Is it me or do the two URLs JD give contradict each other? One says the Apostasy in 2 Thes 2:3 means departure the other says it doesn't.
I personally believe it is departure aka rapture because the I think The Day of the Lord that Paul is talking about is referring to the tribulation. And Paul is telling the Thessalonians to not be afraid because that day won't come until after we're out of here.
I was wondering about the same thing. The one in the Blue Letter Bible was very confusing to me.
The one by Professor Ice was great. I am confused as well.
