THIS SCRIPTURE SETTLES THE
CONTROVERSY.........
There is a controversy among Christians
whether Jesus Christ appears first or the anti-Christ
appears first to the world. Who should the world be watching
for to appear first ? The following Scriptures tell us who
to be watching for :
"And now you know what withholdeth that
he might be revealed in his own time. For the mystery on
iniquity doth already work : only He who now letteth will
let, UNTIL HE BE TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY. And THEN
shall that WICKED ONE BE REVEALED, whom the Lord shall
consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with
the brightness of His coming."
Who is being withheld or restrained, and
"THEN" will be revealed in his own time? The
"wicked one" or anti-Christ of course.
Who is doing the restraining "UNTIL" He
is taken out of the way or removed? The Holy Spirit
within the Body of Christ Church on earth of course.
Therefore the Church must be removed by
the rapture, at the appearing of Jesus, FIRST BEFORE
the anti-Christ can be revealed in his own time. The phrase
"in his own time" means that the anti-Christ is revealed to
the world AFTER Jesus removes His Church by virtue
of the rapture.
The Body of Christ Church on earth, in
which the Holy Spirit is dwelling, is acting as a cage that
is holding-back a wild gorilla from escaping into the
world. When the cage is removed, or "taken out of the way",
the gorilla is "THEN" set loose upon the world.
Jesus will appear FIRST to rapture His
Church to heaven thereby allowing the anti-Christ to be
revealed to the world AFTER the rapture. The Church will be
in heaven BEFORE the anti-Christ is revealed to the
world.
DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF
"WATCHING" FOR THE ANTI-CHRIST TO APPEAR BEFORE THE
LORD APPEARS !!!
