Welcome to the program today. My name is Mando Gonzalez, and I am here with Lee Brainerd, who has written a tremendous book on 2, Thessalonians, Chapter 2, verse 3.

So this is a great time as you're watching this. Get your Bible out, because you can join us as we have this discussion, which I think will be a very fun discussion.

The title of Lee's book is

Apostasia in 2, Thessalonians chapter 2, verse 3. And we'll get to some of the background of

what that looks like and what it even means, why is it even relevant, why should you even watch

or care? But welcome, Lee. Thank you, Mondo, for having me again, and I thank you the whole

Prophecy Watcher family.

This is tremendous blessing and a tremendous opportunity to investigate the things of God with reference to prophecy.

So kind of for the audience, some of the audience that might not know your background, kind of tell them a little bit about yourself, where they can find your information.

Sure. I've been a prophecy student for four decades. I've

put a lot of effort into the Greek and the Hebrew. You can find my material at soothkeep. Info, that's

S-O-O-T-H-K-E-P, that's Old English for Truth Fortress. And if you're interested also, I have a YouTube channel by Soothke.

So before we get in, you know, this discussion, which we are having, we have lots of

discussions in the prophecy world.

And the first thing I want to say up front is that all of us, we want to be here as

Christian brothers. We want to have

the Holy Spirit in us in the sense of being gentle and we want to be able to agree to disagree

on topics that are not essential to salvation in a very loving and kind way. Jesus said,

right, John 1335, people will know that we're his disciples

by our love for one another.

So the conversation is one of peace and harmony,

and so there are those within the prophecy camp
