The Bible says the Tribulation will not come and the Antichrist will not be revealed until “a great falling away” happens first. We get this phrase from the King James Version of the Bible:
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;" 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (KJV)
Some English translations say "the rebellion," "the great rebellion," or "the apostasy." The original Greek word used is "apostasia." BibleHub translates it as this:
"Defection, apostasy, revolt. Feminine of the same as apostasion; defection from truth."
And according to Merriam-Webster's 1828 dictionary, "apostasy" is:
"an act of refusing to continue to follow, obey, or recognize a religious faith"
Do we see this today? Yes. In my opinion, this is happening all around us.
Now, by itself, this isn’t enough to indicate the nearness of the end times and the seven-year Tribulation. After all, an increase in apostasy is subjective. Some number of people have always professed to be Christians while denying the foundational principles of the faith. But on the scale we see today? I sincerely doubt it.
Below are just a few of the things we see happening in our day and time.......
