Rapture or Rebellion? | The True Meaning of Apostasia w/ Brandon Holthaus & Lee Brainard

In this thought-provoking discussion, Pastor Brandon Holthaus is joined by scholar and author Lee Brainard to tackle a controversial topic shaking the prophecy world — the true meaning of the Greek word apostasia in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. Is it a reference to the Rapture... or a rebellion against the faith?

Lee, known for his in-depth study of original languages and early church history, dives deep into the historical and biblical use of apostasia, debunking modern reinterpretations that link it to the Rapture. Together, they explore the context of the passage, explain how this debate affects sound doctrine, and equip believers to contend for the faith with clarity and conviction.

This conversation is a must-watch for anyone serious about biblical prophecy, the pre-tribulation rapture, and rightly dividing the Word of truth.
