The believers in Thessalonica were under so much persecution they thought they were in end-times.  In Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians, he encourages them to pursue their relationship with Christ even in the midst of great suffering and clarifies the rapture. Bill is joined by Bible teacher Jeff Verdoorn (https://myfaithradio.com/authors/jeff-verdoorn/)  who shares from 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Thessalonians+2%3A1-10&version=NIV) . They discuss how a departure will take place for the church, explain the abomination of desolation, and share how there are no signs for the rapture.
