'(CEV) 2 Thessalonians 2:3 But don't be fooled! People will rebel against God. Then before the Lord returns, the wicked one who is doomed to be destroyed will appear.'

Scripture # 3 (Involves Commerce and 'The Mark Of The Beast'):

'(NASB) Revelation 13:17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.'(KJV) Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.'

Chapter Two, we left with the conclusion that people - who wish to survive the 1st half of Tribulation (3 and a half years) to be “Raptured” – have a need to earn “Lots-of-money” wherewith we can remove ourselves to a safe haven and not be subject to “The Beast’s” monetary system and take “The Mark. I am suggesting that smart Christians - and others who will be targeted - make lots of money fast!”.

Chapter Three dealt with reasons WHY the “Rapture” could not occur “Pre-tribulation”.

If the church were removed prior to the 1st half of Tribulation, then why the scripture (KJV) Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

If the church was already 'Ruptured' or removed - prior to the beginning of the ‘Great Tribulation’ - then there wouldn't be any ‘Saints’ here for ‘The Beast’ to ‘Overcome’ or ‘Make war with’.

We confirmed that God always make a way to deliver His elect chosen ones who will listen to Him and DO what He says.

Again - ‘(KJV) Revelation 13: 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.’
