1 Corinthians 13 .....

"And if I know everything there is to know about everything, and have not Love,
I am nothing"

Love rejoices whenever Truth wins out "

2 Thessalonians Ch. 2 tells us very directly that the Rapture cannot take place until:

1.  there is a definite split within Christendom

and also

2. that the man of sin be revealed ( sitting in the Temple as God )

before we can be raptured.

We are counseled not to be deceived in this matter by anyone.
 
 

The deception being touted by most of Christendom is that

the "falling away" means "departure".

OK ... we'll give these word- sleuths  the benefit of the doubt.

What they are actually saying then is this:

" The Rapture cannot take place until the Rapture takes place".

???????????????????????????????????????????????

I credit the Bible with much more depth than that.
 
 

It is hard to wait on the Lord.

It is hard to be vexed every day until these turn of events occur.

But to run from the truth is not acceptable.

We are to worship God in Spirit and in Truth ( accuracy ).
 
 

For too long a time 2 Thessalonians Ch. 2 has not been received by the Church.
It is time for it to be received in humility and patience.

Our Lord is coming for a Bride without spot or wrinkle.

With each day that passes, those spots and wrinkles are getting cleaned and pressed.

Time corrects all errors.
 
 

In the meantime, let us

"Occupy until He comes" ( Luke 19 : 13 )

for He will come:

" at an hour ye think not " ( Matthew 24:44 )
 
 

Written in love of the truth, and love of this fellowship,

Eddie Sohn :

We agree with you on 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 ,

however we believe that the Rapture will soon be upon us,
and that there is only approximately 3 and 1 / 2 more years remaining after that.
