Don’t Fall; Thoroughly Deceived; Genos Mixing; Jeremiahs Rising

It is starting to seem that those who advocated for the mixing of genetics are mysteriously falling ill. Even those who joke about how much Jesus loves them because they mixed their genetics seem to fall over, in an enigmatic way. It is quite disturbing to learn that there are people in the body of Christ in high positions who are encouraging the mixing of genetics. The technology was being developed as a cancer treatment but had not been successful as of yet. Then it seemed as if the whole world went crazy and tyrannical over the forced mixing of genos. I read about one person who seems to have his fingers in many pies in the Body of Christ, who advocates for Christians to mix their genes with unknown DNA. Are we to assume that someone with a high position in Christendom has no idea that the subject of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, deals heavily with the mixing of genes, and the progeny of the mixed races? Or are we to assume such leaders in Christendom, with fingers in many pies, know nothing about the mixed genos, or the ongoing problems of the mixed genos in society? Jesus gave us a solution to our mixed genos, and eradicating the spirits that attach themselves to our contaminated genos. But there seems to be something else going on here. We realize that judgment comes on the House of God first, and that means that as we get closer to several events spoken of by the prophets, there will be a separating of people out from the Body of Christ. 

This push to mix the genos of humans is simply round one. There will be other attempts. We know that in the tribulation there will be an identifying mark that everyone will have, and that it will be needed in order to buy and to sell. But there is also the need for an army to rise up against the creator. How can an army of sane people think they can overtake The Creator of Heaven and Earth? Something would have to change within their genos to compromise their mental faculties. Since scientists have been working on the “god gene” in order to erase the Elohim out of people’s minds, it would be reasonable to think that future programs would exploit this to their own advantage. Gathering an army against The Creator would be easier, especially if people are told their enemies are aliens from another planet, rather than The Creator. Nonetheless, the deceptions and seductions are a  constant, meaning that they happen in every generation. Instead of being surprised over enemy infiltration into the Church we can be informed. Then we can learn how to mitigate the issue for ourselves. 


2 Thessalonians 2:1 G2065 And we ask G1161   G1473 you, G80 brethren, G5228 concerning G3588 the G3952 arrival G3588   G2962 of our Lord G1473   G* Jesus G5547 Christ, G2532 and G1473 our G1997 assembling together G1909 unto G1473 him,


“But question you brothers in behalf of the coming the Yahweh our Jesus Christ and our gathering upon him.”


There are two events mentioned here, the parousia, and the above gathering. What is this above gathering? The base of this word, sunago is an “assembly”. When we look at all its usages we see that it is a “rising up together”. The prefix Epi means “above”. What above gathering is Paul referring to? Harpazo. It is a complete collection, a worship assembly. As we looked at the resurrection earlier, we recognized that Paul moved up the timing of the event and defined those who are the just as those who believe on Jesus. Now Paul further defines the harpazo as a complete “above gathering”. We can see how specific this is. 


2 Thessalonians 2: 2 G1519 for G3588   G3361 [2to not G5030 3quickly G4531 4be shaken G1473 1you] G575 of G3588 the G3563 mind, G3383 nor G2360 to be alarmed, G3383 neither G1223 by G4151 spirit, G3383 nor G1223 by G3056 word, G3383 nor G1223 by G1992 letter, G5613 as G1223 by G1473 us, G5613 that G3754   G1764 [5is present G3588 1the G2250 2day G3588 3of the G5547 4Christ].


“Into not quickly agitated you away from the mind but not cry aloud and not through spirit and not through words and not through written message thus through us thus because at hand the Day the Lord”


Paul points out three ways for people to become agitated and cry. One is through spirit, an evil spirit, or a demon. The Holy Spirit will never agitate anyone or lead anyone away from what the prophets wrote. The second way to become agitated is to listen to people who are stating things contrary to the message that Paul already preached in Thessalonica. The third way is through written messages. In Paul’s time there were many letters sent out to the different churches and synagogues. This is how people kept up with the news. Some people thought they had a right to speak into everyone’s lives, disregarding the disciples and prophets. They sent out letters claiming that the Lord had already come and now people were waiting for the Day of the Lord. Paul is telling people not to regard anything that differs from what he wrote. Jeremiah had a similar problem in his time, as we will see. Three ways that we become led astray and become agitated in our mind: evil spirits, false prophets, and false teachers. 


The same things happen today. An evil spirit stirs someone up to believe something false. Someone boldly declares something contrary to the apostles such as “there is no harpazo and everyone has to go through the tribulation”. Someone writes a book contrary to the apostles teachings as to why there is no such thing as the harpazo. This is what Paul is dealing with and we could say that we deal with the same things as well. It’s not like Satanas has anything new to throw at us. 


Do not be oscillated in mind, or do not let your mind spin out of control. Neither be disturbed by any thing or any one that the Day of the Lord is not present. Paul told the Thessalonian Church to rest regarding their suffering and now tells them not to spin out of control regarding the timing of these events, the parousia, the episunagoge, and the apocalypse. Paul then says not to let anyone deceive you because that day will not come until the falling away comes first.

The Day of the Lord will not come unless there comes a defection first. Verse 2 of 2 Thessalonians 2 says that the Day of Christ is not present or happening now. What defection is coming? Who is going to defect? There will be a defection from truth and an apocalypse of the man of sin. Let’s cover this defection first.  


2 Thessalonians 2: 3 G3361 Let not G5100 any G1473 completely deceive you G1818   G2596 in G3367 not one G5158 manner!

Thayer:

1) a falling away, defection, apostasy

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words


ἀποστασία 

apostasia ap-os-tas-ee'-ah Feminine of the same as G647; defection from truth (properly the state), (“apostasy”) KJV Usage: falling away, forsake.


“Not anyone you deceive thoroughly downwards and not one turn that if not come the defection from truth/apostasy before and revealed the manfaced lawless the son the destruction.”


This is a really strong sentiment by Paul. There will be a falling away, a divorce, or a revolt. What we see this word apostasia (apostay) expressing is a “defection from the truth”. 1Timothy 4 says that some will be led away by spirits of delusion and instructions of demons. Somehow, there will be a defection from truth, or a forsaking of the truth. Then the man of sin is uncovered, apokaluptō. 


Are we close to the man of sin being uncovered? Probably not, but we want to consider who is going to fall away. Will the unbelievers fall away or defect from truth? No. Will the satan worshippers fall away from truth? No. The only ones who can fall away from truth are those who had the truth. Some people had the truth, but became thoroughly deceived or wholly seduced. The word exapataō is in the aorist tense, meaning that there is no reference to duration or completion of the action. It is the idea that people will be deceived and fall away from the time that Paul wrote this until the harpazo. People will continually be seduced wholly and will fall away. The deception comes downward from a spiritual place above. Paul says don’t let anyone downwardly deceive you thoroughly and don’t turn. There will be a defection from truth before the revealing of the sinful son of perdition. Paul is putting out the warning that there is a continuous deception leading to falling away, not a one time event. After deception, apostasy. This is first. 


Being that there is no time limit on deception and seduction, we can understand that we will see people who claim to be in the Body of Christ, with prominent positions of leadership, be deceived and seduced. Why? Well, we know that sometimes Satanas elevates people so far and so fast they have no time to read and study on their own. They tend to rely on others for eating spiritual food once per week. We should consider that deception sneaks in early, a little at a time. Deception does not show up all at once in full, forcing a decision, it picks a small matter here and there. Any error can lead to dismissing portions of scripture to substantiate the error, which is deception. Pretty soon people believe that the Bible is just a nice book with nice stories but of no relevance for today.


Some people claim that the apostasy is the harpazo, but if we look at the word, it is in a negative connotation. Humans cannot “revolt” to heaven, we do not have that kind of power. Apostasy is the idea of being forsaken, falling away from what is right. Now from an earthly perspective, for one who is left behind, the harpazo will seem like a negative event, people left the earth. But from Paul’s perspective the harpazo is a positive event. 


2 Thessalonians 2: 4 G3588 the one G480 being an adversary G2532 and G5229 elevating himself G1909 above G3956 all G3004 being called G2316 god G2228 or G4574 object of worship; G5620 so as for G1473 him G1519 [2in G3588 3the G3485 4temple G3588   G2316 5of God G5613 6as G2316 7God G2523 1to sit], G584 exhibiting G1438 himself G3754 that G1510.2.3 he is G2316 God.


“The opponent and haughty upon everyone, affirm elohim or object of worship so that he into the temple the Elohim, sits down shows by proof himself that he is elohim.”


The lawless son of destruction will be haughty and boastful to everyone. He will affirm elohim. He will affirm that he is the elohim and an object of worship by going into the temple. We know that he is not The Elohim, Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Remember “im” makes the word “God” plural, three or more. This also tells us that he is backed by two other spiritual beings. This man’s announcement will wake a lot of people up, but unfortunately it will be a bad time to mention it. There will be a lot of blood under the altar. 


This man will sit in the Holy of Holies and not die, and so people will think that this is proof that he is god. He will reside where the Living God would reside if the Living God was in the temple as in the day of Solomon. Since this man does not die, many people believe him and worship him. Paul told them about this when he was visiting. John gives us more details regarding this man and this time period. Nevertheless there will be someone who is under the power of Satanas who will pretend to be god. 


2 Thessalonians 2: 5 G3756 Do you not G3421 remember G3754 that G2089 still G1510.6 being G4314 with G1473 you, G3778 [2these things G3004 1I said] G1473 to you?


“Not remember that as yet being towards you these things said to you.”


Paul has already told the Thessalonians that there would be a continual deception. He told them that people would fall away. He told them that the son of perdition would sit in the temple claiming to be god. Doesn’t this mean that there must be a temple for him to sit in? He must sit in the Holy of Holies. Not just an altar, a temple. 


2 Thessalonians 2:6 G2532 And G3568 now G3588 the one G2722 constraining G1492 you know, G1519 for G3588 the G601 uncovering G1473 him G1722 in G3588   G1438 his own G2540 time.

κατέχω 

katechō kat-ekh'-o From G2596 and G2192; to hold down (fast), in various applications (literally or figuratively) KJV Usage: have, hold (fast), keep (in memory), let, X make toward, possess, retain, seize on, stay, take, withhold.


“And now at this very time the holding down knows into the uncovering him in the his proper time.”


The word katechō, is a combination of kata, “downward”, and echō, to “hold”. Someone has the evil one in a downward hold, in other words pinned down on the mat until the revealing. This doesn’t mean all evil is held back, it means the son of perdition cannot rise up and reveal himself until the one holding back says so. We too are constrained from the harpazo. The sinful manfaced of destruction cannot be revealed while we are here. Until we go up, he cannot come to power. 


Literally: the one binding knows until the apocalypse in his season. The word “you” does not appear in the text, so the one binding knows and is holding down these future events until it is the due season for the lawless man of sin to be revealed. We are constrained from the resurrection. The man of sin is constrained from his appearing.


While believers in Christ are on the earth, the man of sin who pretends to be god cannot present himself as god. The Holy Spirit is on the earth now and this poser cannot come into his false power while the Holy Spirit is on the earth. There is one constraining us and the man of sin, and we know who it is. Why are we detained on the earth? We are waiting for the number of nations to come into the Body of Christ, as Romans tells us. We are also in a time frame in the age of grace, heading toward the tribulation. We are held down until the one holding us down is ready to release us. The one holding us down does so until the revealing of the man of sin in his own season. That same one, the Holy Spirit, holds back the revealing of this person to the world until the harpazo has occurred. 


1 John tells us that “greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world”. That statement being true means that the Holy Spirit within us is greater than what the lawless man of sin has residing within him. Therefore the man of sin, the son of destruction, cannot come to power while the Body of Christ is still residing on the earth. He may be on the earth, but he is not in power, he is not energized by satan. As of today there is no temple for this fake god to sit in. There must be a temple for him to sit in, this is a benchmark in time for us to remember. Greater is the one in me, therefore the lawless one cannot be revealed, and without a temple to sit in, he cannot claim himself to be god.

μυστήριον 

mustērion moos-tay'-ree-on From a derivative of μύω muō (to shut the mouth); a secret or “mystery” (through the idea of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites) KJV Usage: mystery.


“For the mystery now operates the lawlessness alone the holding down now until from out of middle comes into being.”


What is the mystery of sin? Mustērion means “something hidden”, but it can go as deep as “a secret religion with an initiation”. We know that one of the mysteries is that it would be Christ in the believer, the hope of glory. We know that another mystery is that we are the ones who present the multifaceted wisdom of Jesus our Yahweh to the principalities and rulers. The qualifier here is the word anomia; translated “illegality, violation of law, wickedness, sin, or disobedience”.  One aspect of the mystery of sin is that after Satanas enticed angels to defect or fall, he enticed them to change the human genome. After Yahweh aborted their mission, they took their mission underground. Again, none of the spiritual sons of the Elohim can procreate amongst their own genos. Who are they going to rule over? Humans. There is a mystery here because as we know, they cannot ultimately succeed, but they do succeed in deceiving thoroughly or wholly seducing some people. This mystery of sin is already at work. It is simply taking on more sophisticated means as the age gets closer to ending. 


The mystery of lawlessness is already energized. It is in operation on the earth. But there is one holding it and us back at this moment. The restrainer comes out from the middle. We have to come out from the middle of the unbelievers on earth and rise to heaven. We are harpazo’d from the middle of those who do not love the truth. We have the Holy Spirit within us, we are sealed until the day of redemption. Once we are harpazo’d then the uncovering of the lawless one will be revealed. There is never a time when the Holy Spirit is ripped out of the believers on the earth to leave them helpless and hopeless. There is never a time since Pentecost when the Holy Spirit departs the earth and comes out of the children of the Living God. The Holy Spirit and the redeemed all leave together, harpazo. 


Who is thoroughly deceived and wholly seduced? Many people within the Body of Christ are either unaware, or intentionally planted, to thoroughly deceive others. If the Holy Spirit was never indwelling someone, or the Holy Spirit has been renounced as with Solomon, then those individuals are not leading others in the direction of Yahweh. Then it is easy to thoroughly deceive the Body of Christ. It is a meticulous deception. It starts a bit at a time. 


Besides the genetic mixing we have the ingrafting of evil. As we know from Job, Drakōn attempts to ingraft. We have learned that the devil was created to be sported with by the angels and we have learned that the devil/dragon is a prick or a goad. But there is another aspect to explore regarding the devil/dragon and how we then wage war against this stinger. 


Job 41:24 There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels.

Job 41:33 G3756 There is not G1510.2.3   G3762 anything G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth G3664 likened G1473 to him, G4160 being made, G1460.1 to be mocked at G5259 by G3588   G32 my angels. G1473  


1461 Dodson:ἐγκεντρίζω I graft in I graft in, ingraft.

Thayer:

1) to cut into for the sake of inserting a scion 

2) to inoculate, ingraft, graft in


ἐγκεντρίζω 

egkentrizō eng-ken-trid'-zo From G1722 and a derivative of G2759; to prick in, that is, ingraft

KJV Usage: graff in (-to).


1722

ἐν 

en en  A primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state), and (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively), that is, a relation of rest (intermediate between G1519 and G1537); “in” , at, (up-) on, by, etc.

KJV Usage: about, after, against, + almost, X altogether, among, X as, at, before, between, (here-) by (+ all means), for (. . . sake of), + give self wholly to, (here-) in (-to, -wardly), X mightily, (because) of, (up-) on, [open-] ly, X outwardly, one, X quickly, X shortly, [speedi-] ly, X that, X there (-in, -on), through (-out), (un-) to(-ward), under, when, where (-with), while, with (-in). Often used in compounds, with substantially the same import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different) prep.


2760 LSJ Gloss:κέντρον any sharp point

Dodson:κέντρον a sting, goad a sting, goad; met: of death.

Thayer:

1) a sting, as that of bees, scorpions, locusts. Since animals wound by their sting and even cause death, Paul attributes death, personified as a sting, i.e. a deadly weapon 

2) an iron goad, for urging on oxen, horses and other beasts of burden 

2a) hence the proverb, "to kick against the goad", i.e. to offer vain and perilous or ruinous resistance


κέντρον 

kentron ken'-tron From κεντέω kenteō (to prick); a point (“centre”), that is, a sting (figuratively poison) or goad (figuratively divine impulse) KJV Usage: prick, sting.


The word egkentrizō literally means “in sting” or “instrumentally goad”. The devil/dragon was created to literally be a prick or to prick. There is a created opponent to the angels who competes and stings. He did not become an opponent, he was created as an opponent. The devil/dragon was poieō, formed or made to be sported with. The devil/dragon was manufactured and constructed to be a competitor, a being that would sting and goad. Yahweh also tells us that the devil/dragon was made to be played with by the angels. There is no suggestion of the devil being made to be played with by man. This is why humanity has been at a disadvantage in this sport. We simply have lacked the full knowledge of what is going on because the devil/dragon is the elohim of this cosmos. 


Job 40:14 This is the chief of the creation of the Lord; made to be played with by his angels.


Job 40:19 G5123 This is G746 the beginning G4110 of the thing shaped G2962 by the lord; G4160 being made G1460.1 to be mocked G5259 by G3588   G32 his angels. G1473  


There is another aspect of this which we must research. The devil tries to in-graft like a scion. We could think of this as ingrafting a shoot from one type of tree into a different tree or bush, to grow up together. Sometimes people ingraft two different varieties of apple trees into one apple tree so that they self pollinate and produce three different varieties of apples. This ingrafting will start with thoughts and ideas, trying to get humans to agree with those thoughts that may be contrary to what Yahweh intends for humans. Once these thoughts take hold, there is further merging and ingrafting of actions that are contrary to our Creator’s plans for humanity. Once the grafting fully takes, the individual’s soul and spirit are merged with the evil of the devil/dragon. 


Even the heirs of the fallen angels have a free will opportunity to love and serve Yahweh. Their DNA is part angelic and part human, but they have freewill to choose who they will serve. It would seem that most chimera (genetically mixed beings) tend to follow after their fallen ancestors. 


Those who allow the ingrafting of the devil/dragon into their lives become a different being. They are not as they have been created. This is how we are to war. First, by resisting the ingrafting of thoughts, then deeds, before we are faced with being fully grafted with the devil/dragon, so that we end up doing his will as opposed to the will of our Creator.


https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2019/07/unsuccessful-testing-trials-sport.html


If something can be grafted into a human that would genetically alter humans, would that be a plan that the future tribulation leaders would like to try out today? Would there be a practice event, to see how it turns out? What if the practice event ends up killing humans? Certainly depopulation is important, but not the depopulation of Satanas’ army. There will be a new “disease” and a new genetic altering solution until the church is taken out of the way. 


Remember what we studied last week? Jesus said that this genos comes out by prayer and fasting. This genos can come out. It takes work. When someone grafts one plant into another there is a period of time where the graft is not adhered. This is the easiest time to un-graft. But if the graft has been in too long, we then rely on the the logos as the sword with the laser precision to separate the graft. The Holy Spirit can un-graft, start the process with prayer and fasting to loosen its hold. There is no doom and gloom here, only hard work. Hard is not bad it is just hard. 


We are schooled to be nice in the Church, we give people audience and respect without checking their references. They come to us as wolves in sheep clothing. We make the mistake of looking for earthly success as the evidence of fruit. Satanas is very capable of pouring out riches and prominence on people who work for him. Therefore we look for spiritual fruit from the Holy Spirit. We look for the gifts of the Spirit as well. But even in that, one must observe and question for a period of time. The biggest give away is the lack of knowledge of scripture. If one is in opposition to the written word, then that one, with their ideas, should immediately be held in abeyance until research and understanding can be done. 


Why does the Elohim make these subjects a bit hidden? Because it is the glory of the Elohim to hide the logos, but the glory of kings to venerate a matter. We respect what Yahweh hid. We search it out to know. This puts our dependance on Him not on ourselves. We are called to be kings and priests, we should be searching for the hidden logos. There are many subjects in the Bible that have not always been known. It took time for the Bible to be written in common language and it took time for the technology for the common translations to be searched backward as close to the original as possible. Therefore if someone came to a realization in the 1800’s it does not mean that it was a new subject, it was simply newly known to more people than before. Knowledge gets lost. Mixed genos, the perverted genos, the earthborn, the iron hybrids, the changings, the Philistines, the progeny of asps, and the Nephilim, have all been hiding in plain site. They have always been a main subject of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. There is nothing new about it, it all was written long ago, the new-er writings are two thousand years old. Just because we are understanding the subject today does not mean it is new to everyone. The writers understood it quite well. It is the mission of Satanas to thoroughly deceive and wholly seduce us. 


There are many people who claim to be prophets, but I would suggest that many are false prophets. Notice Jeremiah. He prophesied a seventy year captivity in Babylon, which Daniel was paying attention to. Jeremiah blasted the false prophets who claimed that Judah would not go into captivity.


We do not see many people with the mission of Jeremiah. Jeremiah called out all the false prophets. The P.T. Barnum prophets of our day could use a Jeremiah to set them straight. Do not trust in unrighteousness. 


Jeremiah (Brenton) Jer 35:12  And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Ananias had broken the yokes off his neck, saying,

Jer 35:13  Go and speak to Ananias, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but I will make instead of them yokes of iron.

Jer 35:14  For thus said the Lord, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all the nations, that they may serve the king of Babylon.

Jer 35:15  And Jeremias said to Ananias, The Lord has not sent thee; and thou hast caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.

Jer 35:16  Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I will cast thee off from the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die.

Jer 35:17  So he died in the seventh month.


Is there anyone in the Body of Christ with the intestinal fortitude of Jeremiah? Who do we trust in, the government, the political leaders? Or do we trust in Yahweh Elohim? We should be suspicious of those who encourage us to mix unclean DNA into our physical bodies. While our physical body is not our permanent home, we are responsible for its care. It is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The false prophet caused the people to trust in unrighteousness. Notice Jeremiah’s words again.


Jeremiah (Brenton) Jer 36:29  And Sophonias read the book in the ears of Jeremias.

Jer 36:30  Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,

Jer 36:31  Send to the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Samaeas the Ælamite, Since Samaeas has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he has made you to trust in iniquity,

Jer 36:32  therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will visit Samaeas, and his family: and there shall not be a man of them in the midst of you to see the good which I will do to you: they shall not see it.


Samaeas’ whole family was destroyed in captivity for falsely prophesying. If we remember what was happening, the people were finally concerned that the favor of Yahweh had left and they were going to go into captivity. They weren’t concerned until the first wave of captivity took place. Then when the second wave of captivity happened the people were panicking, trying to make things right with Yahweh. It was too late. The false prophets were giving people false hope. (If you mix your genos you can go back to living a normal life. No wait, if you mix your genos a few more times you can then go back to normal. Wait, you still have to do all the mitigations that we say but then you can go back to almost normal. Never mind this is the new normal.) The third wave came and Judah was held captive for seventy years. There is no quick fix. 


Now there is no doom and gloom here. Jesus gave us the remedies for making things right. We cast out demons, we pray and fast to get certain other genos out. We remove the graft with the logos, the sword of the Spirit, and we invite the Holy Spirit in making ourselves the temple of the Holy Spirit with Jesus Christ in us. We can’t change the past. We can’t change the mistakes we've made because we trusted the wrong people, but we can stop trusting them. There are three ways that our mind can become oscillated, by an evil spirit, by false prophets, and by false teachers. These are entrance points to being thoroughly deceived or wholly seduced. This is a continual process throughout this age.The apostasy happens all the time as well. We can stop what Satanas is doing in the Body of Christ with a few Jeremiah’s rising up. We have to simply step back and think through the things that people tell us. It doesn’t matter who they are or what position they hold, we can listen to the Holy Spirit instead of other humans. Let’s all run to Yahweh.

The Defection; Held Down, Held Back; Pseudo Miracles; Man of Destruction


As we look at Paul explaining the order and timing of future events, we want to keep these ideas in the near context and the far context. Paul is explaining to the Thessalonians that no matter what anyone else has told them, they are not “in” the Day of the Lord and they did not miss the harpazo. The events that Paul has been expounding on are the harpazo, the apocalypse, and the parousia, all concerning Jesus. Paul also mentions that the lawless son of destruction will have his own epiphany, apocalypse, and parousia. This man of sin will be energized by satan and he will produce pseudo-miracles, signs, and wonders. He will sit in the Holy of Holies and not die, and then he will be worshipped as god. The reason that all of this happens is because the people left on the earth at that time did not love the truth. The people on the earth are children of wrath. Paul tells us there is a divorcement from the truth. The harpazo separates those who have life and love the truth, and those who reject the truth. There is also a holding back or restraining of people and events by the Holy Spirit so that things happen in their proper season.

The day of the Lord will not come unless there comes a defection first. Verse 2 of 2 Thessalonians 2 says that the Day of Christ is not present or happening now. What defection is coming? Who is going to defect? There will be a defection from truth and an apocalypse of the man of sin. Let’s cover this defection first.  

2 Thessalonians 2:3G3361Let not G5100any G1473completely deceive you G1818 G2596in G3367not one G5158manner! G3754for it will not be G1437unless G3361 G2064[3should come G35881the G6462defection] G4412first, G2532and G601[4should be uncovered G35881the G4442man G3588 G2663of sin], G3588the G5207son G3588 G684of destruction, 

646LSJ Gloss: ἀποστασία defection

Thayer:
1) a falling away, defection, apostasy

ἀποστασία

This is a really strong sentiment by Paul. There will be a falling away, a divorce, or a revolt. What we see this word apostasia (apostay) expressing is a “defection from the truth”. 1Timothy 4 says that some will be led away by spirits of delusion and instructions of demons. Somehow, there will be a defection from truth, or a forsaking of the truth. Then the man of sin is uncovered, apokaluptō.

There will be a revealing of a man of sin who is also a son of destruction. Let’s look at that closely. Before the Day of the Lord (the day Jesus returns with his armies), there will be a great defection and then a great revealing. People will see the man of sin, the son of perdition. This person is an adversary and will elevate himself above all others. He will be called “god”; someone that people will worship. 

2 Thessalonians 2:4G3588the one G480being an adversary G2532and G5229elevating himself G1909above G3956all G3004being called G2316god G2228or G4574object of worship; G5620so as for G1473him G1519[2in G35883the G34854temple G3588 G23165of God G56136as G23167God G25231to sit], G584exhibiting G1438himself G3754that G1510.2.3he is G2316God.

apodeiknumi ap-od-ike'-noo-mee From G575 and G1166; to show off, that is, exhibit; figuratively to demonstrate, that is, accredit KJV Usage: (ap-) prove, set forth, shew.

This man will sit in the Holy of Holies and not die, and thus people will think that this is proof that he is god. He will reside where the Living God would reside if the Living God was in the temple as in the day of Solomon. Since this man does not die, many people believe him and worship him. Paul told them about this when he was visiting. John gives us more details regarding this man and this time period. Nevertheless there will be someone who is under the power of the satan who will pretend to be god. 

2 Thessalonians 2:5G3756Do you not G3421remember G3754that G2089still G1510.6being G4314with G1473you, G3778[2these things G30041I said] G1473to you?

καιρός 
kairos kahee-ros' Of uncertain affinity; an occasion, that is, set or proper time KJV Usage: X always, opportunity, (convenient, due) season, (due, short, while) time, a while.

Literally: the one constraining knows until the apocalypse in his season. The word “you” does not appear in the text, so the one constraining knows and is holding down these future events until it is the due season for the lawless man of sin to be revealed. We are constrained from the resurrection. The man of sin is constrained from his appearing.

While believers in Christ are on the earth, the man of sin who pretends to be god cannot present himself as god. The Holy Spirit is on the earth now and this poser cannot come into his false power while the Holy Spirit is on the earth. Constrain is an awkward word meaning “to hold back, hold down, or detain”. There is one constraining us and the man of sin, and we know who it is. Why are we detained on the earth? We are waiting for the number of nations to come into the Body of Christ, as Romans tells us. We are also on a time frame in the age of grace, heading toward the tribulation. We are held down until the one holding us down is ready to release us. The one holding us down does so until the revealing of the man of sin in his own season. That same one, the Holy Spirit, holds back the revealing of this person to the world until the harpazo has occurred. 

1 John tells us that “greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world”. That statement being true means that the Holy Spirit within us is greater than what the lawless man of sin has residing within him. Therefore the man of sin, the son of destruction, cannot come to power while the Body of Christ is still residing on the earth. He may be on the earth, but he is not in power, he is not energized by satan. As of today there is no temple for this fake god to sit in. There must be a temple for him to sit in, this is a benchmark in time for us to remember. Greater is the one in me, therefore the lawless one cannot be revealed, and without a temple to sit in, he cannot claim himself to be god.

The mystery of lawlessness is already energized. It is in operation on the earth. But there is one holding it and us back at this moment. The restrainer comes out from the middle. We have to come out from the middle of the unbelievers on earth and rise to heaven. We are harpazo’d from the middle of those who do not love the truth. We have the Holy Spirit within us, we are sealed until the day of redemption. Once we are harpazo’d then the uncovering of the lawless one will be revealed. There is never a time when the Holy Spirit is ripped out of the believers on the earth to leave them helpless and hopeless. There is never a time since Pentecost when the Holy Spirit departs the earth and comes out of the children of the Living God. The Holy Spirit and the redeemed all leave together, harpazo.

ψεῦδος 
pseudos psyoo'-dos From G5574; a falsehood KJV Usage: lie, lying.

When the lawless man of sin, the son of destruction, sits in the Holy of Holies, he will use pseudo-miracles, signs, and wonders. This is going to be a grand epiphany and a spectacular event. He has to make people believe in him as god. He is energized by the satan, but who is left on the earth at that time? The people who rejected Jesus. It will be easy for people to believe this pseudo miracle worker because his power comes from the satan. 

No one on the earth will be able to deny that he didn’t die when he sat, and continues to sit, in the temple. The Jews will realize that they made a mistake. This brings up an important point. Just because someone builds a temple in Jerusalem, does not guarantee that the Holy Spirit will inhabit it. If we remember, the Spirit of the Living God, came into the temple at the time of Solomon and then left the temple at the time of Ezekiel in a most spectacular way. The point is, no matter the location, or the structure, or the sacrifices, the Spirit of the Living God is not obligated to man’s desires. Daniel tells us that this man will stop the daily sacrifices. This tells us that this man of lawlessness will announce that he absolves the people of their sins, and there is no more need for sacrifices for atonement. And since he sits in the Holy of Holies, many will believe his lies.

With pseudo miracles, signs, and wonders, and every fraud of injustice, the man of sin tricks the ones destined for destruction. People can choose not to be fully destroyed by believing that Jesus is Lord. But there is a time limit. Once the children of the Living God leave the earth, the only way for anyone to be saved it to lose their lives as martyrs for Jesus. The second half of this verse tells us why it happened.

They did not receive the love of the truth for deliverance. They did not love the truth, they rejected the truth. The only people left on the earth are the children of wrath. Paul is explaining this to give them/us something to look for. If we see a temple built in Jerusalem, and we see daily sacrifices made, and we then see some person sit in the temple, in the Holy of Holies, and this person does signs, miracles, and wonders, then we know that the Day of the Lord will be coming very soon, within seven years or less.

Because these people do not love the truth they are sent an energized deception to trust this pseudo. This energized error can infiltrate the minds’ of people so that they believe the deceptions of this lawless man who wants to be worshipped as a god. He will look like a savior, he will claim to absolve people of sins, and he will perform false miracles. He will be revealed with a big show, maybe his exploits will be on all the news stations. He will claim the kingdom of god has come to earth. 

While all these things are taking place with this lawless man of sin, there will be two witnesses on the earth, there will be disasters, disease, and destruction, as the seals are opened. There will be wars and signs in the heavens. The trumpets will reveal the wrath of the Lamb. The satan will be thrown out of heaven and Jesus will be coronated King and Lord. The bowls will be poured out and then the Day of the Lord will arrive. 


Divorce from the truth has been a problem all through history. Humans always have a choice to make. These bad times are not bestowed upon the children of the Living God, but only the children of wrath. Until the harpazo comes to pass we are held down on the earth and the son of destruction is held back from his epiphany and his parousia. The Holy Spirit restrains the tribulation by being on the earth, just like the Holy Spirit restrained the captivity of Judah until the Holy Spirit left the temple. There will be a temple built and sacrifices made daily before the lawless ones’ apocalypse. It is an interesting point to note that the fake pseudo god comes first with an epiphany, an apocalypse, and a parousia. Yet the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, will also come with an epiphany, an apocalypse, and a parousia, to the destruction of the false messiah who is energized by the satan. Paul has been trying to explain that the Thessalonians are not living in the time of the Day of the Lord. He explains the harpazo, the parousia, and apocalypse, along with the holding back of the tribulation events and the son of destruction, the man of sin. Today we may see people revolt from the truth, but that is not the only sign we are looking for. We will finish Paul’s letter next week.
