INTRODUCTION:

Upon Paul’s first release from prison, he conducted a preaching tour of those churches he had started.  Upon reaching Ephesus, he was alarmed to see the condition of the church which had been under attack by false teachers.  In hopes of reviving the church, Paul left Timothy behind to pastor the work.

Following this brief time of freedom, Paul was again arrested, but with entirely different conditions.  His first imprisonment was under house arrest while his second imprisonment was in a damp dungeon. This imprisonment was expected to be his last for Paul felt that he was going to die.

In this letter the Apostle Paul calls Timothy his “dearly beloved son.”  He writes to this dearly beloved son shortly before he is martyred.  He is admonishing Timothy concerning his ministry after the coming death of the Apostle Paul.  Actually, he is saying, “Timothy, I am leaving. I want you to take up where I left off.  Carry on my work.”

Second Timothy is Paul’s last will and testament to his son in the faith, Timothy. Paul wrote his final advice, encouragement, exhortation, and warning to him. The last words of Paul instructed Timothy as a soldier in the spiritual battle for the faith (2 Cor. 10:3-6; Eph. 6:10-20). A faithful soldier seeks to master his spiritual weapon in the sword of God (2:15; 3:16-17).

Paul gives timothy four additional charges to the twelve of the first epistle. Timothy was first ordered to continue in the godly heritage of his mother and grandmother. He was ordered second to be a faithful, pure, strong, and tough soldier of Jesus Christ who continually studied the sword of the Spirit (Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12). The third charge warned of perilous times and evil men. The final charge ordered Timothy to faithfully follow the commands of the Captain of his salvation and finish the fight until death or the Rapture (Joshua 5:13-15; Heb. 2:10).

This letter was the final inspired letter of Paul before his execution by beheading. He was a prisoner of Rome under the administration of Nero (1:8; 16-17). Roman dictators in prison, persecuted, and martyred Christians. Nero secretly began the burning of Rome and blamed it on the Christians. Evil tyrants secretly cause social turmoil and blame it up on their scapegoat to incite the people in the wrong cause (1 Kings 21:1-14; Luke 23:1-5; Acts 21:27-40).

The alert soldier and student of the word discerns the doctoral truths that were prophesied of the last days (3:1-7; 4:3-4). World tyrants under Rome’s influence will secretly cause social turmoil and they will blame nonconformists of hindering the global community of the new age. The religious clones of socialism will encourage the people to give up their liberties for peace and safety against the fanatical nonconformists (John 19:11-15).

Apostasy of the pastor breeds apathy in the people and anarchy in the nation. Faithful soldiers fight apostasy, apathy, and anarchy with an authoritative sword of God until the end.

2 Timothy 1:5    When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

The honest and sincere faith of parents affects their children. Children discern insincerity and hypocrisy and their parents. Faith with no basis in fact is an imagination of a false hope.

 

2 Timothy 1:7    For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

A sound mind is firm, healthy, reasonable, strong, and founded in truth (1 Cor. 2:16).

 

THE THINGS THAT PAUL WANTS TIMOTHY TO BE.

 

1. A soldier.

2 Timothy 2:3‑4     Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4          No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Paul admonishes Timothy to fight.  He is to be a soldier for Jesus Christ.  He warns him not to entangle himself with the affairs of this world, because no soldier entangleth himself with the things of the enemy.  He keeps himself separate from the enemy in order that he may go to battle against him.

The ministry is like armed combat, athletic contests, and agricultural labor (Amos &:14-15; 1 Cor. 9:24-27; 2 Cor. 10:3-5; Eph. 6:10-20).

The Apostle also reminds Timothy that a good soldier tries to please Him who chose him to be a soldier. And infantryman of Jesus Christ needs a tough hide to endure the warfare and a tender heart to please his Captain (1 Chron. 12:8; Heb. 2:10).

In Ephesians 6:11-17 we have the uniform of the soldier. The wise teacher could bring a soldier to class and dress him with these things; or, he could use the blackboard to draw a picture of a soldier with his armor. (Note to teacher: Discuss everything that a soldier is supposed to do and be, and apply it to the Christian life. For example, the soldier is supposed to wear a uniform; a soldier fights; a soldier stays in shape; a soldier is obedient to the commanding officer, etc.)

 

2. Husbandman.

2 Timothy 2:6     The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

The husbandmen was the one who took care of the vineyard.  It was he who saw to it that the vine bore fruit.  In other words, the Apostle Paul is saying to Timothy, “Bear fruit.”

 

3. Athlete.

2 Timothy 2:5      And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

Notice the words, “strive for masteries.” What this really means is, “run in the Olympic games.” (Teacher, mention all the things that an athlete does and is, and compare them to the Christian.   For example, the athlete trains, is separate from certain practices and eating habits, runs with all his might, desires to win, is watched by a crowd, etc.  Notice in Hebrews 12:1, “so great a cloud of witnesses.”  All of the saints in Heaven watch those of us who continue serving Christ on earth.)

 

4. Student.

2 Timothy 2:15‑16     Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

16       But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

The inspired word study is removed from all of the new Bibles since 1880 and the inspired word dividing is removed from most of the new Bibles since 1880. The scholars of Alexandria as Jehudi’s penknife removed the only command in the holy Bible to study the pure words of the Scriptures (Jer. 32:23). Study to discern the contrasts between statements in order to fully understand the proper divisions in the Bible. There are three different recipients of the words of God (1 Cor. 10:32) and there are seven different baptisms, covenants, judgments, mysteries and resurrections throughout the Scriptures (Ex. 24:6-8; 1 Cor. 2:13-15)

2:16

The perfect infantry man is honorable, prepared, sanctified, and usable for the service of God. Humility and holiness proceed honour.

 

5. Vessel.

2 Timothy 2:21     If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

(Teacher, take a vessel, a glass, a cup, a flower vase, or something of that nature to class.  Discuss the importance of the vessel.  The vessel is no good if it leaks. The vessel is no good if it is dirty.  The vessel is no good unless it contains what it is meant to contain.  We are vessels for Christ.  The perfect infantryman is honourable, prepared, sanctified, and usable for the service of God. Humility and holiness precede honour (Prov. 4:7-9; 15:33; 21:21; John 12:26).  The Apostle Paul was called a “chosen vessel.” We are to carry forth the Word of life and to be clean vessels as we do so.)

 

6. Servant.

2 Timothy 2:24‑26     And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25       In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

26       And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

The word here is actually “bond servant.”  A “servant” was a slave to a master. A “bond servant” was one who had finished his time or sentence as a slave and could go free, but chose to continue as a servant.  In other words, the bond servant was one who had been a slave and loved it enough to choose to continue as one.

2:26

Spiritual sins ensnare men and women (Prov. 5:22-23). Evil spirits and Satan may ensnare man by the permission of God or by the deceived individual (1 Kings 22:22; Job 1:9-11). The evil spirits may take residence in the body of the deceived (Mark 5:1-19; Eph. 4:27) or they may transport from one to another during acts of fornication (1 Cor. 6:16-18). The blood, the name, and the word of Jesus Christ are the tools of recovery for the slave of sin (Rev. 12:11).

2 Timothy 3:1-5    This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

The perilous times refer to Jacob’s trouble (Jer. 30:7; Dan. 12:1), but they also include the last few years of the church age (Rev. 3:14-22). These characteristics generally described men and women during these times. The outstanding trait will be self-acceptance, self-esteem, or self-love (Ezek. 33:31) and this will cause them to be easily deceived by flattery (Dan. 11:21) and easily offended by the truth (Matt. 24:10-11).

 

2 Timothy 3:14-15    But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Timothy had the Scriptures when he was a child. Did he have the original manuscripts? No! Timothy had copies of copies of copies that were preserved without error by the Levites and Timothy’s copy was called the holy Scriptures. The holy Scriptures are words that one can read (Isaiah 34:16; Matt. 21:42; John 5:39). The Alexandrian scholars believe that God inspired words and lost them. If anyone of these scholars was a king who inspired laws for the people of his land, he would preserve the laws from change. The Spirit of God inspired the words of scripture and preserve the words flawlessly (Ps. 12:6-7; 33:6; Jer. 36:27-32; Matt. 24:35).

 

2 Timothy 3:16-17    All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

The Bible revisers really believe all scripture WAS given by inspiration of God in the originals only, but they cannot prove their belief because they have never seen the original manuscripts. Preservation without inspiration is pointless. Inspiration of the scripture occurs in the present tense when the Spirit grants understanding of the word of truth. The main purpose for the words of the scripture is to reveal the sound doctrines of God.

Job 32:8    But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

This is the two occurrences of the word inspiration in the Scriptures. A secular definition of the word means God breathed (Ps. 33:6). Inspiration is affiliated with the spirit (Job 32:8; 33:4). In..spir…ation means an infusion of God’s words into the heart of the believer by the Holy Ghost. Understanding of God’s words is attained through the Spirit of God (Isaiah 66:2; John 7:16-17; Rom. 8:16; Eph. 1:18; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Thess. 3:1). God gives understanding to the sincerely humble and contrite spirit (Isaiah 66:2; John 7:16-17; Rom. 8:16; Eph. 1:18; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Thess. 3:1).

Jesus said, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). They contain just as much of the spirit and life of God as did the originals. The word of God which “liveth and abideth forever” was inspired, is inspired and will be inspired forever. The inherent “spirit” and “life” of scripture are what enables it to bring forth the spiritual new birth. Only living things can reproduce themselves. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” It “liveth,” just as Jesus said; his words “are…life.” We can hide the scripture in our hearts (Psalm 119:11); we can handle it (2 Corinthians 4:2); it is nigh us, even in our mouth (Romans 10:8). And finally, we will be judged by it (John 12:48). Its life is “incorruptible.” It is alive.

What does “given by inspiration” mean? What is “All scripture”? These questions will hopefully be resolved for the reader in this section. I will begin with a discussion of the Greek text, only because that is where this discussion usually, and I might add, somewhat incorrectly begins. (My analysis will be Biblical, not from corrupt secularized lexicons, such as James Strong, W.E. Vine, S. Zodhiates, Jay Green, Moulton, Milligan, Thayer, Wuest, Trench, Vincent, Liddell, Gesenius, Brown, Driver and Briggs. These men’s heresies are so vile that each one merits an entire lengthy chapter in Greek and Hebrew Study Dangers. Their tools, along with the aforementioned editions of the Greek and Hebrew text, have given some the false impression that the KJB has errors, when in fact it is these study tools which have the errors. The use of books by these men causes some to doubt the inspiration of the KJB. Too many are seeing the Bible through the dark lens of these groping blind men. Some unwisely think that they have holy lexicons, not Holy Bibles. The liberal college classroom has become a hand-holding séance with the heretics of generations past, all of whom are somewhat unknown entities to most teachers and certainly to all students. Has the college think-tank become the skeptic tank? The Bible says, “not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual” (1 Corinthians 2:13). A humble man of God and a Bible are all that is needed to “commit thou to faithful men” 2 Timothy 2:2).

The word “theopneustos” is translated “is given by inspiration of God.” The first part of the word is theo which means “God.” The second part, pneuma, is almost always translated as “spirit” (322 times as ‘spirit,’ 91 times as ‘Ghost’ or ghost, once as ‘wind,’ once as ‘life,’ and never as ‘breath’ or ‘breathed’). Given the vast preponderance of the translation of this Greek word into English as “spirit,” it is logically translated with the English “spir,” as seen in the word “inspiration.” The use of the word “spir,” meaning “spirit,” lines up perfectly with John 6:63 where Jesus defines his words. He said, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

The word of God is not just ink on paper, like other books; its words are “spirit.” Since the spirit of God is alive, his words are also alive. Consequently John 6:63 concludes that the word of God is “life.”

It would only be marginally correct to say that theopneustos was connected with the breath of God since it is a different Greek word, pnoe’, that is translated twice as “breath[e]” in Acts 17:25 and 9:1 and once as “wind” in Acts 2:2. Even bible corrupter James Strong admits that pneuma is only “a presumed der. [derivative] of 4154″ (pnoe’}. The derivation is not certain. The current repetition of the definition of “theopneustos” as “divinely breathed” comes directly from the liberal James Strong and is rooted in his penchant for unspiritualizing and secularizing Bible words. Breath is tangible; the spirit is not tangible. Those who are afraid to call the KJB “inspired” are wrongly focusing on the physical character of Strong’s erring definition, “breathed”; they know that God did close the canon and stopped the physical sign gifts. But God’s “Spirit” is still striving with man, comforting man and leading man into all truth. God never said the Spirit would not translate the canon; he did provide for this in Acts 2 when “every man heard them speak in his own language” from “every nation under heaven”

“With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak...saith the Lord” (1 Corinthians 14:21).

(Although the Greek word pneuma can be seen in secular English as ‘pneumonia’ and ‘pneumatic,’ both relating to air, its Biblical usage is exclusively as ‘spirit.’ Even Hodge, as noted in Augustus Strong’s Systematic Theology on p. 198, admitted that ‘spirit’ was the correct correlative.)

 

2 Timothy 4:1    I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

The believer (quick- Eph. 2:1-6) will be judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ. The dead will be judged at the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15).

2 Timothy 4:3-4     For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

This time refers to an apostasy WITHIN the church of God (Rev. 3:14-22). Carnal believers will not endure sound doctrine; in fact, the arrogant revisers change the word doctrine to teaching in 2 Timothy 3:16 of the new Bibles of Alexandria.

 

PAUL’S FAREWELL STATEMENT.

2 Tim 4:6‑8     For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7          I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

8          Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Here Paul is giving his farewell address to Timothy.  He reminds us that he has “fought a good fight,” literally, “fought the good fight.”  Notice here he is a good soldier.  Then he said he had “finished his course.”  Notice here he is a good athlete; he has run the prescribed course.  Then he said, “I have kept the faith.”  Notice here he is a good vessel, a good student and a good servant.  The Apostle Paul is saying to Timothy, “You be what I have been.  Continue the work that God has called me to do, the work that I have begun.”

 

2 Timothy 4:10    For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

Demas means popular or ruler of people. He left Paul for worldly desires (1 John 2:15). Godly people are judged by worldly people on earth, but will be rewarded by God in Heaven. Carnal Christians are rewarded by worldly people on earth, but will be judged by God at the Judgment Seat. Demas and the scholars of the worldly bibles foolishly choose the latter.

 

2 Timothy 4:14-15    Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

Paul and John warned of troublemakers by name (3 John 9-11).

 

2 Timothy 4:20    Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

Paul’s gift of healing ceased around Acts 28:28-29. False apostles will counterfeit the signs through experiences, miracles, tongues, and visions to overrule the written word of God as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice (2 Peter 1:15-21; Rev. 13:13-15)

 

OUTLINE OF THE BOOK OF II TIMOTHY

In his first letter to Timothy, Paul wrote with the intent of revealing his mind on how to get a church back on track.  In this letter, Paul wrote with the intent of revealing his heart, for he knows that his time is short and that his death is near!

In this letter, Paul reveals himself as 4 different characters.

1. HE REVEALS HIMSELF AS A PREACHER!
2. He was a man of compassion who diligently watched and prayed for his friends. 2 Tim. 1:3 – “I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;”
3. He was a man of wisdom whose advice always brought people closer to the Lord!
4. Stir up your gift!

2 Tim. 1:6 – Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

 

2. Hold fast to sound doctrine.

2 Tim. 1:13 – Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

 

3. Stay true to your ministry.

2 Tim. 1:14 – That good think which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

 

1. He was a man consumed with doing the will of God!
2. As an apostle.

2 Tim. 1:1 – Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

 

2. As a faithful servant.

2 Tim. 1:3 – I thank God, whom I serve from my fore-fathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

 

3. As a prisoner.

2 Tim. 1:8 – Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

 

4. As a preacher.

2 Tim. 1:11 – Whereunto I am appointed as a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

 

5. As a sufferer.

2 Tim. 1:12 – For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

 

HE REVEALS HIMSELF AS A PATTERN!

 

2 Tim. 2:2 – And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

1. In this chapter, Paul likens his life (and the Christian life) to 5 different occupa­tions.
2. We are to be stewards.

2 Tim. 2:2 – And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Paul gave all that he had; he poured himself into the ministry that God had given him!

 

2. We are to be soldiers.

2 Tim. 2:3-4 – Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Some can’t understand the importance of church. The church is the training ground or boot camp for God’s people to learn how to successfully fight a spiritual battle!

 

3. We are to be dedicated like athletes.

2 Tim. 2:5 – And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

Professional athletes should not outwork a Christian or be more dedicated to a sport than we are to Christ!

 

4. We are to be students.

2 Tim. 2:15 – Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

We must never forget that we must always be experiencing spiritual growth and therefore must be constantly learning.

 

5. We are to be servants.

2 Tim. 2:24 – And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

The highest position is not characterized by the highest salary or the greatest amount of notoriety but rather by how low we’re willing to stoop!

 

HE REVEALS HIMSELF AS A PROPHET!

2 Tim. 3:1 – This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

 

1. In this chapter 2 Tim. 3:1-13, Paul reveals through prophecy the worsening condition of society and describes how it will be when Jesus Christ returns. Some of these characteristics would be: self-lovers, money lovers, blas­phemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, pleasure-lovers and religious hypocrites.

 

1. Following Paul’s long list of qualities that will be found during these times, he then provides the cure!

2 Tim. 3:14-17 – But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;  And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

 

The Bible provides 4 tremendous avenues of spiritual healing through:

1. Doctrine – what is true.
2. Reproof- what is wrong.
3. Correction – what is right.
4. Instruction in righteousness – how to keep ourselves right.

HE REVEALS HIMSELF AS A PRISONER!

2 Tim. 1:8 – Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

While awaiting a certain death, Paul’s final words are a mixture of tears, praise and encouragement to a soldier who will soon be taking his place.

1. Preach the Word!

2 Tim. 4:1-2 – I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

2. Watch over the flock!

2 Tim. 4:5a – But watch thou in all things,

3. Be ready to suffer!

2 Tim. 4:5b – endure afflictions,

4. Get people saved!

2 Tim. 4:5c – do the work of an evangelist,

5. Prepare for the Judgment Seat of Christ!

2 Tim. 4:5d – make full proof of thy ministry.

6. Encourage me!

2 Tim. 4:9 – Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

He had been forsaken by Demas, a friend and co-laborer and had sent away Titus to help elsewhere.

7. Salvage those who need it!

2 Tim. 4:11 – Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
