THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST PART!
The man of sin is well the spirit which is made pass for Mary, the servant of God. A study of the verses of the passage 2 Thessalonians 2,1-12 confirms it to us.
Verses 1, 2 et 3: stress that the man of sin must appear before the return of Christ.
Verset 4: All the facts described in this verse were carried out astutely by acts mainly and much less by the word.
Indeed, the irreligious person (the adversary) which is an impure spirit, will not say openly: “I am above God†or “I oppose to Godâ€. It would be too easy, it would not succeed in misleading us! However, he will be put at the top of God by imposing to people the use of a qualifier.
Thus, “opposing and exalting himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped “(version King James of the bible) was made possible by the use of the qualifier: “mother of God†instead of saying “mother of Jesus, as a man†(according to what Paul affirms in Romans 1,1-3). (See also the document: Trinity or no trinity, the last paragraph of the Deepening part).
Though one restricts oneself to say that even if God has a mother, he remains God above all, let us know that by attributing a mother to God, one precisely opposes to his divinity, one removes this character to him to be supreme. It is also a way of putting someone (the one called his mother) at the top of him (God).
In addition, “to sit down in the temple of God†will only be possible when the Spirit of God is withdrawn completely from those which will start to transform the biblical truth. (Hebrews 6,4-6).
Because, indeed, we are the temple of God (1 Corinthians 3.16; Ephésians 2,21-22 and 1 Timothy 3.15). Thus here, It is not about a made brick temple, because such a temple will never be built again according to the prophecy of Revelation 21.22 (by the way, Revelation 11.1 speaks of the 2nd temple which has been destroyed into 70 by the Romans and presently on its square or its court is a dome built by Arabic, thus achieving Revelation 11.2. For better understanding read the document: Revelation 12).
The man of sin will thus come to sit down in us (temple of God) after myths and contrary things with the bible will start to be taught (2 Timothy 4.4 and 2 John, verse 9). The bible says those which will receive such preaching “did not receive the love of the truth†(2 Thessalonians 2.10). Thus, it is deliberately that God will completely withdraw from them (Hebrews 6,4-6) to let the man of sin settle (2 Thessalonians 2.11) and push them to total rebellion by practices such as: praying “Maryâ€, “saints†and angels.
A clear example in the bible shows how the withdrawal of the Holy Spirit (God) opens up the way for the manifestation of sin (1 Samuel 28.15). After God departed from him, Saul sin by calling upon Samuel who is a prophet died at the time. PLEASE READ AGAIN ALL THIS IMPORTANT PASSAGE: 1 Samuel 28,3-16.
NOTE: Some Christians will receive the Holy Spirit at the beginning to lose it definitively thereafter (Hebrews 6,4-6); others, on the other hand, who have never known the biblical truth, will begin their Christian life directly with the man of sin (2 Peter 2.14 and verse 18). However, among the latter, are people that will finally be saved and for that purpose, God says to them: “COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE YOU SEPARATE†(2 Corinthians 6,14-17). Also, they will obtain mercy like Paul because they sin ignorantly (1Timothy 1.13).
“Showing himself that he is God†or “to be made pass for God†will not be done while saying openly: “I am Godâ€. Indeed, the man of sin will proclaim himself God by pushing people to do acts such as:
- to build an altar to him
- to address prayers, praises, etc to him
- To make worships in his honor (Assumption, All Saints' day)
- Etc.
All these things one must reserve them for God alone as his servants, his people (Deuteronomy 4.19).
The man of sin (“Maryâ€) will proclaim himself God also by pushing people to recognize certain qualities in him which one finds in God or Jesus too. This comparison is recapitulated in the table hereafter:
Man of sin/ “Mary†God/Jesus
Heavenly Mother Heavenly Father (Luke 11,13)
Queen of heaven (is this not the goddess in Jeremiah 7,18? For Revelation 12 is not talking about Mary. See the document: Revelation 12). King of heaven (Psalms 11,4; Isaiah 6,5 and Revelation 17,14).
Immaculate Conception (dogma advanced by the pope Pius IX and supported by “Mary†during an appearance in 1858). Immaculate Conception of Jesus (Luke 1,34-35)
Co-savior Savior (Luke 2,11)
The gate that leads to God The way that leads to the Father (John 14,6); The narrow gate (Matthew 7,14).
Mediator Mediator (1 Timothy 2,5 and Hebrews 7,25).
Assumption Ascension (Acts 1,11)
Mother of the Church Head of the church (Ephesians 5,23 and Hebrews 12,2).
NOTE: Let us notice that in the case of “Mary†we do not have biblical references which attest her qualities. However, one easily finds them in the bimonthly leaflets: â€Echo de Marie Reine de la paix ». These are ideas that the man of sin succeeded in making germinate in our mind. And often, he himself had to appear and speak to us in order to convince the incredulous ones.
Also let us notice that the true servants of God, fear him, consequently, they do not seek to be glorified among the men. (Acts 14,11-18; Revelation 19.10; Luck 16.15 and Philippians 2.3). Only Satan, seeks glory and honors since he has always been the adversary of God, seeking to replace him.
Verses 6 and 7: These verses say that the man of sin must appear but he is retained; however, the mystery of iniquity acts already (verse 7). This means that his works are already perceptible, even if he has not appeared yet. This confirms that the man of sin is an impure spirit. Indeed, before appearing as “Mary†or “Christ†(Matthew 24.24) this spirit was already acted cunningly through certain Christians who certainly had the Holy Spirit but were gradually turning to the evil until losing this Holy Spirit completely (Hebrews 6,4-6; 1 John 2,18-19 and Ephesians 2.2): the mystery of iniquity was already working (2 Thessalonians 2.7).
Paul had denounced it during his ministry (2 Corinthians 2.17 and 2 Timothy 2.18) and had also predicted (2 Timothy 4,3-4).
Peter too had predicted it: 2 Peter 2,1-2.
Jude also had denounced it in Jude, verse 4.
NOTE: He who retained the appearance of the man of sin is the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of truth (John 14.17) certainly in order to give time to the true Gospel to be sufficiently revealed, because the appearance of the man of sin was going to be a STRONG DELUSION (2 Thessalonians 2.11 and Matthew 24.24).
Also let us note that when Christ came to live on earth he was disfigured (Isaiah 52.14), without beauty (Isaiah 53.2); he was not handsome with long hair like his statues and in the appearances.
Verses 9 and 11: The man of sin appears certainly by the power of Satan, but all this is done by the authorization of God; this is why verse 11 says it is a sending by God of a strong delusion. However, God will preserve his true servants from this delusion (Matthew 24.24 and Revelation 3.10).
It is not the first time that God acts like this. Indeed, in 1 Kings 22,19-23 God sends a lying spirit to speak through some prophets and deceive king Achab so that he can punish him because Achab first disobeyed him.
Verses 10 and 12: The man of sin will use “all deception of unrighteousness†(version King James of the bible) to mislead those who will deviate from the truth to turn to what is unjust or bad.
Indeed, all deception of unrighteousness are things such as:
1. Invoke the deads (the saints) or angels (Deuteronomy 18,10-11).
2. To make worships in honor of someone else (Assumption, All Saints' day) and not of God only (Isaiah 42.8)
3. To build altars to “Maryâ€.
4. To address praises to other people but not to God only (Ephesians 5.19).
5. To rebuild a tabernacle (see the document: Is it necessary today to worship in front of a tabernacle?)
6. To bow down in front of statues (Exodus 20.5).
7. To preach another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11,3-4) by saying for example that he acts in union with his “mother†Mary and that he is not opposed to the devotion to her (Isaiah 42.8).
8. To develop dogmas, doctrines such as: the assumption, Immaculate Conception of “Maryâ€, the existence of a purgatory, etc. However what does Saul say? He says: “Colossians 2,21-22â€.
Indeed, all these things are unjust or bad (2 Thessalonians 2.12).
“Stand therefore, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate righteousnessâ€
Ephesians 6,14
Indeed, here is the biblical truth:
1. It is God alone or Christ we should invoke or call upon: Romans 10.12; Colossians 3.17; Hebrews 13.15; 1 Corinthians 1.2; Zephaniah 3.9.
2. It is in spirit that one worships God (Jean 4.24) and not in front of a statue or a cross or a tabernacle or an image etc.
3. It is Christ only who should serve: Romans 1.9; Romans 14.18; Colossians 3.24.
4. It is Christ only we should preach: 2 Corinthians 4.5
5. Christ is the only mediator, there is no other mediator (1 Timothy 2.5 and Hebrews 7.25).
6. Holiness is necessary to see God (Hebrews 12.14). The purgatory does not exist. Indeed, what we should do is to pray for sinners as long as they are alive (1 John 5.16) and watch thus with all perseverance (Ephesians 6.18). However, it is not because one pray for them that they should also sin willfully (Hebrews 10.26 and 1 Peter 2.16).
7. Christ who is God, does not act in union with his “motherâ€. Because indeed, that does he say of Mary? his words are in Luke 8,20-21 and Luke 11,27-28. The family of Christ (God) is not physical but spiritual. Moreover, he announces any thing by advance to us (Isaiah 42.9; Matthew 24.25; Revelation, etc). However, nowhere in his word, one prophesied on his spiritual union with “Mary†to save people.
Let us end with some practical advice from Saul:
- 2 Thessalonians 2,15
- 2 Timothy 1,13-14
- Galatians 1,8-10
- Ephesians 5,6-14
- Hebrews 10,26-27
CONCLUSION
The man of sin described in 2 Thessalonians 2,1-12 and Revelation 13,11-18 already appeared indeed. He even made several appearances. Indeed, it is an impure spirit which took various shapesainly that of “Mary†and “Christ†to appear and mislead us. Then let us return to our only and single Master and savior, Christ.
The man of sin is well the spirit which is made pass for Mary, the servant of God. A study of the verses of the passage 2 Thessalonians 2,1-12 confirms it to us.
