AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive or entrap you, for that day will not come unless the apostasy comes first [that is, the great rebellion, the abandonment of the faith by professed Christians], and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction [the Antichrist, the one who is destined to be destroyed], [Dan 7:25; 8:25; 1 Tim 4:1] |
Subject: anti-christ revealed before rapture? |
Bible Note: Greetings Ed! Zech. 14:4 is preceded by Zech. 14:1, which says, "a day is coming for the Lord" (i.e., the Day of the Lord). Matthew 24:27 says "so will the coming of the Son of Man be." Acts 1:9-11 says, "This Jesus ... will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." Also describing a 'return' of Jesus Christ to the earth, which is clearly referencing His Second Coming. With that in mind, 1 Thess. 4:15 states, "the coming of the Lord" and 2 Thess. 2:8 says, "by the appearance of His coming." The Lord is only going to have ONE Second Coming? Correct?? I do not see how anyone can overlook the fact that all of these verses are speaking about "the coming of the Lord", which is His Second Coming, also known as the Day of the Lord. The Bible clearly shows that these events all happen on the same timeframe, the same day. Blessings to you, Nolan |
