The True son of Perdition

The Bible never defines just one Antichrist, but says even now there are many, 1 John 2:18. We have to remember that Satan is a created spirit and needs to work through others in order to build his literal kingdom here on earth. This will be a political, economic and a religious power that will sit upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north which is Jerusalem and cause the greatest falling away from truth, which is an abomination of desolation unlike any other.

Jesus said those who will endure in the faith of Christ unto the end the same shall be saved. Satan said, I will ascend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God (other ruling powers) I will sit also upon the Mount of the Congregation in the sides of the north (Jerusalem). I will ascend above the clouds, I will be like the Most High, Isaiah 14:12-15.

2Thessalonians 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;
2Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
 
Joh_17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Sister, I think you're right. How anyone could even conceptualize going to war with God is beyond me, but Ephesians 6:12 (the whole chapter) confirms it. I think the identity of the son of perdition or even the anti Christ could be anyone on the outside but the enemy spirits on the inside. And the enemy doesn't know when God's going to make a move, lol!! So it could be someone alive now, or would have been someone else if it happened say, 150 years ago. Satan has to keep someone in the wings ready at all times. It's the same spirit(s) though, inside.

This is all spirit realm stuff. Just as we are in Christ, and Christ in us...The evil spirits can merge also. Remember the man possessed with a legion of spirits? I googled legion & it's 3000-6000!! So I guess we could say they are in satan and Satan in them?

Sorry I think I'm rambling a bit.
...I was in the Spirit the day the Lord raptured His bride...:pray

Not sure what you mean with this statement. Can you explain what you are saying please?

It means that identifying who it is that literally sits 'in the temple of God, showing himself that he is god', is not possible without a temple of God. There was a literal physical temple of God when Thessalonians was written, but not now.

We know the Temple of God is in His heaven and no one could ever sit there other than God. Satan said he would exalt his throne above the stars of God and be just like God, Isaiah 14:13, 14, as Satan's kingdom is here on earth. What this verse in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 means is the son of perdition, which is Satan, works through those who are even now setting up a united new world order (Satan's kingdom/temple here on earth) that will control a one world united government, economic and religious system. Satan only uses those who are blinded to truth.

antichrist is anyone Satan uses to oppose all things of Gods truth like that of the beast (nations) antichrist (lawless man) and false prophet (those who teach a different doctrine).

I know that a lot of people think there will not be another real temple built in Jerusalem, that the temple is inside us, but those are different contexts.

No matter which view is correct, they are preparing to build another literal temple in Jerusalem, getting together building materials and such. Vids on YouTube.

What would be the stupidest thing they could do at this point? Build a temple and start sacrificing animals again. That's why they'll prolly do it.
 
Jesus called Judas the son of perdition and yet he had no temple at least not in the way we are thinking of temples at the moment..

I Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Antichrist would only have to say this about himself to qualify..
 
I don't believe God would allow another Temple to be built even though man is gathering materials for a new one. The Temple Mount would have to be handed over to the Jews in order for this to happen and the Muslims will never give it up as there is a greater plan in store for that of the false prophet to move his headquarters there in order to rule his New World Order. Jesus spoke in Matthew 24:2 that there will not be left one stone upon another after the Disciples showed Him the buildings of the Temple. Jesus then went up to the mount of Olives and explains why the temple will be destroyed as He gives an outline of the tribulation to come on earth during the seven trumpet and seven vial judgments of Gods great wrath upon the earth. When we see the Abomination of Desolation spoken by Daniel (antichrist who takes his seat in the newly remodeled Temple Mount that is even now being remodeled) we are then to stand in the holy place (our faith) and watch and wait for the return of Christ after Gods word has reached everyone.

Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

2Th 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.

1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

The temple Paul is speaking of in Thess. and Corinthians is our flesh body.

You are right, that it has zero to do with some supposed brick and mortar job in Jerusalem, Israel.

Look at Judas from scripture. What do you see? Just Judas? If so, take a closer look:

Luke 22:3
Then entered Satan into Judas
surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

The term "son of perdition" reappears in 2 Thess. and it's NOT Judas:

2 Thessalonians 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;

and WHO is this man?

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
 
The temple in which the "enemy sits" is our own vile flesh temple. That is where the wicked will be revealed.

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.

This is speaking of the literal Temple of God in Jerusalem that has been destroyed three different times and will never be given back to Israel. Between 605 – 537 B.C. Israel was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar and led into Babylon for seventy years while Nebuchadnezzar’s army killed many Jews in Judah and Jerusalem destroying the whole city of Jerusalem including the first Temple that was built through King Solomon’s reign in Jerusalem.

The second Temple was built under Ezra’s leadership and then Israel started practicing Judaism and their Temple was desecrated as part of an effort to impose Greek-oriented culture and customs on the entire population. Roman rule refurbished the temple as Herod, Romans vassal king, rules the land of Israel. In 70 A.D. the Temple is once again destroyed. The Temple Mount was taken over in 691 A.D. as the Arab nation built the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount and there has not been any other Temple built since that time.

Even now the Dome of the Rock that stands on the original Temple Mount is being refurbished and will be handed over in a treaty to the
The Pontifex Maximus god king religious system who Satan gives his seat and authority to as Satan works through this revived Roman Empire,.Isaiah 14:13-15; Rev 13:11-18.

Um, probably not.

Here is the temple from N.T. sights:

1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Here's a closer look at that body, currently:

Philippians 3:21
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

When CHANGE comes, that body will be destroyed.

Romans 8:10
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

What? The Holy Spirit resides in DEAD BODIES?

Yep. With full intentions of changing them by the Power of God in Christ in resurrection and a NEW body.

1 Cor. 15:
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Those who sit waiting for some bozo flesh man to show up in a brick and mortar bldg. in Jerusalem are wasting their time.

If you will excuse all my ignorance, may I ask, "What is the importance of knowing all this"?
 
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 the only God.
The Dome of the Rock & the Dome of the Prophet sits in the center of the original 1st and 2nd Temple Mount. So Allah and the False Prophet sits in the earthly Temple of God saying there is no God but Allah. This new prophet is greater then Jesus and says God has no Son, denies the Christ, and kills/beheads Christians for 1500 years.
They are running around the middle east marking Christians with their nun slavery symbol ن as a mark of ownership same as they do their animals.
The very Elect will accept all of this and say Allah is God, which they are already doing and advertise the mark which they are also already doing. Remember all we have to do is accept either the name of the beast or the number of his name.
 
If you will excuse all my ignorance, may I ask, "What is the importance of knowing all this"?
To understand that of what Satan claimed in Isaiah 14:13-15 and how this will happen in Rev chapter 13 before the return of Christ so we are not caught in his snare.
 
Um, probably not.

We are talking about a literal temple, not a Spiritual temple.
