According to 2 Thessalonians, what will the coming world ruler do?

Paul writes that the coming world ruler will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God or worshipped, presenting himself as God. He will sit in the temple of God, which will be rebuilt and on the scene in Jerusalem.

Les explains that Paul is writing about the coming world ruler who will appear on the scene. In verse 4, this ruler will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped. He will set himself up as God, sitting in the temple of God, which will be rebuilt and on the scene in Jerusalem. Les ties this to Daniel, who said the ruler will worship the God of forces and exalt himself as God. He also observes that the world is now more ready for such a man, recalling a 1957 European leader's call for a great man to subject all people to himself.

2 Thessalonians 2:4

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Where does the coming ruler sit as God according to Paul?

Paul writes that the coming world ruler will exalt himself above all that is called God or worshipped, so that he as God sits in the temple of God. That temple will be rebuilt and located in Jerusalem, where he will oppose and exalt himself.
