    It was future when it was given, but now fulfilled for us. The man of lawlessness was Eleazar, son of Ananus and grandson of Judas Iscariot. He was revealed on August 14, AD66. His dad was the restrainer and died that day. That was also the day he put an end to sacrifice and offerings for Nero. Nero then ordered after that, the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. The falling away took place during the Jewish revolt. The man of lawlessness eventually fled to the Masada during the destruction of the temple (he was governor of the temple). He gave a speech at the Masada, which led to their suicide. That was the last of Israel’s enemies, which was death since they committed suicide. Then Israel had their last Yom Teruah, and their last day was Tishri 5, or in Gregorian, September 22, AD73. A few years after the temple was destroyed.

    "About the Day of the Lord and our being gathered to him, brothers, to execute the justifiable judgment of God," Apostle Paul said in his letters for his spiritual brothers, "don't let any spirit, prophecy, or letter that is like came from us saying "The Day of the Lord is already reigning!" Don't let anyone deceives you by any means for the Lord's Day will not come unless these two things occur first:
    "One, the people will reach the peak of their rebellion against the Truth that is being preached by the saints and....
    "Two, the man of sin or the son of perdition is revealed first.
    "Don't you remember that I used to tell you these things? And you know what is the hindrance right now so that he will be only exposed in the appointed time."
    What will this wicked power is going to do?
    "He will oppose and exalt himself above all the holy ones, so that he sets himself up in God's heavenly temple proclaiming himself as the Eternal God or the Holy Father, the head of the church and the dispenser of truth."
    (Why is it that God will let the people to be ruled by this wicked ruler and also why will he let his saints to be captivated and oppressed?)
    Because of the people's rebellion, God will punish them and at the same time, to test the faithfulness of his saints even in times of tribulation so that they can rightfully join Christ in judging the world on his Day.
    Apostle Paul continued, "This secret power of lawlessness is already at work during these times but someone is hindering its exposé and he will remain secret until the one who is keeping him from being revealed is taken out of the way."
    Satan, the Dark Power is hiding this power of wickedness, his tool for deception, so that he can effectively deceive the world and can lead the people to follow his evil teachings, and to facilitate his reign over them and over the saints. But after his appointed day ends, the Lord will come down, seize him, bound him, and will throw him in prison. If that happened already...
    "Then the wicked one will be exposed whom the Lord will slain by the word of truth and destroy by the brightness of his Day."
    And that Day will be a thousand bright years, the end times of the world to face God's judgments, mercy, and salvation.
    But before that Day, Apostle Paul explained the Day of the Wicked One. He will perform counterfeit miracles using the power of Satan to deceive those who are perishing. They perish because they rejected the truth that should have saved them, but instead, they chose and delighted in wickedness. This is why God will send this powerful spirit of delusion over them so that they will continue to believe the lie and be condemned.
    What history confirms?
    During the 5th century until the ends of the 17th century, the spirit behind the papacy of the Rome claimed he is the Holy Father and head above all the saints and the sole teacher of truth and that the Day of the Lord is already reigning. But he and his wrong teachings were exposed, he was overpowered, and his church was divided at the ends of the 1700's onward.

    There should be no confusion as to the nature of "the man of lawlessness". Moses prophesied that Israel would rebel from keeping the covenant and obedience to the 10 commandments later in its statehood. Moses writes, "Be sure to keep all the commandments of this covenant lest a *man*, woman, clan or tribe incite the nation to rebel against the covenant and worship other Gods ("rulers") for God will never forgive that man and his anger will burn like fire against that *man*, woman, clan or tribe (Deuteronomy 29:16-29) The "rebellion" Paul speaks of is Israel's rebellion against the keeping of its national covenant (as Daniel 9 also mentioned) and "the man of lawlessness" is a prominent Israelite leader who will dissuade the nation from obedience to the 10 commandments of the covenant. Paul is simply reiterating Moses' and Yeshua's warnings not to let false prophets or blind leaders mislead Israel from obedience to the commandments. I feel as though the keeping of Sabbath Memorial is the pivotal point for the man of lawlessness because Yeshua appeared to John on Sabbath Memorial Day, "The Lord's Day", that which God regards as his "seal of allegiance" (Isaiah 56:1-7, 58:1-2, 58:13-14), and warns that violators who accept the mark of this wayward government instead of his seal will not be able to "buy and sell gold, linen or eye salve" from him and will have "no rest day" and Revelation closes with a strong admonition to keep the 10 commandments and then describes those who do not keep the 10 commandments as "dogs, magicians, necromancers, sexually immoral or deviant, murderers, idolaters and those who love to practice falsehood and deception" (Revelation 22:14-15).

    wouldn't it be easier for man to admit he is the man of lawlessness instead of looking at other men to determine if they a the man of lawlessness? And if man does not know his Christ within him, how could man know Christ? If man does not recognize the temple of God is the body man believes is his, would he not know his God? Wouldn't this be considered "anti-Christ"? When man practices sinning against his living God, man is committing lawlessness. When man takes the throne of God, man is lawlessness. When man uses his own thoughts or conscious to make his decisions, he has taken the throne of God who dwells within man, in the most high place of his temple. You are right, there are a lot of false religions and teachings. How many people will proclaim the living God within them? They look elsewhere.

    The revelation of the "man of lawlessness" heralds the coming of the lord , why ? Simply because he is that "man of lawlessness" as he is lord of everything , he is not bound by any law the reason he is called "lawless" , and because he is "lawless" , he is SINLESS for no law can accuse him because he is not under the law...and because he is the "man of lawlessness" , he hates the lawlessness of men because men are under the law , and they transgress the law...he is coming into the world to destroy sinners and their evil works...
    There lies the mystery of "lawlessness" , it has two meanings which are exactly opposed to each other , the first meaning of "lawlessness" is SINFULNESS while the second meaning of "lawlessness" is SINLESSNESS...

  • @rexcavalier
    @rexcavalier 3 года назад

    There are two comings presented in 2Thessalonians 2:
    First, the coming of the wicked one, and then after he is exposed, the coming of the Lord commences.
    The word coming here is equal to the Day of the Lord or his reign and also the gathering of the saints to him.
    So, before the Day of the Lord, the Day of Wicked One comes first and he will scatter the saints.
    Paul described this Wicked One as already doing his evil works even during the first century but in mystery or in secrecy. Unrevealed, unexposed, covered, or hidden, to effectively deceive the world.
    Paul said that someone was keeping him from being exposed and that situation will continue until this hindrance to his revelation is taken out of the way.
    I believe that Paul was talking about Satan, the Dark Power, who was hiding the Evil One. Once he is removed or put in prison, his wicked son is exposed, and the Thousand Bright Years will come and all the saints will be gathered to the Lord and will execute the fair judgment to the world.
    How to distinguish this Evil One?
    After the people have reached the peak of their rebellion against the pure teaching of the saints, God will puniish then by letting this Evil One rule over them. At the sane time, the saints will be tested of their loyalty during these time of tribulation.
    The wicked one (who is a spirit) will oppose all the teachings of the saints and will exalt himself above them all by setting up his throne in the church of God and proclaims he is the God or the Holy Father (Santo Papa) and as Head of God's Church. And the saints were handed to him for a time, times, and half a time.
    This was fulfilled from 538 C.E. to 1798 C.E., a thousand year-reign of this false holy spirit over the saints and during these dark times, this spirit preached that the thousand years of Christ has come already through the reign of christianity led by their Holy Father who sits in the Vatican city.
    But from 1798 to 1844, he was finally exposed, overpowered, and divided into many factions and from 1844 to 3104, a 1,260 years also, the Word of Truth will annihilate this Wicked One and the brightness of the Day will destroy him.

    • @desi76
      @desi76 2 года назад

      You make good points, but I think that you err in that you claim that "someone" is holding back the man of lawlessness. 2 Thessalonians 2 makes it clear that the man of lawlessness will not be revealed "until *the rebellion* occurs" and "now you know what is holding him back so that the man of lawlessness is revealed at the proper time".
      Then Paul states, "the one who now holds it (the rebellion) back will continue to do so until he is taken out of the way, *then the man of lawlessness will be revealed*..."
      The man of lawlessness is being held back because "the rebellion" has not occurred yet.
      Once Israel has rebelled against the observation of the 10 commandments of the covenant in a specific way and for a designated duration of time then the man of lawlessness will be revealed.
      "Oh, Lord, Great and Awesome Ruler, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commandments: we have sinned, we have erred, we have been wicked and *we have rebelled*..." (Daniel 9:4-14).

    9:53 Someone who is to receive recognition by the state of Isreal as the anointed of Hashem, of the lineage of David; a very big condition for acceptance as HAMasciach. since this person cannot possibly be Jesus of Nazareth; who died two thousand years ago; unless this contemporary person is descended from Jesus, or his Mother, He'd be the Man of Lawlessness, since Jesus fulfilled the law.
    you and I say that Jesus is, but You and I are Gentiles, not Jews. I'd think it would be up to Jews to say who their Messiah is, since they probably know their own scripture better, unless they too keep reading it wrong.
    Just like with G-d, with self -interest, just about anything is possible. Only then, it's just wanton indulgence. I don't just believe, and my faith is more like knowing.

    THE LITTLE HORN IS USA!!!
    HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE CLUES:
    It is a Kingdom (Dan 7:24). It is a new Kingdom, a young Kingdom. USA is only approximately 245 years old, that is why it is called a little horn (Dan 7:8). It plucked out three (Spain, France, Britain) of the older horns (Kingdoms) or three of the older horns fell before it. Spain, France and Britain colonized the USA, but USA plucked them out, and became a independent Country, USA became the dominant horn on the Beast, the leader of the pack (Dan 7:20). This little horn intends to change the appointed times and laws (Dan 7:24-25). How does this little horn intend to change times and laws? Answer: USA acts like it is God, USA goes to war to remove Kings, Governments, Leaders ect. USA acts like God and changes the times and seasons, USA removes kings and establishes them (Dan 2:21). USA will also conquer Christianity: and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time (Dan 7:25). USA will be the last World Power the last Kingdom to rule this earth, God's Kingdom will crush USA, not China, not Russia (Dan 7:26-27).
    THE SECOND BEAST, THE BEAST FROM THE EARTH IS THE USA!!!
    HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE CLUES:
    The First Beast in Revelation 13:1-10 is a Empire, it is also known as the Fourth Beast in Daniel 7:7-22. This Beast is the Roman Empire the West. The Second Beast, the Beast from the Earth, is the leader of this Beast Empire, this pack of Western Nations. The USA exersizes all the power of the First Beast, it is the leader of the pack: And this beast exercised all the authority of the first beast and caused the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed (Rev 13:12).
    Why is the USA called the Beast from the earth? Answer: Because the USA was created, colonised by the earth, the earth in the Bible is symbolic of Nations ect. Spain, France and Britain created and colonised the USA. Whereas the First Beast was from the Sea, not from the Earth. The First Beast the Roman Empire was created formed by the Sea of Man, in the Bible the Sea is symbolic of peoples ect. The First Beast came from the Sea, it was not created and colonised by Nations, the earth.
    THE TWO HORNED LAMB, THE FALSE PROPHET IS THE USA!!!
    Why is the USA called a Lamb? Answer: Because it is a young Kingdom a Lamb, a baby Kingdom, only 245 years old.
    Why does the USA have two horns if it is just a Lamb? Answer: It displays itself as a innocent Lamb but acts like a full grown Beast with horns decieving mankind. USA acts like a God, USA changes times and laws, USA removes Kings by force and establishes new ones (Dan 2:21, Dan 7:24-25). The USA acts like a innocent Lamb, a christian Nation, promoting democracy, freedom, innocent of any activity on the world scene. But this would be a facade in that it would actually be a powerful and dominating “beast” that would do wondrous things even causing “fire” to come from “heaven” performing great signs to decieve man (Rev 13:13-14). But the beast (Western Empire) was captured along with the false prophet (USA), who on its behalf had performed signs deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image (United Nations) (Rev 19:20).
    USA THE FALSE PROPHET DECIEVES MANKIND!!!
    And the second beast (USA) performed great signs to cause even fire from heaven to come down to earth in the presence of the people. Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast (Western Empire), it deceived those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image (United Nations) to the beast (Western Empire) that had been wounded (Rev 13:13-14). But the beast (Western Empire) was captured along with the false prophet (USA) who on its behalf had performed signs deceiving those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image (Rev 19:20). What are these great signs that the USA decieves man with? Answer: In 1945 the USA orchastrated, on behalf of the Beast Empire, the great hoax lie of Nuclear Weapons, decieving mankind into looking for a Savior. The result was the creation of the Image of the Beast, the United Nations, as a Savior. In 2020 the USA orchastrated on behalf of the Beast another great deception, the plandemic. This deception is being used by the Beast to make you Worship the Beast as a Savior!!!
    THE BEAST EMPIRE AND USA CONQUERS CHRISTIANITY!!!
    As I watched, this horn (USA) was waging war against the saints and prevailing against them (Dan 7:21).
    And the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time (Dan 7:25).
    When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss (United Nations) will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them (Rev 11:7).
    Then the beast (Western Empire) was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation (Rev 13:7).

      Actually, the little horn is the papacy, which is also the first beast that the land beast, the US, will make the image to (a copy of enforced Sunday laws like the first beast did.) The little horn grew directly out of the pagan Roman empire, and of the 10 divisions of Rome, the papacy uprooted 3 tribes, the Vandals, Heruli, and Ostragoths. It then went on to rule for 1260 years, kill saints, and blaspheme God by claiming the pope was God on earth.
