Is the “Falling Away” (II Thes. 2:3) a <em>Future</em> Worldwide Rebellion Led by the Man of Sin?
By David C. Pack
Roderick Meredith and the Living Church of God (LCG) now teach that the “falling away” of II Thessalonians 2:3 was not fulfilled in the Worldwide Church of God in the late 1980s and early 90s. Rather this event is a future “rebellion/revolt/apostasy” against God led by the man of sin (same verse) and involving the whole world. Is this correct? What did Mr. Armstrong teach? What do the Protestants teach? Did Rod Meredith always believe this? What does the Bible reveal? This article is a MUST READ!
