Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 21:8
21:8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
There are eight sins that bring man into the lake of fire and brimstone or perdition forever in hell as follows:
(1) Cowardly, (2) unbelieving --> against the righteousness, (3) abominable, (4) murderers, (5) sexually immoral, (6) sorcerers, (7) idolaters --> against the holiness,
(8) liars -->against the perfection
The eight sins block the new ambience until we cannot enter the New Jerusalem.
We learn the third point, namely abominable.
It refers to the despicable deeds.
The abominable means that one does not want to be shepherded.
2 Thessalonians 3:1
3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,
[2 Thessalonians 3:1-15] The abominable sin comes when the preaching of the teaching Words is growing and advanced in the midst of the congregation.
There are three meanings of the abominable sin as follows:
The abominable man can be found among the congregation but he can neither enter the new ambience nor the New Jerusalem.
2 Thessalonians 3:1-2
3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,
3:2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.
For that reason, we must be free from the abominable sin through worship prayer to God.
In the worship prayer, we see the glorious face of God, so we experience the life renewal from the carnal man to the spiritual one like Jesus is.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
3:16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.
The hard heart is changed into the gentle or peaceful one. This is the strong foundation to receive the power of God.
The results are as follows:
God blesses us.

[2 Thessalonians 3:1-15] The abominable sin comes when the preaching of the teaching Words is growing and advanced in the midst of the congregation.
There are three meanings of the abominable sin as follows:
- Unreasonable man.
2 Thessalonians 3:2-5
3:2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.
3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
3:4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.
3:5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.- It happens when there are vain words or gossips or slanders which weaken the faith until one refuses to listen the Words.
- It happens when there is envy because of the blessing and employment of God. It means egoism or self-seeking.
James 3:16
3:16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. - It happens when the head is woman and children.
Isaiah 3:12
3:12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths."
- It happens when there are vain words or gossips or slanders which weaken the faith until one refuses to listen the Words.
- Working that is not according to the Words or the true consecration. It is the same as disobedience.
2 Thessalonians 3:6-13
3:6 But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.
3:7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;
3:8 nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,
3:9 not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.
3:10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
3:11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.
3:12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
3:13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.
How great the man is, if he does not please God, he will be the same as the evil maker.
Matthew 7:21-23
7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
7:22 "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
7:23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
Thus, he will be expelled from the door of Heaven and perish forever.
It happens also for the servant of God who does not want to serve nor engage in the building of the perfect body of Christ, although he has been purified and blessed by Him.
For that reason, we must serve according to the true teaching Words. It starts from marriage, shepherding, inter-shepherding, up to the unity of the perfect body of Christ between Israel and the Gentiles. - Rejecting to be advised through the Words because of the hard heart.
2 Thessalonians 3:14
3:14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.
Titus 3:9-11
3:9 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.
3:10 Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition,
3:11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.
One cannot be advised, but lost, and he is getting the punishment until perishing.
The abominable man can be found among the congregation but he can neither enter the new ambience nor the New Jerusalem.
2 Thessalonians 3:1-2
3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

The hard heart is changed into the gentle or peaceful one. This is the strong foundation to receive the power of God.
The results are as follows:
- Satan is destroyed and we are free from the abominable sin.
Romans 16:20
16:20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
We keep on living in holiness and being employed in building of the perfect body of Christ.
We are free from the curse. The wind and waves are made calm. We feel calm, easy, and light. All impossible problems are solved by God. - There is guarantee of God's preservation.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Physically, God cares us in the midst of difficulties in the world. Spiritually, God cares us in the midst of sins and false teachings.
God blesses us.
