Greek scholar, E. Schuyler English, wrote an interesting book in 1954, Rethinking the Rapture. He looked at the linguistics of the Greek word, apostasia, usually translated as “apostasy.” He noted that the six English translations preceding the KJV translated the word as “departure.” Should II Thessalonians 2:3 read, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a departure first?
