abroad?” And I asked: “What is it?” And He replied: “This is the bushel (’Ëyphâ´h), the one going abroad”, and He added: “This is their vision source throughout all the earth [“Holy Bible”].” Then see! The cover of lead was raised and this one woman was sitting within the bushel. And He said: “This is the WICKEDNESS! [the LorD XezVs ChrIstos 666]” And He pushed her into the interior of the bushel and He pushed the cover of lead over its mouth. And I lifted up my eyes and I looked, and see! Two women going out with wind in their wings and their wings were like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the bushel out of the earth and out of the heavens. And I said to the Envoy, the One speaking to me: “To where are they carrying the bushel?” And He replied to me: “To build for it a house in the land of Shin`â´r. When it is ready, then it will be set there on her place [the image of the beast exiled to Bâvél].”
[E14]“Enter in through the narrow gate; for broad is the gate and wide-open is the way that leads into the extermination, and the many are those who enter in through it.” [MattithYâ´huw 7: 13] “A remnant will return, a remnant of Ya`aqóv, to the Heroic Mighty One: For though your people, Yisrâ’Ë´l, be as the sand of the sea, a remnant of him shall return, A decreed annihilation is overwhelming in righteousness: Because my Sovereign Yâ-hwéh of Hosts is carrying out the termination and the decree in the midst of all the earth:” [Yshá`Yâhuw 10: 21-23]
[E15]A form of Strong’s #473, “anti”. The love for the Lie is opposite to and instead of the love for the Truth, substituting it.
[E16]the LorD XezVs ChrIstos (DCLXVI = 666)
[E17]Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa`
[E18]Or “traditions”, but this has been translated this way to avoid confusing this with the human traditions of the elders of the “Yehuwthím”.
[E19]Referring to Yâhuwshúa` and our Father, “He” is singular. Otherwise it’d say “They” here. Yâ-hwéh ’echâ´th (Yâ-hwéh is One).
[E20]Per the Aramaic translation.
