That is why Paul wrote II Thessalonians because he feared he left confusion in his first letter. He is warning us that we are going nowhere until we have the opportunity to worship the false Christ, the Son of Perdition. The Rapture THEROY is a setup to believe the lying wonders of the slickest liar in the universe. So slick in fact that the Lord had to shorten the days of tribulation because EVEN the elect would be deceived if he didn't. The Lord didn't say to PUT THE FULL ARMOUR OF GOD ON for nothing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
II Thessalonians 2:1 "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,"
II Thessalonians 2:2 "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."
II Thessalonians 2:3 "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;"
II Thessalonians 2:4 "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."
II Thessalonians 2:5 "Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?"
II Thessalonians 2:7 "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."
II Thessalonians 2:8 "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:"
II Thessalonians 2:9 "Even him, whose coming is after the working of Sa'-tan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"
II Thessalonians 2:10 "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth,"
II Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie;"
II Thessalonians 2:12 "That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
True. Around here, they appear to have been hunted to extinction.
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ[a] had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin[b] is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God[c] in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
The word "antichrist" not used here.
The rest of your post is inane, speculative fluff.
IMO.
"Get right with the Lord" ... BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. It's the ONLY thing to do.
The rest of that stuff ... < shrug > ...I guess we'll see ...
You got something there.
Who do you think the Son of Perdition is?
Ah... you’re looking for the exact modern word we’re using.
Well, good luck with that viewpoint, Elsie.
Well...
...the MORMONs say:

Shoebat’s claim to have bombed Bank Leumi in Bethlehem is rejected by members of his family who still live in the area, and Bank Leumi says it has no record of such an attack ever taking place. His relatives, members of the Shoebat family, are mystified by the notion of “Walid Shoebat” being an assumed name. And the Walid Shoebat Foundation’s working process is less than transparent, with Shoebat’s claim that it is registered as a charity in the state of Pennsylvania being denied by the Pennsylvania State Attorney’s Office. Shoebat’s claim to have been a terrorist rests on his account of the purported bombing of Bank Leumi. But after checking its files, the bank said it had no record of an attack on its Bethlehem branch anywhere in the relevant 1977-79 period. Shoebat told The Jerusalem Post that this could be because the bank building was robustly protected with steel and that the attack may have caused little damage. Asked whether word of the bombing made the news at the time, he said, “I don’t know. I didn’t read the papers because I was in hiding for the next three days.” (In 2004, he had told Britain’s Sunday Telegraph: “I was terribly relieved when I heard on the news later that evening that no one had been hurt or killed by my bomb.”) Shoebat could not immediately recall the year, or even the time of year, of the purported bombing when talking to the Post by phone from the US. After wavering, he finally settled for the summer of 1977.
