A lot has to happen by Friday. See 2 Thessalonians 2:2-4.
Let no man deceive you saying that the day of Christ is at hand ...
2nd Thess 5-7 says the Holy spirit is taken out of the way first. Believers have the Holy Spirit so they are taken out of the way too. And then the lawless one is revealed and will go on to elevate himself as if he were a god.
That lightens up the to do list, doesn’t it? :D

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
