2 Thess 2:7
7
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at
work; only He[d] who now restrains will do so
until He[e] is taken out of the way. 8 And then the
lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord
will consume with the breath of His mouth and
destroy with the brightness of His coming.

13. The 2 mysteries at work
2. Mystery of Godliness
1 Tim 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery
of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached
among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

14. Both mysteries are consistently at
work till both are wrapped up at the
end of the AGE

15. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his
disciples came up to him to call his attention to its
buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I
tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every
one will be thrown down.” 3 As Jesus was sitting on the
Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell
us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be
the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

16. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
4
Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.
5
For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the
Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars
and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed.
Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
7
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various
places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

17. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
9
“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put
to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of
me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and
will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets
will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the
increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13
but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

18. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the
whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the
end will come. 15 “So when you see standing in the holy
place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a] spoken of
through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—
16
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17
Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything
out of the house.

19. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
18
Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How
dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and
nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place
in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great
distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until
now—and never to be equaled again.

20. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
22
“If those days had not been cut short, no one would
survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be
shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here
is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For
false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform
great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the
elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

21. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
26
“So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the
wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner
rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes
from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the
coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass,
there the vultures will gather.

22. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
29
“Immediately after the distress of those days
“the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]

23. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
30
“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven.
And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when
they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,
with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels
with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect
from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the
other.

24. End Time Signs
(before Jesus Second Coming)
Matt 24
“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its
32
twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that
summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things,
you know that it[e] is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell
you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all
these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass
away, but my words will never pass away.

33. Matthew 24 (NKJV)
36
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the
angels of heaven,[e] but My Father only. 37 But as the days of
Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38
For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the
flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming
of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field:
one will be taken and the other left.

34. Matthew 24 (NKJV)
Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken
41
and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know
what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the
master of the house had known what hour the thief would
come, he would have watched and not allowed his house
to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be READY, for the
Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
