The man of sin must be revealed before our redemption.

>>No,the falling away is not a departure. it is a moral, spiritual corruption of the entire Earth.<<

It's not the falling away. A little study of the ancient Greek helps.

646 apostasía (from 868 /aphístēmi, "leave, depart," which is derived from 575 /apó, "away from" and 2476 /histémi, "stand") – properly, departure (implying desertion); apostasy – literally, "a leaving, from a previous standing." [http://biblehub.com/greek/646.htm]

The departure of the ekklesi happens before that "man of sin" can be revealed.

“No,the falling away is not a departure. it is a moral, spiritual corruption of the entire Earth.”

That actually started happening during Paul’s life and is not the falling away talked about in the passage.
