You have no scriptural instruction to tie Antichrist of St John to St Paul's man of sin. None.
2 Thessalonians 2 -
1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8
Looks like Paul refers to him by three different names here.
And none of those 3 names are "antichrist"
What I like or don't like makes no difference, there is simply ZERO scriptural instruction to refer to the MoS, SoP, Lawless one or Beast as "The Antichrist".Maybe you don't like him to be refereed to as antichrist. WHY?
It is solely a Man made tradition to do so. The Bible teaches no such thing.
Daniel never discusses antichrist. Not even once.31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation.
35 And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time. 36 "Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. Daniel 11:35-36
What name does Daniel refer to him as?
