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: What is apostasy? |
Bible Note: Thank you, ebrian, You said that so beautifully. I know nothing of the Greek/Aramaic translations, so I couldn't use them. I've always seen the Rapture and the Lord's Day as two separate events. But we all have to remember that not all things are absolutely clear. Today we debate those two issues, just 2200 years ago (give or take) the Israelites could debate the Messiah coming as a Servant or a Conqueror - they could only see one advent - but which would it be? Although I am a pre-tribulationist myself, the one thing we can all agree on is that we SHALL be with the Lord, either before, in the middle or after the tribulation!!! Live in His blessings till He calls us home cheri |
