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: Rapture? Pre? Mid? Post? |
Bible Answer: Regarding the Solagroup, I have found several concerns with their material. Following is one of many examples: The Solagroup/Revelationcommentary material states: “3c. Great tribulation - is used again in Revelation 7:14 with the definite article. Matthew 24:21 records the Lord’s prediction of a future time of "great tribulation." In Matthew 24, the Lord indicates that He will return after a "great tribulation." Revelation 2:22 indicates that unfaithful bond-servants will be cast into a "great tribulation." Revelation 7:14 posits that an incalculable host suddenly appears in heaven who come out from the midst of "the great tribulation." That members of the church at Thyatira will be cast into "a great tribulation" demands the presence of the church of Thyatira on earth during "a great tribulation." This effectively places this punishment outside the eschatological "great tribulation" connected with Daniel’s Seventieth Week. However, the fact that unfaithful members of the church at Thyatira could suffer "a great tribulation" certainly leaves room for the church to suffer "the great tribulation." My comments: This states that members of the Thyatira church will be cast into “great tribulation”, but that is not what the Bible says. This is the actual quote: Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. The church at Thyatira allows Jezebel to teach and seduce Jesus’ servants to commit fornication. Jezebel did not repent. Jezebel, and those that commit adultery with her (not the ones committing fornication, which are Jesus’ servants) will be cast into great tribulation. Nothing in this text says that the Thyatira church will be cast into great tribulation. The church will not suffer the Great Tribulation.
