Asked by a few in PM because of my post, so here goes:
2Thess 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
We now look at what/who/where "the temple of God" is:
1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
I believe the 'man of sin' He refers to here, is mankind in general.
I now see the meaning of the verse as.....
Any person who denies that the Lord is the God of all life....and claim they/themselves ARE the God's of their own universe is a:
- 'man of sin', (humankind lost in sin, lies, disbelief of Christ)
- or/a 'son of perdition' (any child of His heading for hell, if not corrected)
* This is where my thoughts of a lone single AntiChrist (or the lack thereof), comes from too.
