2 Thessalonians 2 verse 1, the Bible reads, Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from us as that the day of Christ is at hand. 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, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Now these four verses are very important to tell us that the day of Christ is not at hand. And not only that, but it's so important that he almost uses similar language to what he uses at the beginning of Galatians chapter 1 when he warns them about another gospel. And he says if any man preach any other gospel, and he says though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel. Look what he says here, you know, don't be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from us. He's saying even if you get a letter that seems like it's coming from us, and it says that the day of Christ is at hand, you know, Jesus can come back at any moment. He's saying do not be deceived by any means, not by a spirit, not by a word, not even by a letter that seems like it's coming from us. Should you ever be deceived as to think that the day of Christ is at hand. He says for that day shall not come, in verse 3, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalted himself above all that is called God of his worship. So there are a couple of things that need to happen before the day of Christ happens, okay. These are the things that have to happen. First of all, there has to be a falling away. And second of all, the man of sin has to be revealed. And it says the one who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God showing himself that he is God. This is who we would commonly know as the antichrist, okay. It's saying that the antichrist has to be revealed. And how is he going to be revealed? By sitting in the temple of God and claiming to be God. He's going to show himself that he is God unto the world. That has to happen first. So this teaching that the day of Christ can happen at any moment and that Jesus Christ can return at any moment and there will be no signs of his coming. All prophecies have been fulfilled. There's nothing left. The next event on God's prophetic timeline is the rapture. It's a false teaching because he says don't let anyone deceive you with that. And by the way, that is a deception. If somebody tells you, hey, the day of Christ is at hand, Christ returns at hand, they are a deceiver. Because the Bible says let no man deceive you with that. Now a lot of people who teach that are not trying to be deceptive. They're just repeating the deception that they've heard from someone else. They're just repeating lies that they've heard. And so they are unwittingly just being a part of this deception.
