II Thess.2: 2:1...Day of Christ is at hand. 3...for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. 2: 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.
God's 'iron' sickle will be thrust through the harvest of 'wild grapes' at that time, which I feel is not far off. The plans from Solomon's Temple are just about complete upon this old earth. In ending, allow me to reaffirm a thought in the minds of those who love our LORD. Our Father gave us these signs and events so that we would know what to expect, not being caught off guard. For even as Paul remarked that he had no need to worry about those who do understand The Word, for Christ's returning 'as a thief in the night' will not be a surprise to them, so today this Message bears for us also. But for others who are without, the proper time of our Lord and Saviour’s return will catch them off guard, as an intruder breaking into their house at 'midnight'.
I Thess.5: 3 For when they shall say,” Peace and safety;” then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 6...but let us watch and be sober. 9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 Who died for us , that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Peace be unto you in Christ Jesus,
