Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 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 Christ is at hand. 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; 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. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4) 22 The god of this world today, the worshiped person of this world today, is Satan. And the people are ignorant of worshiping Satan, but it’s Satan impersonating himself as the church, see, as the church. They worship Satan, thinking that they are worshiping God through the church, but it’s the way Satan has done it. “Oh,” you say, “but wait a minute; we preach the Word.” 23 Look back here at my text, tonight. Satan was the one that preached the Word to Eve, first, “God hath said,” see. 24 It’s that misconstruing that part of the Scripture that applies to the day. He’ll let you know all Jesus did was perfectly well. He’ll let you know all that Moses did was perfectly well. But when you take the promises that They gave for this day, then That was applied to another age. That’s just all he has to do, see, is to get the people to believe It that way, and that—that’s all. For, “You cannot take one Word away from It, or add one word to It.” But that’s what he does. 25 People, ignorantly worshiping Satan, thinking they are worshiping God; as we are warned by prophecy, in Second Thessalonians. That, let’s just read that, Second Thessalonians, the 2nd chapter. Let’s just get it a moment, if I can, right away. I’d like to read that. Just, I believe, Second Thessalonians. I got the Scripture here. In Second… Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of the Lord Jesus…and by the gathering together unto him, 26 Now, see, “the coming of the Lord, and the gathering to Him,” as God will gather His people to Him in the last days. “The gathering of the people to the Lord,” not to the church, “to the Lord; gathering together unto Him.” That ye be not soon shaken in your mind, or…troubled— troubled, neither by spirit, nor…word, nor by letter as from us, as…the day of the Lord is at hand. 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 (“man of sin,” watch what he is now), the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, (that was Judas, see); Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 27 That deceitfulness of the church of today! See, “the son of perdition,” the devil. “The son of perdition,” the devil. Then, people worshiping Satan in this day, thinking they’re worshiping God. But they’re worshiping him through a creed, a man-made denominations and creeds that’s brought the people right down to the greatest deception that the world has ever knowed of. No matter how much the Word of God promised for this day, is preached and vindicated, they still won’t believe It. They won’t believe It. 28 Then why? We wonder why. Why doesn’t it; why won’t they believe It? When God said He would do a certain thing, and He does it, and still they turn their back from it and turn away from it. Just as Eve knew that what God said, God would do; but she turned her back on it, to listen to what he had to say. 65-0829 - "Satan's Eden" Rev.
