The one taken out of the way can't be the Church
because the Church is still on the earth after the
Antichrist is revealed:
Rev 13:7, 10
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints,
and to overcome them... Here is the patience and the
faith of the saints.
Rev 14:12-13
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit...
Rev 20:4
I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had
not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had
received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands...
