And then that lawless one will be revealed—whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of his coming— whose coming is in accord with the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of unrighteousness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.— 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10
When you say: "It Can't Be"... God will honor it, and it won't be!
And for this reason God sends upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.
— 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come.
Did John say that he was Elijah?— Matthew 11:14
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
— John 1:19-21
So, if John was not Elijah, what was his symbolic role?
And he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
— Luke 1:17
Is John a TYPE of the designated one, the true "Elijah" to come, making the way for the Father?
"Behold, I send my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming,
👉 says the Jehovah of hosts.
— Malachi 3:1
concerning His Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, who was designated as the Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
— Romans 1:3-4
Could that be why John (imprisoned) lost sight of the anointed one, now having to ask if Jesus was he?
Now when John in prison heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to Him, “Are You the One who is to come, or shall we look for someone else?”
— Matthew 11:2-3
When does "Elijah", in all reality, first come... one that is of Spirit and Power?
“As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove his sandals; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
— Matthew 3:11
Did it start (FIRST/HEAD) with Jesus (as human)?
You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
— Acts 10:38
Does he suffer and get treated with contempt?
And they began asking him, saying, “Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” And he said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man 👉 that he will suffer many things and be treated with contempt? But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”
— Mark 9:11-13
Will it end (LAST/FEET) with Jesus (in Spirit)?
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. — 1 Corinthians 15:25
“Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of Jehovah. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land, devoting it to destruction.”
— Malachi 4:5-6
When does the great and awesome day take place? (Revelation 19:1 - 20:15)
- Has that happened yet?
For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
— Matthew 24:21
Moses and Elijah... are types of WHO?
Moses: מֹשֶׁה Môsheh, mo-sheh'; from H4871; drawing out (of the water), i.e. rescued; Mosheh, the Israelite lawgiver:—Moses.
Moses: Drawn out of water... (Born Again)?
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
— John 3:5-6
Elijah: "My God is Jehovah" (Prophet)?
Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’”
— John 20:17
Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a PROPHET like me from your brothers; to him you shall listen to everything he says to you. And it will be that every soul that does not heed that PROPHET shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’
— Acts 3:22-23
- So, if the verse above is true and "one" who doesn't heed the prophet is destroyed, can we surmise the prophet is the Holy Spirit at the time of the end working through humans?
Do you not know that you are a sanctuary of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the sanctuary of God, God will destroy him, for the sanctuary of God is holy, and that is what you are.
— 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
- What is the only sin to incur death?
“Therefore I say to you, ANY SIN and BLASPHEMY shall be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
— Matthew 12:31-32
- Does God send prophets with the power of the Holy Spirit?
Pursue love, yet earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. —
But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?
— 1 Corinthians 14:1-2, 6
Brothers, do not be children in your thinking;
rather 👉in EVIL be infants, but in your thinking be mature.
— 1 Corinthians 14:20Do they (Moses and Elijah) REPRESENT the two witnesses that stand by Jesus who (in turn) represents the Father?
And Elijah appeared to them along with Moses and they were conversing with Jesus. —
Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!”
— Mark 9:4, 7
Could the two witnesses be representing Kingly and Priestly offices?
Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing by the Lord of all the earth.”
— Zechariah 4:14
- And I will give authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” — Revelation 11:3
- And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” Then they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them. And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past; behold, the third woe is coming quickly. — Revelation 11:12-14
True perspective, no mere man can give it to you, ONLY God can give it to you properly. Stop making excuses for yourself, justifying yourself and truly look at who you are inside and what you've done. Stop thinking you are above others and simply focus on self.
Most humans follow a false spirit, an EXALTED SPIRIT, it's all about self. Seeing what others do wrong but never seeing it in yourself. Thinking you are being kind when you are not. God keeps you blind to it because of your heart; it RESISTS the true Spirit of God.
Has the body of Jesus Christ been resurrected?
But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.
— 2 Timothy 2:16-18
How could that be if the body of Christ is the body of true believers?
Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it.
— 1 Corinthians 12:27
The full resurrection has not happened yet, as is the claim by the FALSE MAN-MADE CHURCHES. First to resurrect was the head, JESUS (firstborn of many), then... Jesus is last, ending at the feet, with the bride...two witnesses (heaven and earth). He then returns with the bride for his body... the true believers, the elect.
I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your seed.
— Deuteronomy 30:19
"Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be compared to ten virgins; the same took their lamps and went to meet the groom and the bride.
— Matthew 25:1 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English)
Awake virgins...
“But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
— Matthew 24:29-31
How many times does Jesus return?
“Gird up your loins, and keep your lamps lit. And be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find awake when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.
👉Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.
— Luke 12:35-38
What was the symbolism of "Mary Magdalene" being at the feet of Jesus?
G3094: Μαγδαληνή Magdalēnḗ, mag-dal-ay-nay'; feminine of a derivative of G3093; a female Magdalene, i.e. inhabitant of Magdala:—Magdalene.G3093: †Μαγδαλά Magdalá, mag-dal-ah'; of Chaldee origin (compare H4026); the tower; Magdala (i.e. Migdala), a place in Palestine:—Magdala.H4026: מִגְדָּל migdâl, mig-dawl'; also (in plural) feminine מִגְדָּלָה migdâlâh; from H1431; a tower (from its size or height); by analogy, a rostrum; figuratively, a (pyramidal) bed of flowers:—castle, flower, tower. Compare the names following.H1431: גָּדַל gâdal, gaw-dal'; a primitive root; properly, to twist (compare H1434), i.e. to be (causatively make) large (in various senses, as in body, mind, estate or honor, also in pride):—advance, boast, bring up, exceed, excellent, be(-come, do, give, make, wax), great(-er, come to... estate, things), grow(up), increase, lift up, magnify(-ifical), be much set by, nourish (up), pass, promote, proudly (spoken), tower.
Did she symbolize one who would be at the end (FEET), and first to SEE and HEAR Jesus' voice?
Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the FEET of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
— John 12:3
Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.
— John 20:1
Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to Him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher).
— John 20:15-16
Does she prophesy?
Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that he had said these things to her. — John 20:17-18
When does the resurrection take place?
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
— 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his FEET.
— 1 Corinthians 15:25
Raised according to what scriptures?
He will make us alive after two days;
He will raise us up on the third day,
That we may live before Him.
— Hosea 6:2

Excerpt:
4. John 20:14-16, 19, 22, 26 ➡️Psalm 45:14 Mary first to see Jesus, later awake virgins see Jesus by spirit, lastly the unbelieving, only by sight "those doubting" on the 8th day.
But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. — Matthew 12:36
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered and said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation eagerly seeks for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet; for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. — Matthew 12:38-40
For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, so that He might bring you to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
— 1 Peter 3:18
Aren't we still in "THIS GENERATION"?
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.
— Matthew 24:34
I pray for those reading this that your hearts are open to new understanding. 🙏 Keep in mind that if you say, "it can't be" then "it won't be". Bring it to the Father FIRST, be genuine in prayer, and do not covet what doesn't belong to you.
You must first go to the Father...
Trust in Jehovah with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
— Proverbs 3:5-6
NO ONE CAN COME TO ME
unless the Father who sent Me draws him;
and I will raise him up on the last day.
— John 6:44
