(2
Thessalonians 2:1-12)
The
apostle Paul deals with this issue
When
addressing the Thessalonians.
They
had heard that The Day Of The Lord
Had
already occured.
Paul
told them that the Day Of The Lord,
The
return of Christ Jesus,
Would
not come until, First:
The
Rebellion, the Apostasy,
The
Great Falling Away from Faith in Christ Jesus occurs.
And
Secondly, until the man of Lawlessness,
The
son of Satan, The Beast of Revelation,
The
Antichrist, is revealed.
In
other words, the Apostasy,
Is the
Event that Precipitates the Revealing of the Antichrist.
Paul
says that, Currently, this Revealing
Is
being HELD BACK by the Holy Spirit,
So
that the Antichrist might be Revealed
At the
God chosen time.
However,
when God removes the Holy Spirit,
Then
the Lawless One, the Antichrist, the Beast of Revelation
Will
be revealed.
Paul
tells us that:
9
The coming of the Lawless One
Will
be in accordance with the Work of Satan
Displayed
in all kinds
Of
Counterfeit Miracles, Signs and Wonders,
10
AND IN EVERY SORT OF EVIL
THAT
DECEIVES THOSE WHO ARE PERISHING.
THEY
PERISH BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO LOVE THE TRUTH,
AND
SO BE SAVED.
11
FOR THIS REASON
GOD
SENDS THEM A POWERFUL DELUSION
SO
THAT THEY WILL BELEIVE THE LIE
12
AND SO THAT ALL WILL BE CONDEMNED
WHO
HAVE NO BELIEVED THE TRUTH,
BUT
HAVE DELIGHTED IN WICKEDNESS.
(2
Thessalonians 2:9-12)
It
is my opinion That the Bride of Christ,
The
Woman of Revelation 12,
Is
Removed with the Holy Spirit
However,
this does not include all that is called the “Church.”
We
know from many Scriptures
That
Christians go through the Great Tribulation.
[Daniel
8:11-14; 11:31-35; 12:7;12: 8-13
Revelation
7:9-17]
The
revealing of the Lawless One,
Begins
God's Great Tribulation
That
goes on for Three and One-Half Years.
At
the End of the Three and One-Half Years,
Christ
Jesus Returns, to Defeat the Antichrist
And
all the armies of the World.
[Zechariah
12, 13 and 14; Revelation 19:11-21]
He
then Establishes His Kingdom on Earth as in Heaven
For
a Thousand Years; God's Day of Rest,
In
Jerusalem on Mount Zion.
[Revelation
20 and 21]
