2 Thessalonians 2:2....be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.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.
Mr 16:15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mt 24:14 - 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.
As I see it, there is a proclamation with results that takes in the entire world (Jesus.) Jesus will not return until after the apostasy, the great falling away. (Paul)
Paul in verse 7 of 2 Thess 2 says that God will lift His hand of influence at this time of great falling away, and that will provide the opportunity for the man of sin to work his evil.

Non-compliant posts will be pulled, defiant posters are on thin ice and the thread is at risk of being locked if it becomes toxic again.
Thanks for the scripture, cordially presented. Ahhh ... no, I'm blissfully ignorant of #621, and probably better off for not knowing! Grace and peace upon your house, brother.
