The apostle Paul told us Jesus could not return until there was "a falling away". Churches would fall away from scripture ... and the man of sin would be revealed with this falling away.
I fretted greatly before I learned this. After learning this, I was able to live in peace even when I knew of the falling way of the end times.
I learned just to walk away when I saw this perversion and not to try to attend those church groups. They will not be corrected. There is nothing I can do but leave them.
2 Timothy 3
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

The falling away of the end time churches.
II Thessalonians 2
(In 1982, God said to me: "The falling away are not individuals leaving the churches. The "falling away" are churches falling away from scriptures.")
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

The scriptures hold antichrist back. When churches fall away from portions of scripture and set up other doctrines, then antichrist moves into those churches.
Antichrist is not one individual but a spirit opposite to Christ living in humans.
Antichrist was already in the churches in the day of the apostle John.
John says:
I John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

When Jesus returns, HE will destroy the apostate churches.
II Thessalonians 2:8 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:

Just leave them alone and live in peace, and keep yourself without spot and blameless in the sight of God. (2 Peter 3:14)
