The Two Phases of The Antichrist: Man of Sin and Son of Destruction

Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin (266 ἁμαρτία hamartia), the son of destruction (684 ἀπώλεια apoleia), (2 Thess. 2:3 BBE)

"Man of sin" (458 ἀνομία anomia). The Genitive construction" denotes a man who "is motivated by sin". As "sin is lawlessness" (1 Jn. 3:4), the miracle working False Christ is lawless, he will condone acts against God's law.

The Holy Spirit likely chose "son of destruction" to allude to Judas a "son of the evil one" (Jn. 17:12; 6:70 BBE). Confirming this, Satan is called "Destruction" and "Apollyon" in Revelation 9:11. Like Judas he will be a miracle working Jewish Christian whom the apostate church will hail "is the Christ (Mt. 24:4-5, 23-25)."

At mid-week he morphs into "the son of destruction" the literal "seed of Satan" (Gen. 3:15), revealing he is a hybrid Elohim-human created by the "Designers". His Pompous Mouth (Dan. 7:8, 20; Rev. 13:5) boastfully claims to be superior in nature to all Elohim, that all formerly called God were extraterrestrials thus denying the Father and the Son (1 John 2:18-23).

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 Thess. 2:4 NKJ)

That is what the prophet Daniel revealed, the Desolator (Antichrist) comes in two phases, first as a friend to the world's religions, but at mid-week he forbids their sacrifices and offerings to God:

And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator." (Dan. 9:27 RSV)

ANTICHRIST

antichristos (ἀντίχριστος, 500) can mean either “against Christ” or “instead of Christ,” or perhaps, combining the two, “one who, assuming the guise of Christ, opposes Christ”-Vine, W. E., Unger, M. F., White, W., Jr. (1996). In Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (Vol. 2, p. 30). T. Nelson.

So the Antichrist has two phases. For 3.5 years he is the "Man of Sin" "false Christ" speaking through a mouth "like a lion" (2Th. 2:3. Rev. 13:2), then he opposes the historic definitions of God speaking blasphemies (Rev. 13:5) pompously exalting himself above them all as the "Son of Destruction" (2Th. 2:3-4) "Seed of Satan" (Gen. 3:15) "Antichrist" denying the Father and the Son (1Jo. 2:18, 22).

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away (646 ἀποστασία apostasia) 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 Thess. 2:3-4 NKJ)

The great apostasy from God begins in the Christian church when it receives the "Man of Sin" as "the Christ" taking away (05493 סוּר cuwr) the Daily offered to God in Christ, the sacrifice for our sins. The religious apostasy goes global as the Man of Sin morphs into the Beast Son of Destruction. Then everything called God or formerly worshipped as God, is replaced by worship of Adonikam who claims his hybrid human-Elohim nature is superior to all Elohim, regardless what God is called on the earth. That is when he ends all sacrifice to God globally (Dan. 9:27), at "mid-week" or 3 ½ years into his seven year reign.
