Keep us from malignance


2 Thess. 3:3, “But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil (malignancy)”

Been noticing lately that the verses in the bible read so much different in the Greek. They seem more in tune to what I perceived witnessed in my spirit.

“Evil” in the above scripture is πονηρός ponēros. It means, “bad in effect, malignant.” Another definition of malignant is “tending to produce death, as bubonic plague.1

“Keep” means “to guard or keep watch.”

The Lord, our faith High Priest, in the order of Melchizedek, “King of Righteousness”, Heb. 3:1, 4:14, 5:10, establishes us in Him by His grace, faith and revelation of Him in us. The establishment in His nature, even righteousness, guards us from the malignancy of the judgment and penalty of self-imposed law! He guards and keeps us from the effects of sin because of the completeness of His work that was before the foundations of the earth. He keeps us from death and condemnation because we have been separated according to the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus making us free from the law of sin and death, Rom. 8:2. Our inner man is ever-renewing now outside of time according to Him, His grace, Living Word and revelation of Him. HE ESTABLISHES US in HIM, in life, His life, in light which darkness cannot overtake or comprehend.
