Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum has recently issued a statement updating his view on 2Thes 2:3....
Ariel Ministries now accepts "departure" as an interpretation of that verse.

Interesting....
Disregarding the Fear of God and believing men over God's words, this is called 'respect of persons'.
Proverbs 28:21 -To have respect of persons is not good: for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

The higher a person lifts themselves up before God the harder the fall will be when they give an account before Him.

As the Scripture says: "But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies," 2 Peter 2:1

The operation of satan is to establish his word's over and against the word's of God.
The devil does this by deceiving men thru pride, especially religious carnal intellect = admiration from the undiscerning.

This will be their fate = Revelatin 22:18-19
I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book.

Nothing added to the word's of Christ = the LORD keeps His Word.

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

Follow His Commandment and embrace Life = "Do not add to them or take away from God's words."

The Apostasy is a departure, from the truth. It is a moral departure, not a physical departure. Apostasia never means to go somewhere. The Apostasia is when Christian will depart from the faith of Christ to the antichrist. That's why it is tied to the revealing of the man of sin.
Uh..look around.

That is happening now on a massive scale.

So if you think there is some future massive falling away by christians....it would stand to reason that a small handful of believers enter what you are supporting as "going through the gt"
Now that you have arrived at that leap you make, it says the AC kills all refusing the mark.
AHEM.....that means no believers on the planet to rapture postrib.

Postrib position is poorly thought out.

The Lord Jesus Christ 'thought out' and spoke out post-trib Return/Resurrection/Rapture.

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. "

i am sure you are comforted knowing that you are smarter then the Lord Jesus Christ.
