2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 - Marianne Manley

Apostle Paul explains the “day of the Lord” to show that we are not in it.
The Thessalonians were "shaken in mind" and "troubled because of a forged letter supposedly from Paul that said their persecution meant they were in the Tribulation.
The word of God was already being corrupted.
Don’t be fooled “by any means” into thinking the Tribulation is happening now.
“by spirit” = the Spirit in a man, that is not a Pauline right divider
“by word” = what they heard them say
“nor by letter as from us” = a forged letter seeming to be from Paul that said they were in the Tribulation.
In this context, the “day of Christ” = “the day of the Lord.”
Paul explains that the dispensation of grace it the “what” that is hindering the revealing of the Antichrist. He will not be revealed until “he” (t THE ONE NEW MAN in Eph. 2:15, the body of Christ) hinders the revealing of Antichrist until “he be taken out of the way” (Raptured”).
It is not the Holy Ghost that is restraining the prophetic program, but the Rapture of the body of Christ, which ends the dispensation of Grace, that Holy Ghost remains on earth.
The “that day” = the 7 years of the Tribulation and Christ’s 2nd Coming, will not come until after “our gathering together unto him” (Rapture).
Then will the “Wicked” be revealed, who the Lord will consume and destroy at His Second Coming.
The identity of Antichrist (AC) will not be revealed until after our Rapture, so it is useless to speculate about who he is (but we give some clues from the Bible at the end of the video).
Who Antichrist is will be revealed when he signs a 7-year agreement with lost Israel.
“man of sin” = Antichrist means against Christ. Satan inspired.
“son of perdition” Antichrist indwelt (incarnate) by Satan with lying powers.
Satan will deceive the masses that will perish because they did not believe the truth of the Son’s sacrifice for their sins, and resurrection, and be saved.
“Falling away” means to depart from worshipping the Creator.
Our dispensation will end in apostasy, leave Paul for seducing pastors.
But Israel will fall away from God to Antichrist.
What is Satan’s policy of evil in the dispensation of grace?
Satan is using Christ’s earthly ministry to oppose Christ’s heavenly ministry.
He wants to render the Church, the body of Christ, useless to God.
