1 | Why is 2 Thess. 2:7 mis-translated? | 2 Thess 2:7 | Taleb | 73125 | ||
Why do the Bible translators mis-translate 2 Thess 2:7? In every Greek translation I have, it reads, "For the mystery of lawlessness already is working, only he is holding back now till OUT OF THE MIDST IT COMES”. But the way it’s translated into English, it says "until he is taken away”. The “Strong” numbers 3319 and 1096 spell out exactly what the Greek renders. It makes a big difference. |

In my estimation Daniel 12:1 is in reference to the same time period as II Thess. 2:7 cf Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 Thes. 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. I think in the midst of the week is when the afore mentioned verses take place. Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. I believe that this is the time spoken of in Revelation 12. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. it is my understanding that the short time is three and one half years, which would tie these verses together. Jesus warns of the same time of great trouble in Matthew. Matthew 24:21-25 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [22] And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. [23] Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. [24] For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [25] Behold, I have told you before. Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Good afternoon, CDBJ, Your thesis offers much input. Rather than commenting about the connection you drew right now, I'll save it for another "fishing expedition". Suffice it to say, I know exactly where you’re coming from, and I do appreciate the effort you extended. Thank you. Keep them Bible pages turning. They offer abundant life. And, thanks for helping to make days nicer. Taleb |

Greetings Taleb, I have always been enthralled by eschatology along with it's minutiae. It’s only been in the last several years that most of my unanswered question, on future things, has been satisfactorily answered. The completion of a book by Robert Van Kampen has cleared up nearly all of my confusion. The name of his informative book is, The Sign, there is a highly condensed version by the title, The Rapture Question Answered Plain and Simple. This author, along with Marvin Rosenthal and his book, have cleared up more for me then all of the dozens of other books I have read on future events. There are many views on what will transpire in the future and all use their pet verses to back up what they say; it is all scriptural, but there are contradictions in their doctrine when compared to other verses. The key to Van Kampen’s understanding and clarification is found in Psalms. Psalm 119:160 (NASB) The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting. What this is saying is, all of the verses on a particular doctrine have to fit together or you have the wrong thesis. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
