Boiling down the Great Apostasy

I used to think the Great Apostasy (2Th 2.3) would be an explicitly heterodox, violent, and Christ-rejecting explosion of unbelief on the part of professing believers who up and walk out of the Church. But I can now see that it will be (and in fact already is) a principled, Bible-based, morally-defended, Christ-confessing, church-attending, hymn-singing, hands-raised abandonment of the Cross on the part of those walking in. The Great Apostasy won’t empty church buildings as much as it will redefine what it means to remain in them.
