Dave, read the rapture verses in 1Thessalonians5:9-11 in context of the chapter. Beginning of the Day of the Lord is the time of wrath. The Day of the Lord does not begin until the two things happen first in 2Thessalonians2:3-4.


“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” 1 Thessalonians 5:9–11 (KJV 1900)

“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; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4 (KJV 1900)

You are reading your ideas into this. The whole world remains under wrath from day one.

“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;” Ephesians 2:1 (KJV 1900)


“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;” Colossians 2:13 (KJV 1900)
I agree I have a new life in Christ. IMO the new birth is not the resurrection.My knee hurts this morning and I'm hungry.
From Revelation 7
16“They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any heat;17for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

Many Christians believe, as you can tell from these comments, that the end of the Man of Lawlessness must come soon after he is revealed. But the scripture does not say that. The word used to describe his end is "then," which denotes a sequence in time and not a time length.

When the scripture claims the Man of Lawlessness will be revealed, Paul meant revealed to Christ's true followers. All New Testament scriptures were written to Christ's true followers, so the revealing would be to them. They would recognize it.
Revealed, like the book of Revelation means ti uncloak a secret, or to unveil it, to take away the covering cloak so to speak. As if something has a blanket covering it and its pulled down, or as if something is behind a curtain, and its raised. So the MAN OF SIN is to be REVEALED, UNVEILED, or whatever way one wishes to describe his revealing. And of course its a man, that is why Paul uses Man of Sin !!

Paul gives enough information to identify him here:

"3Let no one deceive you in any way, for it [the end] will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed. 4He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.5Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you? 6And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work"

Uses a bible that agrees with your thinking doesn't change the meaning of the actual scriptures Paul wrote. Its not a REBELLION, its a DEPARTURE from earth by the CHURCH.

First notice that in vs6 Paul claims they knew what was restraining him, and that his lawlessness was already at work. So this could not be a single man as many Christians claim. Because no single man lives from the day of the apostles until Christ comes. Second, note Paul's scripture (vs4) does not say he sits himself down in the temple of a false god. It says he sits down in the temple of God. So he sits down inside the Christian congregation, since the congregation (it's individual members) is described as God's temple. The Man of Lawlessness' appearance is associated this with a rebellion. Where would this be? Obviously inside the church he sits down in. He (those that are part of this group)) raises himself above every so called god, and object of worship, thus demanding Christians follow him (them), making himself (by their teachings) a god to those who follow him. As Christ said, "worship your god and serve him only."

The type of lawlessness Paul spoke of was existent when he wrote this. However, it might not have been recognized by the average Christian, because something was retraining its obvious appearance. vs 7 "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed"

Look at the KJV instead !! 2 Thess. 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

The KJV doesn't say you know what restrains HIM it says you know what withholdeth that HE might be revealed in his time meaning when God allows it, the HE is not known, of course, but when its time WHOEVER it is will then be REVEALED. So what is being WITHHELD ? Satan is not being allowed to bring forth the Anti-Christ he so desires, that is obvious. Who gives him his power and great authority ?

Rev. 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

So it is Satan who BRINGS FORTH the Man of Sin, but only when God allows it. So Satan is being WITHHELD currently from bringing HIM FORTH, whoever HE is.

Jesus says he STANDS in the Holy of Holies or the PLACE where he ought not. Its an IMAGE of the Beast that is placed in the Temple. There is no reference to a rebellion in the passage, it says DEPARTURE, an no FAITH is spoken of in the passage !!

Read Paul's letters. Also read Peter, James, Jude, and John's Revelation that speaks of Babylon the Great, "a city that is over all the kings of the earth." You might also look into the history of the church which confirms Paul's words. It's historical actions reveal its apostasy, even if your understanding of biblical doctrine needs improving, for everyone can understand the NT does not approve of much of its historical actions.

But their end will be when Christ comes. Read Matthew chapter 7.
Babylon is code for this whole Wicked World.

Were those fed to lions by Nero under wrath? How could it be any different in the tribulation to come? The entire NC era is tribulation for believers.
The Church was built via our TRAILS and TROUBLES. We overcame the world by our blood. Via our testimony on life and in death we overcame the wicked one and his wicked people, so much so that he had to resort to having a religion with one god, Allah, to deceive the masses in many nations, because Satan couldn't compete via many false gods so he resorted to a unified movement where he could then fight back Christianity. That was his changed strategy, he went from the many false gods strategy of Babylon too Islam.

No, it's after the sixth seal and before the seventh seal is opened


“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:12–17 (KJV 1900)

No, Jesus states in Matt 24 the same cosmic signs when he'll gather his elect. The sixth seal is Matt 24: 29-31
29“But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30“And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. 31“And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPETand THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Then the seventh seal is open, not the end of the world.

Wrath on the world, not believers.

Obviously I’m not Pretrib. I just stated Matt 24:29-31 and the six seal were the same
Don’t know why you would say that ?

Dave, 1Thessalonians and 2Thesslonians was written by the same one apostle Paul to the same group of Christians with a message about the future. It is not a history lesson.

Since scripture never mentions a pre trib rapture, this also proves it is a lie.

Archangel Michael is the restrainer.
At the end times, the devil (Antichrist little horn) makes war with the saints and overcomes them for a time. So the church is not restraining the devil then is it?
Besides that it is a 'he' that is restraining, a singular being.
AND if the saints are given into devils hands for a time, then they have not left the earth have they.

Daniel 7
20 and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.

21 “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.

23 “Thus he said:

‘The fourth beast shall be
A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
24 The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute[j] the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.


26 ‘But the court shall be seated,
And they shall take away his dominion,
To consume and destroy it forever.
27 Then the kingdom and dominion,
And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’
So, when does the Holy Spirit leave?

For the Day will not come until after the Apostasy has come and the man who separates himself from Torah has been revealed, the one destined for doom. 4 He will oppose himself to everything that people call a god or make an object of worship; he will put himself above them all, so that he will sit in the Temple of God and proclaim that he himself is God.

5 Don’t you remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, so that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For already this separating from Torah is at work secretly, but it will be secretly only until he who is restraining is out of the way. 8 Then the one who embodies separation from Torah will be revealed, the one whom the Lord Yeshua will slay with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the glory of his coming.

9 When this man who avoids Torah comes, the Adversary will give him the power to work all kinds of false miracles, signs and wonders. 10 He will enable him to deceive, in all kinds of wicked ways, those who are headed for destruction because they would not receive the love of the truth that could have saved them. 11 This is why God is causing them to go astray, so that they will believe the Lie. 12 The result will be that all who have not believed the truth, but have taken their pleasure in wickedness, will be condemned.

13 But we have to keep thanking God for you always, brothers whom the Lord loves, because God chose you as firstfruits for deliverance by giving you the holiness that has its origin in the Spirit and the faithfulness that has its origin in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our Good News, so that you could have the glory of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm; and hold to the traditions you were taught by us, whether we spoke them or wrote them in a letter. 16 And may our Lord Yeshua the Messiah himself and God our Father, who has loved us and by his grace given us eternal comfort and a good hope, 17 comfort your hearts and strengthen you in every good word and deed.

apostacy-falling away from the truth greek 646 meaning...falling away, defection, apostacy....

in matt 24, Jesus warns of deception! so does the new testament,aka false prophets, false teachers.
4 Yeshua replied: “Watch out! Don’t let anyone fool you! 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah!’ and they will lead many astray. 6 You will hear the noise of wars nearby and the news of wars far off; see to it that you don’t become frightened. Such things must happen, but the end is yet to come. 7 For peoples will fight each other, nations will fight each other, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various parts of the world; 8 all this is but the beginning of the ‘birth-pains.’ 9 At that time you will be arrested and handed over to be punished and put to death, and all peoples will hate you because of me. 10 At that time many will be trapped into betraying and hating each other, 11 many false prophets will appear and fool many people; 12 and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah. 13 But whoever holds out till the end will be delivered. 14 And this Good News about the Kingdom will be announced throughout the whole world as a witness to all the Goyim. It is then that the end will come.snip...

Recently I heard in the Spirit that 'the restrainer was taken out of the way'. I was shocked to hear it, thinking that it was the Holy Spirit taking the church from the earth but not quite. The INFLUENCE of the Holy Spirit was taken from the earth, so more lawlessness and evil on the earth now. So the next thing to happen is for the 'son of perdition' aka AC would be revealed. I been getting a few words in Spirit like 'the 4 horsemen are now riding' and 'the persecution of the saints' and the word 'convergence'. Also the 144000 of revs 7 and 14 are sealed of G_d and now are doing the Lord's work on the earth. What that job is I don't know but they are called 'servants of G_d' and are descendants/seeds from the 12 tribes of Israel. Then there is a huge multiude out of the nations. Somehow revs 7 and 14 also has to do with the 5th trumpet. When, I don't know! re revs 9:1-12??? I also got 2 esdras 11 and 2 esdras 12...re daniel and revelations which is a composite or multi-polar beast.

Vision of the eagle and the lion
11 On the second night I had a dream. I saw an eagle, with twelve feathered wings and three heads, rising up from the sea. 2 As I looked, it spread its wings over the whole earth, and all the winds of heaven blew toward it, and the clouds gathered around it. 3 Out of its wings grew opposing wings. These became small, tiny wings. 4 Its heads were at rest. The middle head was larger than the other heads, but it was also at rest with them.

5 I kept looking and saw the eagle flying with its wings to rule over the earth and over those who lived on the earth. 6 I saw how everything under heaven was made to submit to it, and no one opposed it, not a single creature that lives on the earth. 7 I looked and saw the eagle rise on its talons and call out to its wings, saying, 8 “Don’t all watch together. Let each one sleep in its place and take turns watching, 9 but the heads will be kept for the end.” 10 I looked and saw that the voice didn’t come from its heads but from the middle of its body. 11 I counted its opposing wings, and there were eight of them. 12 A wing arose on the right side, and it ruled over the whole earth; 13 and while it was ruling, it came to an end and disappeared so that its place vanished. The next one rose up and ruled, and it held sway a long time. 14 While it was exercising its rule, it came to its end, so that it disappeared like the previous one.

15 Then a voice rang out, saying to this wing, 16 “Listen, you who have held sway over the earth all this time. I announce this to you before you begin to disappear. 17 No one after you will hold sway as long a time—not even half as long.” 18 A third wing raised itself up, and it also exercised rulership like the previous ones, and it too disappeared. 19 And so it happened to each of the wings in turn, to come to power and then never to be seen again. 20 I looked, and indeed the wings that followed on the right side also rose up in time so that they too might rule, but some of those who came to power disappeared immediately, 21 while others of them rose up but didn’t succeed in establishing their rule. 22 After all this, I looked again, and the twelve wings and two of the little wings had disappeared. 23 Nothing remained on the body of the eagle except the three heads that were at rest and six little wings.

24 I looked and noticed that two of the six little wings were set apart and remained under the head on the right side, but four remained in their place. 25 I watched as these little wings plotted to rise up and take power. 26 One was raised up, but it immediately disappeared, 27 and then a second, but this one disappeared more quickly than the previous one. 28 I saw the two that were left plotting among themselves that they too should rule, 29 and while they were making their plans, one of the heads that had been at rest, the one in the middle, woke up. This one was bigger than the other two heads. 30 I saw how it formed a partnership with the two other heads, 31 and then how the head turned with those that were with it, and it ate the two little wings that had planned to rule. 32 Moreover, this head gained power over the whole earth and dominated those who lived on it, inflicting great distress. It had greater power over the whole world than all the wings that had gone before.

33 After all this, I watched as the middle head, just like the wings, suddenly disappeared. 34 There were two heads left, however, which also ruled over the earth and over those who live on it. 35 I looked and watched as the head on the right side devoured the one on the left. 36 I heard a voice saying to me, “Look in front of you and consider what you see.” 37 I looked and saw something like a lion being roused, roaring out of the forest. I heard how he spoke in a human voice and said to the eagle, 38 “Listen, you, and I will speak to you. The Most High says to you, 39 ‘Aren’t you the last of the four beasts that I made to rule in my world so that I might bring about the end of my times through them? 40 You, the fourth that has come, conquered all the beasts that came before you, ruling over the world with much terror and over the whole world with harsh oppression. You have lived in the world with deceit for so long! 41 You judged the earth, but not in truth, 42 for you have oppressed the meek and injured those who caused no unrest. You hated those who spoke the truth and loved liars. You destroyed the dwellings of those who bore fruit and tore down the walls of those who had done you no harm. 43 Your insolence has ascended to the Most High and your pride to the mighty one. 44 The Most High has reviewed his times. Look! They are finished, and his ages are complete. 45 Therefore, eagle, you must utterly vanish, you and your terrifying wings, your dreadful little wings and your evil heads, and your dreadful talons and all your worthless body. 46 Then the whole earth will be refreshed and restored, set free from your violence, and will hope for the judgment and mercy of him who made it.’”

10 He said to me, “This is the interpretation of the vision that you saw. 11 The eagle you saw rising from the sea is the fourth kingdom. It appeared in a vision to your brother Daniel, 12 but it wasn’t interpreted for him as I now interpret it for you or have shown it to you. 13 Look, the days are coming when a kingdom will rise on earth that will be more terrifying than all the kingdoms that came before it. 14 Twelve kings will rule in it, one after the other. 15 The second one to rule will have a longer time than the rest of the twelve. 16 This then is the interpretation of the twelve wings that you saw. 17 As for the fact that you heard a voice that spoke, coming not from its heads but from the middle of its body, 18 this is the interpretation: In the midst of this kingdom’s time, great conflicts will arise. It will be in danger of falling; it won’t fall then but will be restored again to its beginning.

19 “As for the fact that you saw eight little wings clinging to its wings, 20 this is the interpretation: Eight kings will arise in it. Their rules will amount to nothing, and their years will be swift. Two of them will perish 21 when the middle of the time draws near, but four will be reserved until the time approaches for its end. Two will be preserved until the very end.

22 “As for the fact that you saw three heads at rest, 23 this is the interpretation: In the last period the Most High will raise up three kings, and he will renew many things in it, and they will rule the earth 24 and greatly oppress those who dwell on it, more than all the rest who were before them. Therefore, they are called the heads of the eagle, 25 because they will sum up its acts of impiety and complete its last deeds.

26 “As for your seeing the biggest head disappear, one of the kings will die on his bed, though in agonies. 27 As to the two who are left, the sword will destroy them. 28 The sword of one of them will destroy the one who is with him, but he too will fall by the sword in the last days.

29 “As for your seeing the two small wings passing over to the head on the right, this is the interpretation: 30 The Most High is keeping these for the eagle’s end. This rule will be weak and full of upheaval, 31 as you saw. The lion whom you saw rousing itself from the forest and roaring and speaking to the eagle and rebuking it for its deeds of injustice, as for all the words that you heard him speaking, 32 this is the anointed one. The Most High has kept him for the end of days. He will arise from the line of David, and he will come and speak to them. He will denounce their wicked acts and indict them for their injustice. He will set before them their despicable deeds. 33 He will put them on trial while they are still alive, and after he has convicted them, he will destroy them. 34 Yet he will mercifully liberate the remaining few from my people who are saved throughout my territory. He will make them joyful until the end comes—the Judgment Day, of which I have spoken to you from the beginning.snip...

I didn't get any reference for the feathers, just that most of the feathers were past tense. The belly is the usa, and the 3 heads are russia, the middle big head is china and wasn't revealed the 3rd head. the lion is Jesus/Yeshua. The focus was somehow on the bely and 3 heads.

Also revelations in not chronically written! I got Chernobyl for the 3rd trumpet which means 'wormwood' in russian.

The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is located next to the Pripyat River, which feeds into the Dnieper reservoir system, one of the largest surface water systems in Europe, which at the time supplied water to Kiev's 2.4 million residents, and was still in spring flood when the accident occurred.

On 911 I heard "babylon is fallen'??? Babylon has 2 judgements.

That's about it. Can't remember anything more. Please take this up with G_d for verification! By 2 or 3 witnesses comes to mind....

2 Corinthians 13:1...1This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”

Deuteronomy 17:6
On the testimony of two or three witnesses a man shall be put to death, but he shall not be executed on the testimony of a lone witness.

Deuteronomy 19:15
A lone witness is not sufficient to establish any wrongdoing or sin against a man, regardless of what offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Matthew 18:16
But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'
