The revelation of the Antichrist is the key to understanding when Rapture takes place.
When I see a man that brings peace to the Middle East- Israel, and Palestine and the rest of the world, that man is the Antichrist. Dan.9:25-27.
When this peace accord is signed, this world has 7 years to the end and the beginning of the millennium. This revelation that Daniel gives us however will only be seen by those who are students of prophecy. What I mean by that is, while the world will see this person as a great statesman- who has accomplished what no man has done in history- students of prophecy will at that time know that he is the Antichrist : the one Satan will possess after he is cast down, as we read in Rev.12. At this point of signing the accord, he is good till Satan possess him to attack Christians and Jews who missed Rapture (Rev.12:13-17).
The next thing to help us with the timing is THE SPECIFIC NO OF DAYS THE ANTICHRIST IS EXPECTED TO BE ON EARTH: 3½ years. Rev.12:6; “And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.” (Rev 13:5). This again is 3½ years using Jewish 30 days a month to calculate the time of the Antichrist.
On this men of God has said different things and many are now confused about the timing of the Rapture; just stay with what the Bible says about the 3½ years of Great Tribulation- the time alloted to the Antichrist.
Just live for God every day.
If Rapture is for our time, the Antichrist will show up, and students of prophecy will identify him when he initiates the peace accord. But from what we see in the churches around us, his revelation is near :”Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:” (2Ths 2:1-8)
Note: fallen away from the faith – already fulfilled, going by the lukewarmness, excessive love of money and rampant sin, arising from the hell initiated doctrine of Once Saved Forever Saved which says basically that sin cannot stop you from going to heaven since the blood of Jesus has sanctified you. This is contrary to Romans 6:1:2; Rm. 6:15-16; Phili. 2:12-16. But the Antichrist – the good respected and loved statesman cannot be revealed until he that letteth is taken away – via Rapture. So until Rapture takes place in the middle of the 7 YEARS KICK-STARTED BY THE SIGNING OF THE ACCORD THE BAD ANTICHRIST CANNOT OPERATE.
That’s the TIME LINE!!!
