Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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; I believe that, to a large extent, this has already happened, and that the “man of sin” has been revealed. This “son of perdition” has had a long, dark, and terrible reign over myriads of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. It has been said that the Pope of Rome is infallible, that his interpretation of Scripture, whatever it may be, is as valid as the Scripture itself, and that whatever he chooseth to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

When...

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

Only he who now letteth 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...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. How the apostle loved the gospel!

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. “The things which we have handed out to you, which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.” They had heard Paul preach; he had not only written to them; but he had also spoken to them; and he bade them treasure up...

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Finally, brethren, pray for us, “Pray for us,” says the apostle, “pray for myself and the brethren who are with me, pray for all the apostles and preachers of the Word.” “Finally, brethren.” If this were the last word we had to say to you, we would make just this request, “Finally, brethren, pray for us.” You cannot tell how much God’s servants...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: A most important request. What can the ministers of the gospel do, if their people cease to pray for them? Even if their own prayers be heard, as they will be, and a measure of blessing be given, yet it will be but a scant...

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. All men are not candid, or true: “all men have not faith.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. I really do not know which is the worst to put up with — an unreasonable man or a wicked man. A wicked man may do you all sorts of mischief, but you soon know him. But an unreasonable man — you do not know where to find him, and he can attack you from all...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. And the Lord direct your hearts — You see, Paul does not command the Thessalonians to do anything but what he can pray God to work in them. The command of a man, by itself, is nothing, but...

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. Our obedience to apostolic ordinances should be of the present and of the future.
