Pete: "Other translations say "the great Apostacy comes first", so, my question is, in the 20 odd years between 52 ad and 74 ad, did a falling away occur?, was the man of sin revealed, the son of perdition, showing himself that he is God? Sounds like a pretty important event there, too important to have been lost to history" Allen: "The falling away"is a very importaint event!,However, i want you to think and use scripture. Before I answer this completly, Just what exactly do you think is going to fall away?......The church?! The bride of Christ?!, The Heavenly City?! The new Jeruselem?! the land of God?! Where in God destroyed the sinners thereof out of?! what according to scripture is going "to be revealed"; "destroyed"; and "fall away"..who was in the land and temple of God ..........ummmmm..hint: it is "the mystery of Iniquity" .....I wonder what that is.......what say you? 2 Thessalonians 2:1. 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. 5. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6. And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Hebrews 12:22. But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23. To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24. And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26. Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29. For our God is a consuming fire. --- On Fri, 8/22/08, allendaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <allendaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: allendaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <allendaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Psalm 19/ Christ 2nd Return To: geocentrism@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Friday, August 22, 2008, 6:48 AM Peter, I'm not saying nor did i ever imply that Christ was already there?!..Revealtion was written march 1 AD 69 + 45 Days...I have already covered this...This fact can be prven from the text itself The Apostles knew that Christ would come soon Because they belived Christ when he said that generation and some of you would not taste death utill then....

Rev 2 10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. Look! The Devil will keep on throwing some of YOU into prison that YOU may be fully put to the test, Looks to me like the Devil is still active here. 12 “And to the angel of the congregation in Per´ga·mum write: These are the things that he says who has the sharp, long two-edged sword, 13 ‘I know where you are dwelling, that is, where the throne of Satan is; and yet you keep on holding fast my name, and you did not deny your faith in me even in the days of An´ti·pas, my witness, the faithful one, who was killed by YOUR side, where Satan is dwelling. Looks to me like it says Satan is dwelling in Per'ga-mum rather than the 1000 abbyss wrapped in chains. 24 “‘However, I say to the rest of YOU who are in Thy·a·ti´ra, all those who do not have this teaching, the very ones who did not get to know the “deep things of Satan,” as they say: I am not putting upon YOU any other burden. 25 Just the same, hold fast what YOU have until I come. 26 And to him that conquers and observes my deeds down to the end I will give authority over the nations, Now here, Jesus is saying, "untill I come", but you are saying that Jesus was allready there? Another point, a reply to the Thessalonicans who had been hearing rumours that the 2nd presence had allready began, written about 52 ad, Paul said " 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2:2 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. 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; 2:4 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, showing himself that he is God." Other translations say "the great Apostacy comes first", so, my question is, in the 20 odd years between 52 ad and 74 ad, did a falling away occur?, was the man of sin revealed, the son of perdition, showing himself that he is God? Sounds like a pretty important event there, too important to have been lost to history.

After the thousand years Satan was to be released…and guess what.. we can see it.... it was called:
