The false man-God

2 Th 2:1–12

2 ⇔Now concerning the return of our master Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) Messiah and our being gathered together with him,[ref] we are asking you all, brothers and sisters, 2 to not be alarmed or have your thinking jolted back-and-forth by any ‘spirit’ or message or letter that seems to come from us that tries to say that the master has already returned. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, because before that happens many people will turn away from the good message, and the lawless man will be revealed—the conveyor of destruction 4 who opposes every god or object of worship and puts himself above them all—seating himself in God’s temple and (supposedly) demonstrating that he is God.[ref]

5 Don’t you remember how I told you people this when I was still with you? 6 Now you know what’s restraining him so that he’ll be revealed at the proper time, 7 because the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, except that it’s being restrained until he’s taken out of the middle, 8 and then the lawless man will be revealed. The master Yeshua will kill him with his breath[ref] and neutralise him with the appearance of his coming. 9 The lawless man was coming and working under Satan with his power and signs and false miracles[ref] 10 and with every unrighteous seduction. These deceive those who are perishing, because they never had the love for the truth that could have saved them. 11 That’s why God is sending deceptive practices to them, so that they can continue to believe in the falsehood, 12 so that all of those who didn’t believe in the truth, but took pleasure in wicked actions, will be judged and sentenced.

Collected OET-RV cross-references

1Th 4:15-17:

15 So this is what we’re saying in Yahweh’s message: those who are still living when the master returns, we certainly won’t precede those who’ve already died[ref] 16 because there’ll be an announcement from the archangel and God’s trumpet will sound and then the master will come down from heaven with a loud shout. The dead believers in Messiah will come to life again first,[ref] 17 then we who are still alive will be pulled up into the clouds together with them to meet the master in the air, and from then will always remain with Yahweh.

Dan 11:36:

36 The northern (Arami) king will do whatever he wants. He’ll boast and claim to be greater than any god,[ref] and he’ll say terrible things against the god of gods,[ref] . He’ll be successful until the indignation is accomplished, because everything will happen just as it’s already been determined.

2 “Son of humanity, tell Tsor’s (Tyre’s) ruler that the master Yahweh says this: Your heart is proud and you’ve said, “I’m a god. I’ll sit in the seat of gods in the vital centre of the oceans.” Even though you’re a man and not a god, you tell yourself that you’re a god.
