QUOTE: "...UNTO A PERFECT MAN, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNESS OF CHRIST:..” (Eph. 4:12,13). The Body of Christ is the “he” of Thess., the PERFECT MAN of Ephesians.

That scripture reference in no way proves your point, especially as this passage has no prophetic tones at all.

If this verse did refer to the last minute pre-trib church, this would imply the church is getting better, purer, more doctrinally sound, etc. The exact reverse is true.

A much better identity of the "he" is married men only, as it says clearly in Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church... 31 For this cause shall a man leave...
Obviously, married men will leave, being taken out of the way, and allow the antichrist to have full reign. /s

Prophetic tones has nothing whatsoever to do with the Church the Body of Christ. It was a MYSTERY, hid in God from the foundation of the world. Which is the whole point of Paul. And his ministry.
