1Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, 2unless the rebellion comes first, and 3the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, 4the son of destruction,[b]

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers,
2
not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
3
Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
4
who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
5
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
