Regarding the "falling
away" Jesus said that He saw that event happen
in a vision according to :
Luke 10:18 ( Jesus speaking )
"I beheld Satan, as
lightning, FALL FROM HEAVEN."
Now look WHO IT IS that is
being spoken of IN CONJUNCTION WITH the
"falling away", IN THE SAME
SENTENCE , in the
following Scripture:
"....as that THE DAY OF CHRIST
( the resurrection/rapture ) is at hand.......... for
THAT DAY shall NOT come , except there come A
FALLING AWAY FIRST , and THAT MAN
OF SIN be revealed, the SON OF PERDITION."
This
Scripture plainly states that "the son of
perdition" who is "that man of sin" , ie. the
anti-Christ , will "be revealed" as the result of
Satan's "falling away FIRST" from heaven,
and cast down to earth. The FIRST THING
that Satan does AFTER "falling away "
from heaven and cast down to earth is REVEAL
HIS ANTI-CHRIST according to BOTH
SCRIPTURES : 2 Thessalonians 2:2-3
and Revelation 13:1-8.
According
to Your Holy Word, come Lord Jesus !
