2Thessalonians2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
Mark13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. 24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
"that day shall not come (the day of Christ, 2nd Coming), except there come a FALLING AWAY first, (Blue letter conc(apostasia) 1) of separation
a) of local separation, after verbs of motion from a place i.e. of DEPARTING, of fleeing.) and that man of sin be revealed.My question, cant Apostasia mean BOTH? a falling away in the Body of Christ AND the departure/rapture of His Bride? I understand it having both meanings for 2 literal events occuring around same time... thanks.

Revelation9:11 satan is coming first whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon Revelation 12:9. The word rapture is not in the Bible Ezekiel13:20 God is against those who teach their children to fly away to save their souls. Matthew24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days Jesus Christ will Return 1Corinthians15:52 we shall be changed into our Spiritual Bodies in that instant. We must endure till the end Luke10:17-20 Amen

@renegadodk Fellow Believer my understanding that "caught up" in Latin is Raptua (spelling may be incorrect) said in 1Thessalonians 4:17. Want we be changed like the body of our Saviour that Peter, John and James saw when He was being transfigured? Thanks in advance and may God continue to bless you and your home.

Word: arpazw
Pronounce: har-pad'-zo
Strongs Number: G726
1) to seize, carry off by force
2) to seize on, claim for one's self eagerly
3) to snatch out or away
Matthew13:37-43 Parable of the tares of the field John15. The word rapture is not in the Bible. We are gonna be gathered as a multitude in our Spiritual Bodies the word air in 1Thessalonians4:17 means Spiritual Body. When Jesus Christ returns we begin The Lords Day a Thousand years of Preaching "all" in Spirit Bodies.
