And this son of hell is the complete opposite of the true and faithful Son of God. See 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 He will rise to fame through deception instead of through being devout. And his efforts will cause great fear and frustration instead of removing all doubt. And though he gain great honor, wealth, and fame, it will only serve to prove his shame. For on lies and deception will his honor be based. And by threats and intimidation will his power be gained. He will promise great and mighty and marvelous things to those on earth who worship him. He will promise land and wealth and power and prestige until they can feel the anguish of their lust and greed, until they can feel the despair of their hate and envy, until the emptiness of their arrogance and vanity has driven them all insane. Yet will he escape such an evil fate when he is so filled with pride and conceit? He will exalt himself as much as he can. And with very great boasts he will zealously brag. He will say that he is the best, which is to blindly accuse all the rest. See 2 Thessalonians 2:4 But all his efforts will only prove in the end that he has nothing but shame and emptiness. For if he feels the need to boast like this, then even he admits that his glory is not so obvious. And why should we believe that these things will happen? And why should we think that this will all come to pass? The simple fact is that God has not yet been glorified to the fullest extent before the eyes of all nations. So people suffer as a consequence of doubt, fear, and confusion. And what else is implied by thinking God is not except someone might think that he is God. Thus the man of sin will rule by the gun. And the right he will claim to rule everyone is that God Himself will not come to save anyone from all this destruction.
