To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From; GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper,
that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]

1 Thessalonians 4:1–8 (CJB) 1 Therefore, brothers, just
as you learned from us how you had to live in order to please God, and just as
you are living this way now, we ask you—indeed, united with the Lord Yeshua, we
urge you—to keep doing so more and more. 2 For you know what
instructions we gave you on the authority of the Lord Yeshua. 3 What God wants is that you be holy,
that you keep away from sexual immorality, 4 that each of you know
how to manage his sexual impulses in a holy and honorable manner, 5 without
giving in to lustful desires, like the pagans who don’t know God. 6 No
one should wrong his brother in this matter or take advantage of him, because
the Lord punishes all who do such things—as we have explained to you before at
length. 7 For God did not
call us to live an unclean life but a holy one. 8 Therefore,
whoever rejects this teaching is rejecting not a man but God, indeed, the One
who gives you the Ruach HaKodesh, which is his.
1 Thessalonians 4:9–14 (ESV) 9 Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write
to you, for you yourselves have been
taught by God to love one another, 10 for that indeed is what
you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you,
brothers, to do this more and more, 11 and to aspire to live
quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we
instructed you, 12 so that you may walk properly before outsiders
and be dependent on no one. 13 But we do not want you to be
uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as
others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died
and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have
fallen asleep.
1 Thessalonians 4:15–5:6 (The Living Bible) 15 I
can tell you this directly from the Lord: that we who are still living when the
Lord returns will not rise to meet him ahead of those who are in their graves. 16
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a mighty shout and with
the soul-stirring cry of the archangel and the great trumpet-call of God. And
the believers who are dead will be the first to rise to meet the Lord. 17
Then we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up with them
in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. 18
So comfort and encourage each other with this news. 1 When is all
this going to happen? I really don’t need to say anything about that, dear
brothers, 2 for you know perfectly well that no one knows. That day
of the Lord will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. 3 When
people are saying, “All is well; everything is quiet and peaceful”—then, all of
a sudden, disaster will fall upon them as suddenly as a woman’s birth pains
begin when her child is born. And these people will not be able to get away
anywhere—there will be no place to hide. 4 But, dear brothers, you are not in the dark about these things, and you
won’t be surprised as by a thief when that day of the Lord comes. 5 For
you are all children of the light and of the day, and do not belong to darkness
and night. 6 So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Watch
for his return and stay sober.

reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy Spirit of the Living God to
give you the interpretation. 2
Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16
For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told
you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been
eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received such honor and
glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him
a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight.” 18
we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that
sacred mountain. 19 So we have the message of the prophets more
certainly guaranteed. Please pay
attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until
the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 because
you recognize this truth above all else, that
no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21
for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by
the Holy Spirit spoke from God.]
