I am not a big "end-of-timer". I don't know much about the symbolism in Revelation. Pretrib or posttrib? Not sure. But one thing made clear in today's reading is when Jesus does return, there will be nothing that can withstand His return. 2 Thessalonians 2:8 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
The "lawless" one who has (v4) exalted himself over everything and proclaimed himself to be God will be taken out simply by the breath of Jesus' mouth, much the way we would blow a piece of lint off a coffee table. Jesus' return will be so spectacular that by simply returning to Earth, the lawless one will be destroyed. What an awesome God we serve.
Just like Jesus' second coming will destroy the lawless one, the same power is available to each Christian in our own lives. Is there a lawless habit living in your heart? I know I have my share. Allow the breath of God to overthrow that in your own life.
Praise to our awesome God that can overthrow the lawlessness in the world and in our own lives.
