2Thess.2:4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

Who would among Christian's exalt themselves over other members of the body of Christ Jesus? It would be someone that thinks they are superior to other members of the same body, but how could that be, when a hand on our own body is not better than a foot? What mind promotes this? It certainly could not be the mind of Christ Jesus, the head of his body, no!

Philip.2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.

This person had felt some how by their great works that he/she had earned more merit than others of his faith. He was like a worldly man that exalts himself in a kingdom over subjects taking the right to rule over them, in fact, discipline them by his own judgments.

This king is a man, whom elevates himself into royalty by position of power and authority. In every way this man has a worldly mind, a mind outside of he body of Christ. He steals Christ God given position of authority, seating himself as God.

Who would be so foolish does a “slave” take such a authority over God's own children whom God has given them the righteousness of Christ Jesus? Who would take Christ Jesus position as king over the body members of Christ Jesus using teachings from God's word the bible? Satan the Devil! Yes, but Satan the Devil is not the man of sin, but the man of lawlessness certain has the personality of Satan the Devil in him.

This person has no fear of righteous one God has anointed as his temple, but how could that be? Well, its very simple the man of sin is a judge, but what can he judge nothing! Why? Because God's children are freed of God's judgment in Christ Jesus?

Rom. 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"}

Good question, what indeed does this king of the body of Christ Jesus judges Christ Jesus brothers with? Laws of death, laws of the Old and, laws of sin, blinding himself with self-righteousness which makes him like Satan in using unauthorized laws to bring death by laws abolished in Christ Jesus against God's children.

Paul himself was without law as Saul under the Old Covenant, blinded by judgment of the law, he could not see he was persecuting Christ Jesus own righteousness found in his body members upon earth. Paul was blinded by the light of Christ Jesus righteous on the way to Damascus before he got it. Christ Jesus was now ruling in his Kingdom, through his righteousness that completed the Old Law. God did not put second best in His Kingdom, no He put the merit of Christ Jesus righteous life over his body members.

The man of lawlessness make the same mistake, but through a polluted mixtures of both covenant combined into confusion and corruption of yeast polluting the whole unleavened bread of Christ Jesus teachings by earn merited of self-reliant religion.

Yes, this was about power, control of setting up religions as governments over mankind, this was a scheme of using laws that empower position and wealth. The new covenant does just the opposite, it takes worldly power, pride, materialism bring them under judgment of the Royal law love found for those in Christ. It makes them no part of this world, where as the man of lawlessness comes to power with laws of yeast to build his world wide empire of false religion.

The law of love does not play position favorites, it does not compete for power, it serves as a slave to other body members. This was not what his man of sin wanted, he had a fleshly mind, a worldly mind set upon being worship through power and position. He wanted to be equal to Christ for glory upon earth, he did not want to suffer in the humble life of Christ Jesus, no! He wanted to shine in his own glory like Satan thinking himself as worthy as God's Son.

So like Satan, he departed from the humble life of Christ Jesus into the power of the wisdom of this world, making himself powerful in judging those freed from God's judgment by his elevated position and power. He used guilt and remission of sin by members meeting his requirements cloaked in the righteousness of the Old law polluted with the new covenant.

Yes, the man of sin had secret knowledge, beyond God's love found in Christ Jesus, secret knowledge that excited the flesh of fleshly minded Christian's such as end times prophecy where subjects would not have to wait upon Christ coming as a servant, but instead exciting the flesh with life saving knowledge or be left behind in the darkness. Just like the father of lie deceiving Eve into thinking God was withholding knowledge of good and evil from her. The man of lawlessness states he has this knowledge, but not only does he profess such knowledge, members of the body of Christ must come away from the tree of life in Christ Jesus to eat of his tree of good and evil.
