In II Thessalonians, Paul discusses the Second Coming of Christ. His eschatological references reassures the people that the Lord had not yet come. Paul states that there will be a rebellion and that the man of lawlessness would be revealed. The man of lawlessness would set himself up in God's temple and would even say that he is God.
I have a few questions. Where did Paul get this concept? Who did Paul or the people of his day believe this person would be? What exactly did they believe he would do (besides set himself up in the temple and claim to be God)?
How did they believe it would happen? Where would this person come from?
Can anyone help me to understand what was said in Paul's day about this or what you may know about this?
