What does 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 verses 1-7 say about Rapture?

A:
Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that according to one critic, the Rapture has its origins with a young girl's vision in 1830. In Port Glasgow, Scotland, fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service, where she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Although few people belong the the Plymouth Brethren Church, many Christians believe in its founder's most enduring theological creation, the Rapture.
The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth. None of this is found in Second Thessalonians 2:1-7, which is about the traditional Christian notion of a second coming of Jesus, but not about the Rapture that Darby and his successors defined.
Answer
I think this passage of scripture - 2Thess 2:1-7 - is not talking about the rapture but the second coming of Christ, when he returns as judge and king.

2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 1-7 do not mention the concept of the Rapture explicitly. Instead, they focus on the second coming of Jesus and the events that will precede it, such as the rise of the man of lawlessness. The passage emphasizes the importance of standing firm in the faith amidst deception and false teachings.

Why are passages from the bible broken into chapter and verse?
The division of the books of the Bible into chapters, and the numbering of the lines into 'verses' was done to make it easy to refer to them, and to standardise the references... it would never have been possible to say "Page 53" - as each handwritten bible had different text on page 53. Much easier to say "Chapter 3, verse 14 of the Book of ...."
