In his second letter to the Thessalonians the prophet Paul wrote concerning the parousia, saying of it: “At the time when he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones and to be regarded in that day with wonder among all those who exercised faith.” Elsewhere, namely in his letter to the Romans, the apostle referred to the revealing of the sons of God. Needless to say, the revealing of the sons of God will come about as a result of the revelation of Jesus to them.
John, who was on the mountain when Christ was transfigured before them, wrote in his first epistle: “Beloved ones, we are now children of God, but it has not yet been made manifest what we will be. We do know that when he is made manifest we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is.” – 1 John 3 verse 2
Considering the context of Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians concerning the parousia, Paul issued a warning regarding the operation of Satan as the source of authoritative pronouncements and apostolic-like letters declaring that the presence has begun and the Lord’s day is here. Then, the apostle prophesied and gave us a vital bit of information regarding a crucial development that must take place first before Christ appears. Again, what is that? Read it: “Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction.”
The pronoun “it” is in reference to the parousia. And the apostasy must take place immediately before the presence and manifestation of Christ. Jesus referred to Judas as the son of destruction.
I then took this part:
In his second letter to the Thessalonians the prophet Paul wrote concerning the parousia, saying of it: “At the time when he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones and to be regarded in that day with wonder among all those who exercised faith.”
I then said that you are talking about Jesus’ presence/parousia and citing a Scripture that shows that that is when he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones. I then went on to say look what happens when you look at the full context and not just the part that you isolated out of it:
[7 But you who suffer tribulation will be given relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels 8 in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance on those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. 9 These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 10 at the time when he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones and to be regarded in that day with wonder among all those who exercised faith, because the witness we gave met with faith among you.]
This coming of Jesus’, RK places at his #2, at the start of the 42 months. This is critical for him to place it there because he is hell bent to support his notion that Jesus has a so-called presence with his chosen ones prior to his coming at Armageddon.
This is why he uses verse 10 alone, to try to make the time ‘Jesus comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones’ a totally separate earlier even before his coming at Armageddon.
Why he also says:
Elsewhere, namely in his letter to the Romans, the apostle referred to the revealing of the sons of God. Needless to say, the revealing of the sons of God will come about as a result of the revelation of Jesus to them.
But the context of ‘the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels’, ‘when he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones’ shows that relief is being given to those that suffered tribulation and also everlasting destruction is being given at that time to those that did not obey the good news. This shows that the timing of this coming has to be after the 42-month tribulation of the 8th king when Jesus comes at Armageddon.
I then took this part:
Then, the apostle prophesied and gave us a vital bit of information regarding a crucial development that must take place first before Christ appears. Again, what is that? Read it: “Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction.”
The pronoun “it” is in reference to the parousia. And the apostasy must take place immediately before the presence and manifestation of Christ. Jesus referred to Judas as the son of destruction.
Then I cited full context of Scripture he used:
[2 However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you 2 not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here. 3 Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction.]
I agreed that YES according to what is written, is states that before any presence/revelation/manifestation/coming of Jesus to gather his chosen/be glorified in connection with his holy ones could happen, that the said MOL and apostasy from him must come first. I reiterated that the said presence/coming/revelation of Jesus from heaven with his angels to be glorified with/gather his holy ones, shows to take place after the 42-months of the 8th king at Jesus’ coming at Armageddon, which cannot be disputed based on the context of being giving relief from the tribulation and bring everlasting destruction on the disobedient ones at that said coming of his.
I then said that being that that coming is after the 42 months then what about the fact that I understand and agree that the said MOL/apostasy has to come first before Jesus will come to gather his chosen/be glorified in connection with them.
I cited Scriptures that have to do with the KOTN. Now keep in mind that RK agrees here on this point that the KOTN and 8th king are the same entity during this time of the 42-months. I reminded that with the 8th king during this time is the time of the MOTB, which he knows and agrees. So now I go on to show that in regard to the KOTN is says:
[ 31 And arms will stand up, proceeding from him; and they will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and remove the constant feature.“And they will put in place the disgusting thing that causes desolation.32 “And those who act wickedly against the covenant, he will lead into apostasy by means of smooth words. But the people who know their God will prevail and act effectively. 33 And those having insight among the people will impart understanding to the many. And they will be made to stumble by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plundering, for some days.]
There it states that there is an apostasy the KOTN leads. So since we agree that the 8th king and KOTN are the same entity and this is the time of the 42 months with the MOTB, then the apostasy that is said to be lead by the KOTN must have to do with the MOTB.
So by all shown so far it means that the apostasy the must come first before Jesus will come, takes place during the 42 months and then Jesus comes. Therefore the MOL has nothing to do with the WTS but instead is also the same entity as the 8th king/KOTN.
All I asked of him to answer is if he thinks that the WTS is wrong with what they teach and he calls them out on it, then if he thinks that what he teachs is true then can he answer the following:
[7 But you who suffer tribulation will be given relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels 8 in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance on those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. 9 These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 10 at the time when he comes to be glorified in connection with his holy ones and to be regarded in that day with wonder among all those who exercised faith, because the witness we gave met with faith among you.]
What tribulation are they receiving relief from?
Based on the context, does the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels take place at the start of the 42months of the 8th king or after at Armageddon?
If the apostasy is clearly said to be lead by the KOTN and that is during the 42 months having to do with the MOTB, and if you don’t think the MOL is the same as the KOTN/8th king, but instead is your beloved WTS, then what is the said apostasy that is to come from them (WTS) that you think comes first, before Jesus comes and the 42 months start when another apostasy is said to come led by the KOTN?
I went into greater detail there how the MOTB is the apostasy having to do with either worshipping Jehovah and refusing the 8th king during the 42 months or supporting the 8th king and there by rejecting Jehovah which is the apostasy. But here I am not going to go into that detail because I know many here don’t even believe in the Bible. I just wanted to show what RK wouldn’t answer and why he banned me and deleted what I wrote/asked.
Because he knows that if he ever admits that the context shows that the ‘revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels’ takes place after the 42 months, then he can’t keep claiming his erroneous notion that there is a said coming/presence/revelation of Jesus prior to his coming at Armageddon, something that the WTS teach to this day and RK has his own version of, so just like WTS/GB, he lies to retain that notion. He also won’t admit that the apostasy that has to come first before Jesus will come is the said one that comes from the KOTN/8th king during the 42 months. The reason he won’t admit to that and insist that there two different apostasy’s that follow each other back to back, is because he is hell bent on claiming the MOL is within the WTS so that the apostasy connected with the MOL must take place somehow with the WTS first, then is followed by a second apostasy with the MOTB.
Additional of Frank’s view that RK deleted:
8th king = KOTN = MOL
putting into holy placeexalts = sit in the temple exalts
judgment apostasy = judgment apostasy
comes to his end when Jesus comes
= comes to his end when Jesus comes
