This one is going to be packed!
First, I don’t want to alarm anyone but I have the NKJV of 2 Thess. 2, the most accurate translation of the Bible. Below are verses 1 through 8. I will cut and paste them first, then copy that with details. Just wait… you’ll see!
" Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming."
That was the text itself. Now I copy it below with parenthetical inserts explaining some key details. And… you’ll see!
" Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,
(The coming of the Lord, AND the rapture as one event at the end, I will indicate this event with the label “Event A”.)
we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.
(It had not come yet at that time and they were worried that Event A had come, Paul consoles them that it had not.)
3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first,
(That Day is also Event A, again the same event. Paul explains that Event A will not occur until the falling away comes first. So the falling away must happen BEFORE Event A. The falling away is the apostasy of the church, otherwise known as the great apostasy, which has been going on for more than twenty years now. Many discernment websites have documented this. Anyway, the falling away is translated as apostasy, not rapture, sometimes there is confusion there. Now the falling away has occurred, so that no longer stands in the way of the rapture and return, Event A.)
and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
(Now there are TWO prerequisites, the apostasy or falling away, AND the man of sin is revealed before Event A can occur. The man of sin is the antichrist. So… Event A cannot occur UNTIL the apostasy AND the antichrist are revealed. So the antichrist must be revealed BEFORE the rapture of the church and Lord’s return. Most get that backwards. But more good news is that he already HAS been revealed, so that no longer stands in the way either. His unveiling comes in stages. It will become obvious in the years ahead who he is.)
4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
(Most claim that this is the church. BUT. There are two buts here. The first but is that there is no Biblical evidence that this is the church. The second but is even bigger. The church symbolically is a SHE, the BRIDE of Christ. The Bride is NOT a HE! The world may confuse these gender pronouns, but the Lord certainly does not! This could be one of the arch angels. There is a time when he is to be revealed and that’s when he is not held back any longer. The Holy Spirit also plays a role here in stepping out of the way. But one thing is for sure, it’s not the church.)
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming."
(The AC is revealed in his time. Then the Lord destroys him at His return as we know. Again, Event A is the return and the rapture at the end.)
Next the statue. There is a direct connection with the image in Revelation and the statue and idol set up for worship in Daniel 3. It is also connected to the image of the man in Daniel’s dream of the layers of kingdoms and empires. In the end, it all represents man. It’s all about ‘human potential,’ and secular humanism. The belief that man can do all things and solve all the world’s problems without God. It was the claim of communism and other tyrannies in world history including the French Revolution’s aims. Even dominionism claims that the church can usher in the kingdom of heaven without God and His return. The pope has his ‘humanistic education’ that was launched just around the onset of the great reset. (One of many hints, it’s a long list.) All the numbers with sixes are symbolic. Six is the number of man. Seven is the number of God and completion. Man is incomplete without God. But man wants to think otherwise. He wants to worship himself and man’s accomplishments. He does not want to acknowledge his need for God and insufficiency without God. This has been going on since the garden of Eden of course. There will be much more about ‘man’s potential’ in the coming years. It’s in education as well, as if man’s potential is unlimited if he can just ‘believe in himself’ and ‘put his mind to it’ and ‘try harder’ he can achieve and realize his ‘unlimited potential.’ The problem is in the word ‘unlimited.’ Nothing wrong with reaching one’s full potential, but it is limited, not unlimited. It’s all about man and not God. Of course this is a big appeal to man’s ego and the devil knows it. We see it in false doctrines of the church, making man ‘sovereign’ and not God by ‘speaking things into being’ in numerous subtle ways that are disguises for witchcraft. Playing God, trying to manipulate and control the universe instead of bowing before the will of God and not our own will, as Jesus did when He prayed, “Not MY will, but YOUR will be done”! It is God’s Word, not our word that is sovereign, God and not us.
Yes, it’s all leading to the mark. It is not here yet but it is leading to it. It is conditioning humanity that we can’t proceed without this or that proof of something, compliance of something, submission to something. It’s such a network of agendas for the end times rolled into the covid stuff, but that is one aspect of it. It’s just a slippery slide down the slope to the mark. For those who complied all along, it will just be one more inch to move to keep their kingdoms intact. Scary thought, most will cave to it too. This whole thing was designed that way.
Be on guard!
Blessings!!!

. Of course it’s none of my business to say who is saved and who is not, but I want to know if OSAS is true or not.
