2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (apostasia) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
The word "falling away" is apostasia from where we get the words Apostate and Apostasy. Obviously it means a moral and spiritual religious "departure" not a physical departure.

A PERFECT comprehension "does not add to or take away from God's words." Proverbs 30: 5-6
A PERFECT comprehension believes the word of the LORD: 1 Thessalonians 4: 15-18
By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
A PERFECT comprehension has the Groom (Jesus) with His Bride(the Disciples) telling them(His Bride) when His Second Coming will take place in Matthew chapter 24.
A PERFECT comprehension is God telling His Martyred Saints they must wait for all the other Saints who will be killed as they were BEFORE the Resurrection takes place = Revelation 6:9-11 and Revelation 20:4-6
A PERFECT comprehension are the Three Witnesses (the Lord Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul and Apostle John) all said that the "falling away/many will fall away/they went out from us" will occur before His Coming - 2 Thess 2, Matt 24:10, 1 John 2:19
A PERFECT comprehension again, are the Three Witnesses(the Lord, Paul, John) who all said that the 'man of sin/Antichrist' occurs before His Coming - 2 Thess 2, Matt 24:15, 1 John 2:18
A PERFECT comprehension has the Saints preaching the Gospel after the first, second, third, fourth and fifth Seals are opened.
Revelation 12: 11 , 17
v11 - They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.
And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.
v17 - And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
7 is Perfection and Rest from the confusion of pre-trib error

For those who can grasp the overarching saga of God's will and the epic concepts of Scripture in all of their fullness, this verse is absolutely pregnant with meaning...
Rom 11:25
I do not desire brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the gentiles be come in.

The term apostasia Strong's 646 essentially means "departure". That's it nothing more.
This bogus business about it meaning "spiritual rebellion" is due to a feverish delirious florid imagination......

I noticed many posts of his seemed to be cut and paste.
I pointed out 'that day' in II Thessalonians 1, with the intention of pointing out that the day of Christ isn't going to happen until the man of sin is revealed. Also, Thessalonians 1 says that when Christ returns He will give the church rest and execute vengence on them that know not God. This indicates the church will be hear when Jesus gets back. He likes to post or paste something about 'day' being able to last a long time, which doesn't really touch t

Great - AWESOME - Let's look at what the Apostle Paul has to say in Romans chapter 11.
You missed a very IMPORTANT verse that "grasps the saga of God's will and the epic concepts of Scripture in all their fullness...'
Romans 11:15
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
Wow Wow Wow - can you see this verse is absolutely pregnant with Resurrection.....
