In Part 1 of End of the World: WW4 and Rapture Controversy, we confront the growing tension in the world and what Scripture actually says about the timing of the end. This message breaks down the biblical foundation of the rapture, the removal of the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2, and why the Antichrist cannot be revealed until that moment. We also examine a powerful pattern in Revelation—the church (ekklesia) is mentioned repeatedly in chapters 1–3, then disappears during the tribulation narrative—raising the question: is the church removed before global judgment begins? This teaching challenges popular opinions and brings clarity through prophecy, scripture, and early church understanding.
