Summary: This sermon explores the concept of the pre-prophecy rapture of the church and the body of Christ's role as a restraining force against the full manifestation of evil in the world. The pastor delves into the mystery of the church age, its place within prophetic timelines, and how it relates to God's plans for Israel and the Gentiles. He emphasizes the importance of rightly dividing Scripture to understand end-times events and the distinct nature of the church's rapture as separate from prophesied events for Israel.

Chapters
Chapter 1: Review of the Dispensation of Grace
0:00 - 15:00
A review of the dispensation of grace and its place in biblical prophecy.
Chapter 2: The Day of Christ and the Thessalonians' Concern
15:00 - 30:00
An explanation of the Day of Christ and addressing the Thessalonians' concerns about it.
Chapter 3: The Restrainer and the Mystery of Iniquity
30:00 - 45:00
Discussion of the withholder and the mystery of iniquity in end-time events.
Chapter 4: The Sequence of End-Time Events
45:00 - 60:00
A breakdown of the sequence of events leading to and following the rapture.

Key Points:
The dispensation of grace is a mystery period not revealed in Old Testament prophecy.
The rapture of the church is a mystery event that precedes prophetic fulfillment.
The body of Christ acts as a restrainer, holding back the full onset of evil.
The removal of the church (rapture) will allow for the revelation of the Antichrist.
The day of Christ for the church is distinct from the day of the Lord for Israel.
Gentiles' standing by faith during the church age can be lost, leading to their being "cut off".
The rapture is pre-tribulational and occurs before the 70th week of Daniel.
