2 Thessalonians / Question
Question source
2 Thessalonians
Paul says that day will not come unless “the rebellion comes first” and “the man of lawlessness is revealed” (2 Thessalonians 2:3). He describes this figure as opposing and exalting himself against every so-called god, even taking his seat in the temple of God and proclaiming himself to be God (2 Thessalonians 2:4).
3Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,
4he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.
