***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?***
It doesn’t get any clearer than that. Which is why no one else responded to it. You can’t cherry pick a verse here or there. Context means everything.
After posting that many, many times I finally put it in notepad and linked it to my desktop.
It’s hard. Truth is a double-edged sword. It breaks your heart but once you are open to His truth, there is no turning back. I always read the whole chapter of everything referenced when learning and my Strong’s concordance is with my Bible. I do it even if it is Charles Stanley or R.C. Sproul or Ravi Zacharias. We are still human.
P.S. no one responded to my post #101 either. When Jesus returns it is not the end times, it is the end of THIS AGE. It will be like the ending of the age before the flood. Afterwards, everything was different. Everything.
