“who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called god or worshiped, so as for him to have sat down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he is God.”— 2 Thessalonians 2:4 (LSV)
1And we ask you, brothers, in regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together to Him,
2that you are not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the Day of the LORD has arrived;
3do not let anyone deceive you in any way, because if the departure may not come first, the man of lawlessness may [not] be revealed—the son of destruction,
4who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called god or worshiped, so as for him to have sat down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he is God.
5Do you not remember that, yet being with you, I said these things to you?
6And now, you have known what is restraining, for his being revealed in his own time,
7for the secret of lawlessness already works, only the [One] now restraining [will do so] until He may come out of [the] midst,
