op: unless the 'falling away' comes first?:
Within my Pre-trib 'study'
Outline, # 9 is expanded 'for this topic':
1a)
Peace With God!
1b) Which Bible version should I use?
2)
Bible study Rules
3) Three 'ages' Rightly Divided
4) Which Gospel 'makes way' for which gospel?
5) Great Tribulation, Or: tribulations/Great Grace Departure?
6) Departure 'expectations'
7) Heavenly Uplook for the Body Of Christ
8) Looking,
Patiently waiting, and watching For 'Blessed Hope' (or 'signs'?)
-----------------------------
(9) God's
Removal Of
His Body Of Christ!:
”...He who withholdeth/hindereth Until Taken Out of the way.
And Then shall that Wicked be revealed!...” (2Th 2:7-8):
First, Carefully
Note The 'Timing Words' Of God In This Passage! Amen?
Next:
Many are having Great
difficulty interpreting '
The falling away
( greek
apostasia )' In 2 Thessalonians 2:3! Perchance, this may
help?:
What is '
The Departure' Truth That God Gave Paul in This Passage?
Is it
The departure "
from the faith," as some
teach? but, Wait! Did we not
Already have that, 2000 Years ago?:
"All Asia turned Away From Paul!" (2 Timothy 1:15)
In addition, God Revealed To Paul, this Plain And Clear Statement, For:
our Last Days!:
"Now The Spirit Speaketh Expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart
from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils!"
(1 Timothy 4:1)
So, we
humbly And kindly ask: Why are Many
Still looking for "
The Great
Apostasy (
interpretation of falling away )" and the man of sin, son of Perdition?
Now, let us prayerfully ask: God's Question, Through
His Grace
apostle, Paul!:
"What Saith The Scripture?":
(A) In 1 Timothy 4:1, that departure { greek
aphestemi } is "from the faith!"
Compare:
Hebrews 3:12: Departing { same greek aphestemi! ) Is "From The Living God!"
So, with a Different Original word, The above Departure { apostasia } 'from
the faith' would be incorrect, Correct?
(B)
Double Confirmation For [
simply ] '
The Departure,' Is:
What God Revealed To Paul to teach the Thessalonians in 1 Thessalonians, Was
"The Departure" in Chapter 4:13-18, And, Also, In God's Immediate Context Here:
"Now we beseech you, brethren, By The Coming Of our Lord Jesus Christ, And
by our { Departure } Gathering together Unto Him!..." (2 Thessalonians 2:1)
Correct?
(C)
Triple Scriptural Confirmation For Great Grace "Departure From the earth!"
Is Again Also In God's Immediate 'Context' Itself:
"he, the righteous "withholder/restrainer" Is Removed First!
(2 Thessalonians 2:6-8a)
And:
... ↓ Mystery ↓
The Grace Gospel Is Ended, By God, Making Way For His Other prophetic kingdom gospel.
( ↑ Romans - Philemon ↑) ... { ask for Part 4 of this study } ...( ↑ Mat 24:14; Rev 14:6 ↑)
Amen?
The "man of sin / son of perdition" Cannot be revealed Until The Church [ he ],
the "righteous restrainer" is Removed Away From the earth! First! (2 Th 2:3, 6-8a!),
Then begins The [ prophesied ] Time Of Jacob's ( Israel's ) Trouble!"
Amen?
(D)
Quadruple Confirmation Is Comparing This
One difficult/obscure verse
with The Twenty Seven Plain And Clear Passages About The Body Of Christ!:
"Looking, Patiently waiting, and watching for our Blessed Hope!"
( Romans 8:18, 19, 23, 25; 1 Corinthians 1:7; Ephesians 6:12-18;
Philippians 3:20; Colossians 3:2, 4:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 5:5-11;
2 Thessalonians 3:5; Titus 2:13 )
{ All Are Clearly e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d in Part 8 of this study, ask If review is needed? },
q: Are we to be "looking for the Wicked one," First? or:
"Looking, Patiently waiting, and watching for The 'Holy One':
The Lord Jesus Christ, First?
Thus, It Is Very Plain And Clear, According To God's Precious Word Of Truth,
{ Left In 'God's Contexts' Amen? }, That!:
The Reliable Scripture (
Rule # 6 )
Interpreting Itself, for "
The falling away" Is:
...Of The Body Of Christ { Removing he, who "hindereth/withholdeth" },
"Away From the earth!" Correct?
+ ---------------
The
Timing belief matters, Because It
Determines how one 'Prepares!' Amen?:
(E)
Which is Better?:
men instructing
watchmen to
look for the antichrist, And
preparing by 'Selfishly Hoarding Up' seven years of food for famine, to
"endure to the end of Great Tribulation," thus, "living By sight [ 'signs' ]"?
Or:
Obeying God, Under His Amazing Grace, "walking By faith, Not by sight" (2Co 5:7)
"Looking, Patiently waiting, and watching For [ our Blessed Hope! ]"
The Lord Jesus Christ!...
...While loving our neighbor, And Selflessly working to use God's { Provided }
money to 'Give to them in need,' while performing All "good works" For God,
in Order To Be:
►►► Prepared For Judgment In Heaven! ◄◄◄
(1 Corinthians 3:8-15! cp 1 Corinthians 4:12; Ephesians 4:28;
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12; Philippians 4:19; 2 Corinthians 9:8;
Romans 12:20) Amen?
(F) Finally,
If Any Dear Reader
Still 'believes' one
Will See anti-christ
First, and Enter Into Great Tribulation, "under his { Satan's } governmental
reign," then does one not have The Following Scriptural Dilemma?
Please Prayerfully/Carefully Consider This:
Out-Of-Place Problem! From God And His Precious Word!:
All 'members' of The Body Of Christ Are Instructed, By God, To:
"be subject to governmental authorities, And pray For them!"
(Romans 13:1-7; Titus 3:1; 1 Timothy 2:1-4).
How does that then 'work out' ( In Disobedience? ), for the Body Of Christ
'members,' who believe they Will Go Into the Great Tribulation, as "the
government [ In "The Time of Jacob's ( Israel's ) Trouble" ] Will Be
Under The Control" Of Satan and the Beast! (Revelation 13:4)?
And, in addition, there are Also 'Post Departure Deceptions'
( # 16, If one 'wishes to review' - just ask... )
"Prove All things; hold fast That Which Is Good!" (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
-----------------------------------
10) The Day Of Christ vs Day Of The Lord vs Day Of God
11)
Confidence in death/resurrection Or in living/glorification
12) No 'warning'
Imminence
13) Two 'Trumps of God' In The Age of Grace
14) Meeting Christ 'in the air'
15) Preparation for 'Judgment Of The
Entire Body Of Christ'
16) Post Departure
Deceptions
[ other expansions

The
Final Conclusion of
study of
all The Scriptures
found in the above 16 parts:
Amen...
