In the prophecy of Thessalonians regarding the coming of the man of sin, the antichrist, I would like to point something out that most people are missing. The text says in part...
“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. ”
2 Thessalonians 2:4 KJV

During His ministry on earth, Jesus defended the temple against abuse and misuse with much zeal and concern. He called the temple His Father's house, therefore giving it a definite identity as the temple or house of God. However. The last time Jesus left the temple He said,
“
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. ”
Luke 13:35 KJV

Your house!! Not God's house any more. And that was the temple the Son of God made holy by His presence. No longer His Father's house or even His own, but now belonging to a bunch of hypocritical self righteous murderers, who had rejected God by rejecting His Son. Now, back to Thessalonians. Paul is talking about a future temple. A temple later than that which Jesus ministered in, because Paul defined it as the temple of God. Not the Jews' house. That was destroyed in 70ad. But Paul is definitely talking about a future temple of God. A temple graced by the presence of God. His house.
The theory of modern Christianity is that Jews, who utterly reject Jesus as their Messiah, and cling to a religion that insults the Son of God, build a temple, offer sacrifices that are a blasphemous insult to the entire plan of salvation, and in the inspired word of God is called the house of God? Good actually approves of this and allows His Spirit to abide there? That makes absolutely no sense whatever, particularly when scriptures clearly and definitively identifies the NT temple as God's church. Therefore, the idea that the antichrist sets up shop in a temple in Jerusalem is way off the mark, and Christians the world over are supporting a concept that is satanically deceptive. Which leaves us with but one other option. Antichrist sets up his throne, and proclaims himself as God
in the church.
The abomination of desolation, as brought upon God's people in a localised literal sense at 70AD, will be repeated on a global scale in a spiritual sense before the second coming. First brought about by the idolatry of pagan Rome as they planted their idolatrous banners in their desecration of holy ground around Jerusalem, but in the future brought about by the idolatry of papal Rome in a global sense by their desecration of the spiritual temple of God, the church. If you don't think the popes think they are God on earth, then explain this...
