[Cronos]

Also Paul, who was never afraid to name names, never put forth Nero (or any Roman) as the Man of Lawlessness. -- Thessalonians dates from 52 AD -- before the reign of Nero.

"Thessalonians dates from 52 AD -- before the reign of Nero."

So? If Paul can prophecy of a future Man of Lawlessness he could point out it was one of the living Julian heirs.
