It goes on to say...

2 Thess 2:6
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
KJV

This was clearly written to the Thessalonians...

2 Thess 2:15
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
KJV

They were told to stand fast...

"88 Reasons why Christ will come in 1988"... now that's a lie...
"Hitler is the Anti-Christ"... that's a lie....
"1948 was the year that started this generation that would not pass?" A lie....

I agree. Take the gay marriage issue, for example.

10-15 years ago, homosexual marriage wasn't even a thought [in mainstream society]. Now it's seems practically inevitable. I'd be surprised if it doesn't become the law of the land within 5 years.

In the first century many were leaving faith in Christ and going back into the ceremonial law and trusting in it for salvation.

When the moral fabric of a society declines it effects all areas of a society.
Also the decline of the family unit brings moral degradation,strong families make strong churches.
God made the family before He made the church.
