This is a false statement.
As Paul pointed out to the Thessalonians, there are events that must happen first, and they have not yet happened.
There has to be a massive falling away, producing total apostasy, Satan must be cast out, and then the “Man of Sin” must be revealed.
He cannot be revealed yet, since that happens 42 months after Daniel’s 70th Sabbath begins. Look for that to happen in the spring of 2021.
This fall should produce the nuclear war that clears the land for the “lost sheep.”

Firstly, I am no Preterist. Since we have that issue around here, I know its a quick guess. Secondly, yes there are things that have yet to occur before the Day of the Lord. However, you have missed the point I was making... and maybe I was not clear to everyone. There is much debate about when the Rapture occurs (or if there is a ‘secret rapture’).
Matthew 24:44 “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Matthew 24:46 “Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.”
So what exactly is our mission here? That, is my message to everyone here. We should be witnessing to others and spreading the gospel (Great Commission, Matt. 28). If the September rapture was correct, then how much more so important is our task?
