2 Thessalonians 2:3-8

3Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. For that day will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.

4He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits in God’s temple, proclaiming that he himself is God.

5Don’t you remember that when I was still with you I used to tell you about this?

6And you know what currently restrains him, so that he will be revealed in his time.

7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one now restraining will do so until he is out of the way,

8and then the lawless one will be revealed. The Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his mouth and will bring him to nothing at the appearance of his coming.
