Connecting the dots part seven Q and A

Q: What's Paul telling the breathern in 2 Thessalonians 2:1 when he refers to the: coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to meet Him? A: The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ=the rapture of the church and our gathering together to meet Him=being gathered together to meet Him at the rapture. Q: What's Paul's meaning in 2 Thess. 2:3 for that Day will not come? A: The Day=The Day of Christ=the rapture. Q: What's Paul's meaning in 2 Thess. 2:3 unless the falling away happens first? A: For many centuries, the church was mislead into believing that Paul was talking about a spiritual falling away instead of a physical falling away or departure. The word departure can mean both or either one. In this case it means our physical falling away=our physical departure from the world at the harpazo. Q: What does Paul mean when he states unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed? A: The man of sin cannot be revealed (made known to the left behind world) unless the falling away (departure of the saints has first occurred.) Q: What's restraining, the man of lawlessness in 2 Thess. 2:6? A: The Holy Spirit's indwelling of the raptured believers in Christ Jesus is restraining (preventing the man of lawlessness from being revealed.) Q: How long has the mystery of lawlessness been at work and who is the restrainer who must be taken out of the way in 2 Thess. 2:7? A: Ever since the Garden of Eden, and the Holy Ghost (the restrainer must be taken out of the way) in order for the man of lawlessness to be able to be revealed. Q: Will the Lord first allow the lawless one to be revealed before his ultimate destruction according to 2 Thess. 2:8? A: Before his destruction, he must be allowed to be revealed by the Lord: He will be consumed by the breath of His coming (the second coming of Christ Jesus) and destroy with the brightness of His coming. Q: Who is responsible for the coming of the lawless one, according to 2 Thess. 2:9-11? A: The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying (false counterfeit) wonders, and with all unrighteousness deception among those who perish, because they did not believe the truth, that they might be saved. God sends them strong delusion to believe the lie, they might be condemned that didn't believe the truth
