2 THESSALONIANS 2:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 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.”
Who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, and even seats himself in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God — the man of lawlessness is supremely arrogant (hyperupsoō, to exalt to the extreme); he claims the prerogatives and seat (kathizō) of God himself. The 'temple of God' (naos tou theou) may refer to the Jerusalem temple or to the church as God's dwelling. Blasphemy reaches its apex.
