OrthJBC - II Thessalonians - 2

2:1  We ask you, Achim b'Moshiach, concerning the Bias Moshiach (the Arrival/Coming of Moshiach) Yehoshua Adoneinu and our being gathered together to him [Moshiach],

2:2  that you not become too hastily disturbed from your mental composure nor frightened either by a ruach or by a dibbur (saying) or by a iggeret (letter), as if from us, saying that the YOM Hashem (AMOS 5:18) has come.

2:3  Let no one in any way lead you astray, because, unless the Mered (Rebellion), the [Anti-Moshiach] Shmad, the Ma'al Defection, the Azivah Desertion, comes rishonah (first), and the Apocalypse of the Ish haMufkarut (Man of Lawlessness), the Ish haChatta'ah Ben haAvaddon (Man of Sin, Son of Destruction) is unveiled...

2:4  I'm referring to the one setting himself against and exalting himself AL KOL EL (DANIEL 11:36), above all that are given the appellation "El" or "avodat Hashem," with the result that he sits down in G-d's own Beis Hamikdash, proclaiming that he himself is Elohim (YECHEZKEL 28:2)...

2:5  Do you not recall that when I was still with you I was telling you these things?

2:6  Yet you know what is restraining now, so that he [Anti-Moshiach] may be unveiled and revealed in his own time.

2:7  For the sod haMufkarut (mystery of lawlessness) is already working; only he who restrains just now will do so until he is taken out of the way.

2:8  And then the Ish haMufkarut, the Lawless One, will be revealed, whom HaAdon [Yehoshua] will destroy by the RUACH (YESHAYAH 11:4) of His mouth and will wipe out at the epiphany of his Bias (Parousia).

2:9  The Bias of the Anti-Moshiach is according to the working of Hasatan with all false koach and otot and pseudo-moftim,

2:10  and with all deception of resha (wickedness) for those who are perishing, because they did not accept the ahavat haEmes so that they be delivered.

2:11  And for this reason Hashem sends to them a powerful madduchei shav (delusion) al menat (in order that) they believe what is sheker.

2:12  This is for the purpose of condemning to Onesh all the ones who have no emunah in haEmes, but instead have had delight in resha. THE BECHIRAH OF THE BIKKURIM FOR THE GEULAH AND THE FAITHFUL SHOMRIM OF MOSHIACH'S TORAH

2:13  But we ought always to offer todot and make berachot to Hashem concerning you, Achim b'Moshiach ahuvei Hashem, because Hashem chose you as bikkurim for the Geulah through kedusha of the Ruach HaKodesh and emunah in haEmes.

2:14  This is haEmes to which Hashem called you through our Besuras HaGeulah to the obtaining of the kavod of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua.

2:15  So then, Achim b'Moshiach, stand fast and hold fast to the [orthodox Jewish] emunah, the Moshiach's torah that was handed over and transmitted to you, which you were taught whether by dibbur (saying) or by our iggeret.

2:16  Now may haMelech haMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu Himself and Elohim Avinu, who has regarded us with ahavah (agape), and has granted us nechamat olam (eternal encouragement) and tikvah tovah (good hope) by the unmerited Chesed of Hashem--

2:17  May He give chozek (strength) and encouragement to you in every mitzvah (good deed) you do and in every dibbur (saying) you utter.
