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 Jluna! I agree with everything that you have stated in your post! Yes, I agree that the Lord will come and He will be revealed with His mighty angels in flaming fire (2 Thess. 1:7)! I also believe that the Day of the Lord, when the Lord comes for the second time, will also witness the rapture and the death of antichrist, whom the Lord will slay by the breath of His mouth (2 Thess. 2:8, Dan. 7:10, Isaiah 11:4). Jluna, I also believe that our generation is a witness to the most gruesome time of Christian persecution in the world's history!
