That's a good lesson for all occasions. Whatever event causes your mind to race with thoughts and lose sight of Jesus Christ should always be calmed down by yielding ourselves to God. We should always ask God for inspiration and help with everything that we encounter. He is fortress so when we find ourselves within a mental frenzy, God is the place to run.

Atheists and agnostics would say our faith is irrational, we believe in a man in the sky. I love what pastor John says about rationality, our faith is driven by it. It makes sense that there's a GOD. It makes sense that HE gave us HIS only son and that through HIM we are saved.

Thank God Mr. Piper has rescued Reformed Theology from the Preterists! God has not abandoned us brothers and sisters, nor left us to our own devices, but will lead us through this sea of words straight to His throne of glory!

When we ask jesus to fill us with the holy spirit with faith with hunger and thirst, he will fill us!

I completely agree with John Piper that Matt 24:4-6 (and similar verses in the Gospels) refers to both the first century AND a later time.
And the same can be said of some of the other verses in Matt 24 too.

John 3:16 KJV: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Paul for sure knew about what was spoken in Matthew 24…
This is obvious seeing how Luke disciples under Paul which is where Luke would’ve learned about the prophetic destruction of the temple seeing how he also wrote about it in Luke 21.

Also, even though I think both Matthew and Paul were speaking specifically about the events that would take place in their generation (AD70) I agree with piper that the principality of Paul’s teaching here can be used in the actual second coming and really most worries that we have here.

Almost every lesson and prophecy in the Bible has multiple fulfillments in principle (also in specificity). This is the whole concept of the duality of reality

I suppose it would be too hard to ask about the "why" portion of keeping our heads sound and alert. He would only need to read out the very next verse of 2 Thess 2 in order to begin a more complete study on what the "deception" might be.

But then that might cause too many questions as it relates to a pretribulation rapture.

1Pe 1:13 "Therefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober-minded, set your hope fully upon the grace being brought to you ** in (en) ** the revelation of Jesus Christ, " The Greek word is "en" and means "in" as a place/location, not "at" some future point in time. I do not believe the revelation of Christ spoken of here is the 2nd coming. I think it is the revelation of Christ we receive in the here and now at his appointed time when it pleases him. We are to set our hope on that. .

Who is the second coming of Christ?

The existence of "duality" in the Lord...

It is said, "the word of the Lord is a two-edged sword...one edge is at one side, and the other edge is at the opposite side...so we have a sword with two sides or edges which are actually opposites...this is the very foundation of the word of the Lord, it is no wonder that words that seem to be "adversaries" are actually bosom buddies...

The book of job had it stated clearly,

Job 12:16 (ESV)
16 With him are strength and sound wisdom;
the DECEIVED and the DECEIVER are His...

Take note that both words DECEIVED and DECEIVER are opposites...you will notice also that one is the recipient of the action of the other...in this regard, they are inseparable and they are essential parts of the works of the Lord...men should not put them asunder...the Lord made them one, and had them dwell in one body which is the temple of God...

One great example are the words, "Christ" and "antichrist"...christ is at one side of the sword of the Lord while the antichrist occupies the other side of the two-edged sword of the Lord which is the Word of God...

As you can see now, the Christ and the antichrist are bosom buddies for they dwell together in the word of the Lord—this is the so-called "mystery of Christ" foretold in the Book of Revelation, that Christ has a companion, his opposite...

The antichrist which the whole world is calling as their enemy is, in reality, the other self of Christ or his alter ego...if Christ had been a friend of sinners once, he will be returning as the enemy of sinners, and this second time he shall destroy sinners and their evil works...this is why Christ has an "anti" prefixed to his name, he shall go against the world of sins and sinners, and shall annihilate all their evil works...

If one man hates this antichrist, he is actually hating Christ for this antichrist is the second coming of Christ...this is now the revelation of that "mystery of Christ"...
