1 Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him,
2 do not get upset right away or alarmed when someone claims that we said through some spirit, conversation, or letter that the »Day of Jehovah« has already come. (Isaiah 13:6) (Zephaniah 1:14) (2 Peter 3:10)
3 Do not let anyone deceive you about this in any way. That day will not come unless apostasy a falling away from truth takes place first, and the man of lawlessness sin, the man of destruction, is revealed. (2 Timothy 4:3)
4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship. As a result, he seats himself in the sanctuary of God and declares promotes himself to be like God. (Ezekiel 28:2)
