About the word "parousia"...
For those who believe the text of 2Th2 chapter is speaking of FUTURE events (I believe I recall "presidente" [member] believes it is now PAST from our perspective)... but for those who believe 2Th2 passage is speaking of FUTURE events, how do you see this word as applied to the "man of sin" (per 2Th2:9a), IOW, what do you believe it means regarding his/the man of sin's "parousia"?

3952 parousía (from parōn, "be present, arrive to enter into a situation") – properly, coming, especially the arrival of the owner who alone can deal with a situation (cf. LS). 3952 (parousía) is a "technical term with reference to the visit of a king or some other official, 'a royal visit' " (Souter) – "hence, in the NT, specifically of the Advent or Parousia of Christ" (A-S).
[3952 (parousía) is "used in the east as a technical expression for the royal visit of a king, or emperor. The word means literally 'the being beside,' thus, 'the personal presence' " (K. Wuest, 3, Bypaths, 33).]
