2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (NIV2011)
1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

“Apostasia” (Apostasy)
A revolt against a position once held. A departure from doctrinal and moral truth.

The Regathering of the Jewish People
Widespread Hostility Toward the Jewish People

Surging Apostasy

The Stool of Surging Apostasy Rests on 3 Legs:





FIRST:
1 Timothy 4:1-2 (NIV2011)
1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

Pervasive Spiritual Deception

Example: WHO makes a claim
Example: HOW a claim is made

Truthfulness is measured by God’s Word
“…your word is truth.” (John 17:17)

SECOND:
2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NIV2011)
3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

Extensive Biblical Illiteracy

Example: Counterfeit money

Example: 2022 Cultural Research Center at Arizona State University

Application: FRC’s Bible Education Expansion

THIRD:
2 Peter 2:1-2 (NIV2011)
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.

Another translation:
2 Peter 2:2 (KJV)
…the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

Capacity for Moral Revolution

Moral Revolution (Theo Hobson)

1. Something that was nearly universally condemned is now nearly universally celebrated.

Lord’s Supper:
Luke 22:14-20 (NIV2011)
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.
15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you.
18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
