Man of sin

When he started acting.

As we read ¹ , we find " apostasy come first and the man of sin, the son of perdition " be revealed " ¹ , when this" man of sin " ¹ existed , he therefore says," For the mystery of iniquity already works; there is only one who now detains him until he is thrown out " ¹ , therefore this" mystery of iniquity already works " ¹ , but at that time," there is only one who now detains him " ¹ , what would this time be" now " ¹ .

The book quoted is Thessalonians, such a book is usually dated, 51 AD, so " now " ¹ , it is located before the writing of the book. Now who is this " there is only one who now holds him " ¹ , reading directly from the Greek we have:

( to gar musthrion ) ² this is for a secret, or it is for a mystery ³ , it can be defined that this is about something or some council or hidden person. ( hdh energeitai ) ² , already active, currently operating, already acting. ( thv anomiav monon ) ² , this wicked is alone, or is one, this transgressor is one, ( the katecwn arti ewv ek ) ² , this possessed ⁴ , is still leaving, or is beginning to appear ( mesou genhtai ) ² , to become public, to become popular.

Understanding the text, we have that there is a mystery that will be revealed, something that was hidden but that should appear, a possessed, in the idea possessed by evil, was active but was still leaving his place, he is a transgressor or wicked, and at the moment only he was possessed, but he is still leaving, so that everyone knows him, that is to say he possessed now wants to become popular but at the time his work of popularity was beginning.

Matthew Henry, defines " This passage exactly agrees with the papacy system since it prevails in the Roman Church, and under the popes of Rome " ⁵ , as we read that ( hdh energeitai ) ² , already active, currently operating, already acting. We therefore have that its beginning occurs while " the apostles were still alive " ⁵ , therefore before 51 AD

  1 2Th 2: 1 Now as for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our meeting with him, brothers, we beseech you,
2Th 2: 2 not to move easily in your way of thinking, nor to be disturbed, either by spirit either by word or by letter as sent from us, as if the day of the Lord was already near.
2Th 2: 3 Let no one deceive you in any way; because this will not happen without apostasy first and the man of sin, the son of perdition,
2Th 2: 4 who opposes and rises against everything called God or is the object of worship, is revealed , so that sits in the sanctuary of God, presenting himself as God.
2Th 2: 5 Don't you remember that I said these things to you when I was still with you?
2Th 2: 6 And now you know what holds him back so that in due time it may be revealed.
2Th 2: 7 For the mystery of iniquity is already at work; there is only one who now holds him until he is thrown out;
2Th 2: 8 and then that wicked one will be revealed, to whom the Lord Jesus will kill like the breath of his mouth and destroy with the manifestation of his coming;
2Th 2: 9 to that wicked person whose coming is according to the effectiveness of Satan with all the power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 and with all the deception of injustice for those who perish, because they have not received the love of truth for be saved.
2Th 2:11 And therefore God sends them the operation of error, that they may believe the lie;
2Th 2:12 so that all those who did not believe in the truth should be judged, but had pleasure in injustice.
2Th 2:13 But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, beloved of the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for the sanctification of the spirit and faith in the truth,
2Th 2:14 and for this He called you for our gospel, to attain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 2:15 So, then, brothers, stand firm and keep the traditions that have been taught to you, either by word or by our epistle.
2Th 2:16 And the Lord Himself, Jesus Christ, and God our Father who loved us and by grace has given us eternal comfort and good hope,
2Th 2:17 console your hearts and confirm them in every good work and word.

2Th 2:5-12 - Something hindered or withheld the man of sin. It is supposed to be the power of the Roman empire, which the apostle did not mention more plainly at that time. Corruption of doctrine and worship came in by degrees, and the usurping of power was gradual; thus the mystery of iniquity prevailed. Superstition and idolatry were advanced by pretended devotion, and bigotry and persecution were promoted by pretended zeal for God and his glory. This mystery of iniquity was even then begun; while the apostles were yet living, persons pretended zeal for Christ, but really opposed him. The fall or ruin of the antichristian state is declared. The pure word of God, with the Spirit of God, will discover this mystery of iniquity, and in due time it shall be destroyed by the brightness of Christ
