The Great Apostasy

4 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

Who will depart from the faith?

What are the doctrine of demons?

What does this mean ? '' forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. ''?

"forbidding to marry"
I believe Paul was speaking of those who embraced the Gnosticism of his day which disallowed marriage to all those who believed. All members of the group were forbidden to marry. Most likely this was also the case concerning what was permissible to eat to an extreme extent.
