2 Thessalonians 2:1- 4
Now
brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our
gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or
troubled, either by
spirit
or by word or by letter, as if from us, as
though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you
by any means; for that day will not come unless the falling
away
comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who
opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is
worshiped, so that
he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself
that he is God.
Concerning the rapture,
don’t be deceived by any means,
for it has not come yet and will not
come “until” - Notice
the order.
the
falling
away comes first; then the man of sin -
commonly referred
to as
the
antichrist
- will be revealed;
and then the coming of Jesus
and our being
gathered to Him.
Also,
this
antichrist will sit as God in the temple of God. Consider
1 Corinthians
3:16 &
2 Corinthians
6:16. The temple of God
is no longer a building.
