| 0:00.0 | Before we get to today's prophecy update, I need to correct an error and write a wrong on my part. |
| 0:11.0 | And it's concerning the word translated falling away or departure in some translations. |
| 0:19.4 | And it's in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3. |
| 0:23.6 | I have taught over the years and realized that my interpretation and understanding of this verse was wrong. |
| 0:35.6 | I have now, thanks to some brothers and a sister in Christ actually, who I |
| 0:43.8 | respect so very much that brought this to my attention. I have now come to the conclusion |
| 0:51.0 | that were this a physical departure in the rapture, then Paul would |
| 0:57.0 | have used the Greek word harpazzo in 2. Thessalonians 2.3 instead of the word apostasia, |

| 1:57.4 | if it were a physical departure and not a spiritual departure from doctrine and apostasy, |
| 2:05.2 | a falling away from the faith. And by the way, I would humbly ask for forgiveness, for any confusion that this may have caused. |
| 2:19.3 | I am deeply concerned about those who have taken this Second Thessalonians 2-3 controversy, for lack of a better word, and use it against those of us who teach and believe in a pre-tribulation |
| 2:39.1 | rapture, which by the way, as of late, has come under such intense satanic attack. |
| 2:47.8 | Unbelievable. |
| 2:49.0 | I say satanic because, well, who's the author of confusion? Who's the |
| 2:56.9 | accuser of the brethren? Who's the father of lies? The devil himself. I have seen some of the most |
