2Thes 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.

Paul's use of "temple" is normally a reference to the church.

To: Lee N. Field; All

Are you honestly insisting that

that Scripture

2Thes 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.

Does NOT have to do with the Anti-Christ exalting himself above all that is called God . . . in a physical building Temple????

Shocking. Hard to believe even though I read it with my own eyes.

The verse is

1. CONSISTENT WITH THE CHARACTER of the Anti-Christ as described in all the Scriptures about him.

2. CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS of the Anti-Christ as described in several Scriptures.

3. CONSISTENT WITH A KEY ACT of the Anti-Christ as described in at least a few Scriptures.

4. CONSISTENT WITH THE ATTITUDE of the Anti-Christ in terms of exalting himself above all that is called or considered God . . . at a key point in THE GREAT TRIBULATION.

5. CONSISTENT WITH THE DEMAND of the Anti-Christ described in Scripture—TO BE WORSHIPPED AS GOD else the hapless subject shall be executed . . . such as not taking the mark and not bowing down to the Anti-Christ.

6. CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT ERA OF WORLD TV COVERAGE AS NO OTHER TIME IN THE LAST 2,000 YEARS COULD THE SPECIFIC PROPHECIES ABOUT THE WHOLE WORLD—as in every Nation, tribe, people group VIEWING SUCH EVENTS HAVE BEEN TRUE.

##############

So, I suppose, not too many years hence, WHEN the Anti-Christ sets up his image in the rebuilt Jewish Temple’s holy of holies and demands to be worshipped as God . . .

SUDDENLY WAKING THE JEWS UP THAT THEY’VE BEEN HAD AND HE’S AN IMPOSTER

Watching such on TV . . . assuming one hasn’t already been terminated or Raptured . . .

one should assume from the REPLACEMENTARIAN positions so preposterously pontificated hereon . . .

that . . .

—it’s a wayward lost episode of STARGATE SG-1?

—it’s a rejected sequence from THE MATRIX V?

—it’s a ET Broadcast fantasy of SHRILLERY’s?

—it’s a repeated and obsessively enjoyed dream of Georg Soros broadcast by means of ET technology on the world’s screens?

—what???

That's even more disconcerting for your position. So then the son of perdition as God will sit in the church of God, shewing himself that he is God. Is that what's going to happen???

Paul's use of 'church' is always a reference to the called out body of believers that make up the body of Christ...
