Paul & the Third Temple?

Post by Spiritblade Disciple »

In 2nd Thessalonians 2:1-3, Paul the Apostle mentions that the Man of Sin sitting in the Temple of God.

When Paul wrote this, the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem was still standing.

Is there any evidence that Paul thought that the temple in which the Man of Sin would sit would be the Third Temple, rather than the Second Temple?

I don't think scripture will prove either way.
