Hi ShilohsfoalI didn't say anything about an antichrist.
I said the great tribulation spoken of by Jesus in Mathew 24 takes place after the persecution of the saints.
And yes,Daniel states that take place in that order.
Ok. Do you believe that the event that Jesus is speaking of in the passage of Matthew, is the same event that Paul speaks of here?
Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
So, do you believe that the 'tribulation spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 24' is the same time period as the 'rebellion' that occurs in Paul's message here?
God bless,
Ted
