          Luke 15:1-10

1 - Tax collectors and other notorious (to strict hebrew law) sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 So the Pharisees and the scribes (lawyers and so called experts) were grumbling, “This man welcomes sinners and even eats with them!” 3 So Jesus told them this parable - 4 “Who among you, if you have a hundred sheep and lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost until it is found? 5 And when you find it, you will be so glad that you will carry it home on your shoulder rejoicing. 6 And then you will call your friends and neighbors and say, "Let's celebrate! I've found my sheep that was lost." 7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others  who haven’t strayed away!” (And the lost one is looked for and found.)

     8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors and says, ‘Rejoice with me, I have found my lost coin.’ (Is not content to lose one.) 10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God each time a person turns to God.”

From New Testament Letters

          (In Order Written)

  ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10 ~

1 - Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to be easily upset or disturbed by people who claim the Lord has already come!

     They may say they heard this directly from the Holy Spirit, or from someone else, or even that they read it in one of our letters. 3 Don’t be fooled by what they say.

     For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man [anthropos] of lawlessness is revealed—the son (inheritor?) of destruction. 4 Who will oppose and exalt self above every so-called god or object of worship “so as for” in the temple of God, to be seated and set forth as God. (Highest power?) 5 Do you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you? 6  And now that which is holding back, you know, in order for his being revealed [apokalýptō] in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness [anomía - from A - "not" and nómos - "law" – properly, without law.. utter disregard for God’s laws] is already at work. Only the restraining at present until from out of midst/middle occurs. (What now holds back the agenda ..no longer in the middle of things. 🤔A repeating and happening trend?) (Chaos, lawlessness was already at work.. The Greek (and prone to mankind) idolizing of man (anthropos) called humanism? They also early on had a “from rock to life” theory.. which such produces humanism, the - man is highest - theory, not to be confused with humanitarianism.) [Some versions say “till he is taken out of the way” which actually would be “what is restraining is taken out of the way”. Many very sincere and genuine, of the remaining, tattered Christendom, believe this taken out of the way is the Lord snatching believers out of harm’s way. However there are other possible means of removal out of the middle of things. Jesus does, when he returns, snatch his followers, but I believe that to be 2Thes.1:8 when he “comes in a flame of fire inflicting [didontos - the word includes “allowing”] vengence” ((cause and effect..? The flames being he comes during fiery armageddon? Rev.16:13-16 and Mt.13:30 (as in when else does he come in flames?) Verse 7 says he comes with his mighty angels, elsewhere called holy ones. In other words, as the fire, the (thermonuclear+) bowls of Revelation, come ‘down’ the believers are snatched up, “on the last day” when the “dead” elsewhere called asleep “in Christ rise first” and together they all “meet the Lord at his coming”.)) [The mystery of lawlessness was already at work.. until what it is that holds it back is gone, in its proper time.] 8 Then will be revealed the lawless which the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth and abolish, render inoperative, by the appearing and presence of Him. (“With the breath of his mouth” - with Truth! for “God is a consuming/purifying fire”. And chaos/lawlessness rendered inoperative by the Lord’s presence.)

     9 Which the coming [of the lawless] is according to the working of the adversary in all sorts of marvels  [dýnamai] and signs and wonders (modern miracles?) of falsehood [pseudos - a falsehood, untruth, lie, from pseudomai - to lie; the New International Version says - “wonders to serve the lie”] (which “wonders and marvels” always makes me think - modern miracles and wonders to decieve) 10 with all wicked deception for those who are (in the role of?) perishing, having refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. [Believe it or not, but no where in the Bible does it say anyone perishes forever, but the word is aionios, which meaning includes “pertaining to an age”. From aion, root of eon, translated by flawed humans with strong, longterm, cultural preconceptions to read ‘forever’.]
