The "REVEALING" Of The ANTICHRIST - What Does It MEAN ??!! (2nd Thessalonians 2.3)

Actually, the term "Antichrist" is not in this passage.
 The 2 titles given in this passage are "the Man of Sin," and "the Son of Destruction."
I will focus on Son of Destruction in this poem.
"Son of" is an Aramaic idiom meaning "having the nature of."
So the Son of Destruction = a man who has a destructive nature - someone who is particularly destructive.
To paraphrase, the Son of Destruction = THE DESTROYER.
Seen in this light, the Antichrist is especially ominous !!
Now,just what kind of event would REVEAL the man who is THE Destroyer, the Most Destructive Man of All Time ??
Logically, it should be an action he takes - an act of enormous, unparalleled DESTRUCTION !!
 To be blunt, he has to destroy something huge.
How else can he deserve to be labeled as THE DESTROYER, ok??
Now, we read that the RAPTURE occurs at the time of the "REVEALING of [THE DESTROYER]"(2 Thessalonians 2.3).
Another passage says the RAPTURE coincides with some kind of "SUDDEN DESTRUCTION"(1 Thessalonians 4.17-5.3) !!
So if we put these 2 passages together, we have the SUDDEN DESTRUCTION as the thing which REVEALS this man to be THE DESTROYER !!
 But just what is this "SUDDEN DESTRUCTION" anyway??!!
Well this same culprit has another title.
He is called "the Beast" in Revelation 13.
Here we discover just what the SUDDEN DESTRUCTION is that does the REVEALING !!
 We read "the Beast will MAKE WAR against the saints and conquer them, thereby gaining power over every..nation"(Rev.13.7)!!
Meaning he gains power over the whole world !!
 This MAKING WAR = the act of great SUDDEN DESTRUCTION by which THE DESTROYER gets REVEALED !!
 Its that simple.
This massive military attack will be against the CHRISTIANS ("the saints"), meaning the nations predominantly CHRISTIAN.
Logically it should be directed to the leading "Christian" nation - the USA !!
 For only by knocking off the USA can this aggressor nation "gain power over every..nation" - the whole world.
 Only ONE nation could possibly take on the USA - it would have to be RUSSIA !!
 Something that makes RUSSIAN ATTACK realistic is this:
the USA has steadily DISARMED in response to RUSSIA ending the Cold War, and withdrawing its troops from Eastern Europe.
Our DISARMING means Russia can hit us and then shoot down our retaliatory strike
- because it will be so limited.
(more later).
