1. Conditions on the Earth
2 Thessalonians 2
1 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. 9 The coming of the lawless one
is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and
lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those
who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth,
that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them
strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they
all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure
in unrighteousness.
a. God stops restraining evil and lawlessness on the Earth, allowing
Anti-Christ to appear.
b. Anti-Christ deceives the World with false mirlacles, signs and
wonders.
c. People who previously refused the truth and salvation come under
a strong delusion to believe the lies, and they follow the Anti-Christ.
d. So the World system, which has been fighting with the Kingdom
of God for the duration of human history, is finally allowed to
take over and rule the World.
2. The Messiah
Revelation 19
11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who
sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He
judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and
on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one
knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,
and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should
strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of
iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name
written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

3. Christ Returns
Revelation 19
11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who
sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He
judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and
on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one
knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,
and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should
strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of
iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name
written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
4. The Effect Revelation 19:17-21
Revelation 19
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a
loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven,
“Come and gather together for the supper of the great God,
18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the
flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on
them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and
great.”
19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and
against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the
false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived
those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped
his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning
with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which
proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the
birds were filled with their flesh.
2 Thessalonians 2
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.
