when does the Bible say.....

2 Thessalonians verse2: "Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,
2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
Verse 9; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and false signs and wonders,
and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved.
For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false.

So, the people of Thessalonica thought that Jesus had already come, and that they missed out and were left behind...
Then, if they thought that......

how can any one think today, that the church will have to go through all that mess, the tribulation brings, that will eventually happen?
Things today are ready for it as all the technology is in place,
( it was not in their day, yet they thought they’d missed it)
It states clearly here that the “taking away” is imminent. Again, as they thought they’d missed it.
And another thing....

In Mathew 23; verses 8-9 we read; But as for you, do not be called Rabbi; for only One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters. 9 And do not call anyone on earth your father; for only One is your Father, He who is in heaven. ( father like the pope)....
