Dear Doves,

When will the anti-Christ be allowed to come into power? The following Scripture exactly answera that question:

2 Thessalonians 2:7
"...; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way."

The anti-Christ will come into power as soon as the Church is raptured "out of the way" and no longer "restrains" him.

So, when will that happen? The following three Scriptures tell us exactly when the anti-Christ comes into power thereby revealing the anti-Christ and the timing of the rapture:

Daniel 9:27
"But in the MIDDLE OF THE WEEK he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate."

Matthew 24:15
"Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place."

2 Thessalonians 2:4
"who opposes and exaults himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God."

The timing of the rapture is revealed to us in Scripture by telling us exactly when the anti-Christ comes into power in "the middle of the week" ie. the middle of the '70th Week of Daniel'. He (a-c) is now being restrained like an 'attack dog' on a leash. The 'rapture of the Church' is the 'unleashing' of the anti-Christ in the middle of the '70th Week of Daniel'.

Come Lord Jesus!
