21 / 5 / 24

MY little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write to you, which this is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the ture light is already shining. He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and here is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, he lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - is not of the Father but is of the world.  And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. Little children it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist / the lawless one is coming, even now many antichrist have come, by which we know that is is the last hour.  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. But you have an anonting from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because yo do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledge the Son has the Father also. Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the begining abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us - eternal life. These things I have written to you concerning those who try to decieve you. But the anointing which you have recieved from His abides in you, and do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who paractice righteousness is born of Him.1 JOHN 2:1-29 

                                         Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, Not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one decieve you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition. Who opposes and exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one / Antichrist is  according to working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, And with all righteous deception among those who perish, because they did not recieve the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie. That they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit  and belief in the truth, To which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethen, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by  word or our epistle. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, Comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work. 2 THESSALONIANS 2;1-17
