2 Thessalonians 2:6-10
6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

2 Thessalonians 3:3
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.

Ephesians 1:13-14
13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

These verses demonstrate that salvation is at the moment of belief, and it is SEALED with the Holy Spirit.

You cannot find a scripture that talks about being “unsealed” and the Holy Spirit abandoning anyone.

We are not saved by works, and our salvation is not kept by works.

We are saved by grace through faith, and we are kept by Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Jude 1:24-25
24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy,
25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

So since we have Grace, do we still serve God and do what is right in his eyes? Yes of course! Because the Holy Spirit in us will convict us and we serve God in thankfulness because we love Him that first loved us.

2 Peter 1:19
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

I've had a few people asking how it might be that 2017 to 2024 could have been a 7 year warning if the fall of 2025 is actually 8 years after the Sep 23rd 2017 sign...

So here's some clarification on my "thinking out loud".

- Fall 2017 to Fall 2024 = 7 year warning period

- Then since Tribulation has to commence in Fall feasts... it would be a 2025 Fall Trib.

- So this gives a small necessary gap for the pre-trib rapture between fall of 2024 and fall of 2025.

- Remember one is 7 years old all the way until their 8th birthday.

Think about the 7 good years and 7 bad years of Joseph... people did not start immediately starving day one after the 7 good years were up, it took some time.

Also, "IF" the rapture and the tribulation begin in this year then they both would be contained within the year of 2025.
Is not 2025 the next year after 2024?
So then it could correctly be said that 2017-2024 was a 7 warning before the year of 2025.
Thus a 7 year warning and a 2025 Trib commencement.

That’s the theory anyways!
We’ll have to wait and see how it goes!

I don't claim to know this is how things will play out. I just like thinking out loud and being encouraged by these things! 😄

The rapture is not a performance based reward...
EVERYONE who is SAVED & SEALED will be raptured.

Even if a Christian is falling into sin at the moment that the rapture occurs, they will still be caught up to God... because you do not loose your salvation every time you sin.

The ticket to be raptured is not "works based"… it is "salvation based". And we are not saved by works, but rather by grace through faith.

Ephesians 1:13-14
13 In Him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Fear not. Hold Fast. Eyes on Jesus. The world is being prepared for the coming strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians 2:11

Do we keep God’s commandments because we love him? Yes!

But commandment keeping DOES NOT save anyone.

⬇️
We are ONLY saved by grace through faith.
It is shocking how many do not understand salvation even in the body of Christ!!
⬇️
Romans 4:5
And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,
⬇️
Romans 3:20-23
20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—
22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
⬇️
Romans 3:24-28
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
⬇️
John 6:28-29
28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?”
29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
⬇️
John 3:18
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

🏰EVERYONE who is saved will inherit the kingdom... it is a promise sealed by the Spirit and guaranteed at salvation.

Ephesians 1:11-14 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

Colossians 1:12-14 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

James 2:5 Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?

🏆Rewards are a separate thing entirely. Scripture says rewards come by good works... VERY different than inheritance which is a promise included with salvation. Read this following verse which gives a clear example of rewards.

Matthew 6:1-4 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. 2 “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Also, it is important to include that rewards cannot be lost... God is not one to take back what He gives.
You CAN absolutely loose out on opportunities for rewards! You can waste your time and miss out on rewards... but God does NOT take back rewards because rewards cannot be lost.

Matthew 10:42 And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

We must not mix up these two things which are very different, one from another. God bless! 🙏🏻
