Have you considered 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. I am not going to post it but take the time to notice it carefully and tell me what you think.
Notice specifically in verse #1 that there is a "Gathering together to Him".
I personally believe that Paul is talking about the Rapture.
Then verse #3 says that there must be a "Falling away". The Greek word there is ....."Apostasia". Then the A/C will be revealed.
Verses #7 and #8 are redundant Scriptures and they confirm verses 1-3.
Then in verse #12 we read..........
"That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness".
so then according to those Scriptures there is ...........
1. A GATHERING of saints.
2. A FALLING AWAY.
3. The Anti-Christ.
4. Those left at that time who did not believe on Christ to be saved,,,,,"THEY ALL might be damned".
Does that say to you that the people who have HEARD the gospel today and rejected Christ, then the GATHERING takes place which ushers in the A/C......then those people can not be saved during the next 7 years???????
So where does the revival come from Revelation 7:14 1............
"And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
Could they come from nations such as Muslims, Hindus, achiest China etc. who have never heard the gospel???????
