None of the definitions for the word "genea" are the average human life span. There is nothing hard to understand about this.
Which is why I said If none of these dialects have a definition for generation then fuhgettaboutit
The person revealing himself to be the man of sin by the 2Thessalonians2:4 act will be around three years into the 7 years
No, he'll be presented at the start of the 7 years and will be mostly peaceful for the first 3 1/2 years which is when he tricks everyone in to thinking he is a good guy with answers to all the world's problems and this time will be so deceptive that many of those claiming to be Christians will also be deceived by this guy believing the Lord sent him as a blessing to mankind and they will accept and follow him!
As far as identifying who that person is - yes, it is possible to know before the 7 years start
OK, so prove you know who this person is and prove he's the actual anti-christ.
The reason you cannot prove this is because the anti-christ has not been revealed to the world yet.
All you have on this is guess work and your own opinion, no proof.
The great apostasy proceeds the Antichrist revealed.
Exactly, and that apostasy has been going on now in earnest since the 60s when the whole hippies Jesus movement got started
Every since then we've seen the rise of the false grace teaching where people think they can engage in sinful behavior and still be saved which is apostasy causing many to refuse to hear sound doctrine and to align themselves with teachers who tickle their ears and tell them only what they want to hear.
75% of Christians will know that he is the Antichrist.
When it all goes down, very few Christians will know the man of sin is the antichrist due to the apostasy most people claiming to be Christian are engaged in apostasy.
The falling away is the falling away from the laws of Moses
The Law of Moses was done away with by Jesus when He arrived and brought forth the New Covenant and He is not the High Priest
Hebrews 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
(God said He would make a New Covenant - see Jeremiah 31:31-34)
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath Jesus obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
And with the changing of the priesthood, God’s Word tells us there is also a change of the law.
Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
On Saturday I always say Peaceful Sabbath
Our peace in the New Covenant comes from Jesus, not from any sabbath days or any other observance in the old covenant.
Jesus said come unto me and I'll give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30) so abiding In Christ is the rest we are called to in the New Testament
Apostacy in the greek translated "departure" or "from standing"
Has nothing to do with the world.
Actually it does because when someone departs from the Lord they return to the world
There's only two ways to live: Following the Lord in agreement with Him and following the world in agreement with them which of course is walking with the devil.
