What to expect while your expecting

Spurgeon Commentary: 2 Thessalonians Exposition

the teaching has always been that Christ is coming quickly. That teaching must never be withdrawn, for He is coming quickly, as He said to John in the Revelation (Rev 3:11; 22:7, 12, 20). At the same time, this teaching has given an opportunity to certain presumptuous people to prophesy that at such and such a time Christ will come. They know nothing about it, and their prophecies are not worth the breath they spend in uttering them.

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

Spurgeon Commentary: 2 Thessalonians Exposition

Possibly it was the lack of comfort that led certain of the Thessalonians to preach the immediate coming of the Lord. Their impatience excited the wish, and the wish led on to the assertion. When men lose the present comfort of plain gospel doctrines they are very apt to begin speculating, and in carnal heat foretelling the coming of the Lord. They left the patient waiting that is our duty for a fevered prophesying that is nowhere encouraged in the word of God

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.

Spurgeon Commentary: 2 Thessalonians Exposition

They were worried they were shaken about the second coming of the Lord and Paul was calming them down.

There were three things that were troubling them.

there were three things that were troubling them A spirit A word and a letter

Paul had written them a letter after he established the church and had to leave because of the persecution

2 Thessalonians 3:5 KJV 1900

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

Paul had written them a letter after he established the church and had to leave because of the persecution

The Thessalonians experienced vicious persecution because of their faith.

1 Thessalonians 3:5 KJV 1900

For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

The Thessalonians experienced vicious persecution because of their faith.

Spurgeon Commentary: 2 Thessalonians Exposition

A man does not wait patiently when he is low in spirit and weary at heart. Let a man feel his own heart right with God and be at peace, and he can quietly wait until Christ comes even though the Lord shall delay His coming for many a day. But when everything is tossed about, and our hope grows dim and our fellowship is broken and our zeal is burning low, we jump at anything that will end the struggle and enable us to avoid further effort. Laziness and despondency lead many to cry, “Why is his chariot delayed in coming?” (Judg 5:28) just as idle workmen long for Saturday night.

Paul’s ministry lasted not more than a month before persecution drove him out of Thessalonica (,).

Jews in the city that believed not took certain lewd fellows and assaulted the house OF jason but the church sent him away after about a month of ministry

Spurgeon, C. (2014). Spurgeon Commentary: 2 Thessalonians. (E. Ritzema, Ed.) (p. 31). Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press.

Jews in the city that believed not took certain lewd fellows and assaulted the house OF jason but the church sent him away after about a month of ministry

Because of all that persecution Paul would comfort them with the Thought of the Lord's return the rapture

And even if they died in the persecution it would be ok because Jesus would raise them up

Paul in his first epistle to the church at thessalonica wrote this

The letter was were he taught them about the Rapture .

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

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:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

When they learned that it shook them up

Some people stopped working and got nervous and did not know what to do.

Think about it if you thought the Lord was coming tomorrow what would you do?

Some of you might call into work Go to olive garden.

That is what the thessalonians did you read about it in chapter three.

They were busy bodies going from house to house Not working

There was another thing troubling them

Either by letter nor by word

The word. People in were telling them the rapture was now making them nervous .

People in 2:3 were going around telling them it was now making them nervous

Telling everyone and making them nervous about the Lord coming back he never told them to do that.

the teaching has always been that Christ is coming quickly. That teaching must never be withdrawn, for He is coming quickly, as He said to John in the times behold I come quickly

Paul held that it was consistent to expect the Lord to come quickly, and yet to know that certain events must occur before He did come.

The Lord will come in such an hour as we do not think, yet there are clear indications of certain things that are to happen before He does come.

this teaching has given an opportunity to presumptuous people to abuse this doctrine prophesy that at such and such a time Christ will come. They know nothing about it, and their prophecies are not worth the breath they spend in uttering them.

They quit Doing what God said and occupying working for the night is coming and started prophesying and guessing when he would come back.

nowhere in the word of God does it encourage you to do that and it is not spiritual

He said do not let these guys their words trouble you and if they do not listen to this letter than stop talking to them. But do not make an enemy out of them.

The third thing that was troubling them was a spirit. 2 Thessalonians 2:7

The third thing that was troubling them was a spirit.

Things were getting worse they were falling apart and they were troubled as they saw things around them deteriorating and the persecution and the iniquity increasing.

Things were getting worse they were falling apart and they were troubled as they saw things around them deteriorating and the persecution and the inquiry increasing.

And that is the exact situation we find ourselves in today people taking the words of God misreading them miss teaching them and making every one as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

And that is the exact situation we find ourselves intoday people taking the words of God misreading them miss teaching them and making every one as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

People are going around saying Jesus is coming do not get a job do not have kids do not buy a house. People are troubled about the future

And then we see things falling apart around us things are getting worse.

So to ease their minds he told them what they could expect while they were expecting christ to return.

Sp to ease their minds he told them what they could expect while they were expecting christ to return.

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,

There has to be a great falling away first

The People that call themselves Christians are going to fall away they are going to begin to look like the world.

Whatever you hold dear they are going to forsake the bible the church morality Jesus

They will begin to embrace the world.

And don't let it trouble you it has to happen before the Lord comes back.

By the time THe Lord came to get Lot out of sodom his family had taken on the customs of Sodom and you could not tell a difference between Lot his family and the people of sodom.

That is happening today.

Christians are same in everything.

Sad

The antichrist has to be revealed first

The antichrist has to be revealed before the Rapture

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;

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.

He is revealed when goes into the future temple and changes the sacrifice.

He is revealed when he sets up an abomination in the temple

One day there will be a temple set up in Jerusalem again and the daily sacrifices will resume and he will march right in there say I am god you offer this sacrifice to me.

BEcause of that I don't have to worry when Harold camping or any one the have always been and there always will be people telling you christ is coming at this time

Because of that I don't have to worry when Harold camping or any one the have always been and there always will be people telling you christ is coming at this time

That is how he is revealed Now we don't know who the antichrist is till that happens. THeat is the signal for the rapture and that is the signal for the start of the tribulation.

That is how he is revealed Now we don't know who the antichrist is till that happens.

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

I've heard people say that it was Bill Clinton and George Bush and Obama and Donald Trump because the Lord's coming at the last Trump oh my goodness. People are just as nutty as a pecan pie

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

That is the signal for the rapture and that is the signal for the start of the tribulation.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

But the mystery of iniquity is already at work and it is going to keep getting worse. So you are going to have to exercise patience and just expect things to keep going down hill.

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

There are two spirits at work the holy spirit he is holding it back but the more wicked man gets the more he lets that spirit of inquiry loose.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

In the mean time things are going to get worse because the mystery of iniquity ( the spirit of anti christ ) will gain influence. 2 Thessalonians 2:7

So the evidence of this working and getting more freedom the chain getting longer is all around us.

But the mystery of iniquity is already at work and it is going to keep getting worse. So you are going to have to exercise patience and just expect things to keep going down hill.

That spirit of antichrist is still at work and you can expect it to increase it is the same spirit that works in the children of disobedience

There are two spirits at work the holy spirit he is holding it back but the more wicked man gets the more he lets that spirit of inquiry loose.

Eph_2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

So the evidence of this working and getting more freedom the chain getting longer is all around us.

Stand fast

Stand up do not move do not slide do not give in

You make up your mind right now that, when the test of life comes, that you’re going to stick it out.

Remain in the same position still. (If it is a good position)

A little boy, one time, had an old horse that was more like a nag than anything else—just an old dilapidated, flea-bitten, swayback horse. And, a man made fun of the little boy’s horse and said, “Son, is that a race horse?” He said, “No, sir.” He said, “Is he a plow horse?” He said, “No, sir.” He said, “He is a show horse?” He said, “No, sir.” He said, “Well, can he run fast?” He said, “No, sir, but he can stand fast.” You know, God is not interested in whether or not you’re a race horse, whether you’re a show horse. I think God wants to know, can you stand fast? Can you stand fast? Can you endure temptation? Can you pass the test? That’s what James is talking about.

Onward forward shout a loud hosanna

We are looking for the coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ from heaven, and that he shall “fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory;” therefore let us stand fast in the position which will secure us this honour. Let us keep our posts until the coming of the great Captain shall release the sentinels

Keep on the firing line

In this age all the ships in the waters are pulling up their anchors: they are drifting with the tide; they are driven about with every wind. It is your wisdom to put down more anchors.

not retreat

If you see a truth to be in God’s word, grasp it by your faith; and if it be unpopular, grab hold of it it like a fish hooks. If you are despised as a fool for holding it, hold it the more. Like an oak, take deeper root, because the winds would tear you from your place.

All this coming at you things change but we do not have to change

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Do not stop believing the truth

Hold fast the traditions

Do not give up your morals

The word tradition simply means “that which is handed down from one person to another.” The truth of the Gospel began as an oral message proclaimed by Christ and the Apostles. Later, this truth was written down by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and it became Holy Scripture

Do not go with the flow

God’s truth was not invented by men: it was handed down from God to man

Do not back off cool down

and each generation of believers had guarded this truth and passed it onto others

Do not quit working

Paul stated clearly the believers’ dual responsibility in guarding the truth: “stand fast, and hold the traditions”

Do not give in

Stand fast means, “Do not move away from the truth of the Gospel”

Do not give up your family to the world say that is just the way it is today.

When my wife and I visited the Tower of London and saw the royal jewels, we noticed that the crowd was kept moving, but the guards stood still. They were constantly watching the visitors and nothing could move them from their appointed places. You and I are helping to guard the “precious faith” and we must not be moved by the wiles of Satan or the praises of men.

Do not blame your problems on an evil society

If we stand, then we can hold.

Stand fast

I do not have to change what I am doing for the Lord because the day grows darker or the Coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

You make up your mind right now that, when the test of life comes, that you’re going to stick it out.

British hero, Wolfe, who on the heights of Quebec received a mortal wound. It was just at the moment when the enemy fled, and when he knew that they were running, a smile was on his face, and he cried, “Hold me up. Let not my brave soldiers see me drop. The day is ours. Oh, do keep it!” His sole anxiety was to make the victory sure. Thus warriors die, and thus Paul lived. His very soul seems to cry, “We have won the day. Oh, do keep it!”

Salvation, baptism , doctrine ,

We are looking for the coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ from heaven, and that he shall “fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory;” therefore let us stand fast in the position which will secure us this honour. Let us keep our posts until the coming of the great Captain shall release the sentinels

If you see a truth to be in God’s word, grasp it by your faith; and if it be unpopular, grab hold of it it like a fish hooks. If you are despised as a fool for holding it, hold it the more. Like an oak, take deeper root, because the winds would tear you from your place.

Do you want your kids to have this ? stand fast and hold what you have been taught turn off the TV and pass it along.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Two seperate videos kids in the church singing Jesus loves me this I know pass it along

Hold fast the traditions

Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

The word tradition simply means “that which is handed down from one person to another.” The truth of the Gospel began as an oral message proclaimed by Christ and the Apostles. Later, this truth was written down by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and it became Holy Scripture. This is not talking about man made traditions

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

God’s truth was not invented by men: it was handed down from God to man

A man does not wait patiently when he is low in spirit and weary at heart.

and each generation of believers had guarded this truth and passed it onto others

when everything is going wrong,

Paul stated clearly the believers’ dual responsibility in guarding the truth: “stand fast, and hold the traditions”

we jump at anything that will end the struggle So we do not have to deal with it any longer.

Stand fast means, “Do not move away from the truth of the Gospel”

Trailer title maybe the Lord will come back. Not because I want to see him but I want this persecution to end.

Hold fast to Salvation it's the only thing that can help people and deliver them from the spirit that now worketh the mystery of iniquity

It is occupying till he comes

Don't let It Go Don't Stop reaching it it doesn't matter how dark the night is let your light so shine there is no where in the Bible that says if it gets bad just give up

And when he comes back he will find you working patiently

If you go visited the Tower of London and saw the royal jewels, we noticed that the crowd was kept moving, but the guards stood still. They were constantly watching the visitors and nothing could move them from their appointed places. You and I are helping to guard the “precious faith” and we must not be moved by the wiles of Satan or the praises of men.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

If we stand, then we can hold.

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

I do not have to change what I am doing for the Lord because the day grows darker or the Coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

He said no guys go back to work do not be weary in well doing.

British hero, Wolfe, who on the heights of Quebec received a mortal wound. It was just at the moment when the enemy fled, and when he knew that they were running, a smile was on his face, and he cried, “Hold me up. Let not my brave soldiers see me drop. The day is ours. Oh, do keep it!” His sole wish was to make the victory sure.

Get to work.

That is how warriors die, and thus Paul lived. His very soul seems to cry, “We have won the day. Oh, do keep it!”

Salvation, baptism , doctrine , knowing there's a hell that people fall into

Knowing there's a race to be run

Being greatly committed to the Great Commission and the great commandment

Heb_10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

2Ti_2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Do you want your kids to have this ? stand fast and hold what you have been taught turn off the TV and pass it along.

Two seperate videos kids in the church singing Jesus loves me this I know pass it along

Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

She was not doing anything

When your heart right with God and be at peace, and he can quietly wait until Christ

What can we expect while we're expecting

We can expect everything to deteriorate around us

We're supposed to expect the Lord to come back

What can we expect while we're expecting

We can expect everything to deteriorate around us

And we can expect that the Lord wants us to hold fast and to keep the Traditions that we've been handed

Now want you to examine your heart have you been discouraged or have you been by the evil spirit have you been discouraged by people misusing scripture and telling you your back slit and if you keep on working.

And are you busy? Are you holding fast are you preaching the gospel? Are you patiently expecting the Lord to come back ? Will he find you working?
