27 He will make a firm covenant[a]
with many for one week,[b]
but in the middle of the week
he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering.
And the abomination of desolation(A)
will be on a wing(B) of the temple[c][d]
until the decreed destruction(C)
is poured out on the desolator.”

The Man of Lawlessness

Now concerning the coming(A) of our Lord(B) Jesus Christ and our being gathered to Him: We ask you, brothers, not to be easily upset in mind or troubled, either by a spirit(C) or by a message or by a letter as if from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord[a](D) has come.(E) Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. For that day will not come unless the apostasy[b] comes first and the man of lawlessness[c] is revealed, the son of destruction. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god(F) or object of worship,(G) so that he sits[d] in God’s sanctuary,[e] publicizing that he himself is God.
