2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 A word of Warning, continued VERSE 9 continued, “Whose presence [shall be] according to an in working of Satan, with all manner of mighty work ad signs and wonders of falsehood.” (Rotherham Version) Comment: Gal 1:8 warns of a possible deception: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” The hypothesis is that the Adversary will materialize, that he will visibly...

The election of the New Creation “We have already seen that this election does not imply that the non-elect shall receive injury; but, on the contrary, that it implies the blessing of the non-elect in due time.
