The Coming Apostasy
Jay N. Forrest
“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition” (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
From this passage we learn that there are two events that must precede the second coming of Christ. The first is the falling away or apostasy. The second is the revelation of the man of sin, this is Antichrist. What is this apostasy that is predicted to take place before the return of Christ? Apostasy is a falling away, a defection, revolt or rebellion. The Amplified Bible accurately defines it in this verse, it is “the [predicted] great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians.”
