Prophecy Alert: Alien Contact and the Great Falling Away are Imminent!

 

It looks like it is getting ready to happen any day—the great falling away is imminent! 

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; 2 Thes 2:3 

One of the events that will transpire before the great tribulation starts and the antichrist takes over the world will be the falling away spoken of in 2 Thes 2:3. Some have even termed this the Great Falling Away. 

The latest prophecy data is suggesting that the great tribulation will begin on4/19/2025, thus the great falling away would have to occur between now and then. 

My research has led me to believe that the great falling away will be precipitated by major demonic alien/UFO events, where these so-called aliens make themselves “real” or known to the world in some dramatic fashion. 

In the past I have posted many articles about this, here is one; Here Comes E.T.; Pastor Have you Warned your Flock? 

And in recently (Nov 14, 2024) I posted this forecast;

…Major UFO Events: Knowing that the antichrist will have UFO alien connections, as we grow closer to the day of his arrival on the scene aliens and UFOs are sure to make a big appearance in spectacular ways. It would not surprise me to see a UFO on the lawn of the White House. 

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor 11:14 

The spectacular UFO events are sure to be intertwined with strong religious deception precipitating the great falling away spoken of in scripture and leading to a one world religion and worship of the false messiah/antichrist. 

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Rev 13:14

And look what popped up in the news today, an interview with Clif High whose predictive linguistics, which has been accurate on many things in the past, including the drones that have been in the news recently, led him to say this about the imminent alien events that are about to transpire on earth.

 

“…because as the aliens present themselves, all religions die.”

Here is what I say; “…because as the aliens present themselves, the great falling away occurs.” 

3 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; 

4 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, shewing himself that he is God. 

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thes 2:3-12 

Do not be deceived, the so-called aliens are nothing more than a demonic deception. Don’t get caught in satan’s trap. 

This imminent alien deception falls right in line with the hypothesis that the last 7 years started in 2021, the great tribulation will start on 4/19/2025, and Armageddon will be on 9/30/2028.

BTW, the rapture will not be until after the opening of Seal 6.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Things to Watch For September 2023; Important Update

 

There are a few things that we need to watch for in the near future. One is the California mega earthquake. As you will see below, John Paul Jackson said it would follow a great storm. Was Hurricane Hillary the storm he foresaw?

 

 

“There is a an earthquake that has been predicted to devastate California. Meaning skyscrapers are going to fall that the shape of the United States will change after that earthquake. That won’t happen until after there’s a storm – a major storm is going to come to California. It’s either a hurricane of incredible force, or it is a storm of incredible force. But a great, great hurricane or incredible force is going to come to California, and the earthquake that destroys it will not happen until after that takes place. So there’s a way of saying, okay, I have time, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be an earthquake tomorrow 7.5 you know, or next week or two weeks from now of some some magnitude. I’m talking about the one that changes the shape of California where you don’t want to live in California, anywhere in California, when that happens or perhaps even most of the west coast. Where an inland ocean is formed and Baja becomes an island and the mouth of the inland ocean forms between between San Diego and Los Angeles. That is not going happen before that that storm comes. That is a sign that God is giving to the people- don’t worry about that big one. Because this sign will happen first.”

Another thing to be on the lookout for is a financial collapse. The "white hats" said the black swan events would be coming this year. One of the dates in the past that has had a lot of bad financial events occur on is Elul 29. This year Elul 29 falls on Friday September 15, 2023. And let's not forget about BRICS.

And then we have chatter about a new strain of COVID that is prompting calls for mask wearing, social distancing, and new vaccines.

And then we have all the talk about alien disclosure, that appears to be imminent, that will most likely precede the great falling away that God told us would occur before the son of perdition is revealed of which both will be before the rapture. 

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (the rapture) shall not come except there come a falling away first, and then that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

And since something must happen before the rapture occurs, THE RAPTURE IS NOT IMMINENT. And the passage goes on to tell us that another event must also happen before the rapture, which is the abomination of desolation, that will take place in the third temple.

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, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2:3,4

Update 8/27:

Here is something to keep a watch out for on September 23—a comet and the 3 days of darkness. BTW; in the past 9/23—923—239 has been a highly signaled date.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gha6ISjyVE

 

And here is something that syncs in—a comment on a video sent to me. 

"My nine year old started telling us about 3 months ago that Angels came to her & said to prepare for the 3 days of darkness. Food , water , candles - specifically. Two days ago they came again & ask her if she had prepared these things . They also told her about the planet you speak of & it will be here in days & to warn people . First the fires , then the earthquakes - then comes the tsunamis. They also said do NOT go outside once this takes place . We will know when it’s close because the trees & grass will begin to die . It is heading for us now . Prepare with water , food & candles or some kind of light . Sending prayers for all . We have told our entire family today . They also said to leave now if you are near water ."

Here Comes the Great Falling Away

 

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; 2 Thes 2:3 

God clearly tells us in His Word that during the end times a falling away is going to occur. Some have called this event the “great falling away.” And if what is planned for June 25, 2021 occurs, then I believe we are very close to seeing this event unfold right before our eyes. 

First let’s get a handle on what this falling away involves. 

The Falling Away 

Two other events in scripture that must occur before the great Day of the Lord are found in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. God, through the apostle Paul, in referring to the Day of the Lord, says, “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.” The Thessalonians had been deceived into thinking that they missed the rapture and were in the Day of the Lord period. Paul tells them that the falling away must occur before the Day of the Lord. 

The word used in the Greek for falling away is apostasia, from which we get our word “apostasy,” which basically means “backsliding.” Clarke’s commentary describes it like this: “a dereliction of the essential principles of religious truth—either a total abandonment of Christianity itself, or such a corruption of its doctrines as renders the whole system completely inefficient to salvation.”  The great falling away will be a time when professing Christians, in large numbers, will turn away from the faith. “The article makes it even more significant; this is not a falling away, but the falling away, the great and final rebellion.”  J. Hampton Keathley, III , Th.M. describes the coming apostasy like this: “The apostasy or rebellion clearly refers to a special departure and rebellion against the true God. This will become a worldwide movement and will provide the seed bed for the great system of revolt which will be headed up in the person of the Beast who will be the very personification of satan himself.”  In order for a great falling away to take place, I believe that an alternative belief system to the true gospel will be promoted with such believability that nominal Christians (not true Christians) will reject the God of the Bible. The Coming Epiphany p. 27 

Now that we have a feel for what the great falling away is, let’s consider what might cause it. 

We can only speculate as to the exact reasons for the “falling away,” but there are many plausible theories.

One such theory involves aliens. Specifically, I am talking about the theory that aliens are real space beings and are the originators of life on earth. While many believers may initially bristle at this outrageous suggestion, there is much support for this theory that “another gospel” will come at the hand of what many mistakenly believe to be alien beings. It might sound crazy at first, but it is highly likely that much of what we hear about regarding “aliens” is really demonic activity.  If you have ever researched the UFO phenomena, what is compelling is that, consistently, alien theology, as recounted in many “close encounters,” parallels the plans and purposes of satan as presented in scripture. These manifestations present themselves as angels of “light and intellectual illumination,” claim to provide leadership and hope to a suffering world, provide a source of awe, wonder, and worship that is an alternative to the God of the Bible, and even claim to be the originators of life on earth. Here is an interesting quote from a website promoting this alien theory containing an actual message from on of these aliens. 

In other words, they look like us, and we look like them. In fact, we were created "in their image" as explained in the Bible. He told Rael that: "We were the ones who designed all life on earth. You mistook us for gods. We were at the origin of your main religions. Now that you are mature enough to understand this, we would like to enter official contact through an embassy.” 

The messages dictated to Rael explain that life on Earth is not the result of random evolution, nor the work of a supernatural 'God'. It is a deliberate creation, using DNA, by a scientifically advanced people who made human beings literally "in their image" -- what one can call "scientific creationism." …For example, in Genesis, the Biblical account of Creation, the word "Elohim" has been mistranslated as the singular word "God", but it is actually a plural word which means "those who came from the sky", and the singular is "Eloha" (also known as "Allah")… 

Leaving our humanity to progress by itself, the Elohim nevertheless maintained contact with us via prophets including Buddha, Moses, Mohammed, etc., all specially chosen and educated by them. The role of the prophets was to progressively educate humanity through the Messages they taught, each adapted to the culture and level of understanding at the time. They were also to leave traces of the Elohim so that we would be able to recognize them as our Creators and fellow human beings when we had advanced enough scientifically to understand them. Jesus, whose father was an Eloha, was given the task of spreading these messages throughout the world in preparation for this crucial time in which we are now privileged to live: the predicted Age Of Revelation. 

If satan’s demonic hoard can mask as alien beings presenting a false gospel, and if this will cause many in the world to follow satan at just the right point in history to accomplish his goals, he will do it. For more information on this topic, visit thecomingepiphany.com  By the way, NASA has recently released video clips of several “alien encounters” lending more credence to the alien theory  Many people in the world have already been deceived to some degree and believe that aliens are really outer space beings, and unfortunately many Christians believe the same. The Coming Epiphany p.28 

Now that we know what the great falling away is and what might cause it, let’s consider why it may be imminent. 

Steve Bassett, who has tirelessly worked to end the 74-year embargo of classified information on UFOs, told The Sun Online he believes intelligence agencies are preparing to lift the lid on extraterrestrial encounters… 

The US Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the Director of National Intelligence to work with the Defense Department to provide a report by June 25 on unexplained sightings by the military… 

Since then, defense officials have confirmed a number of UFO sightings - and even released stunning videos which show unexplained encounters in the sky, now often known as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)… 

Bassett, the executive director of Paradigm Research Group and a lobbyist on this issue, says he believes US intelligence is about to end what he called the 74 year truth embargo. 

And he said such a release of information may be the "most profound" moment in the history of mankind. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14872946/truth-ufos-aliens-released-us/ 

Hmm…”the most profound moment in the history of mankind,” hardly, I would say the opposite. But realize this; if the UFO/alien information is released on June 25, 2021 and it is substantiated by the governments of the world, we could be looking at the imminent occurrence of the great falling away. 

And after the great falling away occurs, what would be next? 

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; 2 Thes 2:3 

Answer: The revealing of the man of sin, the son of perdition—the antichrist. And this will probably tie into all of this;  “god Will Return On July 26, 2022” 

An alien visitation on July 26th 2016 changed everything; the being spoke telepathically. All answers are in the NASA photo and this is where his story begins: aliens return to Earth July 26th, 2022, in Jerusalem, at the Temple Mount. 

Another Hmm… note the dates; June 25, 2021 to July 26, 2022 is 1 year, 1 month, and 1 day apart—the infamous 111—hardly by coincidence. And from 10/19/19 to 7/26/22 is 1011 days—another 111. And from 10/19/19 to 6/25/21 is 88 weeks. (Note: 10/19/19, as you will see below, is a possible start date for the last 7 years.) 

So are the great falling away and the revealing of the antichrist imminent? Time will tell but if it is, then so are the Seals of Revelation, which includes WW3, a worldwide financial collapse, and the death of ¼ of the world’s population. This will be followed by the takeover of the world at the midpoint for 3.5 years by the antichrist. This will be followed by his Seal 5 persecution of Jews and Christians. And this will be followed by our rescue at the Seal 6 rapture event. Here is an overview of how all of this might work out; The End Times: When?

 

Start 1	Seals 1139?	Seals 1169?	A of D 1230	Mid Pt. 1260	Bowls 2490	Arm. 2520	Mill. 2565
10/19/19	11/30/22	12/30/22	3/1/23	3/31/23	8/12/26	9/11/26	10/26/26

 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Here Comes the Great Falling Away!

If you are a regular reader of this blog you know that I have been warning for many years that there is a great end times deception coming that will involve UFOs, and will precipitate the great falling away. God tells us that this falling away is part of the events that will lead up to the coming of the antichrist.

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 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.

3 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; 2 Thes 1-3.

Here is a previous post about the coming UFO deception.

Pastors; Please Warn Your Flock About The Coming UFO ET Deception

You are probably aware that the UFO phenomenon is growing in intensity every day. So much so that even mainstream media and the government are even talking about it. For instance look at this article that popped up the other day. 

Aliens, flying discs and sightings -- oh my! A short history of UFOs in America 

The US Navy just acknowledged that three clips of declassified military footage released between 2017 and 2018 are actually "unidentified aerial phenomena" -- their words, not ours…


Throughout my life I have had occasion to visit many different churches and have listened to many sermons. Guess how many sermons I have heard about UFOs? ZERO!

So let’s reason this out; there is coming a day in the near future when ETs will be officially disclosed, spaceships and aliens will be shown in the news, and governments will admit that they are in contact with outer space aliens. I would not be surprised to even see alien spaceships on the lawn of the White House.

The aliens will come to “save” our planet from its many problems that are soon to grow in intensity and scope. The ETs will claim to be our god—the ones that started life on earth—and are our creators. They will tell the world that they are also the ones that created the various religions to help “keep the masses in control.” They will further claim that Jesus was an alien and that is why He could do miraculous things, and they will even do miraculous things themselves to attempt to prove what they are saying.

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor 11:14

They will unite all the religions into a one world religion, unite the governments into a one world system, and create a one world economic system that will require a “mark.” No one will be able to buy or sell without their “mark.”

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13: 16,17

Does that sound like a fairy tale? It might to some of you, but that is what is going to happen and more. These events which can be put under the general category of great signs from heaven are alluded to many times in scripture.

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:11

Pastors how do you think the average person in your congregation will react to all of this? Are they going to believe the aliens? Will they lose their faith when they see spaceships on the news with supposed space visitors coming out and proclaiming that they are our god?

Unfortunately I believe that the official disclosure of aliens to the world and the ensuing communications with them will precipitate the great falling away.

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; 2 Thes 2:3

Pastors it is your job to educate your flock as to the major UFO ET deception that is coming. And it is coming, and it may be very soon.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:.. Hos 4:6

And how do we disprove this whole nonsensical notion of ETs? As I said earlier UFOs and aliens claim that they started life on earth and in essence are saying that they are our creator. No doubt we will hear this more and more as the end draws near when the greatest deception of all mankind is unleashed upon the earth. And this deception will no doubt be heralded by the greatest deceiver of all time—the antichrist. 

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2 Thes 2:9

How do we know that such claims are false and that there truly is a God who created us? On the surface their claims seem very credible because after all they can fly around in spaceships, can use telepathy, have great intelligence, and are so much greater than us poor mortals (Did you catch the sarcasm?). So naturally we should believe whatever these UFO aliens tell us, right? Ha, Ha, not hardly.

Let’s reason this out. Where did they come from? Who made them? Some may say that they evolved just like us, but they evolved to a higher degree. OK, even though evilution is a false theory, for arguments sake I would say; where did the stuff come from for anything to evolve from? 

Some may say from the Big Bang. OK again for arguments sake I would say; where did the stuff come from to cause the Big Bang? Some may say, well it was just always there. So I would say OK you admit the existence of something that was always there, thus if it was always there, then it had no beginning. Well that is exactly who God is; He is the beginning force, the one who had no beginning, the one who existed before all time and will always exist in the future—the beginning. God is the beginning.

In fact that is the first thing that God reveals to us about Himself in the Bible. In Gen 1:1 He says “In the beginning God…” The mere fact that we and the world around us exist demands that there had to be a beginning. The beginning force has revealed Himself to us as God the Father, God the Son—the Lord Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit. And the creator God loved us so much that he sent His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to die for our sins. He also left us with His Holy Word the Bible so that we can know the truth about Him and what He requires of us.

So who are the UFO ET aliens? They are none other than the fallen angels and their spawn. Their leader is the devil himself. Yes they have great knowledge, yes they can do extraordinary things, and yes they can fly around in spaceships. But they are not who they say that they are, they are nothing more than demons of the underworld trying to deceive as many people as they can to bring them into Hell. Even the smell of sulfur that they omit is a clear give away of their infernal nature. If you ever see one, just rebuke it in the name and through the blood of Jesus Christ and watch it flee!

Oh by the way, I do believe in the Big Bang; God said it and BANG it happened!

Jeremiah 10 fits in nicely with the discussion above.

1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them…

10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 

11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 

12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 

13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.


The ET deception is here and growing in intensity and will soon be mainstream. Pastors please warn your flock before it is too late. 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Jesus CANNOT Come Back Today!

 

It really bothers, and saddens me when I hear Christians say that Jesus can come back today. HE CANNOT! Certain things must occur before Jesus can come back at the rapture. Those things have not happened yet, therefore Jesus cannot come back today or any other day until those things occur.

God clearly tells us this; the Thessalonians basically had this same issue; they either thought they missed the rapture, or that it was about to occur. Here is what God through the apostle Paul told them.

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 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. 2 Thes 2

What does God say? Don’t be shaken or troubled that the Day of Christ is at hand. In other words the Day of Christ, which is the rapture event, is NOT at hand—NOT IMMINENT! God told them the rapture cannot happen yet. God then further tells them what must occur before the rapture is at hand—imminent.

3 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;

4 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, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2

What does God say must happen before the rapture takes place at the Day of Christ? The “falling away” must occur first, the man of sin—the antichrist—be revealed and the abomination of desolation occur—proclaims himself to be god in the Temple.

1.   Falling away.

2.   antichrist revealed.

3.   Abomination of desolation.

All of that must occur before the day of Christ—the rapture—is at hand or imminent! Those things have not occurred, therefore there is no imminence, and Christ cannot come back today. But what is imminent is the awakening that many Christians are going to have when they find themselves in the midst of major end times events totally unprepared—the church is asleep.

So when you hear someone say or infer that Jesus can come back today try to help them understand that He cannot. BTW; the belief in Imminence is a major pillar to the pre-tribulation rapture theory, when that pillar is removed the theory falls apart. Here is an excerpt from The Coming Epiphany concerning this.

What About Imminence?

Yet another argument put forth by pre-trib adherents is their belief in the doctrine of the imminent return of Christ. They reason that since the apostles were awaiting the return of Christ with great expectancy—and that they may even have believed that Christ could return and the rapture could occur at any time—that nothing has to occur prophetically before the rapture can take place. This includes the peace treaty or any parts of the 70th Week of Daniel.

This is a doctrine that was shown to be false by the apostle Paul himself. In 2 Thessalonians 2:1–3, Paul had to address the Thessalonians concerning a doctrinal problem they had regarding the timing of the Second Coming:

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.

The Thessalonians falsely believed that the Day of the Lord and the rapture were ready to occur (or had already occurred) and that they missed it and were in the Day of the Lord period. Paul told them that they did not miss it. He also told them about two signs that must occur beforehand, namely the great falling away and the revealing of the antichrist.^[1] We have also elaborated on three other signs that need to occur before the Day of the Lord or the Day of Christ: the moon being turned to blood, the sun being darkened, and the prophet Elijah returning to earth. Therefore, since God has made it clear that certain things must occur before the rapture occurs at the Day of the Lord, and since those things have not happened yet, there can be no doctrine of imminence. Christ’s return will not be imminent until the signs mentioned above have first occurred.

Van Kampen elaborates on this point:

The return of Christ has never been truly imminent and will never be imminent until the great tribulation of antichrist begins and the surrounding Gentile nations come together against Jerusalem in the valley of Jehoshaphat. Only then are the elect of God told to look for the sign of Christ’s coming which will be seen in the heavens, but only after the earth is first plunged into darkness by the sign of the end of the age.^[2]

So while the first-century church, as recorded in the New Testament writings, showed a great expectation and anticipation of the return of Christ, the scriptures themselves tell us that the rapture cannot occur at any time, but only after the signs are fulfilled.

End of excerpt

I hope you realize that Jesus CANNOT come back today; after we see the falling away, the abomination of desolation, and the antichrist take over the world, then we can say the rapture is imminent. And when you see Seal 6 opened—the sun darkened, the moon turned to blood, and the stars fall—then go outside and look up, because Jesus will appear in the sky and bring you home.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Not sure that you will go to heaven? The end times are knocking on the door and so is Jesus. He wants to save you, will you let him in? Find out what you must do to be saved, click here.

[1] Some, in their attempts to bolster the pre-trib position, have claimed that the phrase “falling away” comes from the Greek word rapturem and is better translated “rapture.” Thus, they argue that the verse says that the rapture must precede the coming of the antichrist. In my opinion, this is nothing more than an attempt to make the Word of God say something that it does not. The word used in the Greek New Testament is apostasia, or “falling away,” from which the English term “apostasy” is derived. “Falling away” means to backslide. Backslide from what? From the truth.[1] Thus, the phrase “falling away” means just that—a falling away from the truth; and the verse tells us that this must take place before the rapture and the Day of the Lord.
