2 Thessalonians 1:7–2:17
No, I don’t believe that the man of sin of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 must be revealed before the rapture can take place; the revelation of the [3] man of sin (and concrete evidence of [3] the falling away) are evidence of the great tribulation. Paul’s purpose in 2 Thessalonians 2 was to assure the Thessalonian Christians that they were not in the great tribulation and they had not missed the rapture – that is why they were so [2] shaken in mind and troubled. Collectively, this shows us that the [3] man of sin (the Antichrist) does not have to be revealed before [1] our gathering together to Him (the catching away of the church).
