Sunday's lesson was taken
from 2nd Thessalonians the
second chapter. The subject
was "The Coining Man of
Sin".
Our lesson, in fact, gives us
more of the timing of events
at the Rapture than any other -
scripture in the Bible.
The lesson, however, deals
precisely with the Antichrist,
the coming "man of sin. All
that Paul wrote here was to
give the Thessalonians an
understanding of some of the
terrors of the last days. He
assured them that they would
not be a part of the "great and
terrible day of the Lord." but
that they would be taken away
before that notable day
comes.
Paul began his direct an
swer to the Thessalonians'
fears by reminding them of
the "coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ," describing it as "a
gathering together unto
Him." He advised the Thes
salonians not to be shaken in
their mind or to be troubled
not to be unduly disturbed
neither by the prevailing
spirit of their day nor by any
word or letter to which his
name might have been forg
ed.
The Thessalonians evident
ly had received a letter,
purportedly signed by Paul,
informing them that the time
of Tribulation terror was
already upon them. Since the
Thessalonians were at that
time enduring unprecedented
persecution, it was not diffi
cult for them to believe that
they were suffering the hor
rors of the last days.
Paul instructed them not to
be deceived by the things that
were happening; for , as he
assured them, the great and
terrible Day of the Lord would
not come without some tell
tale signs. The first of these
signs would be a "falling
away", which has been var
iously interpreted, mainly as a
falling away of Christians
from the faith. But this term
may be more accurately de
fined as a general apostasy
from the Christian faith, a
general failure of the world to
believe that Jesus indeed was
the Son of God or, more
pointedly, a revolt against
God and Christianity.
The second of the signs that
would signal the beginning of
the last days' tribulation
would be the coming of the
"man of sin," or the "son of
perdition." The coming of the
man of sin will follow fast
upon the falling away from
Christ.
The mystery of inquity was
already at work in the day of
Paul, and both he and the
early Christians evidently
thought that the coming of
Christ was at hand. If the
mystery of iniquity was at
work in Paul's day, then how
much more is the same
mystery at work in our day.
Before the Antichrist is
destroyed, however, he will
?? ???' '
uu his work in die spirit ot'
Satan himself and will be
?We, st least far a time, to
show his "powers and signs
?nd lying wonders." He will ?
deceive those who do not have
Christ in their heart, who
have not received the know
ledge of truth, who have not
been saved by the grace of
God.
Paul further warned that
those who persist in sin, who
do not believe in Christ, will
sink deeper into rebellion
against God until God will
finally send them a "strong
delusion, "perhaps in the per
son of the man of sin himself,
that they will believe the lies
of Satan and be lost. They will
believe not in the truth, but
have pleasure in unrighteous
ness; and they will go down to
destruction.

Dianna Blue announces the
Vacation Bible School will
begin Monday the 24th at

THOUGHT FOB TODAY
Remember, Jesus is con
cerned about the needs of his
people. He uses human hearts
and hands to meet their
needs....Every Christian has
something God can use to
minister to others....God can
multiply the supplies that's
given in his name...A church '
ministry is not complete
unless it ministers to both
body and spirit...Please Pray
for us at EverGreen.
I would like to give a
big thank you to all the staff at

great work you're doing. My

We praise God for another

the Church and we give hbn
all the glory. Qqr lesson
Sunday "The Coming Man of
Sin". As we look out we can
know that the man of sin is
working today. Let no man
deceive you by any means; for
that day shall not come,
except there came a falling
away first, and that man of sin
be revealed. God gives us
ample warning through the
Scriptures so no one need be
deceived. A knowledge of
coming judgement should mo
tivate the sinner to turn to
God.. Paul warned and re
minded the Thessalonians of
the force of evil in the world.
But praise God if we have
Jesus living in our life we can
over come all forces of Satan.
God said we could, and I
believe him and his words.
The world of evil may have its
day, but the time will come
when God says "It is enough"
So, the really important ques
tion is "Are you on God's
side?" Paul told Timothy,
that in the last days perilous
times shall come, for men
shall be lovers of themselves,
covetous, boasters, proud.

parents, unthankful, unholy,

God: having a form of godli
ness, but denying the power
thereof: from such turn away.
(2 Timothy 3:1-5)
" Knowing therefore the ter
ror of the Lord, we persuade
men, judgement is sure, it
behooves us to be prepared
for it. We again thank God for
his many blessing, we praise
God for our visitors Sunday,
then Sunday night we had

Sadie Oxendine and family in

through a lot of trouble, but
God has been good to her and
we feel that God is going to
take her through this burden
she is carrying for the loss of
her son. Please pray for her.
She has been an outstanding

Baha'i Persecutions
Continue
The Baha'i Community has
received word here of still
more acts of persecution
directed against the religion's
followers in Iran, including
another execution. The execu
tion of Ihsanullah Khayyami,
a man described by Baha'i
officials as "a person of
humble means," was carried
out on April 12 in the village
of Urimiyyih.
According to Mr. Robert
Tansik, chairman of the Ba
ha'i Teaching Committee of
Central North Carolina, Khay
yami had been imprisoned for
three months prior to his
execution, during which time
he had been under intense
pressure to recant his faith.
Khayyami was executed when
authorities became convinced
that he could not be forced to
deny his religion, according to
Tansik. His execution brings
to 114 the number of Baha'is
known to have been executed
or who have disappeared
since the current Iranian
regime began its systematic
campaign of persecution
against the 3,000,000-mem
ber Baha'i religious minority
there.
Intimidation designed to
force the Baha'is to deny their
religion has increased in
recent months tt> inclodd the
burning and looting of homes,
confiscation or destruction of
Baha'is properties, cemeter
ies, and holy places, and
torture and execution of Ba
ha'i leaders throughout Iran.
Presently, Baha'is in the
village of Saysan near Tabriz
are under extreme pressure to
deny their faith, having been
given 28 days to convert to
Islam or face grave conse
quences. All the Baha'is of
Hisar village in the northeast
province of Khurasan are
refugees in the provincial
capita] of Mashad, having
been forced to leave their
homes.
And although a few Bah'is
have been released from
prison during the recent
amnesty, many more Baha'is
have been arrested and im
prisoned, including nine in
Qazvin, seven in Shiraz, five
in Tehran, seven in Sari and
one in Zanjan. Scores of
Baha'is remain imprisoned
throughout Iran, most of them
being held without charges or
trials. According to Tansik,
Iran's oppression of Baha'is is
aimed at the extermination of
the Baha'i Faith in that
country where the religion
began in 1844.
The Baha'i Faith is an
independent world religion
which teaches the oneness of
mankind, the equality of men
and women, and the elimina
tion of all forms of prejudice.
Baha'i officials cite these and
other Baha'i teachings as
threatening and offensive to
the clergy-dominated govern

"I enjoyed it," said Mrs.
Norma Scott of the Union
Chapel area. "I have only
served since March...! wish I
had known about the program
at the beginning of the school
year...I could have been help
ing all year." Mrs. Scott was
discussing her feelings on the
volunteer program of the
Robeson County Community
Schools Program.
Mrs. Scott stated that she
became aware of the need for
help in Mrs. Ruby Watts' first
and second grade combina
tion class at Union Chapel
School. "My son came home
one day and told me that the
aide was out sick," she said.
"He said that Mrs. Watts
needed assistance in the class
room and I wanted to help."
Mrs. Scott is married to
Charlie Scott and they've
resided in the Union Chapel
area for S'A years. Mr. Scott
is a lineman for Sumpter
Builders. Mrs. Scott is
originally from Indiana. She
has bein unemployed for over
a year because of a lack of
work. They have 3 children,
two who are grown and
married and one who is a
second grader at Union Chap
el School.
Mrs. Watts, the teacher
Mrs. Scott assisted, had no
thing but praises for Mrs.
Scott and the volunteer prog
gram.
"She's wonderful," she
said. "It was very nice to have
her. It is wonderful for some
one outside the school to come
in. The kids enjoy a new face
and responded really well to
her. They relate to her really
well."
Mrs. Watts continued,
"Mrs. Scott was not only good
with the students, she was
a dependable person. If she
said she was going to be
there...she was always there.'
Mrs. Scott volunteered her
services every Thursday, all
day long. She worked in what
ever way she was needed. She
worked one on one with the
students who needed special
help. She has in excess of her
50 hours of volunteer time
required by the Governor's
Office for recognition under
the Adopt-a-Schools program
which comes under the auspi
ces of the Community Schools
Program. Archie Oxendine,
directs the program for the
Robeson County School Sys
tem.
Mrs. Watts summed up the
volunteer and the program
very well when she said, "She
works hard and was a lot of
help to us. 1 wish other
parents would volunteer...
We have really been blessed
with her."
Mrs. Scott summed up the
feelings of a volunteer's re
ward when she said, "I
received my reward when I
saw the smile on the child's
face when the realized he'd1
learned something."
