How does it contradict this scripture? 2 Thess 2:3 Regarding our gathering back to Christ it won’t happen until after the falling away and the Son of Perdition (anti Christ) be revealed.

“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. “

Reasd on a bit. The key is the Restrainer The Restrainer, He is in your spirit if you are born again. He shall never leave your spirit. BUT His Restraining via those in whom He abides comes to an end. THEN the lawless one is revealed who comes with all signs and lying wonders. For two-thousand years The Restrainer has been restraining the wicked one’s coming to absolute power over humanity. when the great Departure happens, and we are removed from this 4D realm, the Restraining influence of the Restrainer’s Presence in us is ended and satan is no longer restrained..

That phrase 'the falling away' weas translated in the first several Greek to English Bibles as Departure, the Departure. With the Catholic Rheims Bible the Departure was changed to the rebellion ... I believe referencing the Protestant rebellion. Then the King James translators changed the phrase to read the falling away.

In the original koine Greek The Departure is what Paul wrote and the 'apostasia' can mean departing from the faith OR departing as in a ship disappearing over the horizon. When Jesus comes in the first Heaven to gather us to Himself, we will first be transformed to be like Him (1 John 3:2) so that we see Him as He is now. That transforming causes us to disappear from 4D spacetime in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, and join the dead in Christ who have received their new glorified bodies as they rise to meet Jesus in the air.

In Judaism the first Heaven is the atmosphere and space surrounding our planet. Jesus is coming from the Third Heaven -the Throne Room of God- to the first Heaven and gathering us up into that first Heaven to meet Him and return to the Father's House (John14)

This not the second coming, for Jesus in His glorified body and we rising transformed beings are not visible to the world nor is He up in the air visible to the 4D earthdwellers. BUT at the Second coming every eye shall see Him!

Another key is to understand that The Day of Christ is for the Believers, whereas the Day of the Lord is a judgment day for the unbelievers.

Someone had written a letter to the Thessalonians claiming the attacks they were suffering was a sign of the Day of the Lord, thus deceiving them. Paul warned to not be deceived for the Day of the lord cannot come unless the day of Christ comes first and the wicked one be revealed. How is the wicked one revealed? The Restrainer in believers is taken out of the way in the Day of Christ's appearing for His Bride.
