2 Thessalonians 2 - A Pretribulational Nightmare

[Ksysco]

I don't know if I'd go that far lifeseeker51. No matter what view you hold some people will fall away. If you have a Pretrib position then why would you doubt the truth of God's Word when you're seeing things that Pretrib teaches just at different times than you thought? Whether I'm pretrib or prewrath I'll be seeing the same signs and that would be confirmation that God's word is true but I may have had a wrong interpretation of it. Good vid as usual Chris.

The "abomination" in 2 Thessalonians is being used as a description of the Antichrist. Paul is saying, "the Antichrist must be revealed, that person who will exalt himself in the temple of God." It's not saying that the abomination is the event that must happen before the rapture. By the time of the Abomination of Desolation, the entire world will know who the Antichrist is. The event that precedes the rapture is the REVEALING of the AC. And the word "revealed" means "uncovered" or "unveiled"

Amen to all this.I was once spiritually directed to this scripture when I became worried that the rapture was imminent.Pre tribulationists have placed their adhereants in danger.The doubt caused by having to go through tribulation,which is a test of faith.It will be double in those that never thought it could happen to them.Many will fall away as a result.They will decide there's no truth to Gods word.They will embrace anything that will preserve their physical life.
