Happy New Year, Pastor Steve. I am watching from Sydney Australia AM on New Year’s Day 2025. I actually am only at Psalm 130 and do follow your explanations and helpful thoughts daily. I am thinking of reading the book of Deuteronomy after Psalm. Thankyou for your powerful ministry. I’ve been really convicted about the importance of fellowshipping and worshipping with God’s people regularly.

Amen tysm pastor i appreciate you and look forward to spending 2025 with you !

Jesus is the word made flesh.

"Let the text say what the text says..." With this statement, I can agree with you, brother, but for the rapture coming after all these things, I cannot agree. This is how I read this passage. The first problem with this passage is that the Greek texts disagree: some say “the day of Christ” while others say “the Day of the Lord.” This is easy to solve. Which of the two terms did Paul use in his rapture passage in His first letter? He used the Day of the Lord in his first letter. I suspect these two terms meant the same thing to Paul, for after all, Christ is Lord. These believers were under severe persecution, and somehow, they had come to believe that this persecution was the Day of the Lord, that they were under the wrath of God. The day of the rapture would simply not fit here. (Supposing the Day of Christ is the day of the rapture, as some suppose.) Some people imagine the rapture begins the day of the Lord, so they almost equate the Day of the Lord with the rapture. This cannot be, for Isaiah 13 tells us how the day of the Lord begins, not with the rapture, but with "WRATH and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate and to destroy the sinners in it." (Not one word of this fits the rapture.) The second problem is that the KJV missed the tense of a Greek word in verse 2. Here is how it should read. 2 Thes. 2:2: *not to be quickly unsettled or alarmed either by a [so-called prophetic revelation of a] spirit or a message or a letter [alleged to be] from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has [already] come.* (AMP) (The Greek word translated "at hand" is in the perfect tense.) Then a worse problem: almost every English translation adds words to verse 3 using the false idea that the Day was only "at hand." ("That day shall not come...") This is a better translation of verse 3. 1535 Coverdale Bible (added words removed) *Let no man disceaue you by eny meanes. For, excepte the departynge come first, and that Man of Synne be opened, even the sonne of perdicion.* (Old English spelling.) It goes without saying that Paul must have expected his readers to know what he meant by the definite departing. If we look in his first letter, the definite or significant departing was the rapture. The rapture or gathering was the theme of this passage. Then in verses 6-8 Paul tells us that there is a power that is holding back or restraining the revealing of the man of sin until the proper time. Of course, God would know that proper time. The point is, the man of sin cannot be revealed UNTIL the power restraining him is “taken out of the way." Yet, read verse 3 carefully with verses 6-8 in mind. Did you notice that in verse 3b the man of sin IS revealed? (Not in reality but in Paul's argument.) Yet, in verses 6-8 he told us that the man of sin could NOT be revealed until the power restraining that revealed was taken out of the way. Therefore, logic tells us that somewhere in verse 3a we MUST find something being "taken out of the way." The ONLY word I can find that makes any sense is "apostasia" as something “taken out of the way.” Several early translations into English translated this word as the "departing." Isaiah 13 tells us how the day of the Lord begins, not with the rapture, but with "WRATH and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate and to destroy the sinners in it." (Not one word of this fits the rapture.) 1384 Wycliffe N.T. That no man deceyue you in any maner / for no but *departynge aweye* (or dissencon) schal come firste & the man of synne schall be schewid [shewed] the sone of perdicioune. 1534 Tyndale N.T. Let no ma deceave you by eny meanes for the lorde commeth not excepte ther come *a departynge first* and that that synfnll man be opened ye sonne of perdicion 1535 Coverdale Bible Let no man disceaue you by eny meanes. For the LORDE commeth not, excepte *the departynge come first* and that Man of Synne be opened, even the sonne of perdicion. 1539 Cranmer Great Bible Let no man deceaue you by any meanes, for the Lorde shall not come excepte there come *a departinge fyrst* & that that synfull man be opened, the sonne of perdicion. 1549 Matthew's Bible Let no man deceyue you by any meanes, for the Lord commeth not, except there come *a departyng first* and that, that sinful man be opened, the sonne of perdicyon 1565 Beza Bible Let no man deceiue you by any meanes: for [that day shall not come,] except there come *a departing first* and that man of sinne be disclosed, [euen] the son of perdition. 1575 Geneva Bible Let no man deceiue you by any meanes for that day shal not come, except there come *a departing first* and that man of sinne be disclosed, euen the sonne of perdition. We must make note that what is being departed from is NOT INCLUDED in the Greek word, Apostasia. One must find that out in the rest of the passage. In other words, no one can say that Paul wrote of a departure “from the faith.” I cannot find any hint of a departure “from the faith” in the context of this word, or anywhere in this passage. I can find Paul’s theme of the rapture. Did Paul hint of a departure in his theme? Yes, for at the rapture, the church will certainly depart from this world. Paul was talking about a specific departing. What departing did Paul have in mind? All we need do is look at *Paul's theme, the rapture.* Here is what Strong tells us about this compound word. The question is, CAN this word mean something else then apostasy? It is a compound word - "apo" and "stasia." Here is what Strong says about "apo:" 1. of separation… 1 A. of local separation, 1B. of separation of a part from the whole 1B i. where of a whole some part is taken 1C. of any kind of separation of one thing from another… 1D. of a state of separation, that is of distance 1Di. physical, of distance of place At the rapture, will some part of the entire population be taken? The answer is YES. Will those taken be separated by DISTANCE? Again, the answer is YES. The other part of the compound word 'stasia" is where we get "stationary" or "not moving" from. Putting these two words together then can certainly mean a part of a whole group suddenly moved from where they were to a new location, and it happen so fast, the rest of the whole group seems stationary - not moving. In other words, Paul’s order of events is the rapture or gathering FIRST, as the restraining power, the Holy Spirit working through the believers, is "taken out of the way," then the revealing, and after someone sees these two events, they can know for sure that the Day of the Lord has started, and they are then in it; they are under God’s wrath. Then in verse 6 Paul wrote, "and now you know what is restraining..." HOW, Paul? HOW can we now know? I believe Paul wrote this passage so that if his letter was read by Romans, they would discard it as nonsense. Yet, he expected those that had heard him in person and had His first letter to understand. I believe he wrote, "and now you know..." because he had JUST TOLD THEM, (the readers) but did it in a cloaked manner, so they would go back and study it more carefully. I believe this is one way one can tell if they really understand this passage: do they know who the restrainer is? If they don't, they also don't understand this passage. Then there is parallelism: verse 3 parallels verses 6-8: in the first half of a verse, something is restraining, but in the second part of the verse the restrainer is removed and the man of sin is revealed. I find then, that when the entire passage is considered, along with Paul's rapture passage in His first letter, that Paul probably was thinking of a spatial departure, which would be the rapture of the church. If not, then Paul gave us his theme, but never satisfied that theme by including the rapture somewhere in the passage. A good test of anyone's study of this passage is, does their theory include who the restrainer is and where in this passage Paul gives us that knowledge?

Amen!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
