Dear Doves,

We have been told "all things"  in the scriptures (John 15:15).

In (2 thessalonians 2:7) we are told that the anti-Christ is being
held back or restrained by the Holy Spirit until the rapture occurs
when He, the Holy Spirit, is taken out of the way thereby releasing or
removing the restraint from the anti-Christ so the anti-Christ can
then come into 'his authority'.

In (Revelation 13:2 & 5) we are told that the anti-Christ has 'his
authority' for forty-two months before the Second Coming of the Lord.

Therefore, we are told that the restraint on the anti-Christ is
released by the Holy Spirit, when the rapture occurs, forty-two months
before the Second Coming of the Lord. The anti-Christ cannot come into
'his authority' until the rapture occurs which releases him, and then
he has 42 months of authority after the rapture.

Just as the Lord fulfilled the three Spring Feasts of Passover,
Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits; He will come to fulfill the three
Fall Feasts of Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles. We are told the
dates for these Feasts of the Lord beginning Tishri 1, which is the
Feast of Trumpets.

Counting backwards exactly 42 months from (Tishri 1) in the year of
the Lord's Second Coming we come to (Nisan 1) 42 months earlier unless
there are 13 months in that particular 3 1/2 year period to account
for a Hebrew leap-year which includes the added month of Adar II. In
that case 42 months prior to Tishri 1 in the year of the Second Coming
would bring us to Lyar 1.

In either case, on Nisan 1 or 30 days later on Lyar 1, we are told
that the rapture occurs thereby releasing the anti-Christ  forty-two
months before the Second Coming of the Lord on a future Feast of
Trumpets which is Tishri 1.

Come Lord Jesus!
