Culminating with great devastation, before His return.
My thoughts are that something causes a worldwide resolution for global peace. Which event may include "the Rapture".
Scriptures indicate that this "peace" will last only briefly.
The "mark" will be instituted during this time, apparently, which will give a sense of peace.

I went back and read the book you had post, nothing in it refers to the white horse in the book of Revelation. Paul was speaking to the Thessalonian Christians. he was basically telling them to stand firm in their faith. and some of these obviously have that Heavenly calling. he's telling them to NOT believe everything that seem to be from them, but isn't. they need to check first to see if it is.
"Son of Perdition" can either be taken singular or plural. but in this case Paul was referring to false teachings, (
Matt. 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect), which comes by many who satan uses. these are doomed for destruction. those who have that Heavenly ,if not on guard, can be led away from the truth which will cost them that Heavenly reward.
man will call out peace, because it would seem that way. but they will be fooled, that's when the End will hit ,(
1Thess. 5:3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape). true!, there will soon be global peace on Earth, but not by means of ANY human government,(
Dan. 2:44). it will be Jehovah God's doing, by means of our reigning king Jesus Christ and his 144,000 who will rule with him, (
Rev. 5:10). and this will last forever! peace
