Why are people afraid of the Truth?

Actually, they're not. They just don't care.

People are excited by hype, and because they set their mind on that hype, and because they are in a group of like minded believers in hype, they can't see what is right in front of them. They don’t take what is serious as important. It's unsettling, but that is how most people form their deepest beliefs. A group leader states a belief and the group conforms to that belief, whether or not there is any evidence or context to support that belief other than a single sentence or verse that triggers the idea. The individuals of the group then reinforce that belief as though the belief is fact, even though they have not ascertained for themselves whether there is evidence to support the belief. If you sit at a campfire and look at the pretty colors of the flames, would you stick your hand in the fire? No, you wouldn't. You believe the fire. You know the TRUTH. It would hurt beyond comprehension. Yet, many profess that JESUS is their whole reason for everything, but they know very little about what JESUS is telling them. They don't know HIM and HE doesn't know them. HE even says that HE will tell them that HE never knew them and that they have to depart from HIM.

This post uses the false rapture doctrine as an example, but the TRUTH of the matter is, that most people don't know the very WORD they profess to be true.

They may end up in the Millennium for one thousand years of Iron Rod discipline and then still there is a chance they won't make it into eternal life. If they don’t overcome the devil by the end of the Millennium, they will be cast into the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Unless you, the reader of this document are one of GOD'S election, you likely won't see what the Scriptures in this document mean. You don't have eyes to see or ears to hear. You probably don't even realize that JESUS said that you won't understand unless you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

I write strongly because I'm hoping that it will jolt you into being scared and knowing that if you believe the campfire will hurt you when you stick your hand in the fire, you had also better realize that the TRUE FIRE that will burn you up is the very FIRE you profess to be TRUE but actually know little about. THE CONSUMING FIRE may burn you up if you don't care about learning the TRUTH. So, read on, and hopefully it will be GOD'S will that you don't be damned because you have no love for the TRUTH, by giving you a love for the TRUTH. I also firmly believe that if you come to a love of the TRUTH, that it was likely already determined that it will be that way. I’m happy if this document is the trigger that results in awakening your love of the TRUTH.

A trump is short for trumpet. It is a call to action in the same way as is used in the military; for example revelee, or the call to charge. There are seven trumps to the end of this age, and the last trump which is the seventh trump is the trump at which time JESUS returns. It is known as The Trump Of GOD.

Revelation 8:2  And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

Revelation 8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Revelation 8:4  And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

Revelation 8:5  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Revelation 8:6  And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

As you can see, we need to understand what it is that we read. We need to know the language of the material in the sense of what symbol is being referenced and how does it pertain to the subject at hand.

The Trump Of GOD is the only trump of the seven trumps that has to do with GOD. It's the trump at which JESUS returns:

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

The Seventh Trump is the farthest trump out and is also called the last trump:

1 Corinthians 15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1 Corinthians 15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

1 Corinthians 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Corinthians 15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Many false teachers take verses out of context to suit what hype or deception they wish to perpetrate. They have their agenda whether it is perpetrated only by the teacher or by a structure of deceivers well knit within a large community. GOD’S WORD is provided. It is up to the individual to have a love for the TRUTH that is well ingrained in his personality or spirit so that he won’t accept what is placed before him, but will demand the accuracy and use due diligence in seeking what GOD’S WORD, HIS letter to us, actually says.

False teachers often use the following Scriptures out of context, and or supply a false meaning to the Scriptures, or even leave out an important part of the true meaning in order to perpetrate their false doctrine of the rapture. Whether or not what they teach is done purposely or in ignorance, what they present to you is a lie. By knowing the true meaning of these Scriptures, you may be able to bring the deceiver to the TRUTH. What is most important however, is you will not be taken in by their hype perpetrated false doctrine.

Rapture believers use the words “caught up” in 1st Thessalonians 4:17 to say that there is a rapture. They also infer that this rapture is before JESUS makes HIS second coming. They believe that the word “air” in the same verse means the sky. When you look at the true context and meaning of the verse, you will notice that the verse just prior says that this does not happen until the Trump Of GOD. The words “caught up” mean to be seized by force, and the word “air” does not mean sky. It means breath of life spirit. The true context is that at the seventh trump, we are seized by force to meet the LORD in our spirit bodies as written in 1st Corinthians chapter fifteen. Paul wrote Thessalonians and is likely using the word “cloud” to mean crowd, in the same way as he did in Hebrews 12:1. You can verify these definitions with the Authorized King James Bible and a Strong’s Concordance.

1st Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1st Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up G726 together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: G109 and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

G726
ἁρπάζω
harpazō
har-pad'-zo
From a derivative of G138; to seize (in various applications): - catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).

G109
ἀήρ
aēr
ah-ayr'
From ἄημι aēmi (to breathe unconsciously, that is, respire; by analogy to blow); “air” (as naturally circumambient): - air. Compare G5594.

Hebrews 12:1  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Verse 1st Thessalonians 4:16 says that when JESUS returns, it is at the Trump Of GOD. That is the last trump, the seventh trump, the farthest trump out. It's the trump at which verse 1st Thessalonians 4:17 happens. That means there cannot be a rapture because the seventh trump is the last trump and is the trump at which JESUS returns and this flesh age is over.

Rapture believers use Revelation 3:10 to say there is a rapture, and they base this on the statement that JESUS made to the church of Philadelphia that because they have kept the word of HIS patience, that HE will keep them from the hour of temptation. They do not bother to understand what the verse means and they ignore the verses following that statement.

Revelation 3:7  And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

[
Note:
Philadelphia means brotherly love. The key of David is the knowledge of WHO the TRUE CHRIST is. HE that openeth, and no man shutteth is JESUS and what HE opens is the TRUTH. So, HE can give eyes to see and ears to hear, and HE can blind someone also.

Luke 8:10  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
]

Revelation 3:8  I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

[
Note:
JESUS knows this church’s works: faith without works is dead. The open door that JESUS has set before them is the door to TRUTH and once you know TRUTH, no man can take that from you. This church has studied the WORD and not denied the name of JESUS (they have not fallen away to satan).
]

Revelation 3:9  Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

[
Note:
This church and the church of Smyrna are the only two churches of the seven end time churches that JESUS is happy about. Both churches teach the same thing. They teach who the imposter Jews are. You know them. They own most things in the world today. They own the banks, the media, and have infiltrated governments. They use the four hidden dynasties to prepare the world for the coming of their father the devil, which will appear as antichrist. In the Millennium, they will worship at our feet. That does not mean we are anything special or better than anyone else. It simply means they will want to learn as much as they can about JESUS. I would think their reasoning is that they will try to save their hides, but that is just my opinion. Those who know this information are less likely to worship satan due to thinking he is JESUS.
]

Revelation 3:10  Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

[
Note:
Because this church has not forsaken the WORD and has not given in to satan’s temptations, and they wait upon the LORD, then JESUS will keep this church from the hour of temptation. This means they have eyes to see and ears to hear. They can’t be tempted by satan if they know that it is satan. Who would worship satan if they know that it is satan? By knowing the TRUTH, satan cannot deceive this church into worshiping him. No matter what he tempts them with, they will not give in. They will remain patient and wait upon the LORD.
]

Revelation 3:11  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

[
Note:
If this church were raptured out, then why would they have to hold on to their crown of Life? But they will not let any man deceive or talk them out of it. They know the TRUTH, and to know the TRUTH makes you smarter than that.
]

Revelation 3:12  Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

[
Note:
The rapture deceivers used verse Revelation 3:10 as saying it is a rapture. If that were the case, then what is there to overcome? After all, they are saying at this point that they are already with JESUS. If that were the case, what is there to overcome? The TRUTH is that it’s the hour of temptation and everyone will be here. What is the hour of temptation about? It’s about temptation. The devil will tempt you to get you to worship him. But he will fail with this church because this church knows the TRUTH. Because others don’t have a love for the TRUTH, they will be deceived. The first warning that JESUS gave is to take heed that you don’t be deceived. Well, rapture teachers are trying to deceive you. Their false doctrine can cause you to believe that satan is JESUS when he shows up as antichrist. This can result in you falling away to satan if you fall for their false doctrine.
]

Revelation 3:13  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

[
Note:
Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear? If you have a love for the TRUTH, then it is possible that you do.
]

Rapture teachers and believers use this verse (Revelation 4:1) to say that the church is called up to Heaven in a rapture.

Those who teach this are either in a stupor or are of the darkest evil that want to destroy souls. It’s John who looked, it’s John who beheld the door opened in Heaven, it’s John who heard the voice, and it was John who was called up to Heaven to see the things which must be hereafter.

The church is not mentioned and what logic would there be for the church to come up to Heaven and see the things hereafter. Those who teach this as the church being called up are seriously dark and those who believe those that teach it are not having a love for the TRUTH. More likely, they are having a love for hype. What was John told that he would be doing in the first place? The answer is: (Revelation 1:19  Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;)

Revelation 4:1  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Rapture teachers use the verses regarding the marriage supper of the LAMB to say that JESUS comes back for his bride and takes HIS bride off to Heaven for the marriage supper and then returns at the seventh trump. Considering that they can use these verses to frame an elaborate deception, it makes me wonder how much evil is involved in their deception. Well, even if you cannot fathom how to use a GPS, you can understand the words “after this” and “after this”. So, look at these verses and try to focus long enough to at least grasp A, B, C, and 1, 2, 3. You can go back to your dumbing down “Friends” episode after you get just a little discipline that somehow might creep into you and allow a seed of TRUTH to be planted.

Revelation 18:1  And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

[
Note:
“And after these things”: After what things? After the description of the whore in Revelation chapter seventeen.
]

Revelation 18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

[
Note:
Now, the key thing to notice here is that Babylon the great is fallen. If you read the entire chapter, it gives a thorough description of that fall and also shows that it fell in one hour. That hour that it has fallen in is the hour of temptation. And what is key about these verses? It’s that the marriage supper of the LAMB has not happened yet, even though the hour of temptation is over. This means that it could not be possible for a rapture to take place before the hour of temptation.
]

Revelation 19:1  And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

[
Note:
“And after these things”: After what things? After the fall of Babylon the great. After the hour of temptation. After the angel made the announcement in chapter eighteen that Babylon had fallen. Make a mental note to study how Babylon the great comes to its end, or watch the video: “The End Time Temple Of The LORD”.
]

Revelation 19:2  For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

[
Note:
“Hath judged”: Past tense. The great whore has already been taken down.
]

Revelation 19:3  And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

Revelation 19:4  And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

Revelation 19:5  And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

Revelation 19:6  And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Revelation 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Revelation 19:8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Revelation 19:9  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

[
Note:
And after the fall of Babylon and the judgement of the great white whore, which ends the hour of temptation, which is the great tribulation, also known as Jacob’s trouble, then comes the marriage supper of the LAMB as written in verses, Revelation 19: 7 through 9.
]

To finalize this post, the following is a description of verses that rapture teachers (and believers) like to ignore. If someone tries to explain or even mention these verses to a rapture teacher or believer, they will throw up one of those verses in the previously mentioned topics and call it a rapture. They have no intention of discussing something that is a firm condemnation of their false doctrine. What I find interesting is that these verses say straight out that for those who don’t care about this TRUTH, that GOD HIMSELF will send them a strong delusion to believe satan’s lie that he is GOD. And GOD is saying the reason HE is doing so is so that they might be damned. That means be sent to hell. Yet a rapture believer is stupid enough not to want to look at it. I mean seriously, they could go to hell. How stupid is that?

2 Thessalonians 2:1  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

[
Note:
Paul is saying that he wants to speak to the brethren (these are good people and are brothers in CHRIST) about when JESUS will return and we gather back to HIM.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:2  That ye 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.

[
Note:
That you don’t waver in your intelligence, or be troubled, neither by the spirit that is in the air (such as hype or the group thought) or any spirits, nor by what is said, nor by letter as from us (Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, which was 1st Thessalonians), as to whether JESUS could return at any time.
]

2 Thessalonians 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;

[
Note:
Don’t let anyone deceive you by any means because CHRIST will not come until after there is a defection (apostasy) from GOD’S TRUTH, and the devil is revealed, the only named son of GOD that is already sentenced to die. The reason this is of extreme importance is that if people do not know that satan comes first before JESUS returns, then they will instantly apply everything they have ever known about JESUS to satan. They will worship satan as CHRIST when satan does his miracles to deceive man into thinking he is CHRIST.

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Revelation 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Revelation 13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Revelation 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

The devil’s death sentence is given in Ezekiel 28:18, and is to be turned to ashes from the inside out in front of all who see him.

Ezekiel 28:18  Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

[
Note:
Who opposes and sets himself above GOD and sits in GOD’S Temple claiming to be GOD.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

[
Note:
Paul had already explained these things to the Thessalonians, but somehow word got around and people started getting confused. It was likely caused by Paul’s first letter, and 1st Thessalonians 4:17 in particular. The Thessalonians should have paid attention to “The Trump Of GOD” in 1st Thessalonians 4:16, but the main purpose for those verses in 1st Thessalonians chapter four was to explain about the dead in CHRIST and where they are located. We that are still alive in the flesh cannot prevent (or precede) those that have already died because they are with CHRIST already.

2 Corinthians 5:8  We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2 Thessalonians 2:7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

[
Note:
It is Michael the archangel who holds satan in prison. Michael and his angels will fight with the devil and his angels and the devil will be cast to earth for the hour of temptation. After that hour, Michael will chain the devil in the pit until the thousand years are up, then the devil will be loosed for a short season to test the people.

Revelation 12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Revelation 12:8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Revelation 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Revelation 12:12  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 20:1  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

Revelation 20:2  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Revelation 20:3  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

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

[
Note:
“that Wicked” is the lawless one, the man of sin; also known as the son of perdition whose name is the devil and satan. The LORD will bring him to nothing with the sharp twoedged Sword that proceeds out of HIS mouth (TRUTH):

Revelation 1:9  I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 1:10  I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Revelation 1:11  Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Revelation 1:12  And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

Revelation 1:13  And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

Revelation 1:14  His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

Revelation 1:15  And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Revelation 1:16  And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

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

[
Note:
I will write the explanation of verse 2:9 as I’ve previously understood it first, but as I was preparing this post, another possibility occured to me. I’ll write the other possibility next, but keep in mind that the second possibility may be wrong. The reader should make up his own mind as to which explanation makes best sense.

First possibility:

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

2 Thessalonians 2:9  Even him, whose coming is after G2596 the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

G2596
κατά

A primary particle; (preposition) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [genitive, dative or accusative] with which it is joined): - about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to, touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, [charita-] bly, concerning, + covered, [dai-] ly, down, every, (+ far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from . . . to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), . . . by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where (-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution or intensity.

“Even him, whose coming” would be the devil performing wickedness after (pertaining to)  the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

In this case, the word “after” would be attributed to accusations regarding the wickedness that satan performs.

Second possibility:

2 Thessalonians 2:8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: G3952

G3952

2 Thessalonians 2:9  Even him, whose coming G3952 is after G2596 the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

G2596

A primary particle; (preposition) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [genitive, dative or accusative] with which it is joined): - about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to, touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, [charita-] bly, concerning, + covered, [dai-] ly, down, every, (+ far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from . . . to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), . . . by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where (-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution or intensity.

“Even him, whose coming” is after (in time)  the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

In this case, the word “after” would be attributed to after (in time) to the wickedness that satan performs. In other words, it would mean that JESUS returns after satan performs his wickedness.

I’m not sure which of these two explanations is correct. I tend to lean towards the first explanation, but since the second explanation occurred to me suddenly while I was preparing the post, I have to at least evaluate its possibility. If anyone who knows definitely which explanation is the correct explanation and can prove it definitely, I would appreciate if you could explain it to me and teach me how you came to the conclusion.

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

Note:
The reason that GOD is sending them a strong delusion to believe satan’s lie that satan is GOD is so they might be damned because they don’t care about TRUTH. They would rather participate in satan’s deception and take part in his injustice. They would rather worship satan as their savior than accept or receive GOD’S TRUTH.
]

Why are people afraid of the Truth?

Actually, they're not. They just don't care.

People are excited by hype, and because they set their mind on that hype, and because they are in a group of like minded believers in hype, they can't see what is right in front of them. They don’t take what is serious as important. It's unsettling, but that is how most people form their deepest beliefs. A group leader states a belief and the group conforms to that belief, whether or not there is any evidence or context to support that belief other than a single sentence or verse that triggers the idea. The individuals of the group then reinforce that belief as though the belief is fact, even though they have not ascertained for themselves whether there is evidence to support the belief. If you sit at a campfire and look at the pretty colors of the flames, would you stick your hand in the fire? No, you wouldn't. You believe the fire. You know the TRUTH. It would hurt beyond comprehension. Yet, many profess that JESUS is their whole reason for everything, but they know very little about what JESUS is telling them. They don't know HIM and HE doesn't know them. HE even says that HE will tell them that HE never knew them and that they have to depart from HIM.

This post uses the false rapture doctrine as an example, but the TRUTH of the matter is, that most people don't know the very WORD they profess to be true.

They may end up in the Millennium for one thousand years of Iron Rod discipline and then still there is a chance they won't make it into eternal life. If they don’t overcome the devil by the end of the Millennium, they will be cast into the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Unless you, the reader of this document are one of GOD'S election, you likely won't see what the Scriptures in this document mean. You don't have eyes to see or ears to hear. You probably don't even realize that JESUS said that you won't understand unless you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

I write strongly because I'm hoping that it will jolt you into being scared and knowing that if you believe the campfire will hurt you when you stick your hand in the fire, you had also better realize that the TRUE FIRE that will burn you up is the very FIRE you profess to be TRUE but actually know little about. THE CONSUMING FIRE may burn you up if you don't care about learning the TRUTH. So, read on, and hopefully it will be GOD'S will that you don't be damned because you have no love for the TRUTH, by giving you a love for the TRUTH. I also firmly believe that if you come to a love of the TRUTH, that it was likely already determined that it will be that way. I’m happy if this document is the trigger that results in awakening your love of the TRUTH.

A trump is short for trumpet. It is a call to action in the same way as is used in the military; for example revelee, or the call to charge. There are seven trumps to the end of this age, and the last trump which is the seventh trump is the trump at which time JESUS returns. It is known as The Trump Of GOD.

Revelation 8:2  And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

Revelation 8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Revelation 8:4  And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

Revelation 8:5  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Revelation 8:6  And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

As you can see, we need to understand what it is that we read. We need to know the language of the material in the sense of what symbol is being referenced and how does it pertain to the subject at hand.

The Trump Of GOD is the only trump of the seven trumps that has to do with GOD. It's the trump at which JESUS returns:

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

The Seventh Trump is the farthest trump out and is also called the last trump:

1 Corinthians 15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1 Corinthians 15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

1 Corinthians 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Corinthians 15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Many false teachers take verses out of context to suit what hype or deception they wish to perpetrate. They have their agenda whether it is perpetrated only by the teacher or by a structure of deceivers well knit within a large community. GOD’S WORD is provided. It is up to the individual to have a love for the TRUTH that is well ingrained in his personality or spirit so that he won’t accept what is placed before him, but will demand the accuracy and use due diligence in seeking what GOD’S WORD, HIS letter to us, actually says.

False teachers often use the following Scriptures out of context, and or supply a false meaning to the Scriptures, or even leave out an important part of the true meaning in order to perpetrate their false doctrine of the rapture. Whether or not what they teach is done purposely or in ignorance, what they present to you is a lie. By knowing the true meaning of these Scriptures, you may be able to bring the deceiver to the TRUTH. What is most important however, is you will not be taken in by their hype perpetrated false doctrine.

Rapture believers use the words “caught up” in 1st Thessalonians 4:17 to say that there is a rapture. They also infer that this rapture is before JESUS makes HIS second coming. They believe that the word “air” in the same verse means the sky. When you look at the true context and meaning of the verse, you will notice that the verse just prior says that this does not happen until the Trump Of GOD. The words “caught up” mean to be seized by force, and the word “air” does not mean sky. It means breath of life spirit. The true context is that at the seventh trump, we are seized by force to meet the LORD in our spirit bodies as written in 1st Corinthians chapter fifteen. Paul wrote Thessalonians and is likely using the word “cloud” to mean crowd, in the same way as he did in Hebrews 12:1. You can verify these definitions with the Authorized King James Bible and a Strong’s Concordance.

1st Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1st Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up G726 together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: G109 and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

G726
ἁρπάζω
harpazō
har-pad'-zo
From a derivative of G138; to seize (in various applications): - catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).

G109
ἀήρ
aēr
ah-ayr'
From ἄημι aēmi (to breathe unconsciously, that is, respire; by analogy to blow); “air” (as naturally circumambient): - air. Compare G5594.

Hebrews 12:1  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Verse 1st Thessalonians 4:16 says that when JESUS returns, it is at the Trump Of GOD. That is the last trump, the seventh trump, the farthest trump out. It's the trump at which verse 1st Thessalonians 4:17 happens. That means there cannot be a rapture because the seventh trump is the last trump and is the trump at which JESUS returns and this flesh age is over.

Rapture believers use Revelation 3:10 to say there is a rapture, and they base this on the statement that JESUS made to the church of Philadelphia that because they have kept the word of HIS patience, that HE will keep them from the hour of temptation. They do not bother to understand what the verse means and they ignore the verses following that statement.

Revelation 3:7  And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

[
Note:
Philadelphia means brotherly love. The key of David is the knowledge of WHO the TRUE CHRIST is. HE that openeth, and no man shutteth is JESUS and what HE opens is the TRUTH. So, HE can give eyes to see and ears to hear, and HE can blind someone also.

Luke 8:10  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
]

Revelation 3:8  I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

[
Note:
JESUS knows this church’s works: faith without works is dead. The open door that JESUS has set before them is the door to TRUTH and once you know TRUTH, no man can take that from you. This church has studied the WORD and not denied the name of JESUS (they have not fallen away to satan).
]

Revelation 3:9  Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

[
Note:
This church and the church of Smyrna are the only two churches of the seven end time churches that JESUS is happy about. Both churches teach the same thing. They teach who the imposter Jews are. You know them. They own most things in the world today. They own the banks, the media, and have infiltrated governments. They use the four hidden dynasties to prepare the world for the coming of their father the devil, which will appear as antichrist. In the Millennium, they will worship at our feet. That does not mean we are anything special or better than anyone else. It simply means they will want to learn as much as they can about JESUS. I would think their reasoning is that they will try to save their hides, but that is just my opinion. Those who know this information are less likely to worship satan due to thinking he is JESUS.
]

Revelation 3:10  Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

[
Note:
Because this church has not forsaken the WORD and has not given in to satan’s temptations, and they wait upon the LORD, then JESUS will keep this church from the hour of temptation. This means they have eyes to see and ears to hear. They can’t be tempted by satan if they know that it is satan. Who would worship satan if they know that it is satan? By knowing the TRUTH, satan cannot deceive this church into worshiping him. No matter what he tempts them with, they will not give in. They will remain patient and wait upon the LORD.
]

Revelation 3:11  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

[
Note:
If this church were raptured out, then why would they have to hold on to their crown of Life? But they will not let any man deceive or talk them out of it. They know the TRUTH, and to know the TRUTH makes you smarter than that.
]

Revelation 3:12  Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

[
Note:
The rapture deceivers used verse Revelation 3:10 as saying it is a rapture. If that were the case, then what is there to overcome? After all, they are saying at this point that they are already with JESUS. If that were the case, what is there to overcome? The TRUTH is that it’s the hour of temptation and everyone will be here. What is the hour of temptation about? It’s about temptation. The devil will tempt you to get you to worship him. But he will fail with this church because this church knows the TRUTH. Because others don’t have a love for the TRUTH, they will be deceived. The first warning that JESUS gave is to take heed that you don’t be deceived. Well, rapture teachers are trying to deceive you. Their false doctrine can cause you to believe that satan is JESUS when he shows up as antichrist. This can result in you falling away to satan if you fall for their false doctrine.
]

Revelation 3:13  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

[
Note:
Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear? If you have a love for the TRUTH, then it is possible that you do.
]

Rapture teachers and believers use this verse (Revelation 4:1) to say that the church is called up to Heaven in a rapture.

Those who teach this are either in a stupor or are of the darkest evil that want to destroy souls. It’s John who looked, it’s John who beheld the door opened in Heaven, it’s John who heard the voice, and it was John who was called up to Heaven to see the things which must be hereafter.

The church is not mentioned and what logic would there be for the church to come up to Heaven and see the things hereafter. Those who teach this as the church being called up are seriously dark and those who believe those that teach it are not having a love for the TRUTH. More likely, they are having a love for hype. What was John told that he would be doing in the first place? The answer is: (Revelation 1:19  Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;)

Revelation 4:1  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Rapture teachers use the verses regarding the marriage supper of the LAMB to say that JESUS comes back for his bride and takes HIS bride off to Heaven for the marriage supper and then returns at the seventh trump. Considering that they can use these verses to frame an elaborate deception, it makes me wonder how much evil is involved in their deception. Well, even if you cannot fathom how to use a GPS, you can understand the words “after this” and “after this”. So, look at these verses and try to focus long enough to at least grasp A, B, C, and 1, 2, 3. You can go back to your dumbing down “Friends” episode after you get just a little discipline that somehow might creep into you and allow a seed of TRUTH to be planted.

Revelation 18:1  And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

[
Note:
“And after these things”: After what things? After the description of the whore in Revelation chapter seventeen.
]

Revelation 18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

[
Note:
Now, the key thing to notice here is that Babylon the great is fallen. If you read the entire chapter, it gives a thorough description of that fall and also shows that it fell in one hour. That hour that it has fallen in is the hour of temptation. And what is key about these verses? It’s that the marriage supper of the LAMB has not happened yet, even though the hour of temptation is over. This means that it could not be possible for a rapture to take place before the hour of temptation.
]

Revelation 19:1  And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

[
Note:
“And after these things”: After what things? After the fall of Babylon the great. After the hour of temptation. After the angel made the announcement in chapter eighteen that Babylon had fallen. Make a mental note to study how Babylon the great comes to its end, or watch the video: “The End Time Temple Of The LORD”.
]

Revelation 19:2  For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

[
Note:
“Hath judged”: Past tense. The great whore has already been taken down.
]

Revelation 19:3  And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

Revelation 19:4  And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

Revelation 19:5  And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

Revelation 19:6  And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Revelation 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Revelation 19:8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Revelation 19:9  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

[
Note:
And after the fall of Babylon and the judgement of the great white whore, which ends the hour of temptation, which is the great tribulation, also known as Jacob’s trouble, then comes the marriage supper of the LAMB as written in verses, Revelation 19: 7 through 9.
]

To finalize this post, the following is a description of verses that rapture teachers (and believers) like to ignore. If someone tries to explain or even mention these verses to a rapture teacher or believer, they will throw up one of those verses in the previously mentioned topics and call it a rapture. They have no intention of discussing something that is a firm condemnation of their false doctrine. What I find interesting is that these verses say straight out that for those who don’t care about this TRUTH, that GOD HIMSELF will send them a strong delusion to believe satan’s lie that he is GOD. And GOD is saying the reason HE is doing so is so that they might be damned. That means be sent to hell. Yet a rapture believer is stupid enough not to want to look at it. I mean seriously, they could go to hell. How stupid is that?

2 Thessalonians 2:1  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

[
Note:
Paul is saying that he wants to speak to the brethren (these are good people and are brothers in CHRIST) about when JESUS will return and we gather back to HIM.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:2  That ye 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.

[
Note:
That you don’t waver in your intelligence, or be troubled, neither by the spirit that is in the air (such as hype or the group thought) or any spirits, nor by what is said, nor by letter as from us (Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, which was 1st Thessalonians), as to whether JESUS could return at any time.
]

2 Thessalonians 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;

[
Note:
Don’t let anyone deceive you by any means because CHRIST will not come until after there is a defection (apostasy) from GOD’S TRUTH, and the devil is revealed, the only named son of GOD that is already sentenced to die. The reason this is of extreme importance is that if people do not know that satan comes first before JESUS returns, then they will instantly apply everything they have ever known about JESUS to satan. They will worship satan as CHRIST when satan does his miracles to deceive man into thinking he is CHRIST.

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Revelation 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Revelation 13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Revelation 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

The devil’s death sentence is given in Ezekiel 28:18, and is to be turned to ashes from the inside out in front of all who see him.

Ezekiel 28:18  Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

[
Note:
Who opposes and sets himself above GOD and sits in GOD’S Temple claiming to be GOD.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

[
Note:
Paul had already explained these things to the Thessalonians, but somehow word got around and people started getting confused. It was likely caused by Paul’s first letter, and 1st Thessalonians 4:17 in particular. The Thessalonians should have paid attention to “The Trump Of GOD” in 1st Thessalonians 4:16, but the main purpose for those verses in 1st Thessalonians chapter four was to explain about the dead in CHRIST and where they are located. We that are still alive in the flesh cannot prevent (or precede) those that have already died because they are with CHRIST already.

2 Corinthians 5:8  We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2 Thessalonians 2:7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

[
Note:
It is Michael the archangel who holds satan in prison. Michael and his angels will fight with the devil and his angels and the devil will be cast to earth for the hour of temptation. After that hour, Michael will chain the devil in the pit until the thousand years are up, then the devil will be loosed for a short season to test the people.

Revelation 12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Revelation 12:8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Revelation 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Revelation 12:12  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 20:1  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

Revelation 20:2  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Revelation 20:3  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

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

[
Note:
“that Wicked” is the lawless one, the man of sin; also known as the son of perdition whose name is the devil and satan. The LORD will bring him to nothing with the sharp twoedged Sword that proceeds out of HIS mouth (TRUTH):

Revelation 1:9  I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 1:10  I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Revelation 1:11  Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Revelation 1:12  And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

Revelation 1:13  And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

Revelation 1:14  His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

Revelation 1:15  And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Revelation 1:16  And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

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

[
Note:
I will write the explanation of verse 2:9 as I’ve previously understood it first, but as I was preparing this post, another possibility occured to me. I’ll write the other possibility next, but keep in mind that the second possibility may be wrong. The reader should make up his own mind as to which explanation makes best sense.

First possibility:

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

2 Thessalonians 2:9  Even him, whose coming is after G2596 the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

G2596
κατά

A primary particle; (preposition) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [genitive, dative or accusative] with which it is joined): - about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to, touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, [charita-] bly, concerning, + covered, [dai-] ly, down, every, (+ far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from . . . to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), . . . by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where (-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution or intensity.

“Even him, whose coming” would be the devil performing wickedness after (pertaining to)  the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

In this case, the word “after” would be attributed to accusations regarding the wickedness that satan performs.

Second possibility:

2 Thessalonians 2:8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: G3952

G3952

2 Thessalonians 2:9  Even him, whose coming G3952 is after G2596 the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

G2596

A primary particle; (preposition) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [genitive, dative or accusative] with which it is joined): - about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to, touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, [charita-] bly, concerning, + covered, [dai-] ly, down, every, (+ far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from . . . to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), . . . by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where (-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution or intensity.

“Even him, whose coming” is after (in time)  the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

In this case, the word “after” would be attributed to after (in time) to the wickedness that satan performs. In other words, it would mean that JESUS returns after satan performs his wickedness.

I’m not sure which of these two explanations is correct. I tend to lean towards the first explanation, but since the second explanation occurred to me suddenly while I was preparing the post, I have to at least evaluate its possibility. If anyone who knows definitely which explanation is the correct explanation and can prove it definitely, I would appreciate if you could explain it to me and teach me how you came to the conclusion.

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

[
Note:
The reason that GOD is sending them a strong delusion to believe satan’s lie that satan is GOD is so they might be damned because they don’t care about TRUTH. They would rather participate in satan’s deception and take part in his injustice. They would rather worship satan as their savior than accept or receive GOD’S TRUTH.
]

Why are people afraid of the Truth?

Actually, they're not. They just don't care.

People are excited by hype, and because they set their mind on that hype, and because they are in a group of like minded believers in hype, they can't see what is right in front of them. They don’t take what is serious as important. It's unsettling, but that is how most people form their deepest beliefs. A group leader states a belief and the group conforms to that belief, whether or not there is any evidence or context to support that belief other than a single sentence or verse that triggers the idea. The individuals of the group then reinforce that belief as though the belief is fact, even though they have not ascertained for themselves whether there is evidence to support the belief. If you sit at a campfire and look at the pretty colors of the flames, would you stick your hand in the fire? No, you wouldn't. You believe the fire. You know the TRUTH. It would hurt beyond comprehension. Yet, many profess that JESUS is their whole reason for everything, but they know very little about what JESUS is telling them. They don't know HIM and HE doesn't know them. HE even says that HE will tell them that HE never knew them and that they have to depart from HIM.

This post uses the false rapture doctrine as an example, but the TRUTH of the matter is, that most people don't know the very WORD they profess to be true.

They may end up in the Millennium for one thousand years of Iron Rod discipline and then still there is a chance they won't make it into eternal life. If they don’t overcome the devil by the end of the Millennium, they will be cast into the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Unless you, the reader of this document are one of GOD'S election, you likely won't see what the Scriptures in this document mean. You don't have eyes to see or ears to hear. You probably don't even realize that JESUS said that you won't understand unless you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

I write strongly because I'm hoping that it will jolt you into being scared and knowing that if you believe the campfire will hurt you when you stick your hand in the fire, you had also better realize that the TRUE FIRE that will burn you up is the very FIRE you profess to be TRUE but actually know little about. THE CONSUMING FIRE may burn you up if you don't care about learning the TRUTH. So, read on, and hopefully it will be GOD'S will that you don't be damned because you have no love for the TRUTH, by giving you a love for the TRUTH. I also firmly believe that if you come to a love of the TRUTH, that it was likely already determined that it will be that way. I’m happy if this document is the trigger that results in awakening your love of the TRUTH.

A trump is short for trumpet. It is a call to action in the same way as is used in the military; for example revelee, or the call to charge. There are seven trumps to the end of this age, and the last trump which is the seventh trump is the trump at which time JESUS returns. It is known as The Trump Of GOD.

Revelation 8:2  And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

Revelation 8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

Revelation 8:4  And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

Revelation 8:5  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

Revelation 8:6  And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

As you can see, we need to understand what it is that we read. We need to know the language of the material in the sense of what symbol is being referenced and how does it pertain to the subject at hand.

The Trump Of GOD is the only trump of the seven trumps that has to do with GOD. It's the trump at which JESUS returns:

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

The Seventh Trump is the farthest trump out and is also called the last trump:

1 Corinthians 15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1 Corinthians 15:51  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

1 Corinthians 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Corinthians 15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Many false teachers take verses out of context to suit what hype or deception they wish to perpetrate. They have their agenda whether it is perpetrated only by the teacher or by a structure of deceivers well knit within a large community. GOD’S WORD is provided. It is up to the individual to have a love for the TRUTH that is well ingrained in his personality or spirit so that he won’t accept what is placed before him, but will demand the accuracy and use due diligence in seeking what GOD’S WORD, HIS letter to us, actually says.

False teachers often use the following Scriptures out of context, and or supply a false meaning to the Scriptures, or even leave out an important part of the true meaning in order to perpetrate their false doctrine of the rapture. Whether or not what they teach is done purposely or in ignorance, what they present to you is a lie. By knowing the true meaning of these Scriptures, you may be able to bring the deceiver to the TRUTH. What is most important however, is you will not be taken in by their hype perpetrated false doctrine.

Rapture believers use the words “caught up” in 1st Thessalonians 4:17 to say that there is a rapture. They also infer that this rapture is before JESUS makes HIS second coming. They believe that the word “air” in the same verse means the sky. When you look at the true context and meaning of the verse, you will notice that the verse just prior says that this does not happen until the Trump Of GOD. The words “caught up” mean to be seized by force, and the word “air” does not mean sky. It means breath of life spirit. The true context is that at the seventh trump, we are seized by force to meet the LORD in our spirit bodies as written in 1st Corinthians chapter fifteen. Paul wrote Thessalonians and is likely using the word “cloud” to mean crowd, in the same way as he did in Hebrews 12:1. You can verify these definitions with the Authorized King James Bible and a Strong’s Concordance.

1st Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

1st Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up G726 together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: G109 and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

G726
ἁρπάζω
harpazō
har-pad'-zo
From a derivative of G138; to seize (in various applications): - catch (away, up), pluck, pull, take (by force).

G109
ἀήρ
aēr
ah-ayr'
From ἄημι aēmi (to breathe unconsciously, that is, respire; by analogy to blow); “air” (as naturally circumambient): - air. Compare G5594.

Hebrews 12:1  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Verse 1st Thessalonians 4:16 says that when JESUS returns, it is at the Trump Of GOD. That is the last trump, the seventh trump, the farthest trump out. It's the trump at which verse 1st Thessalonians 4:17 happens. That means there cannot be a rapture because the seventh trump is the last trump and is the trump at which JESUS returns and this flesh age is over.

Rapture believers use Revelation 3:10 to say there is a rapture, and they base this on the statement that JESUS made to the church of Philadelphia that because they have kept the word of HIS patience, that HE will keep them from the hour of temptation. They do not bother to understand what the verse means and they ignore the verses following that statement.

Revelation 3:7  And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

[
Note:
Philadelphia means brotherly love. The key of David is the knowledge of WHO the TRUE CHRIST is. HE that openeth, and no man shutteth is JESUS and what HE opens is the TRUTH. So, HE can give eyes to see and ears to hear, and HE can blind someone also.

Luke 8:10  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
]

Revelation 3:8  I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

[
Note:
JESUS knows this church’s works: faith without works is dead. The open door that JESUS has set before them is the door to TRUTH and once you know TRUTH, no man can take that from you. This church has studied the WORD and not denied the name of JESUS (they have not fallen away to satan).
]

Revelation 3:9  Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

[
Note:
This church and the church of Smyrna are the only two churches of the seven end time churches that JESUS is happy about. Both churches teach the same thing. They teach who the imposter Jews are. You know them. They own most things in the world today. They own the banks, the media, and have infiltrated governments. They use the four hidden dynasties to prepare the world for the coming of their father the devil, which will appear as antichrist. In the Millennium, they will worship at our feet. That does not mean we are anything special or better than anyone else. It simply means they will want to learn as much as they can about JESUS. I would think their reasoning is that they will try to save their hides, but that is just my opinion. Those who know this information are less likely to worship satan due to thinking he is JESUS.
]

Revelation 3:10  Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

[
Note:
Because this church has not forsaken the WORD and has not given in to satan’s temptations, and they wait upon the LORD, then JESUS will keep this church from the hour of temptation. This means they have eyes to see and ears to hear. They can’t be tempted by satan if they know that it is satan. Who would worship satan if they know that it is satan? By knowing the TRUTH, satan cannot deceive this church into worshiping him. No matter what he tempts them with, they will not give in. They will remain patient and wait upon the LORD.
]

Revelation 3:11  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

[
Note:
If this church were raptured out, then why would they have to hold on to their crown of Life? But they will not let any man deceive or talk them out of it. They know the TRUTH, and to know the TRUTH makes you smarter than that.
]

Revelation 3:12  Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

[
Note:
The rapture deceivers used verse Revelation 3:10 as saying it is a rapture. If that were the case, then what is there to overcome? After all, they are saying at this point that they are already with JESUS. If that were the case, what is there to overcome? The TRUTH is that it’s the hour of temptation and everyone will be here. What is the hour of temptation about? It’s about temptation. The devil will tempt you to get you to worship him. But he will fail with this church because this church knows the TRUTH. Because others don’t have a love for the TRUTH, they will be deceived. The first warning that JESUS gave is to take heed that you don’t be deceived. Well, rapture teachers are trying to deceive you. Their false doctrine can cause you to believe that satan is JESUS when he shows up as antichrist. This can result in you falling away to satan if you fall for their false doctrine.
]

Revelation 3:13  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

[
Note:
Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear? If you have a love for the TRUTH, then it is possible that you do.
]

Rapture teachers and believers use this verse (Revelation 4:1) to say that the church is called up to Heaven in a rapture.

Those who teach this are either in a stupor or are of the darkest evil that want to destroy souls. It’s John who looked, it’s John who beheld the door opened in Heaven, it’s John who heard the voice, and it was John who was called up to Heaven to see the things which must be hereafter.

The church is not mentioned and what logic would there be for the church to come up to Heaven and see the things hereafter. Those who teach this as the church being called up are seriously dark and those who believe those that teach it are not having a love for the TRUTH. More likely, they are having a love for hype. What was John told that he would be doing in the first place? The answer is: (Revelation 1:19  Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;)

Revelation 4:1  After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Rapture teachers use the verses regarding the marriage supper of the LAMB to say that JESUS comes back for his bride and takes HIS bride off to Heaven for the marriage supper and then returns at the seventh trump. Considering that they can use these verses to frame an elaborate deception, it makes me wonder how much evil is involved in their deception. Well, even if you cannot fathom how to use a GPS, you can understand the words “after this” and “after this”. So, look at these verses and try to focus long enough to at least grasp A, B, C, and 1, 2, 3. You can go back to your dumbing down “Friends” episode after you get just a little discipline that somehow might creep into you and allow a seed of TRUTH to be planted.

Revelation 18:1  And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

[
Note:
“And after these things”: After what things? After the description of the whore in Revelation chapter seventeen.
]

Revelation 18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

[
Note:
Now, the key thing to notice here is that Babylon the great is fallen. If you read the entire chapter, it gives a thorough description of that fall and also shows that it fell in one hour. That hour that it has fallen in is the hour of temptation. And what is key about these verses? It’s that the marriage supper of the LAMB has not happened yet, even though the hour of temptation is over. This means that it could not be possible for a rapture to take place before the hour of temptation.
]

Revelation 19:1  And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

[
Note:
“And after these things”: After what things? After the fall of Babylon the great. After the hour of temptation. After the angel made the announcement in chapter eighteen that Babylon had fallen. Make a mental note to study how Babylon the great comes to its end, or watch the video: “The End Time Temple Of The LORD”.
]

Revelation 19:2  For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

[
Note:
“Hath judged”: Past tense. The great whore has already been taken down.
]

Revelation 19:3  And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

Revelation 19:4  And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

Revelation 19:5  And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

Revelation 19:6  And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Revelation 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Revelation 19:8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Revelation 19:9  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

[
Note:
And after the fall of Babylon and the judgement of the great white whore, which ends the hour of temptation, which is the great tribulation, also known as Jacob’s trouble, then comes the marriage supper of the LAMB as written in verses, Revelation 19: 7 through 9.
]

To finalize this post, the following is a description of verses that rapture teachers (and believers) like to ignore. If someone tries to explain or even mention these verses to a rapture teacher or believer, they will throw up one of those verses in the previously mentioned topics and call it a rapture. They have no intention of discussing something that is a firm condemnation of their false doctrine. What I find interesting is that these verses say straight out that for those who don’t care about this TRUTH, that GOD HIMSELF will send them a strong delusion to believe satan’s lie that he is GOD. And GOD is saying the reason HE is doing so is so that they might be damned. That means be sent to hell. Yet a rapture believer is stupid enough not to want to look at it. I mean seriously, they could go to hell. How stupid is that?

2 Thessalonians 2:1  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

[
Note:
Paul is saying that he wants to speak to the brethren (these are good people and are brothers in CHRIST) about when JESUS will return and we gather back to HIM.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:2  That ye 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.

[
Note:
That you don’t waver in your intelligence, or be troubled, neither by the spirit that is in the air (such as hype or the group thought) or any spirits, nor by what is said, nor by letter as from us (Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, which was 1st Thessalonians), as to whether JESUS could return at any time.
]

2 Thessalonians 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;

[
Note:
Don’t let anyone deceive you by any means because CHRIST will not come until after there is a defection (apostasy) from GOD’S TRUTH, and the devil is revealed, the only named son of GOD that is already sentenced to die. The reason this is of extreme importance is that if people do not know that satan comes first before JESUS returns, then they will instantly apply everything they have ever known about JESUS to satan. They will worship satan as CHRIST when satan does his miracles to deceive man into thinking he is CHRIST.

Revelation 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Revelation 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Revelation 13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Revelation 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

The devil’s death sentence is given in Ezekiel 28:18, and is to be turned to ashes from the inside out in front of all who see him.

Ezekiel 28:18  Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

[
Note:
Who opposes and sets himself above GOD and sits in GOD’S Temple claiming to be GOD.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

[
Note:
Paul had already explained these things to the Thessalonians, but somehow word got around and people started getting confused. It was likely caused by Paul’s first letter, and 1st Thessalonians 4:17 in particular. The Thessalonians should have paid attention to “The Trump Of GOD” in 1st Thessalonians 4:16, but the main purpose for those verses in 1st Thessalonians chapter four was to explain about the dead in CHRIST and where they are located. We that are still alive in the flesh cannot prevent (or precede) those that have already died because they are with CHRIST already.

2 Corinthians 5:8  We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
]

2 Thessalonians 2:6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2 Thessalonians 2:7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

[
Note:
It is Michael the archangel who holds satan in prison. Michael and his angels will fight with the devil and his angels and the devil will be cast to earth for the hour of temptation. After that hour, Michael will chain the devil in the pit until the thousand years are up, then the devil will be loosed for a short season to test the people.

Revelation 12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Revelation 12:8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Revelation 12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Revelation 12:12  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 20:1  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

Revelation 20:2  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Revelation 20:3  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

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

[
Note:
“that Wicked” is the lawless one, the man of sin; also known as the son of perdition whose name is the devil and satan. The LORD will bring him to nothing with the sharp twoedged Sword that proceeds out of HIS mouth (TRUTH):

Revelation 1:9  I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 1:10  I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

Revelation 1:11  Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Revelation 1:12  And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

Revelation 1:13  And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

Revelation 1:14  His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

Revelation 1:15  And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Revelation 1:16  And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

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

[
Note:
I will write the explanation of verse 2:9 as I’ve previously understood it first, but as I was preparing this post, another possibility occured to me. I’ll write the other possibility next, but keep in mind that the second possibility may be wrong. The reader should make up his own mind as to which explanation makes best sense.

First possibility:

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

2 Thessalonians 2:9  Even him, whose coming is after G2596 the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

G2596
κατά

A primary particle; (preposition) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [genitive, dative or accusative] with which it is joined): - about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to, touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, [charita-] bly, concerning, + covered, [dai-] ly, down, every, (+ far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from . . . to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), . . . by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where (-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution or intensity.

“Even him, whose coming” would be the devil performing wickedness after (pertaining to)  the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

In this case, the word “after” would be attributed to accusations regarding the wickedness that satan performs.

Second possibility:

2 Thessalonians 2:8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: G3952

G3952

2 Thessalonians 2:9  Even him, whose coming G3952 is after G2596 the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

G2596

A primary particle; (preposition) down (in place or time), in varied relations (according to the case [genitive, dative or accusative] with which it is joined): - about, according as (to), after, against, (when they were) X alone, among, and, X apart, (even, like) as (concerning, pertaining to, touching), X aside, at, before, beyond, by, to the charge of, [charita-] bly, concerning, + covered, [dai-] ly, down, every, (+ far more) exceeding, X more excellent, for, from . . . to, godly, in (-asmuch, divers, every, -to, respect of), . . . by, after the manner of, + by any means, beyond (out of) measure, X mightily, more, X natural, of (up-) on (X part), out (of every), over against, (+ your) X own, + particularly, so, through (-oughout, -oughout every), thus, (un-) to (-gether, -ward), X uttermost, where (-by), with. In composition it retains many of these applications, and frequently denotes opposition, distribution or intensity.

“Even him, whose coming” is after (in time)  the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

In this case, the word “after” would be attributed to after (in time) to the wickedness that satan performs. In other words, it would mean that JESUS returns after satan performs his wickedness.

I’m not sure which of these two explanations is correct. I tend to lean towards the first explanation, but since the second explanation occurred to me suddenly while I was preparing the post, I have to at least evaluate its possibility. If anyone who knows definitely which explanation is the correct explanation and can prove it definitely, I would appreciate if you could explain it to me and teach me how you came to the conclusion.

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

Note:
And because of this GOD shall send them strong delusion, they they should have faith in satan’s falsehood.

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

[
Note:
The reason that GOD is sending them a strong delusion to believe satan’s lie that satan is GOD is so they might be damned because they don’t care about TRUTH. They would rather participate in satan’s deception and take part in his injustice. They would rather worship satan as their savior than accept or receive GOD’S TRUTH.
