These these scriptures have reference to latter day churches where the man of sin will take over the professing worship places throughout this world, and when we see this taken place, then God's people are to flee, and most have and are doing so now!
No need for God people to flee...they're already gone. Taken up in the rapture.

2 Thes 2:3 Let no man deceiue you by any meanes: for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that that man of sinne be disclosed, euen the sonne of perdition,.... Geneva bible 1587

This is speaking about the preceding verse....
2 Thes 2:1 Nowe we beseech you, brethren, by the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, and by our assembling vnto him, ....Geneva bible 1587
 
Do you know what the phrase, "...wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together." means?

I would offer believers should be careful how they hear, what they say they do, by whom they say .

Parables must be rightly divided to give spiritual eternal value to the historical temporal. Born again believers are to buy the gospel truth and do not sell for temporal dying things of this world

Satan who has no spiritual understanding is not subject to the gospel . He takes away the spiritual meaning of a word by saying both mean the same .Leaving the literal dying witness. . no gospel understanding .(spiritual)

The mystery of the faithful gospel remains hid .

Mark used 9 times in Revelation. Sign 2 times .Not the same

With a eagle predator. . it would mean men are looking for signs to wonder after as if they were prophecy. rather than what hey real are false prophecy

Jesus said no sign is given wonder, wonder, wonder after. Believers continue to walk by the unseen eternal faith .Takes away the wondering.

Yoked with Christ's labor of love our daily burdens can be lighter with a living future hope beyond the temporal .

Satan the king of lying sign to wonder, wonder, wonder after . Oral tradition of dying mankind

Mark, and not Tattoo on the forehead and hand used to represent the will of dying mankind through the Bible . Sheep to the right hand, Goats to the left

Believers have the mind of Christ as it is written . the faithful power to do His loving will

The falling away (departing ) came when the veil was rent there was no Jewish King of kings siting in the holy of holies (oral tradition) The time of reformation had come .

The walls of separation came down the "all Jewish men's club" was over . The high wall that separated the Jewish women from men . . no girls allowed to participate in ceremonies came down and another wall that separated Jews from gentile fell down. Family member could now get together with out fear of the father of lies .

A great tribulation like never before or ever again for the Jew that was hoping his dying flesh could profit A great jubilee for all the nations of the world .

Satan could no longer deceive the whole world that God was a dying Jewish man as King of kings
 
Right, no further brainwashing required, as they had gone all the way in their impenitence.
Yes. It is fanaticism at full volume, top level, any way you can say that they will be blinded and hardened against everything. To the point that they don't care that they are in torment because of the beast. They would continue to worship him if they could. That is the full meaning of worship the beast and his image in the greek understanding. It isn't simply saying some words, or bowing in his direction. It is giving what belongs to God, our full heart, soul, and mind, to the beast and to his worship. There is nothing left for God.

I agree with Paul here in the scriptures you have quoted~ (btw, Geneva bible read exactly as our KJV does, just different spelling)

These scriptures agrees perfectly with what Christ said in Matthew 24!

Our gathering together unto Christ (the rapture, which means caught up) will not happen EXCEPT ~ first the man of sin is revealed! The man of sin, or the man of sin, is the same teaching as the abomination that God will make desolate!
No need for God people to flee...they're already gone.
Would you like to correct your understanding? You should, if you love the truth, more than what you have been taught, from false prophets.

I'll ask you the same question I have asked all premill folks~which comes first, the great apostasy, brought on by the man of sin in the pulpits around this world, or Christ for his elect?

No sign were given to wonder, wonder, wonder after as if true prohecy

I would offer the man of sin. Satan the spirit of false prophecy oral traditons of dying mankind. The tradition that works with false apostles .

It has ben revealed a lying spirit with no form needs form to deceive mankind. . . the man of sin (sinners).

Satan the antichrsit (another teaching authority other than sola scriptura (all things written in the law and prophets). Satan the lying spirit that works in anti-christs (legion) He attempted to deceive all the nations of the world that God was a Jewish man as King of kings .

Peter learned his lesson again and again the hard way. He was forgiven of His blasphemy against the Son of man, Jesus. That 33 year window of opportunity left over two thousands years ago Blasphemy against the unseen Holy Father never forgivable .

Peter the man of sin sent as a false apostle. . rebuked the Lord of Glory and forbid the Son of man Jesus from doing the will of the Father .

Teaching us to not look to the temporal historical dying for the living spiritual understanding. teaching how to walk by faith the unseen eternal things of the Father

Mathew 16:22-23 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

The word translated "departing", in the version of the Geneva Bible that you've quoted, means apostasy (departing from the faith). It was this apostasy that had to happen before the man of sin was revealed (the office of Pope).
 
It isn't simply saying some words, or bowing in his direction. It is giving what belongs to God, our full heart, soul, and mind, to the beast and to his worship. There is nothing left for God.
You mean it isn't the Covid jab?

From what I've read the RC Church changed the translation to make the protestant revolution seem like apostasy.

The apostasy happened long before the Reformation; in fact, it led to the "dark ages" and was somewhat reversed by the Reformation.

It's certainly true that Romanism turns everything upside down and claims that the Reformation was rebellion against the world's supreme authority; but, this is exactly the kind of thing that the devil's minions do.

There was no apostasy greater than the one Paul will mention that will come in the latter days of the last days. Also, you are wrong concerning the he pope...... he is not "The" man of sin, as many believe, he is just "one" of many...........the most visible of them

The truth is, the mystery of iniquity has always work since Cain onward, only just before Christ's returns to gather his elect unto him, it will work greater than ever before.

2 Thessalonians 2:7,8​

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:”

The apostasy happened long before the Reformation; in fact, it led to the "dark ages" and was somewhat reversed by the Reformation.
We truly do not know very much about those times, yet, I'm sure God had his children here and there ~ yet once the printing press was invented, in the fourteen hundred that changed everything, even the plowboy had a copy of the word of God and was able to defend what was in his heart. I would not say it was apostasy, so much as not having the means of folks having a copy of the scriptures for themselves~even though apostasy ruled through the RCC/EOC, etc who had copies in Latin, etc., and folks were at their mercy to hear.

was somewhat reversed by the Reformation.
By using the printing press! Today, the man of sin is making great inroad into rellgion through the TV, radio, mainly TV.

Thanks .I would offer..

The 15th century reformation is a carbon copy of the first century (Hebrews 9)or any time period. . . restoring of families that gather under the written authroity (Bible) .

Some called sola scriptura a heresy so they could keep their own oral tradition of dying mankind. . .called fathers

They could not prove the Bible is a heresy (philosophical opinion book)they walked away faithless mo understanding that could please our invisible Holy Father.

Acts 24: 13 -14Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, (not a legion of gods as patron saints ) believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

Where two or three born again believers gather together under the hearing of his faithful understanding that he freely gives to those born again from above. Emanuel is powerfully working with us .

Two or three a family. The smallest sect or denomination

Kings in Israel the abomination of desolation . Christ destroyed all kingdoms of powerless dying mankind.

The abomination of desolation Kings in Israel . The Athiest Jew refusing to worship the unseen King of kings .Lord of lords ,Father of fathers.

Like that of the Nicolaitans (sign and wonder seeker) as if it was prophecy.

Those born again from above were moved to repent and do the works of Christ working in us, with us performing the first works. . . . . Obeying the loving commandment, believe God not seen and do .

Not the will dying mankind seen (Nicodemus)

Revelation 2:1-6King James VersionUnto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. (Believe God not seen) Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; (obey the words) or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

Shrug.
 
Rev 14:
9And a third angel followed them, calling out in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10he too will drink the wine of God’s anger, poured undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented in fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Day and night there is no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”
That says anyone that worships the beast.
It does not say anyone that overcomes, conquered, or gotten the victory over the beast as scripture says can be done.
