The knowledge of the Truth shall be preached in this coming time which shall deliver those who are in the “prisons” of religious-sounding men who have used their flattering tongues to lead many astray from having love for one another….the commandment of God.
But those who will love to be FIRST ….having the preeminence among church men …shall exalt themselves and prate against with malicious words any who will receive the brothers who will preach that Truth and against any who will receive it. The “man of sin” shall reveal himself with his evil speaking of others who will receive the love of the Truth. The flattering tongue (Babylon) falls away as the “beast” ascends out of the bottomless pit….the heart that is full of evil….and speaks all kinds of evil. They will be allowed to continue for a short while but they are to go into perdition….as the man of sin is the son of perdition.
Revelation 17:8 KJV
(8) The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
And all of those who “dwell on the earth”….those who will NOT mortify their members (tongues) which are upon the “earth”: covetousness, uncleanness, etc, will have pleasure in those who will use their mouths for evil.
Colossians 3:5-8 KJV
(5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
(6) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
(7) In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
(8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Although knowing the judgment of God for doing such things, they not only will follow after the beast’s pernicious ways but shall also have pleasure in their hearts for those who do them. They give up the natural use of the “woman”…the tongue…which is supposed to be used for having love for others…and will burn in lust for others who do the same.
Romans 1:32 KJV
(32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Babylon falls and becomes a haunt for every unclean and hateful word….as the flattering tongue disappears and is replaced with hatefulness.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 KJV
(3) 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;
Those who love to be first among their churches will exalt themselves in their pride and evil speaking as they will exercise their authority over others….preventing others to receive the love of the Truth so that they might be saved. They love to be called “father”, “teacher”, “master”……pastor, reverend, etc. We only have ONE Father in heaven whom we are to glorify when we hear His voice. Let us not “nourish” those who love to be first by glorifying them over our Lord and Savior. We glorify men who love to be first with their flattering titles.
Diotrephes loved to have the preeminence among men as he forbid others to receive the Truth. “Diotrephes” means “nourished by Jupiter” . “Jupiter”…the “supreme deity” of the Romans…. means “sky father” of “father god”. We can not honor man over God with their flattering titles in the face of the hearing of the Truth. We can not wish them “Godspeed”….that is, rejoice….as we show ourselves partakers of their evil deeds. The “man of sin” will oppose the preaching of the knowledge of the Truth and will demand that others not receive it as they will exalt themselves. They will exercise their authority over their subjects who will glorify their positions with their flattering titles in the face of the Truth.
(4) 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.
(5) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
It is US that withholds the “man of sin” that is to be revealed. God will not destroy the righteous with the unrighteous. As long as we sit with them, they will not speak evil of us….but the day we leave their company, then the flattering tongue will become a vicious mouth of evil slandering and false accusations: calling all those who will leave “evil doers”.
(6) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
(7) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
(8) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
(9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
(10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
Lot “lingered” in Sodom…but God was merciful as they were taken by their hands and led out. The same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. The tongue is a FIRE…a world of evil. The day when we leave them, it will “rain” fire and brimstone with evil words in the air…which God hears.
Luke 17:28-32 KJV
(28) Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
(29) But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
(30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
We are not to take anything with us....none of their covetous teachings, commandments, traditions, etc. Let us not return evil for their evil.
(31) In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
(32) Remember Lot's wife.
Let us not shrink back with fear….let us come out of Babylon so as not to share in her evil speaking (sins) and her plagues.
Hebrews 10:38-39 KJV
(38) Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
(39) But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Let us suffer for righteousness’ sake and not be afraid of their terror, neither be troubled.
1 Peter 3:14-17 KJV
(14) But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
(15) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Let us be ready always to give an answer to every man for the reason of the hope that is in us with meekness and fear…..even though they will speak evil of us as evil doers. When we depart from their company, perilous times shall come.
(16) Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
(17) For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
