not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of
sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"

...Our purpose in writing this article is not to defend or to attack anyone, but
simply to consider whether arguments for a post-tribulation Rapture are valid...
...Years ago we printed an article entitled First the Departure, in which we dealt at
length with a passage of Scripture which does explicitly affirm that the Rapture
will precede the tribulation. In this article we gave conclusive evidence that the
words hee apostasia in II Thessalonians 2:3 should have been rendered “the
departure” rather than “a falling away” and that the passage thus reads:
“Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day [ The Day Of
The LORD ]...shall not come except the departure come first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.”
The preceding verses and the preceding letter written by Paul to these same
people all bear witness that “The Departure” referred to is The Departure of
believers to go and be with Christ...
