2 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; The falling away is the rapture. The Greek word translated falling away means departing, or going out, similar to our word exit; it refers to the rapture. Some interpret falling away to mean apostasy (a departing from the faith), but the word faith is not in the text. To say that the church will be apostate before Christs Second Coming negates the lukewarm condition of the Laodicean church. All who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior will be raptured. The rapture will occur before the 7 year tribulation. The time of Jacobs trouble is for Israel. The purpose of the tribulation is the Salvation of the Jewish nation.
