"Who Opposes and Exalts Himself? The Devil"

And what agreement have the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God have said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also have highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That you 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 opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now you know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

2 Cor. 6:16;Phil. 2:5-16;2 Thes. 2:1-12;Mat. 16:26

The Lord Jesus humbled himself, He knew that He was God's Son but He did the will of God and God exalted him...God takes the foolish things of this world to confound the wise, and based things and things that are despised God has chosen. People are wondering who is the Antichrist or 666, one definition is he's a mystery that opposes God and exalts himself above all that is worshiped. God does dwell in his people...Amen. But this character wants to be worshiped, being a man. We know that he is the son of perdition, because God will take him out; but first, the son of perdition has a purpose to deceive, he is the devil. ("If you fall down and worship me (who is "me" but yourself) all will be yours"..the devil says, He is a liar and then where is your relationship with God; you can't love God and mammon. God is a giver of good gifts, but God deals with His people about Him and the good gifts, remember Abraham. The devil savors the things that be of men not the things that be of God., it is written "you shall worship the Lord your God and only he shall you serve"). If I gain any praise let it go to calvary, for with His blood, He have saved me, with His power, He have raised me, to God be the glory for the things, He have done...So let me live, His life, let it be pleasing, pleasing Lord to you...In Adam all die, but in Christ shall all be made alive. God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.  How can they worship God without a new spirit and the Holy Ghost? The Lord Jesus is of a truth a man that was resurrected, appearing before God for us. If they say, he is in the desert, don't go, or they say, he is in the secret place, believe it not, because like lightning come from one side of heaven to the other side of the heaven, so is the Son of man coming. We will meet Him in the air, and we shall forever be with Him. We walk by faith, live by faith and not by sight because we see Christ no more. Antichrist is Anti-Christ...(1) Anti Christ don't believe in Christ, (2) Anti Christ don't believe Christ is in God's people, (3) Anti Christ opposes Christians and want to be over them. But if you have heard Christ and been taught by Him for the truth is in Jesus, the hope of glory and the love of the truth...You are a child of God not a bastard, those that He loves, He rebukes and chastens, Thank God!!! Amen.
