Did you get out your Bible and read 1st and 2nd Thessalonians? It doesn’t take long and if you slowly read chapter 2 of 2nd Thessalonians while listening to God’s voice without fear, Paul specifically states the Lord does not return until AFTER, after the “man of lawlessness is revealed.”

Man of Lawlessness

2 Thess 2

1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

Sorry don’t follow your wrong interpretation of scripture. You keep sitting here looking for the Anti Christ. I am looking for Jesus Christ. We have been told we will not see the wrath of God. The Tribulation IS His wrath. You stay here and endure it. I am going with Him when He calls. Sorry dude, don’t follow your beliefs.

PS: You skip over the verse just before when it states that “He who restrains is taken out.” That IS the Holy Spirit. That means when He is gone, the Age of Grace, which is what we live in, IS OVER!!!! OVER!!!! That means we are gone. Try reading 1 Corth 15 and read it without your bias opinion that WE are somehow going to have to be purified. CHRIST DID THAT ON THE CROSS WHEN HE SAID IT IS FINISHED!!!! Nothing else done. He purified us with His blood on the Cross. Goodbye and end of conversation. Joel Osteen comes on at 6. Enjoy.
