It doesn't matter anyway, because we Christians are long gone in verse 3. Before the man of sin is revealed.......
Which goes against what Paul said:
Pre-trib has the church rapturing away
before the man of sin is revealed but Paul said the rapture would not happen until the man of sin was revealed.
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and by our gathering together unto him,
(the rapture)
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come,
(the day of the rapture) except there come a falling away first,
and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Pre-trib: church raptured
BEFORE the man of sin is revealed.
the bible: church raptured
AFTER the man of sin is revealed.
This proves rapture cannot happen before man of sin is revealed which proves the Great Tribulation will have started before the rapture occurs.
