When is Antichrist revealed?

The Day of Deception in 2nd Thessalonians Chapter Two

In 2nd Thessalonians, Paul continues to develop the theme of the day of the Lord (deception rf. Mat.22:8-14), but always keeping in mind that it does not relate to members of the church (review 1Th.5:3-11).

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition. The day of the Lord cannot come until two things happen. What are the two things? There has to be a falling away. And the man of sin has to be revealed.

Quick question. Is there going to be apostasy in the church before the Antichrist comes? Yes, we're seeing it, but that's not what he's talking about. The word “aphistēmi” occurs 16 times besides this. Each time it occurs, it simply means “departure.” In other words, it only means apostasy when it comes with the phrase apostasy “from the faith.”

The question then, is "Departure from what?" He's referring to the one in verse one. The coming of our Lord and our gathering together to Him. I believe it's a reference to the rapture of the church. If we take it that way, then it tells us that Antichrist cannot come on the scene until the rapture of the church has taken place.

Salvation comes only by Grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and only in Him alone. Especially if you've been left behind, learn about "The Simplicity of Salvation" here:

Imagine someone speaking so loving in a letter to assure people. Then, this guy makes a mockery of their words.

He’s correct! Not a falling away from the faith, but a departure from the Earth!

Haven’t heard this take before, I want to believe it

Quick question. When does the last trumpet (1 Cor. 15:52) sound? Is it the seventh trumpet, in Revelation(11:15-19) or is it after the seventh trumpet?
Either way it's after the tribulation.

The textus receptus which is the oldest English translation reads the departing first, since both Thessalonians books are speaking of resurrection and translation with Christ in the air, it's clear Paul is speaking of the departure of the Saints !

Greetings

Consider this falling away ( apostasy. ) will happen when The One sent from the LORD THE COMFORTER will convict the world of sin then of righteousness and the day of judgment of the prince of this world
The GOSPEL OF JOHN 16 vs 7 thru 16

Quick question, the rapture toy speak about, is it the same gathering of the elect by his angels in Matthew 24:31 ? If yes, then the rapture you speak of is a secret rapture?😮

[DaveUlatowski-dygs]

Most likely the falling away is going to be with pretribbers who realize that they're in the tribulation.And realize that everything they've been taught regarding that subject has been a lie, straight from the pit.

Revelation 13 we will go through tribulation dude. Your lying to everyone Matthew 24 read it without commentaries
