Like the 3 sun gods = trinity, the Mother of Harlots, Rome.
Inter -> 2 Thes 2:4 - Who opposeth and exalteth himself -> (itself) above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he (it, same, this, that) as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself -> (itself) that is God.
And this will continue until the following, but before then, the elect will have been already gathered just before, and then Jesus executes the God and Fathers wrath. 2:7,8 - For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrainswill do so until He (it, same, this, that) is taken out of the way. And then the lawless will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
Note -> lawlessness and lawless, are referring to one in the same, the lawless is NOT one individual, as many Bibles falsely show by ADDING the word "one" after the word "Lawless", to fool people.
The Temple here is people.
The truth will obviously be revealed at Jesus's coming, however, the horse has bolted and the wrath is about to happen. Hence people will have to cling to, what appears to them, a new found truth and go through the wrath?
Rev 7:9 - After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
OH NO, before these numbers above got there?; Rev 17:6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement. Rev 18:24 - And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.
Now picture the end time scene, you are standing before God, WHY would their be tears??????????????????????????????? Rev 21:4 - And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.
DO YOU THINK THAT PERHAPS, THE WRATH MIGHT BRING A TEAR OR TWO ?
