2 Thessalonians 2:3
“Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the rapture) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,"
Before Jesus returns, there will be an "apostasy," an unprecedented falling-away from the Lord; greater and more extensive than ever before. In the midst of this falling-away, "the man of lawlessness" (the man of sin, the antichrist) will be revealed. However, the "rapture" of the church, will not happen until after the "man of lawlessness" (Verse 3), the antichrist is revealed.
Therefore, watch the times and the seasons that you may be ready for His return. May we all be found going about our Fathers business.
The Truth
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’[c] spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.” (Matthew 24:15-20)
