In 2 Thessalonians 2, the man of sin, also called that Wicked and the son of perdition, is revealed after a falling away. His coming is empowered by Satan “with all power and signs and lying wonders,” while he opposes and exalts himself above God, sitting in the temple of God and presenting himself as God.
