AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord! [John 14:3; 1 Cor 15:52; 2 Cor 5:8; Phil 1:23; Col 3:4] |
Subject: Order of events at the 2nd Coming? |
Bible Note: Greetings Nolan! I wasn't sure where to place the reign of the anti-christ in relation to Daniel's 70th week. He has to be there during the first 3 1/2 years in order to make the covenant with Israel. It is at the halfway point that he breaks that covenant and reveals himself for who he really is. So, it may be that he reigns in a veiled sense during the first 3 1/2 years. At the rapture, the "Restrainer" will be removed and the anti-christ revealed for whom he really is. 2 Thess. 2:8, I believe, would refer to the Second Coming. The full number would probably take place during the first 3 1/2 years. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
