Episode 428 | The Parousia & The Gathering | Luke 21 - Catholic Bible Prophecy

Steve presents a comprehensive comparison between the epistles of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, arguing that they contain "cousin verses" that describe the same events related to the Second Coming of Christ and the Gathering of Believers. He points out the use of the word "parousia" in each of these epistles, using it to highlight the similarity of these passages.

He emphasizes that 2 Thessalonians 2 warns of the Great Apostasy and Antichrist occurring before the Second Coming, contrary to the modern Rapture Theory.

Steve also shares that 1 and 2 Thessalonians have the same author, recipients, timeframe, vocabulary, and context, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationship between these epistles and the timing of the events they describe.
