The Great Tribulation - Part 2
CHRIST WILL NOT RETURN UNTIL THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS HAS BEEN REVEALED
2Thes 2:1-6
WHEN HE COMES HE WILL OVERTHROW THE LAWLESS ONE WITH THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH AND THE SPLENDOR OF HIS COMING
2Thes 2:7-10
2Thessalonians 2:8 tells us that the Lord will overthrow and destroy the man of lawlessness by the breath of his mouth and the splendor of his coming. This can leave us with no doubt that Christ's return is at the end of the great tribulation which is the beginning of his millennial reign. People who teach post millennialism are thus in error. We, the believers, are not in heaven and the devil is not locked up in the abyss where he can no longer cause trouble. Thus the millennium cannot have started. The Bible therefore foretells of the premillennial return of Jesus Christ. The return of Christ and the Millennium are, no doubt, in the future (at the time of writing of this document!).

The woman is also a picture of the Church and we are her children. The woman and her offspring will be pursued by the dragon for 1260 days (three and a half years).
