"BUT THE COMING OF THAT WICKED MAN
IS THE WORK OF SATAN". (2 Thess 2:9 NEB).
QUESTION: Why would that composite wicked "man" claim that "the Day of
the Lord is already here"? What was their purpose in doing so, and what
is the name of this "man"? The only sect known to have made such a
bold proclamation worldwide are those falsely calling themselves
'Jehovah's Witnesses'.
Why? To mislead using this declaration to give them authority. They have published and
distributed many "powerful signs and miracles" worldwide in an
attempt to mislead God's chosen ones, if such a thing were possible. (Matt 24:24 NEB). These "signs" were given power by satan.
Couched among
their many apostate publications are these so-called "miracles",
often accompanied by satanic expressions of their "delusion", such
as the following:
'Reflecting on the (new) congregational arrangement providing for elders and
ministerial servants, Roger Morgan was moved to say: "This is God's doing."
Doubtless others will agree, since they may have considered the resulting
benefits. The first shifting of responsibilities began in September 1972, and by
October 1 the arrangement of things in most congregations had been adjusted.'
(1975 JW Yearbook). This statement describes their removal of God-given
responsibilities from Spirit anointed sons of God ! The real objective of
house to house preaching by JWs has been to locate and spiritually destroy
Spirit anointed sons of God, even though preaching of the "good news"
has already been "brought to a finish". (Rev 10:7)
(Matt 23:15).
Being envious of anointed ones, their "deliberate choice" has been
for self glory satanic wickedness
"revealed in human form". The desperation of satan is now
apparent: "Woe to you, earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you
in great fury, knowing that his time is short!" (Rev 12:12 NEB).
For when all of the 144,000 anointed sons of God have been gathered to heaven,
it signals the abyssing of satan and the annihilation of all members of that
"wicked man" the "disgusting thing" "standing in a holy place"
whether
still alive at The Christ's arrival or waking from death to the reproach of
"eternal abhorrence". (Dan 12:2 NEB. Matt 24:15).

"And now, brothers, about the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ and his gathering of us to himself: I beg you, do not suddenly lose your
heads or alarm yourselves, whether at some oracular utterance, or pronouncement,
or some letter purporting to come from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord
is already here. (1)
Let no one deceive you in any way whatever. That day cannot come before the
final rebellion against God, when wickedness will be revealed in human form, (2)
the man doomed to perdition. He is the Enemy. He rises in his pride against
every god, so called, every object of men's worship, and even takes his seat in
the temple of God claiming to be a god
himself. You cannot but remember that I told you this while I was still with
you; you must now be aware of the restraining hand which ensures that he shall
be revealed only at the proper time. For already the secret power of wickedness
is at work, secret only for the present until the Restrainer disappears (3) from
the scene. And then he will be revealed, that wicked man whom the
Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth, and annihilate by the
radiance of his coming. But the coming of that wicked man is the work of
satan. It will be attended by all the powerful signs and miracles of the Lie, (4)
and all the deception that sinfulness can impose on those doomed to destruction.
Destroyed they shall be, because they did not open their minds to love of the
truth, so as to find salvation. Therefore God puts them under a delusion, which
works upon them to believe the lie, so that they may all be brought to
Judgement, all who do not believe the truth but make sinfulness their
deliberate choice." (2 Thess 2:1 12 NEB).

(1) JWs
claim the Day of the
Lord began in 1914.
(2) Apostate
witnesses of satan.
(3) By
the unscriptural ostracism
and excommunication of Spirit
anointed sons of God.
(4) The
Lie (1):
Expressions
inspired by demons.
(See Rev 16:14).

(4) "The Lie": Changing the "times and
Law" of God to effect the
usurpation of The Christ's anointed brothers in his congregations. This was
augmented by "lying signs and portents" and the public declaration
of false interpretations of the fulfilment of holy prophecies of
God. (2 Thess 2:9,10. Dan 7:25).
