2 Thessalonians 2:3 says: "Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first. . ." (ESV) I generally like the ESV, but I believe they got this one totally wrong. The NASB says correctly "apostasy"; the KJV and NKJV also "falling away."
The Greek, apostasia, doesn't mean rebellion; it means "stand away from," "leave or depart," or "leaving from a previous standing." It's not talking about an outright rebellion; it's talking about those who, either intentionally, or through laxity, have drifted away into false doctrine. They've left behind what once was considered sound Biblical authority and now embrace all kinds of things that have no scriptural authority whatsoever. In other words, the apostasy's here folks, it's come.
Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Church can never fall away for the gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church.
There may be hypocrites and no matter how many hypocrites there are the Church can never fall away.
No matter how bad it gets with hypocrisy and false doctrine the Church will never fall away but there will only be more hypocrites and false teachings mainly to suit the lusts of the people.
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 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.
The falling away is the condition of the world in response to the Gospel that they make it a world wide law that no person can preach the Gospel or it is a hate crime resulting in punishment or telling them they cannot preach the Gospel going by the new age movement as standard religion in the world and nothing else can be preached which causes the Muslims to rebel against the world.
This is when the nations come together as one to try to establish peace on earth and the New Age Christ is working in the world as a man of peace and pushing the agenda of the new age movement that interprets the Bible and all religions according to the occult and evolution and they are still evolving and there is no personal God.
This will cause the world to fall away from hearing the truth of the Bible which causes the man of sin to be able to rule over them which he will be of the new age movement.
Then the saints can be gathered unto Christ.
The Church can never fall away.
The falling away is the condition of the world in response to the Gospel and as long as one nation allows the preaching of the Gospel then the falling away will not happen but all nations came together and stopped the preaching of the Gospel on a world wide scale which is the falling away which allows the man of sin to rule over them.
The new age movement the beginning of the end.
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
God warns the saints of the new age movement, and their interpretation of the Bible based on the occult, and evolution, and people are still evolving to be spiritual provided by the New Age Christ, and Jesus is not Lord and Savior, but a good teacher and love, and the Christ conscience came upon him, and he evolved to be an ascended master, and believe in no personal God, but honor the God of forces, or the power of nature as their higher power, the evolutionary process, and the New Age Christ is the final teacher, and he will evolve to be greater than Jesus, and share this power with all people who follow him.
They will forbid to marry for a man and a woman for population reduction, and command to abstain from meats, reverence of nature, mother earth.
The new age movement will pave the way to the beast kingdom for all people who do not love God where they will take the mark of the beast, and then repentance and salvation are no longer available to the world, and God will end sin on earth, and have His people will Him.
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables(2 Timothy 4:2-4).
The time will come when the world will not want to hear the truth of the Bible, but want to hear it according to their own lusts the new age movement.
The New Age Christ will establish peace in the Middle East, and work as a great man of peace, and push the agenda of the new age movement in the world to prepare the world for when he claims to be God by harnessing the power of nature, and evolving, and will share this power with all people who follow him.
Alice Bailey the biggest prophet of the new age movement wrote many books speaking of the coming united religious system, one world government, and New Age Christ, and other occult things, and they set up a web site lucistrust.org promoting her books and writing which she interpreted the Bible according to the occult and evolution.
She was married to a Freemason who agreed with her writing, so he is of the inner circle of Freemason, which there is an inner circle and outer circle of the occult, and Alice Bailey said the inner circle is the true church.
The inner circle is too extreme in the occult for mainstream society so they put out a lighter version an outer circle that is more tolerable to the people to get them interested in a light version of the occult.
When the New Age Christ establishes peace in the Middle East he will push the agenda of the new age movement and the people will lust more for power through nature and when the New Age Christ claims to be God and to set up his kingdom the outer circle became the inner circle and the beast kingdom will be accepted by those who do not keep the commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The new age movement has an inner circle as well as Freemason, and the Mormon church, and Scientology, and Christian Science, and churches who have great deception such as them as well as many occult groups.
They are trying to get the world to go in the direction of the New Age Christ kingdom so that Lucifer can set up a kingdom which they believe Lucifer will help people to evolve spiritually.
The esoteric meaning of Lucifer, how they interpret the Bible.
There are comments on the World Wide Web claiming that the Lucis Trust was once called the Lucifer Trust. Such was never the case. However, for a brief period of two or three years in the early 1920’s, when Alice and Foster Bailey were beginning to publish the books published under her name, they named their fledgling publishing company “Lucifer Publishing Company”. By 1925 the name was changed to Lucis Publishing Company and has remained so ever since.Both “Lucifer” and “Lucis” come from the same word root, lucis being the Latin generative case meaning of light. The Baileys' reasons for choosing the original name are not known to us, but we can only surmise that they, like the great teacher H.P. Blavatsky, for whom they had enormous respect, sought to elicit a deeper understanding of the sacrifice made by Lucifer. Alice and Foster Bailey were serious students and teachers of Theosophy, a spiritual tradition which views Lucifer as one of the solar Angels, those advanced Beings Who Theosophy says descended (thus “the fall”) from Venus to our planet eons ago to bring the principle of mind to what was then animal-man. In the theosophical perspective, the descent of these solar Angels was not a fall into sin or disgrace but rather an act of great sacrifice, as is suggested in the name “Lucifer” which means light-bearer.
