2 Thessalonians 1 & 2

Lord Jesus, when you are revealed from heaven with your mighty angels, you will, with flaming fire, take vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey your Gospel. These are punished with everlasting destruction from your presence and from the glory of your power.

When you come in that day, you will be glorified and admired among all those who believe. Before that day, there will be a falling away, and the man of sin will be revealed. He is the son of perdition, and he opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as god. He claims to be god.

Even now the mystery of lawlessness is at work, only you, Holy Spirit, restrain it until God, our father, removes your restraint. Then the lawless one will be revealed for a time. After that, you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, will consume the lawless one with the breath of your mouth and the brightness of your coming.

For now, Lord Jesus, you love me and give me hope. You comfort my heart and establish me in every good word and work.
