Comments by Joan Boney:
II Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
God will destroy the world, but Jesus will destroy the churches who "fell away" from various scriptures when HE comes.
This is justice because it was the antichrist churches who removed portion of scripture eliminating Jesus, the Word, destroying Jesus, in their churches.
When they removed scriptures and set up another doctrine other than the doctrine of Christ, they removed the restraint which had been keeping antichrist out of the churches.
II Thessalonians 2:3-4 NASB No one is to deceive you in any way! For it (the return of Jesus) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 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.
6 And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only HE (Jesus The Word) who now restrains will do so until He is removed. 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;
Paul warned the elders in Ephesus:
Acts 20:29-30 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
They "killed" Jesus in the churches when they removed scripture and changed the meaning of the scriptures.
So it is justice that Jesus would be the one who destroys those church groups, which HE will do, with the brightness of HIS coming.
***
The apostate churches removed many scripture such as the following:
They sanctioned adultery inside of their own church groups by removal of scripture.
And the people in the congregations loved it that way.
They did not hold to the instruction given to the church by the Holy Bible.
Thus they killed Jesus and denied HIS shed blood by denying HIS doctrines.
Jesus will destroy them with the brightness of HIS coming.

And in the day of judgment they will be turned away by Jesus.
Matthew 7:21-27 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Revelation 16:5-6 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
As the Jews hung Jesus on a cross shedding the blood of Jesus, the churches of the apostasy today killed Jesus, The Word, by removing scriptures and changing the doctrines of those scriptures allowing sin in the churches today and destroying themselves and their congregations, crucifying Jesus afresh.
Jesus will destroy them, these church groups of the apostasy, with the brightness of HIS coming in the day of the Lord when Jesus returns to gather HIS elect.
