Son of a ....

[Hitch]

2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

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;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Hmmmm If you're one who believes the rapture could come any moment and the the 'Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ' is the rapture then you should have some explanation for who is mentioned in 3 and when it took place. Right ?

Hitch, 1000 "scholars".... each have their own idea about that "falling away", and what that means.
Some teach this as the "rapture", and they would not be correct..

The "falling away" refers to something else..
