Hi Joseph,

I completely agree that “the falling away” in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is referring to the casting out of Satan in Revelations 12:7-10.  Most Christians do not realize that Satan must FIRST be cast out of heaven before the rapture can happen. Therefore, his presence in heaven is what is restraining the rapture of the Church. When Satan is taken "out of the way" the rapture will happen.  

Revelation 12:10 states, " Now is come salvation." which means, 'Now is come the rapture.'

The Gog-Magog War with Israel is exactly the sign that God has given us to watch for immediately before the rapture happens.
