Chapter 2
NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Adonay Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah, and by our gathering together to him,
2 That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of the Anointing of the Spirit of Yah is at hand.
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;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called Yah, or that is bowed down; so that he as Yah sitteth in the temple of Yah, shewing himself that he is Yah.
5 Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now you know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom Adonay shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the Chesed of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause Yah shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks always to Yah for you, brethren beloved of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, because Yah has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our Good News, to the obtaining of the Kavod of our Adonay Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Adonay Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah himself, and Yah, even our Father, which has Cheseded us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through Chen,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
