Dear Doves,

The following Scripture tells us that the 'full-power' of the
anti-Christ is now being held back by the Holy Spirit, and will
continue to be held back by Him until the Holy Spirit is 'taken out of
the way at the time of the  the rapture' of the Church.

2 Thessalonians 2:7
"For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one
who now holds it back will continue to do so til he is taken out of
the way."

The next Scripture tells us that the 'full-power' of the anti-Christ,
which is bestowed on him by Satan, is for a period of 42 months ( ie.
1,260 days, ie. 3 1/2 years).

Revelation 13:2 and 13:5
"The dragon gave the beast his power, and his throne and great authority"
"The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and
to EXERCISE HIS AUTHORITY for forty-two months."

THEREFORE:
The 'full-power' of the anti-Christ ceases to be held back by the Holy
Spirit because the rapture occurs at the point of  42 months (ie.
1,260 days, 3 1/2 years)  before the Second coming of the Lord. The
rapture happens 42 months (ie. 1,260 days, or 3 1/2 years) before the
Second Coming of the Lord which allows the anti-Christ to have
'full-power' because he is no longer being held back by the Holy
Spirit for a period beginning 42 months (ie 1,260 days, 3 1/2 years)
before the Second Advent.

There is NO DENYING the truth of what these two Scriptures tell us:

According to Your Word, come Lord Jesus!
