THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY -- CHAPTER 4

COMING IN GREAT POWER AND GLORY

notes:

-  Greek = harpadzo --> Latin = rapturo  -->  in English = rapture  -->  caught up, gathering together (used in KJV)

-  the last trumpet is the literal fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets (1 Corinthians 15:51)

-  new birth (born again) at the last trump (flesh and blood cannot go, we are born into our new bodies)

-  what must we know or do to be prepared for Christ's return????  He expects us to be living our commitment to him, to continue to be faithful.

-  1 Thessalonians 5:1 - "times and seasons" -->  God's time vs the pagan sun god calendar --> "seasons" derived from the Hebrew word moedim which refer to the Feasts of the Lord (which a prophetic shadow of pictures of good things to come - according to Paul) -->  inherited so called holi - days (Easter, Christmas), these are not God's idea

-  1 Thessalonians 1:10 - delivered us from the wrath to come
