coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our
gathering together unto Him" (the Rapture)
"That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be
troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as
from us, as that the Day of **CHRIST** is at hand".
(No any- time Rapture. Certain things must
happen first. The Rapture is not here just yet.)
"Let no man deceive you by any means. For
that day"
(of **CHRIST**, the Rapture)
"shall not come, except there come a
1. falling away first"
(an agreement among apostates to abandon the
Biblical Faith in the Triune God. A global movement to
abandon Sound Doctrine and Scriptural Faith.).
"AND"
2. "that man of sin"
( The future antichrist, the Beast)
"be revealed, the son of perdition".
(destined for the Lake of Fire).
"Who opposeth"
(God, Israel and nuclear militarism)
"and exalteth himself above all that is
called 'God', or that is worshipped.
So that he, as God, sitteth in the Temple of
God (below the Temple Mount) "SHOWING himself that he
IS God."
( He sits upon the newly discovered Ark of
the Covenant, in contempt, blasphemy amd blatant pride.)
"Remember ye not, that when I was yet with
you, I told you these things "?
(A former event not recorded in Scripture).
"And now you know what with-holdeth, that
he"
(the future antichrist, the Beast)
"might be revealed in his time."
( Now you know why we haven't had the
Rapture just yet. Because we have not had a formal
signing of a declaration of Unity
among all who promote a global religion.
1. We have not had a legalized global
apostasy just yet...a collective denial of Biblical Faith.
Forsaking the belief in a spiritual messiah, the masses
now desire a political messiah, granting bread for
servitude.)
AND
2. We have not seen the blasphemy of the
Beast sitting upon the Ark of the Covenant. Please see
Jeremiah 3:16.
Both of those two events MUST take place
before there can be a Rapture, as can be discerned from
Chapter two of 2 Thessalonians. )
"For
"the mystery of iniquity"
(The mystery of why God allows evil to run
it's course)
"doth already work"
(Man is allowed to have free will until this
era ends.
It is an unexplainable mystery. We will know
in time.)
"Only He" (God), "Who now letteth" (now
allows),
"will let" (will continue to allow)
until he (Satan)
be taken out of the way."
(at Revelation/Apocalypse
20:10).
