A Falling Away First
After the Sixth SEAL (Re.6:12-17), the church (1 Cor.10:32 - Jesus’ living body, Col.1:24), will no longer be tossed to and fro, and be carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, but rather the church of God will speak the truth in love (Eph.4:14, Eph.4:16 below). The church will fall away from this deception first, BEFORE that man of sin is revealed (2 Thess.2:3 below).
Note 2 Thessalonians 2:6: "in his time". The son of perdition will be revealed “in his time”. His time will occur when he ascends from the bottomless pit after the bottomless pit has been opened. The bottomless pit will be opened at the Fifth TRUMPET, the First Woe (Re.9:1-2). Until the son of perdition ascends from the pit (Re.11:7, Re.17:8, Re.17:11, Jn.17:12) it is not "his time".
That day that shall not come until there is a falling away first and that man of sin is revealed is that day that begins the tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13. It is the day that begins the abomination of desolation (Lk.21:20, Dan.11:31, Dan.12:11 below).
Prior to the day that the abomination of desolation is SET UP (Dan.12:11 below), the church will know who that man of sin is (2 Thess.2:3, Re.11:7, Re.17:8, Re.17:11 below).
Eph.4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph.4:16 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
2 Thess.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 (Re.17:8 below).
2 Thess.2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed (2Th..2:3 above) IN HIS TIME.
Re.11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, THE BEAST THAT ASCENDETH OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT (Re.17:8 below) shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Re 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and SHALL ASCEND OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT (Re.11:7 above), and go into perdition (2 Th.2:3 above, Re.17:11 below): and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition (2 Th.2:3, Re.17:8 above).
Lk.21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the DESOLATION (Dan.11:31, Dan.12:11 below) thereof is nigh.
Dan.11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the ABOMINATION THAT MAKETH DESOLATE (Dan.12:11, Lk.21:20 above).
Dan.12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate SET UP (Dan.11:31 above), there shall be A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS. (1290 days)
