- Before He establishes His kingdom on earth, Jesus will come for His Church, an event commonly referred to as the "Rapture." At that time the dead in Christ will be raised and living Christians will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and be with Him forever.

Jan 1, 2008 · The Second Coming of Christ is preceded by a number of world-shaking events that must occur before Christ can return. This is in contrast to the rapture of the church, which is always presented in Scripture as an imminent event.
Jan 4, 2022 · The Antichrist will be defeated at the second coming of Jesus described in Revelation 19. Since Christians will be raptured before the beginning of the tribulation, we who are alive during the church age will not see the Antichrist’s rise to power.
Bible Answer: The timeline of the future end times is revealed in Daniel 9:27 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3. So, the question is what is the order of events. Is it the rapture, the antichrist, the peace treaty with Israel, and then the Day of the Lord? The answer is provided in this article.
Sep 30, 2024 · The glorious appearing is when Jesus Christ appears on the clouds to rescue those believers who are alive and to resurrect believers who have died. This is the glorious appearing of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Titus 2:13 describes Jesus as “our great God”—a strong statement of the deity of Jesus Christ.

Part 4 of this series about Antichrist is, perhaps, the most important—The Time of Antichrist’s Appearing. If we are uninformed about Antichrist’s person, plans, and signs, then the previous messages will provide vital information to identify him. One danger I see is that many Christians are told and believe that Antichrist isn’t coming until after...
However, the Apostle Paul provides sufficient evidence that Antichrist precedes Jesus’ coming in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. After presenting the explicit teaching, I will provide strong evidence that the “coming” in 2 Thessalonians 2 is the same as the “coming” in 1 Thessalonians 4. In 1-2 Thessalonians, Paul handles this issue from a different ang...
In the context of the two Thessalonian epistles, 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 instructs us on, among other things, the timing of Antichrist’s coming. Our central stepping stone into this topic is the Greek word for ‘coming’ or ‘arrival’ (Greek: parousia), which plays a critical role in understanding the timing. Paul uses the term ‘parousia’ 7 times (1...
The Lawless One, the first beast (cf. Rev 13:1-12), arrives before Christ. This timing is crystal clear in these verses. 7 For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work. However, the one who holds him back will do so until he is taken out of the way, 8 and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of h...
Paul uses the same word, parousia, in 1 Thessalonians 4:15 as used in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-9. This itself is a convincing argument, mainly if one traces the 24 usages in the New Testament. Paul acknowledges Jesus’ parousia in 2 Thessalonians 2:1,8 and 1 Thessalonians 4:15 as the same. Carefully developed eschatology schematics, however, can cover up...
Antichrist’s coming precedes Jesus’ return. The same term ‘parousia’ used in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 2 Thessalonians 2 assumes and proves them to be the same event. The term ‘the day of the Lord’ and its theme of judgment (cf. 2 Thes 1) bring comfort to the afflicted Thessalonians and to all of God’s people, for Jesus will slay the evil one with the ...
Mar 15, 2024 · Christ comes in the clouds to “snatch away” all those who trust in Him (1 Corinthians 15:52). At this same time, the “dead in Christ” will be resurrected and taken to heaven, too. From our perspective today, this is the next event in the eschatological timeline.
