I'm not arguing over departure vs rapture.
I am not sure of the purpose of that argument
I never expressed any thoughts about the Man of Sin.
I don't see the connection between the Man of Sin and a 7 year 'Tribulation'.
All I am specifically clued into is that the Man of Sin is revealed before the Rapture.
I imagine that if the Jews had crowned a King Of Israel while under Roman Occupation,
they would have been invaded quelled and crushed in double quick time.
So i assume that the restraining force here is the Roman Empire.

You saying the gt has come and gone since the ac requires worship and a mark in the hand or forehead?
