Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17
Can you point out "my wording" in this verse.
1 Thess 415-17 and 2Thess 2:6-9 is speaking about the beast out of the sea who gives power to the beast out of the earth which is the son of perdition being the false prophet that will show great signs in the sky and promises peace and safety to all who will bow down to this one world political, economic and religious system. This beast out of the earth will even be able to deceive the very elect if possible. Rev Chapter 13; Matthew 24:24.
Rev 19 shows where we now come back with Jesus having been caught up to the clouds to meet Him in the air for the marriage of the Lamb has come and we are now clothed in fine linen, clean and white. We are His army that comes down to earth with Him as He destroys the beast out of the sea and the beast out of the earth and then we are with the Lord forever.
It takes the whole of scripture from Genesis to Revelation to cross reference that of what the OT prophets prophesied that is revealed and fulfilled in the NT and those things that will be fulfilled in the end of days.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8
The brightness of His coming will destroy the antichrist, the man of sin, the lawless one.
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
The same coming of the Lord that causes the gathering of His people, is also the same coming of the Lord that destroys the antichrist.

BRIGHTNESS isn't there. Adding the word changes the meaning of the sentence.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. NKJV
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: KJV
Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming. NASB
And then the lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. NIV
and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence, YLT
It is the same coming of the Lord that destroys the antichrist, that also brings about the gathering of His people.
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him...
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the ________ of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:1,8

Another example of same word 2015. epiphaneia
2 Timothy 1-10
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
But is now made manifest by the brightness of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
2015 (epipháneia) literally suggests an appearing that builds on (Gk epi) on the characteristics of a particular situation.

2Thessalonians 2:3 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;
2Thessalonians 2:8 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:
Both these verses are speaking about the beast out of the sea and the beast out of the earth, Rev 13, who will cause a falling away in.
Vs. 3 The man of sin being the son of perdition is the false prophet that will go out and deceive the world
vs. 8 Wicked be revealed and consumed with the spirit of his mouth, Rev 19:15, shall destroy with the brightness of the coming of Jesus.

ἐπιφάνεια • (epipháneia) f (genitive ἐπιφανείας); first declension
- appearance, manifestation (especially of a divine or royal figure)

- fame, distinction
You seem to be missing the point.
The coming of the Lord that gathers His people, is the same coming of the Lord that destroys the antichrist.
It doesn't matter what commentary you read, or if the word is brightness or appearing or manifestation, but the fact that the antichrist is destroyed at His coming, the same coming, by which His people are gathered.
The coming of the Lord results in: The gathering [resurrection/rapture] of His people and the destruction of the antichrist.
Can you see this?

If you wish to change it to something else after being shown it's not there then what else is changed?
It doesn't end with one word you know.
Then Apostasy is changed to Rapture to suit, etc , etc
Once its done the action of repeating it is of no concern.
I take Revelation 22:18 quite seriously.

*edit*
markathome, where in scripture does it speak of Jesus coming back from heaven twice and how can you not see the word brightness right there in that verse being the glory of Christ who will reveal and destroy that wicked one in whom is the son of perdition that will cause many to take his mark and bow down and worship him.
2Thessalonians 2:8 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:
Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
2Thessalonians 2:8 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:
Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
The apostasy comes before His coming and the gathering [resurrection/rapture]. That's the point.
...for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first,
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
Please point out what I have changed?

What difference are you referring to sir?
Brightness is not the subject. The subject is the coming of the Lord.
If you don't like the way the King James or the New King James has the word brightness, translated, then that's just fine, the result is still the same at the coming of the Lord.
These two things happen at His coming.
The gathering of His people and the destroying of the antichrist.
The coming of the Lord results in: The gathering [resurrection/rapture] of His people and the destruction of the antichrist.

First you're not even reading what I have been writing or even trying to understand it.
If so you wouldn't even be asking such a question as I have already answered it multiple times.
You are just repeating the words from a book of poetry & refusing to look any deeper.
