## Resource

Who is the mysterious "man of lawlessness" in 2 Thessalonians 2? In this episode, pastor Stephen Baker examines one of the most debated passages in all of eschatology. While many Christians view this text as a prediction of a future Antichrist, this study explores whether Paul was instead describing first-century events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. By examining the apostasy, the temple, the restrainer, and the historical setting of Nero Caesar, we consider how Paul's warning would have been understood by its original audience and what it teaches us about judgment, rebellion, and the last days. Was Paul predicting our future—or explaining their future?
