Antichrist

Antichrist: 2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;...

The word "wicked (one)" mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:8 actually means "the lawless one."  The Antichrist will not only be the man of sin, but the man of lawlessness.  He will have no regard for the law of God. He will be a rebel against all that represents God and His standards.  His greatest act of  lawlessness will be when he presents himself as God (2 Thess. 2:4).

The word "ANTICHRIST" can mean "AGAINST CHRIST." We know that this man will be against Christ and against the people who believe in Christ. He will be God’s enemy! He will be a foe, not a friend. He will OPPOSE God (2 Thess. 2:11) and he will fight against everything that stands for God. He also has a BIG MOUTH that will speak against God (see Daniel 7:8; Rev. 13:5).

The word "ANTICHRIST" can also mean "To take the place of Christ." Jesus Christ is the One who should be loved and worshiped and adored, but this wicked man will try to get himself loved and worshiped and adored (2 Thess. 2:4).
