To whom does the pronoun 'who' in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 refer?
In that verse, 'who' points to the man of sin, the Antichrist. He opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or worshiped, and he will set himself up as God in the temple, taking absolute control and rejecting all world religion.
Les teaches that the pronoun 'who' in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 refers to the man of sin, the Antichrist. This figure opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up as God in the temple of God. Les explains that he will not let any world religion have anything to do with him anymore but will take absolute control himself. Israel will rebuild her temple in Jerusalem, and at the midpoint of the Tribulation this fellow will move into that temple in Jerusalem and defy. Les connects this to Daniel chapter 9, which he calls foundational to prophetic study, especially Revelation and the seven years.
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.
