2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 Discussion Page 15

Let no man deceive you. Jesus told us don't follow no one. Anti-christ means instead of jesus. Daniel tells us in chapter 10,11, Of his book that satan comes in peace speaking flatteries. Looks just like the lamb but speaks as the dragon. When you see the great Apostascy, a falling away, people leaving there Religions and chasing after antichrist who looks just like Our Christ,then you`ll know. Its a 5 month period. Shorten for the elect. Revelation 9. Satan comes in peace to deceive the world.

Which is the original word in greek for TRADITIONS IN VERSE 15?

I agreed with Cheryl Lynn comment about falling away from the church. A lot of churches are going a different direction. If anyone would like to go to www.lighthouseresearch.com it is a very good website to go to.

Many churches have strayed in the last few years from the truth of the Gospel. They have dabbled in the New Age and accepted corrupt Bible Version, using Yoga, saying God is a Woman, or God is in every thing, justifying homosexuality, paganism or living together outside of marriage, even abortion.Etc. We must get back to what the Bible actually teaches so when Jesus returns we will be ready.

God is allowing iniquity or sin to take place, but eventually he will remove the Holy Spirit. At that time the Anti-Christ will be revealed. If the Holy Spirit is gone then the believers must also be taken out since the believers are indwell ed with the Holy Spirit.

I do not believe in the secret Rapture theory personally. Throughout the Bible it states that when Christ comes the chaff is removed and the wheat remains. Meaning we all go through tribulation together. Also, Jesus comes 2 times. That is it. A secret Rapture to gather the faithful would make 3 times. Thirdly, if the faithful were removed, why would Revelations state that some refused the mark and refused to worship the Beast if all that remained were wicked? Finally, if every other devout Christian, to include the deciples, went through tribulation: persecution, torture, etc., why would we be allowed to skip it?

I am looking for clerification on an important matter. I have always been taught that the anti-christ comes first and the Christ on the 7th trump. Bill Keller, a man from Liveprayer says we are saved first by the rapture, then the anti-christ comes. Anyone have the answer?

Verse 7 is the Rapture. "He" is a reference to the church. "Let" is translated from the original word which means hinder. He who now hinders will hinder until he be taken out of the way. Once the church is taken out of the way, the wicked shall be revealed which is the anti-christ. The anti-christ will not be revealed until the Rapture occurs.
