would be judged at the appearing of the Lord. Their judgment would include their being

excluded and removed from being partakers of the glory of the Lord which would be
revealed IN those believers who were found faithful.

II Thessalonians 1:9-10

And these will pay the penalty of age-lasting destruction, away from the presence of
the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes to be glorified in His

saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed -- for our
testimony to you was believed.

We see clearly in this passage that Paul is speaking of the day of the Lord’s return.

Contrary to what many believers expect, Christ is to be revealed IN His holy saints at His
next appearing, not in the clouds of the sky as many teach. The scriptures do say that Christ

will return in the clouds, but He is first to be revealed in His saints as Paul describes here.
As we will see, these ones who will have the glory of the Lord to rise upon them (Isaiah 60:1,

2) will be the remnant that constitute the Bride of Christ.

Returning to the scripture passage in II Thessalonians, we see that Paul is speaking
of the day of the Lord’s return in His saints. Paul then goes on to describe what will occur
just before this day.

II Thessalonians 2:3-4
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes
first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and

exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat

in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

The key to understanding this passage is discerning what temple Paul is referring to.
We know that Yahshua completely fulfilled the Law and by His sacrifice He abolished the

need to anymore keep the ceremonial law. This ceremonial law was primarily focused on
the temple which was located in Jerusalem. The passing away of this temple built of wood

and stone in its function of being the location where God would meet with man was
immediately demonstrated at Christ’s death by the veil of the temple barring the entrance
