Dear Doves,

 

2 Thessalonians 2:7

".......but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so til He is taken out of the way."   (He is taken out of the way by the rapture)

 

Revelation 13:5

"The beast was given.....to exercise his authority for forty-two months."  (the reign of the anti-Christ's authority on earth is for forty-two months)

 

2 Thessalonians 2:8

".....whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of His mouth and destroy by the splendor of His Coming."  (Jesus destroys the anti-Christ's authority after forty-two months)

 

 

The Scriptures referenced above tell us that after the Holy Spirit is "taken out of the way" by the rapture of the Church/bride the anti-Christ is then given 'his authority for forty-two months" on earth, and after that the Lord Jesus will destroy the anti-Christ "with the breath of His mouth" and  "by the splendor of His Coming".

 

Can you not see the truth in what these Scriptures tell us that the rapture of His Church/bride comes forty-two months before the Second Coming of the Lord ?

 

According to Your Word, come Lord Jesus!
