TO JOHN TOO / FALLING AWAY

Hi John!

I really enjoyed you letter about the falling away, and how the verses refer to “he”, and that certainly would not represent the  faith of believers, but the Holy Spirit, and Holy Spirit filled believers.  What flashed into my mind when I read what you said was that the “he” is the Manchild of Revelation 12!!  That would be a definite HE!!  We are going through the birth pangs leading up to this birth, and we shall soon be delivered!!

The dragon stands in front of the Woman waiting for the Child to born and devour him, but the Manchild is caught up to heaven to be with the Lord.  Many believe the Manchild to be Jesus, but I just do not see it that way.

To me the Manchild represents all born again believers that have been saved since Christ’s first coming and the start of the Church.  The Church was born out of Israel, the woman, and, will be caught up to heaven before the Great Tribulation when Satan goes after the woman, (Israel), and the remnant of her seed, which are all other Tribulation saints.  Jesus is already in heaven, and we will be caught up to meet him in the air, and be with Him forever.

That is just my take on it.  Thank you for pointing out those scriptures and how the “he” gives them a whole new dimension!!  In case anyone missed it… here is your letter again, below.

Many Blessings to you!

Your sister in Christ,

Patti C.

Hello Sandra, there is great falling away from truth in the world now, that's for sure.
The greek word for falling away is apostasia which means departure, some say it's a departure from the faith while some say it's the rapture - departure of the church.
I think verses 7&8 shows that the departure is not of the faith because it's called "he", whereas the Holy Spirit, or Holy Spirit filled body of Christ could be called "he".

 

KJV 2Th 2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

 

2Th 2:7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
Verse 3 the man of sin is revealed after the falling away.
Verse 7&8 the wicked will be revealed after "he" be taken out of the way.
