King James Version (en)

2 Thessalonians, Chapter 1,  verses 10-12

1 St. Paul certifieth them of the good opinion which he had of their faith, love, and patience, 11 and therewithal useth diverse reasons for the comforting of them in persecution, whereof the chiefest is taken from the righteous judgment of God
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians, Chapter 2,  verses 1-2

1 He willeth them to continue steadfast in the truth received
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 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.

2:1 Our gathering together to him - In the clouds.


2:2 Be not shaken in mind - In judgment. Or terrified - As those easily are who are immoderately fond of knowing future things. Neither by any pretended revelation from the Spirit, nor by pretence of any word spoken by me.

End of the World

Luke, Chapter 14,  verses 25-35

25 Those who will be his disciples, to bear their cross, must make their accounts aforehand lest with shame they revolt from him afterward, 34 and become altogether unprofitable, like salt that hath lost his savour
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

14 


14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father - Comparatively to Christ: yea, so as actually to renounce his field, oxen, wife, all things, and act as if he hated them, when they stand in competition with him. Mat 10:37.


14:28 And which of you intending to build a tower - That is, and whoever of you intends to follow me, let him first seriously weigh these things.


14:31 Another king - Does this mean, the prince of this world?Certainly he has greater numbers on his side. How numerous are his children and servants!


14:33 So - Like this man, who, being afraid to face his enemy, sends to make peace with him, every one who forsaketh not all that he hath -

  1. By withdrawing his affections from all the creatures;
  2. By enjoying them only in and for God, only in such a measure and manner as leads to him;
  3. By hating them all, in the sense above mentioned, cannot be my disciple - But will surely desist from building that tower, neither can he persevere in fighting the good fight of faith.


14:34 Salt - Every Christian, but more eminently every minister. Mat 5:13; Mar 9:50.
