Good evening, everyone, I'm Fred Schwartzigger. We're here at Bible Chapel our Wednesday night Bible study, and we are finishing the wonderful epistles to the Testsalonians.
These were the one of the first letters of to this is written to those congregations are on the Mediterranean Sea.
The first being the pistol to the Galatians, but then shortly thereafter, followed by the first letter to Thessalonians, and maybe a year later, the second letter and the second letter consists of 3 chapters, and whereas the first letter the Main theme is
is the coming of the of the Lord Jesus Christ to meet His saints, the true believers in Him in the air, the church that he's built with his own life, and I will build my church.
The Lord Jesus says, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it, and then he comes with a shout to call his saints home with him, and that is sort of the main theme of first Thessalonians.
The second Cephalonians, second, that's Alonians.
It has the focus of the Lord coming back with his saints, the ones that were the Church and his angels, to meet, the, to be in on the earth with with the Lord.
And so this is the return of the Lord to the earth.
The second phase of his appearing, and so now we're at the end of the Thessalonians, and some interesting things to present hope.
The Lord will bless it. As we look at the chapter. If you have your Bible ready, we'll begin with.
Reading of the portion we're covering tonight.
And this portion begins in , or 6 of chapter 3.
So I have the new King James version. I'll read the dozen verses, and it says in verse 6, it says, but we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition.
he received from us.
Or you yourself know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you, nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with the labor and toil we worked with labor and toil night and day that we might not be a burden to any of you not because we do not have authority
but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.
Verse 10, or even when we were with you, we commanded you this.
If anyone will not work, neither shelly eat.
Well, we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but our busy bodies.
No! Those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work in quietness, and eat their own bread.
But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good, and if anyone does not obey the word of this epistle, note that person, and do not keep company with him, then he may be ashamed yeah, do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him.
As a brother, and then the conclusion, first 16. Now may the Lord of Peace himself give you peace always in every way the Lord be with you all the salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle so I write the grace, of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, all
Amen, and so far we bless the reading of your word.
Thank you that this epistle was preserved down these 2,000 years for us as a as an encouragement and an explanation.
Your plan, and as a command for how we ought to walk, and so we help each other in our fellowship here at Waltosa Bible Chapel, as we lift one another up in prayer, and have these prayer requests later on, and wish to be heard by your Throne of
grace, and be blessed once again by a study of your word.
So help us with your Holy Spirit, as we seek to.
Discuss this topic more thoroughly these verses, and we bless them in Jesus Christ. Name Amen.
So!
Yeah.
I'm pleased to say that today is Flag day.
Did you know that today's flag day? Yeah, it's national national holiday.
But it's a nationally recognized, and I think you might know that it all started here just north of Mowaukee and turn of the previous century.
When a school teacher said everyone asked it right. A essay about the United States flag, 18990, something.
And along the way got more and more speed over the years, and I think, by the middle of this century President Truman declared Flag Day as to be noted.
So here I am, in flag day mode with my army uniform, and I got a little best I can do in terms of military.
Acknowledgement of our country, and on this playing day, and so I think it's kind of appropriate, because in this section is that really in some respects has a military theme that we can enlighten and discuss as we go along here, and so
it was gonna be either Bill or me leading this class, because I think we're the only 2 veterans here who know something about the military and in particular about walking in step, as we learn the first for a few days of our military training.
So I began in Rotc and I don't see 1961, 1961, just out of high school into college and joined Rotc and kind of a miracle that I would do that.
But I did, and the first thing they did they had for Rtc.
They had, and drill on Fridays, and so every Friday morning we had to get this uniform on and walk across campus, and everyone could say and and and then you go to to the stadium or the the practice football field where they would have these somewhat
enthusiastic, and demanding 9 commission officers drill the cadets who were in Rotc.
I suppose it was to screen us, and to find out whether we could stick it out.
But I'm personally never like drill.
Yeah, I think it's because I'm right handed. And I kept thinking, well, you start with your right foot.
But no, you have to learn to start with your left foot when you, when the guy says March, you start with your left foot right is a contradiction in turn.
But anyway, I did that, and when I look back, and the whole experience, so that you know you do this for 2 years.
And then finally, after 2 years, if you're qualified, everybody was then they sign you in, and then you're sort of obligated for for your duty in your you know.
Official career starts then, when you sign the papers. So my junior year, and then I was on the irreversible course, more or less, to become commissioned, as is an army officer, and the whole thing, I think, for us for me and my family was really the beginning
of a divine appointment by the Lord, because, you know, in the army have been telling people the first time, and then when I went to Boot camp in the middle of my for for Riley, Kansas, before I was commissioned as an officer, I had to go
through the you know the training in the field for 6 weeks, 8 weeks, was it?
And the first day they lined you up, and they gave you all these.
The stuff. Put your arms on, soldier, and they give you your uniform, and then their hat, and then your all the things that the Government issues to soldiers.
And one real mean captain. He came along, and he pulled mic.
I had my cap on he put that cap on right, so pulled it over my eyes like this.
So I'm like this. And walking around, and not the perfect solutions at that point, and not very happy with my choice.
4 years earlier, to, to sign, to enroll in Rotc.
Huh! That was terrible. But one of the things they also said that if you know they issued your weapons and all.
But they said, If the one, if the army, wanted you to have a wife, it would issue you one right, and so I'm thinking, as I finally went into full-time active duty in 1968 now, that's and 7 years after I've started the whole process.
In 1961 that I thought, well, okay, I'm here now at Fort Benning.
By the way, they changed that to Fort Moore. Those of you who've been to around this country that's Fort Benning and Georgia, Big Infantry Base, and the Benning was a Confederate officer.
So they've changed that and theme of things, and and I'm still thinking, okay, maybe this is where I get issued.
The wife, and and then, 2 years later, after being assigned to Hawaii as a command headquarters for the unit, I was in the Intelligence Unit Army Intelligence, and we had trips to the Asia, and all that during those years of Vietnam and back and still no wife
and then you know all of this story, how I went into the German class as those leaving the army with 2 months left or so.
And I thought, Well, okay, I'll learn some German and and continue my civilian life as soon as I can, because I was ready to get out of the army, and they're on the sign was the teacher of the classroom is that Ruth Schwart figure.
Ruth Crawford. Sorry. Hmm I've been married a long time, so so it said.
Ruth Crawford, and what happened, I said, could this be the issue?
So talking about the what I'm gonna get issued.
And lo and behold this divine appointment was there for me in early 1970, and when we met and eventually got married, and here we are today Ruth and Alex and Neil and our family here at Walatos, the Bible Chapel, if it hadn't been for
rotc and the drill. In in 1961, and so forth, and my perseverance with it, despite my so what I do on on Fridays is a schedule, you know, in those days, I guess you can kind of pick your classes.
And when they would be in to sue your activities.
The first thing Friday morning, so I could go right there to drill with my gear on, and then come back to my my dormitory and change and get back into normal life and not be hounded by.
And especially I was grateful. In 1965 to be able to do that because it was pressure on on the military and all the changing things that were happening.
But yeah, I think.
I've been blessed by this study in first.
Thessalonians. Chapter 3. And I want to tell you that I used the couple of assembly based books in researching the thoughts.
Here one is called. The Bible commands where it has a page about this chapter, and then I think you're all familiar with who?
What the Bible teaches. This one was by TW.
Smith, who taught on second Thessalonians pretty interesting, incompetent presentation of of of a Bible study.
So we begin with the first portions of this, namely.
Verse 6.
And it's titled by this WA. Smith in what the Bible teaches.
It's called section one. Godly Discipline, and the first part is the disorderly and the Lord's command.
And so here we have, you know, a sense of of the military, cause. They don't make requests.
Oh, there's of their enlistees or their cadets, or they're even their officers.
They give commands, and that's what call Holy Spirit, and is doing here in the first.
The first few verses so, but we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks this orderly, and not according to the tradition which he or possibly they receive from us.
They so the military terms here, and is the command, and we're the brethren who are the people who are Christians are receiving this letter, and and then you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly.
And so what were they doing? They were they were not of following the the step they were not following in step with the rest of of the assembly, and the rest of the brother, and this is kind of the hard part.
Well, how are you? How do you know? Well, one way you can know, in a sense, here is you just sense, and you can see.
And then my drill sergeant could see that I wasn't a very good performer and drill.
Yeah, I was out of step often, and I certainly couldn't.
I wasn't very good at giving the orders either, but I had some friends.
They were crazy about this. And let's march and and they would drill and and one guy II knew just.
And in this drill field in Madison, just ripped me apart for being a slouch and not doing this right.
But yeah, I persevered and grateful. I did. Yeah.
So here it is in verse 6, and the I mentioned of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ is is important.
How emphatic, and how dramatic and how essential that is that this is!
This is just not a decision, and it is a divine suggestion.
He, he, the apostle Paul says it's in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oh, there's a word! What's a nice disorderly!
What does it mean to be disorderly, or walk? This sort of the Greek word is attack.
And I would like to just aggress for a bit about that word and tell you about another book.
We sometimes refer to in our elders meetings, and that's a book called Church Discipline, talking points was the theme of these booklets, and it was by our friend WH.
Burnett or Willie Burnett. He came and talked at our Speak conference.
Doesn't. Years ago. More than that, probably from Canada, Toronto, Canada.
We still are in touch with him. But he has a very helpful segment in here, called in the middle of a booklet called Matters of Discipline in the Local church matters of Discipline and and then he's got these 6 columns of types of Discipline that
would cause, you know, disciplinary action, and one would be the first one is unpremeditated where you just do something in your caught in a fault like it says in Galatian, 6 per the second.
One is the one I'd like to focus on called disruptive.
And, by the way, we have some of these in our track rack over here at the foyer, and I think also in in the reserve supply, disruptive, and under that column he needs that some of the words used are unruly disorderly title talkers deceivers.
And off, and then he also.
I have this he presents.
Hey? Persons! Let me just read a couple of the reference points.
So first Timothy, chapter 6, versus verse 3.
If anyone teaches otherwise, and does not consent to wholesome words, even words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to the doctrine which, according to God, according to godliness, he is proud, not knowing nothing is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words which come in me, which come from which come
envy, strife, reviling evil suspicions, useless wranglings, of men of corrupt mind, destitute the truth, who suppose such guidance is meant for gain from such withdraw yourselves.
What is the other one? The second one is verse from first, Thessalonians, 5, verse 14.
Now we exert your brethren, warn those who are unruly. Comfort.
The faint hearted a poll of the week. Be patient with all.
And then this section from second Thessalonians that we're studying.
And then concluding with first type, or from Titus, chapter chapter one, verse 10.
There are many insubordinate, both idle talkers, and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision whose circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped, and some Vert whole households teaching things which they ought not for the sake of dishonest gain so brunette
category is those under the column of disruptive, and they have different remedies.
Romans, 16, verse 17, says, note those, and avoid them, and we just read from the other passage from Thessalonians, warn those who are unruly in our passage.
You withdraw. And, Titus, those miles must be stopped, and then also in Titus rebuke them sharply.
So this is a suggested action under a church discipline situation which hopefully leads to a repentance and restoration.
Now you might be curious about the other 4 columns.
Another, one is personal, personal offenses, brother against brother.
This is the Matthew, 18 passage. Hi I can remember a situation where years ago was felt like we weren't applying Matthew 18 readily enough, for you know often enough in, you know, little things are things in in the Assembly world well, that's only one of
the columns is so if there's a is a disruptive thing, or a matter of requiring discipline doesn't necessarily mean it follows under the remedies posed by Matthew, 18.
So domestic is another one doctrinal that would be neglected.
One's family, doctrinal, which is another one in then moral, and so some of them are on this side, lead to.
If we don't get responses, we lead to excommunication.
In this context, all of which are desired and designed to lead to repentance and restoration.
And so may be so for for us as we think about folks who are disruptive.
And in this particular passage particular passage, who are walking disorderly attack goes tags, and so we look at their manner of life, and how their home, living.
And and we realized that they are not in step, and and we should deal with them.
No! Here's the whole thing also, when I look at my Bible I'm not seeing many notes or markings in this section of Thessalonians, and I think maybe might be the case.
If this is an overlooked passage, because the focus really is on the coming of the Lord to the earth and the day of the Lord, and those important passages and verses in the chapter 2 which are, you know, since the highlight of of Thessalonians, and so we think, well, this is
perhaps applies to the day of the Lord, and we're down here as as the Church under with the Lord and his angels ruling on the earth.
Perhaps, and and it doesn't pertain to us now in this day, because we're not, you know we're not having to react to the day of the Lord we'll participate in it.
But we are not. The focus of it as as the as a children of Israel. Israel.
Israel nation is is, I guess, and so we tend to.
Maybe ignore the the teaching, and it does get into concern about idleness and being a burden on the assembly there in this is before the had all these government programs like we have have today, with a different government remedies for every possible problem and plenty of money to to
slash around in the economy to try to solve them, and so maybe we'd think it's not as pertinent.
But I think the contrary point is that this passage, these dozen verses, has as much, has many versus nearly as the whole passage about the day of the Lord.
So it give some weight to to the relevance of of the section.
This is an important section that we still should try to understand, and in master and obey, we command you.
We gotta obey the commands, and the brethren are the are the Christians here?
But no walking disorderly, not according to the tradition which he received from us.
Are they received from us? So how? What tradition this is?
This is the early one of the early epistles, and the people who received it were, were being taught by Paul, but it was how how many traditions can you have after a few years of ministry, or in the first book, but
nevertheless, Paul was there with them, and teaching them and responding to them, and in first Thessalonians.
So we they saw him. They heard him, and they received letters from him.
So there's a composition of of a tradition that that that pertain.
And so well. What are the traditions, you know they're not stated here, really, but I think you can see that there would be traditions that we value in the entire Scriptures.
Yeah, that we take is our instruction from the Word of God and from the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And so, yeah, think about the assembly tradition.
That we how we meet in a New Testament principles.
Tradition. Would that be? What do you thinking about?
How about were they continued steadfastly in the Apostles?
Doctrine, and in fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers, those would be traditions.
Maybe these people weren't comporting with those traditions, even at that early stage, but nevertheless, the Holy Spirit instructed all to write this, which he did, and he transmitted it to the thistle and icons, and he came he calls it in epistle, this is an
epistle, so actually the word epistle occurs.
I read 17 times in the New Testament, which means letter, you know, and and 4 of them are in this epistle, so I think it gives a ratification of the authority of the Word of God, and and these things and traditions.
So seems like it would also give some latitude for application, and and to be able to recognize is that person in step.
Or is this something that needs to be considered under for Thessalonians? 3.
Someone who walks disorderly, not in step, not according to our traditions, which they which they received from us, which is, Paul is saying, from the Apostles.
And so here we have it. The first section here. So in verse 7, the orderly example is given.
You yourselves know that you, how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you.
We were not disorderly among you, so there's the same word.
Disorderly attack goes and I like to point out the word no, and that word in Greek is called the word is, who wea and Neil has a friend from from his youth who's running a company, and he calls his company with a certainty, and with
clarity and that's a great aspirational name to select for a company, and we appreciate that, or you yourself know how you ought to walk or to follow us.
So you remember that Paul says you know, imitate me, and I imitate Jesus Christ, as he says in first Corinthians 11, verse one, and so we're imitating the one who imitated the Lord Jesus who had this personal appearance to him in a vision.
and that close walk that Paul had over the years. And then it's just not, you know.
This is a suggestion, but the word is hot here in the new King James, or implying a necessity and not to be disorderly among you.
And then, of course, maybe the underlying theme here is not to eat anyone else's bread free of charge, but work with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you.
And so here we have the point that these people were probably taking the teaching about the Lord's return to the earth a little bit incorrectly, and thought the raptured happen in, and so let's just wait for the Lord's return.
And and why should we work? Because in the end, as John Maynard Keynes said in the end, we're all dead.
And so pointless to work that was not Paul's point.
It was not the Lord's point, he said, but work with labor and toil night and day.
That we might not be a burden to any of you, and what a great assembly!
That would be when we and everybody's productive in a way.
And call is so kind to say, not because we do not have authority.
He does have authorities as apostolic authority, but in order to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us, and so they could hear Paul, they could see him, and they could read him, and so they could hear Paul. They could see him, and they could read him. And he gave an example of how to live.
And he was a tent maker, and he didn't want to charge for didn't want people to hand out things to in the community of Thessalonica, and in another place it says he, minister, and we have to commend him for that.
Yes, here we are at the middle, verse, and I would say that Mr.
Smith says, this is the divine equation. Verse 10, of chapter 3, and it says, for even when we were with you we commanded you, we command you this.
If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. And what did what did he command him?
He commanded you this to keep the traditions.
Not? Who said? Dated in in a list like, maybe we have an x 2, 42, and other places, but they were aware of what the traditions were, and they could see when someone wasn't in step and the and in particular case not contributing to his own welfare, but as Dr.
Basil Jackson said, sponging off of others in his paraphrase of Thessalonians.
So if anyone will not work, neither should he eat. Don't sponge off of others, says.
And what is this? The divine, the divine?
The divine equation. Okay, Paul, practice what he preached, and he he!
He was an imitator of Christ I mentioned, and and there are many things.
He listened. This author writes in in what the button teaches many thing. I won't go into them, but many things that where Paul saw it to please, not men, but God in living a worthy life, and so those who are marching out of line
should know that there are traditions in teachings to honor and to to recognize.
Hmm. And so verse 8.
I give you this orderly example on verse 10.
Yes, he has authority to hmm. To command these things, and I just think that the fact that we don't have a you know, a real, specifically about walking disorderly specifically about traditions.
And and realizing who are, who is walking disorderly, gives some latitude for this listing that Willie Burnett shows under a disruptive matter that requires church discipline, and we we sometimes sometimes look at that alright.
I'm in in 11.
So this is where the disorderly are identified and exhorted, and it says, we hear there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner.
Again disorderly, not working all, but are busy bodies.
So they're going around talking, in causing a stir and getting people.
Agitated, and and this is not a godly thing to do.
And so Paul says, we command those who are such, those who are such we command and exhort like, and the word exhort is, uses the word pericleitos, which is a comforter, which is coming alongside, and helping so to get it right and through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Through our L. Jesus Christ. In the first verse we had here in in verse 6, it was in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
So by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. But here the word is through, or possibly in your translations in our Lord Jesus Christ, and so it's even more important than then.
Just well, not just, but it's more dramatic than someone who was declaring the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ is people who are who are part of the Lord Jesus Christ, who are obligated because of who he is their Savior and Lord and the redeemer that
they should, they ought to. They come, should accept the command, and receive the exhortation that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
Yeah.
Similar verse in first Calonians 4, says in verse 11, interesting the same verse number that we that you also aspire to lead a quiet life to mind your own business, and to work out and work with your hands as we comeed you so Paul was emphatic that you walk properly
towards those who are outside, that you may lack nothing. So there's a testimony to those who are outside of the fellowship outside of the brethren to be honorable, and to, as it says in for Theesalonians hmm to walk properly to those who are outside.
Right. No. Verse 13. But as for you, brother, and do not grow weary and doing good, anyone does not obey the word.
This epistle. Note that person, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.
Yeah. Do not count them as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
I have to like this portion because it encourages us once again to not grow weary, doing good.
You know some people have a a desire to seek the good, or to be the good.
But here's Paul is saying, don't! Don't become weary and doing good.
So I know we sometimes do get weary, and we wonder, you know, is all is worth.
It is, it is, you know, our persistence in our walk and our example.
We trust? Is anybody appreciating it? Is it making a difference in our assembly and among our fellowship?
And Paul's aortation is to the brethren.
Do not go weary and doing good, and I appreciate so much.
This group of Christian's here tonight who, I know, denied really good, grow weary and doing good, and I thank you for your contribution to us here at Bible Chapel.
And again the command, Theme, obey. Verse 14.
Infinite does not obey the word. In this Epistle.
Note that. And this is even stronger. Now do not and do not keep company with them.
And he may be ashamed. So this is another step in the discipline process.
Then, that the Lord, through the whole Spirit, rights to us.
Yeah, we should not keep company with him, and that they may be ashamed.
So maybe as people identify. However, someone who's disorderly.
And and not keeping the traditions, and they begin to withdraw than others could see some action here I mean, it doesn't say they always have to meet in the church and read a letter of reprimand.
Although that's been done. But it it does say, then, that the whole point is for repentance and recovery and restoration cause.
It does, it says don't call him as an enemy.
But admonish him as a brother. So such a fine line we definitely need the wisdom of the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit to help us to to make those disciplinary decisions decisions and actions, and may the Lord give us wisdom and grace in the many days ahead we trust
to do just that, to to find the right application, if necessary, for admonishing, exhorting, and commanding, that they obey the traditions and keep in step and.
And walk properly.
So!
Any questions about that segment. Before I conclude on the the conclusion.
Here last 3 verses.
So I wonder, you know, maybe you've got something.
Thoughts about this or experiences in in this personally, or in observations that might be of interest to talk.
But now we go to the benediction in the salutation.
After all this? And how does Paul end it? He refers to the Lord, and he calls him made the Lord of peace himself.
Give you peace always in in every way. The Lord be with you all, and.
And we remember from John, is it John? 14, or the Lord says, my piece I give to you, not as a world gives I give unto you, but my PI give you, and so he's the Lord of peace, and it says himself, tremendous invocation of of divine presence there to give
you peace always in every way, and the Lord be with you all.
So Ruth and I were at iron sharpens iron couple of weeks ago, and I mentioned in my knowledge, I think, about the main speaker who spoke on cultural intelligence and and he's from Dallas Seminary, and he his name was Darrell book.
I think back and when he got to one of these phrases, like always in every way in all, he would stop and say, What does it say?
It says all ball always, and so through his whole 2 or 3 messages that we heard we heard him do that little moment and get our attention that went a lord, says Hall, always. What does it mean?
You would say always every way, so pretty emphatic here in this verse 16.
Now may the Lord a piece given you peace always! And what a wonderful way to conclude that we have peace and not stress and strife!
And in our daily life we have so much of that. And in our interactions with people, we can't help but be affected by their stress in their their turmoil and their attack.
And we remember that we're in a spiritual battle with the enemy and the heavenly places.
And we have all these putting on the whole armor of God and the power of his might, and the sort of the spirit.
And so there's a battle. But.
Ultimately on our side. Always, all, every way, we have peace from Jesus Christ Himself.
The salutation of Paul for 17 with my own hand, which is assigned to in every epistle.
So I write. So here's this word epistle again.
It's stamping it with with the it's Biblical authority, and Paul made the point that he would sign this himself.
Now his what's the word? Ruth, honey? Said Animus, and a Mayus, the guy who wrote the thing out for him rolled it out.
But there was apparently an epistle that came to our letter that came to these people in Thessalonica.
That was hmm! That got them all stirred up.
Oh, Lord, come already, and you know there's no point, and everything got them all disturbed, and that's kind of the reason why Paul wrote second Thessalonians, and also why he emphatically says I wrote this one.
I'm signing it myself, and this this is my mark.
And so, Hi! Right great confidence we have there!
And the final phrase here, as he closes, says, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Be with you all. Oh, and the grace!
So peace and grace, and the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.
II love the way of call on this epistle tends to use the phone, at least in this passage section.
The full title of the Lord, the Lord Jesus Christ, who?
He is what he's done, what he's was promised to do is the Messiah, and he's not only full of truth but he's full of grace and don't we need grace every day in every way so I thank you for your attention and thank you for
letting me teach this.
Hmm!
Go ahead! More!
So with that we will probably turn the microphone off and list some prayer requests and have some prayers, and continue always in prayer.
So, father, bless our rendering of of these concluding verses and passages from the Epistle to Thessalonians.
Thank you for the woman who got saved there, and and even the Philippine has a Philippine jailer.
But anyway, the people who are saved and who wanted to no more about you and follow you to to the letter.
And so they did get the letter. The epistle, first epistle, and then the second Epistle to Thessalonians.
The Lord is coming with a shower, you know, the voice of an archangel and the dead in Christ will rise first.
We look forward to that day, and and then the Lord with us will return to the earth to rule into rain, and we are grateful to be part of your holy plan, and we aspire to walk orderly, and with according to the commandments, and traditionally, that
