No it doesn't. Prove it.
You really mean, one has to listen to the pre-trib doctrinists to fathom those ideas, for that's who's pushing them, and not God's Holy Writ. Those of Matt.24 and Mark 13 Jesus spoke of is... His Church. Trying to separate ANY member of Christ's many-membered Body apart from His Church is a false doctrine of men. You've just yet to realize that's what those you listen to are actually doing with that idea. Apostle Paul counters that idea too, strongly, in His Epistles, when he said there is no difference in Christ's Church between believing Jew and believing Gentile. We're all the same Body in Christ Jesus, His Church. And Christ's Apostles (who were Israelites) CERTAINLY were part of the early foundation of Christ's Church!
I have read it, but not just that, but studied it closely. Paul is clearing up a confusion the Church at Thessalonica had about the time of Christ's 2nd coming. He specifically stated to not allow anyone to deceive us about that event, and that TWO specific events MUST happen first, the great falling away (apostasia) and the coming of the "man of sin" to sit in a temple proclaiming himself as God, and exalting himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped.
The idea of the one who lets in 2 Thess.2 is not The Holy Spirit. It's the Archangel Michael, as we were shown about his holding Satan ("prince of Persia" title, that given in the heavenly perspective there) back in the Daniel 10 chapter.
The subject of discussion is not whether our Lord Jesus will return, for He will as He said. The subject is the time order of events in God's Word that shows what must happen first before... He returns. You should be studying those Scriptures for yourself instead of just heeding doctrines those you listen in the world.
The Pre-Trib Secret Rapture theory began in 1830's Britain with Edward Irving's Church in association with John Darby and the Plymouth Brethren movement. There was a writing of a Jesuit earlier that they refer to.
[1]There are to many scriptures that prove the pre-trib rapture for it not to be true.
[2]You don't know the difference between the "Elect Jews" and the "Elect Church", And thats your problem.
[3]If you have studies 2 Thess 2, You would know the truth, And that is, "The Church has to go before the anti-christ can start the tribulation period.
You would know why Paul wrote the letter to the Church, He wrote it because some of your bunch were saying the Church has to go through the tribulation, So Paul explained the truth [That the Church has to go before the ant-christ can come] To them.
[4]The Greek meaning for, "Apostasy" Doesn't mean a falling away from the faith, Please read 2Thess 2: 3, And you'll see it doesn't say, "A falling waway FROM THE FAITH" Does it??, NO..NO.. false teachers made that l mistake.
"Falling away", Means, "A Departing, A taking away. And when you read it in it;s right context, Youll see it means the pre-trib rapture.
[5]The one who lets in 2 Thess.2 is not the Archangel Michael, It's the Church and the Holy Spirit that is in the world, Not the Archangel Michael.
[7]One of the events that will happen in the end times, Is, The Church will be gloryfied and Just like Jesus,, SO, As I said, If the devil couldn't handle ONE Jesus, How is he going to deal with millions of Christians who are just like Jesus??, he can't, Thats why the Church has to be raptured before the anti-christ can come, As 2 Thess 2 tells us.
[8]The pre-trib rapture began in the Bible, Not in the 1830s.
I think you need to study the end times more deeply.
Why in the world do people want to tribulate when the Bible tells us we will escape it??.
There are ne scriptures that prove the Church goes through the tribulation period.
There are scriptures that say the Jews and the backsliders will go through the tribulation, But not those who are ready and watching.
To say the Church has to go through the tribulation period, Is to call Jesus anda God inspired Paul a liar, Becuase they both said we will escape the coming tribulation period.
