Would not the article most naturally refer to the context,
the first verse of the chapter, "our gathering together
unto Him?"

Kenneth Wuest renders he apostasia in 2 Thess. 2:3 as:
"the aforementioned departure" referring to vs. 1.

It would seem to me that the "rebellion" interpretation is
contextual nonsense. There is no precedent for such
a rebellion, at this stage, in the Pauline revelation; and
since "rebellions" are so common throughout all time,
it would be far to nebulous to have any real meaning
to the comfort of the Thessalonians.
