2Thessalonians 1:2 Grace unto you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Emmanuel.Christ.

2Thessalonians 1:3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith grows exceedingly and the charity of every one of you all toward each other abounds.

2Thessalonians 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure.

2Thessalonians 1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

They were agonizing over the trials they were presently going through.

2Thessalonians 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you.

2Thessalonians 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation.(original 'pressure so as to wear one away').to them that trouble.(original 'to press hard upon so as to wear one out').you.

In other words 'tit for tat': Hebrews 10:30..God knows how to deal with those who are troubling you.

2Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Emmanuel shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

2Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Emmanuel.(comes from the root word in the Old Testament, meaning 'the existing One saves, rescues', rescues us from our egos which have drowned out high consciousness things coming from our souls).shall be.(words 'shall' and 'be' not in original).revealed from heaven.(the word 'heaven' is a word used so humans could comprehend this higher realm of existence as being not from the realm they live in, but rather, the invisible realm; *).with his mighty angels,.(it helps here to know that when it talks of His coming it's about the spirit in us {*} and also a coming to Earth, these higher consciousness frequencies {all is frequencies and vibration out of the stillness}, so the verse could be worded.'And to those of you having a hard time, hang in there, that is, hang in with the higher consciouness that Emmanuel.{the word Emmanuel}.came to reveal)

2Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire.('flaming fire', a time for purity; a time for getting rid of fleshly problems that have kept some people in evil).taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey.(original denotes.'refuse to hear {*} and therefor do not care to apply').not the gospel of our Lord Emmanuel the Christ..(?).(?)

2Thessalonians 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power.

One needs to be in the presence of the Lord in order to have the power that can come into him; the 'glory of his power' means God's way of thinking and being, that is, how God is.

2Thessalonians 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints.(*).and to be admired in all them that believe, because our testimony among you was believed, in that day.

2Thessalonians 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work of faith with power.

2Thessalonians 1:12 That the name of our Lord Emmanuel the Christ may be glorified in you and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Emmanuel the Christ.

2Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech.(request with importance).you, brethren, by.(of, regarding).the coming of our Lord Emmanuel the Christ and by our gathering together unto.(original could just as easily be 'in'; all one body).him,

2Thessalonians 2:2 That you be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Someone or more probably some group was out to dissuade the people of the Creator from the reality of the occurrence of the coming of Christ in 70 A.D.

2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means. For that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first.and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive.(original for 'deceive' is 'to cheat you away from' or 'cheat you out of').you by any means. For that day shall not come.("shall not come".Deuteronomy 23:5), except there come a falling away.(a falling away is a forsaking; as happened to Adam can happen to us also if we're not on the qui vive); how to ensure that it doesn't happen to you).first.and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.

Before the day star can arise in your heart, one has to begin to fall away from the low consciousness ego level by examining his dark side, which examination is simply giving some attention on it, which attention shines the light on it and light dissipates darkness. What are the things in each of our dark sides that we need to move away from, the things allowing the dark side to affect us?

The son of perdition is the son of hell and who may this be? Could it be the unenlightened us that make our lives a living hell by remaining in low consciousness? As.Barnes Notes.explains: Like in other passages in the Bible, this doesn't refer just to one man, but rather successions of men with similar attitudes of evil. The other passages are such as:.Daniel 7:25; 11:36. The beast, as mentioned in Daniel chapters 7, 8 and Revelation 13.

The same is true of the "woman arrayed in purple and scarlet" (Revelation 17:4,18) an emblem of a continued corrupt administration.

2Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is a god.

2Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he as God.(humanity always wants to control his own life in the way he alone sees fit to, but man doesn't realize this}; it's talking of an attitude, selfwilled, proud, feeling able to fully direct one's own course in life; this is life at the ego level).sits in the temple of God.(1Corinthians 3:16), showing himself.(or, showing to himself).that he is a god.(or, like the true God, that is, equal to the true God, that he has power, but he is not even close to being as the real true God is. His power is one out of darkness and only allowed to exist because of the real God's plan of salvation for all).

Like Adam who was not deceived, but made a conscious decision to break from God in order to be a god unto himself, to be in control of a 'world' he imagined it to be, that is, after his ways, his ways of ordinary consciousness, which is a low consciousness. Adam desired to self-direct his life even after he knew that God's guidance was better. Throughout history people have been much like Adam:.Jeremiah 44:16,17. 

We too have been duped.(Revelation 12:9) by the greatest tricker of all time, duped into seeking what's best for the SELF, rather than seeking God and let Him take care of your 'self' by showing you how to use the spiritual capabilities that you have. What would these be?

Doing what's best for all humanity in daily life is a lot better than doing what in some way, harms you and others. 

Man today seeks a world for himself wherein he is the final authority over it in the things he sees affecting him. And that's good! He should want to be like this. Thus we see the power of positive thinking.

But man, being off the track of higher consciousness, attempts to dominate all that concerns him, to subjugate others and even nature (pollution everywhere, irresponsibility everywhere) to his greed infested will.

Adam walked with God, for awhile, then he decided to begin to walk as a god. He was deceived into an independent sense of self-importance. The slide downward had begun and Adam was the one who passed his attitude onto humanity (Romans 5:12) and so we have a life and societies built upon the error of Adam. Eve, the mother of all women, has 'been with' all women since and all women since Eve have lived in this world of Adam. But that's all so we learn to be better and get a reward for our efforts.

2Thessalonians 2:5,6 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?...And now you know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time.

2Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity does already work. Only he who now lets will let.(*), until he be taken out of the way.

Original for words 'he who now lets will let until he be taken out of the way' is 'now it holds fast until it's out of the way'.

2Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the God shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.

2Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked.(original for 'Wicked' is lawless ones {without what law?.Galatians 6:2} and who?.Isaiah 13:5).be revealed.(it has to be revealed clearly because people have been duped since the beginning of them on the Earth:.Revelaton 12:9), whom God shall consume with the spirit of his mouth.(Isaiah 11:4; Revelation 1:16; 19:21; the words out of his mouth are words of higher consciousness, which are the things of spirit, will cause.conviction in the hearts of those earlier avoiding them, that is, the ways that they had before been living their lives, which are those negative ending principles they really simply accepted without much thinking and so those things caused hurt to themselves and to others, the things like war, hate, selfishness, greed, etc:.Proverbs 6:12-15).and shall destroy with the brightness.(original for 'brightness' is simply 'appearing' and is from the Greek word 'epiphany' that is, Christ's appearing {2Peter 1:19} in the hearts {*} of people leads to destruction of the ways of evil they had previously been thinking and living in their lives, where now they can start on a better road; note that it's the spirit of his mouth and the brightness of His coming that destroys evil, the spirit being the words which when believed, bring the brightness of His coming and so one looks forward to Christ's actual presence on Earth).of his coming.(*).

"brightness".is the light that comes once one is in God:.1Timothy 6:16; John 14:26.

This force for evil that influences the mass mind consciousness, that we all have contributed to, is rendered ineffective once one is of higher consciousness. That's what it's all about, becoming of higher consciousness. Being of high consciousness is having the consciousness of Creator-God in us.

2Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

2Thessalonians 2:9 Even him.(words 'even him' are not in original, but implied), whose.(original for word 'whose' is 'which').coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

Satan's power and lying wonders, such as say, black magic (Isaiah 8:19), are only effective against those of the same ilk. That's how Satan and his shysters keep such people in line. They cannot affect those of the one true God who have the spirit of His Son in them.

The coming of evil into the world comes from the dark side influenced collective consciousness of humanity.

2Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.(deceived into living in unrighteousness, a harmful way to self and to others).in them that perish.(those on the perishing road {*}).because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved.

God has given all of us the love of the truth. The way to then get it is to thank God for it, as that's what makes it come into our physical world from the invisible realm of God. You don't ask God for something already made available for you. You simply claim it by thanking God for it. Then it'll be real to people that they are already saved.(2Timothy 1:9) because how else would you know you have been saved unless you wanted to be? The original word for words 'save', 'saved' is 'sozo' and means to be joyfully living in a state where all things are good and rich for you and yours:.2Corinthians 1:20.

Doesn't say they didn't receive the truth. Satanists know the truth, but disdain it.

Note also, the satanic ones deceive.(Revelation 12:9).in order to get a hold of minds. In life you live by what's in your mind. If you don't want something, you then wouldn't go get it. To get something personally appealing requires knowing you want it. This is just commonsense:.2Corinthians 11:14,15. 

Things unrighteous things as brainwashing, bribery, blackmail play their part in taking one down the road of death, filled with lies all along the way:.2Corinthians 11:13. That's the satanic way.

Original for word 'saved' in the verse here is 'sozo' and means 'made whole', that is, able to have a great life and implies being awakened to what a great life is. Everyone of humanity was already saved before they became physical:.2Timothy 1:9? We are here to learn what we don't know that would bring us up higher in character. At what might that be? One won't rise up in good character until he or she starts doing good.

We are to awaken to the state that we already are 'saved' and learn the next step, that of 'what now' and that 'what now' is to become whole, which means to grow in grace and knowledge:.2Peter 3:18.

We were saved before the multiiverse was created (2Timothy 1:9), but it's the same as not being saved if one is oblivious to that fact; word 'saved' here in the original. One's ego nature keeps him in a state of separation from higher consciousness ways; but wasn't it Emmanuel's death and resurrection that saves us?

2Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.

Paraphrased, 'God will send upon them a guiling swayer (the dark side) so that they'll accept falsehoods' (Psalms 119:69-72) such as these affecting us today. Not that God specifically sends this, but it's an automatic thing resulting from one's actions, because the multiversal law of 'you reap what you sow' is always working and comes back on man someday, someway. God has to show man that man's ways are not producing the good man wants:.Proverbs 14:12.

And where do lies comes from:.John 8:44. One who lies to you doesn't like you, doesn't respect you, is out to use you and take advantage of you and would prefer that you weren't even here.

2Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

2Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

One on the unrighteous road will be off track for finding the truth. What is truth? The original has it and with explanations,.'those who (are not careful with information end up believing lies, their own lies {verses 10, 11 above} and those lies pumped into them because they are not on the royal road of good for themselves and others) believe lies.(verse 11, that is, believe lies to the point of living them to the hurt of themselves {*} and others, sometime, someway, somehow the hurts come back amplified, that is, producing a greater effect than the original act) have separated themselves to live the way of unrighteousness.

The way of righteousness is the way their ego dictates, which is the way of me first, the way of not realizing we are all one and all in the same multiiversal invisible energy.

2Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved.(dearly {of great value} loved).of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation.(?).through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

2Thessalonians 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Emmanuel the Christ.

2Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word or our epistle.

2Thessalonians 2:16 Now Emmanuel the Christ himself and God, who is our Father too, which has loved us and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace.

Acts 20:32.

2Thessalonians 2:17 God will comfort your hearts and stablish you in every good word and work.

How to be stable:.Matthew 24:12 notes.

2Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified, even as it is with you.

2Thessalonians 3:2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men. For all men have not faith.

2Thessalonians 3:3 But God is faithful, who shall stablish you and keep you from evil.

1John 1:9.

2Thessalonians 3:5 And it's God directing your hearts into the love of God and into the patient waiting.for Christ.

2Thessalonians 3:5 And it's God directing your hearts.(guidance from God).into the love of God and into the patient.waiting.for.(words 'waiting' and 'for' not in original; means, into the patience of Christ, which is one of the higher consciousness qualities of the Father-Creator that Emmanuel came to Earth to reveal).Christ.

Hebrews 8:10.

2Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Emmanuel the Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly and not after the tradition which he received of us.

2Thessalonians 3:7 For yourselves know how you ought to follow us. For we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you.

2Thessalonians 3:8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought, but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you.

Paul worked so not as to burden others by asking them to support what he was doing:.1Corinthians 9:18.

2Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

Talking here about not being lazy and uninterested in life; a lazy bum; not say, a busy retired person or person who can't work for whatever reason. Work means engaged in something gainful in importance, that is, both you and others can gain something from your efforts. It doesn't just mean earning money.

2Thessalonians 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

2Thessalonians 3:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Emmanuel Christ, that with quietness they work and eat their own bread.

2Thessalonians 3:13  But you brethren, be not weary in well doing.

2Thessalonians 3:14,15 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.(original means 'to note it in himself toward changing'). Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

2Thessalonians 3:16 Now the God of peace himself give you peace always by all means. God is with you all.

Romans 12:18 "If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men."

2Thessalonians 3:17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle, so I write.

Though Paul didn't write down every letter he dictatedto his scribe, he did sign each one of them.

2Thessalonians 3:18 The grace of our God and Emmanuel the Christ be with you all. Amen.

The second epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens, Greece.
