Subject: Left Behind in error w 2 Thess. 2:7-11? |
Bible Note: Mommapbs: I appreciate the amount of thought and study you have put into this subject. Their are some things that only eternity will reveal. I agree that the rapture is not the second coming of Christ to the earth when he will come in Power and glory and will put down all who are against him. I also agree that their will be millions saved including Jew and Gentile after the rapture, during the great tribulation. Having said that, it would appear from 2 Thess. 2 that after the rapture, the wicked one will be revealed. V.8 abd ub v9 "even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power, signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" V.10 Not only will these people be deceived by the wicked one "God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie; That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."V11-12 We Jesus takes the church away, there will be many who know the truth and in fact have rejected the truth. As I said in an earlier post I do not think we have a second chance once we miss God's salvation either by dying in our sins or missing the rapture of the church. We know that God is going to turn back to his people in grace and this grace will reach out to people from every nation who have not rejected the truth. I fear for those who in this day of grace when God by his Spirit deals individually with the hearts of humans, such privilege also brings accountability. We must answer Pilate's question "what shall I do with Jesus which is called Christ?" Thank God for Calvary, rather thank him for our Saviour who gave his all that we though unworthy and sinful, might be redeemed and made acceptable to God in him. Praise his precious Name!
