Christians and The Antichrist

Will believers in the Body of Christ see the revelation of the Antichrist? Let's investigate how an apostle answers the question!

Note: The verses referred to are in chapter 2 of second Thessalonians, not chapter 1. I can only blame this typo on myself. lol!

'That day'....so very clear isn't it?! Great video and I love the music...so much that I had to watch it again!...and again!

@boltingpuppies - Yes, it IS very clear! "That day" refers back to "the day of the Lord" in the previous verse, summing up what Paul had just written about: "the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him". Paul does the same thing in His first letter to the same church. He describes the coming and our gathering (to the clouds) at the end of 1 Thess 4. He then refers to it as "the day of the Lord" at the beginning of ch. 5.

Many thanks for your encouragement! Bless you!!

Thanks for sharing brother Robert. I really don't think you can make this one any clearer than you have! God Bless you!

@InHISWord2 - Thank you, sister!

It seems to me the message needs to be as clear as possible for people to grasp it. It's been there in the Bible all the time, but has been clouded by misguided prophecy "experts" telling us we won't see the Antichrist! It's funny how many of them go to great lengths to tell us everything that is going to happen in the last days in the time of the Antichrist, and then they assure us we won't be here. I always find that so odd.

God bless you too!

they will trample on the Holy City for 42 months (31/2 yrs ) & I will give power to my 2 witness & they will prophesy for 1,260 days ( 31/2 yrs) This witness is the olive trees & lampstands. ( spiritual israel & the seven churches ) When they are finished with their testimony (preaching salvation until the whole world has heard about it ) the beast from the abyss will kill them (completely stop true christianity by banning it. ) 31/2 days after comes a shout from heaven " come up here" =rapture

@receivejesusnow - 2 Thess 2:1 ("with regard to the COMING of our LORD JESUS Christ and OUR gathering together to Him") refers back to 1:6ff ("it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to give relief to YOU who are afflicted and to US as well when the LORD JESUS will be REVEALED FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS MIGHTY ANGELS IN FLAMING FIRE, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God...when He COMES to be glorified in His SAINTS on THAT DAY") Paul was post-trib!:)

@receivejesusnow - Whew! I'm glad it wasn't you! That's what I wanted to know!! :) And no offense meant!

Now don't go re-writing the Bible, now will you! According to the text "that Day" refers back to the coming of our Lord Jesus and our gathering to Him (the Rapture). Paul is saying the falling away and the revelation of the Antichrist come before that Day! Paul is refuting the false doctrine of imminency. I'm sorry all this messes up your website, but that's the way it is! Peace to you! :)

@arovir I wasn't the one who gave you that dislike I didn't even look at the ratings!! The Day that the Bible was talking about was when God poured His Wrath onto the earth, because before that day would be first a falling away, and then the Antichrist is revealed. And before the falling away is the Rapture! And do be reminded that the Wrath of God to be poured upon earth will not come only one time!!

@receivejesusnow - :) It wouldn't surprise me the least if you are the one who gave my video it's first dislike! I wonder why? It can't be because you don't like the Word of God. Perhaps it was the background color? Would you prefer pink? ;))

[arovir]

@receivejesusnow - I urge you to look afresh at end-time prophecy. Don't come to the Bible with a pre-fabricated idea of how it should look like! Notice words in the prophecies like Before and After, First and Last. These are indicators of sequence, and are not to be underestimated in their importance in understanding the last days. It's vital to get hold of reality even though it may not be advantageous to our notion of self-preservation. Even so, NO wrath will befall the righteous! :)
