Dear Doves,

The Church is restraining the anti-Christ from 'being revealed', 'desecrating God's temple', and beginning the "great tribulation" on earth all of which happen after the rapture. These 'three things' begin to happen as a result of the rapture because the anti-Christ is no longer being restrained by the Church.
 
Scripture tells us that these 'three things' begin to happen "in the middle of the seven". These 'three things' do not happen in the first-half of the '70th Week of Daniel'; So it follows that the rapture also occurs "in the middle of the seven". The anti-Christ is not released from the 'restraint of the Church' until the rapture happens in God's appointed time in "the middle of the seven".

Come Lord Jesus!
