The Day of the Lord Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,
not to be easily shaken from your composure or disturbed by any kind of spirit or message or letter allegedly from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here.
Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.
He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, and as a result he takes his seat in God’s temple, displaying himself as God.
Surely you recall that I used to tell you these things while I was still with you.
And so you know what holds him back, so that he will be revealed in his own time.
For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work. However, the one who holds him back will do so until he is taken out of the way,
