Hello,
 
I know many believe that 2 Thess. 2: 1-7 is about the Rapture of the church.  I'm declaring to all right now, that it is not!  A Rapture is coming, but not like it has been taught in most of Christendom. The sooner you can grasp the reality that this passage of scripture is not about the Rapture the faster you can prepare the heart and mind for what is to be endured. God's protection will be upon His children (them that are living holy before Him and have truly repented of their sins), but ff you will not come to change your mindset about this passage of scripture, thinking it's about the Rapture, I promise, you will find yourself saying, either verbally, or in your heart, "Where's the promise of His coming?"
 
All I will say is that the church better wake up NOW, truly repent, and stand fast IN Him.
 
Holiness by obedience is the key.  
 
"Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in Me" (John 14: 1).  
 
In Christ,
Greg
