1
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Adonaï Yehoshwah Ha ’ Mahshyah, and by our gathering together unto him,

2
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 Ha ’ Mahshyah is at hand.

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;

4
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called Elohim, or that is worshipped; so that he as Elohim sitteth in the temple of Elohim, shewing himself that he is Elohim.

5
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

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 Adonaï 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.

11
And for this cause Elohim shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
