👋 Welcome to our first End-Time-Disciples.com video discussion!

In this roundtable conversation, four Christian disciples with diverse perspectives sat down to explore one of the most misunderstood—and most urgent—passages in the New Testament: 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12.

We talked plainly about:

* The coming of the Lord and our meeting together with Him

* The “apostasy” of believers and the rise of the “man of sin”

* Who (or what) is “the restrainer”

* Why deception and delusion are increasing—and who’s being deceived

* How transhumanism and false spiritual movements may be part of Satan’s last stand

* What it means to truly call on God’s name

But at the heart of it all is this message of encouragement:

Don’t be alarmed. Don’t be deceived. These things must happen first.Yes, the Day of the Lord is coming—but God has already told us the signs to watch for, and how it will unfold.
