But it says he takes his seat in the Temple “of God” - that’s a very specific temple lol so yeah if Caesar’s set up temples and call themselves gods that’s fine- but this guy is gonna do it in gods temple, the church.

And he will be revealed after the Great Apostasy and Christ will destroy him at his coming w the breath of his mouth.

Caesar may be a type or shadow, of the spirit of Antichrist, heck later on the bishop of Rome/pope became one for Luther

This isn't an easy text, that's for sure. Some would say that your assertion that the "temple" mentioned here is the church is unfounded. They would say that Paul is talking about a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. I don't believe that's the case, but is Paul talking about the 1st century physical temple, the "temple" of the church, or a future rebuilt temple? I would say he's talking about the temple that was standing then in the 1st century.
