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] |
Bible Question: Will the church be there during the great tribulation? will they have seen the antichrist before the rapture? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Flo, I believe, and this is my own personal opinion, that we will see the antichrist before the rapture but we won't be aware that he is the antichrist. We will see his reign but we will see it from heaven. The great tribulation will happen during the antichrist's reign but I believe that God in His infinate mercy will rapture the believers before this happens. prayon |
