In Thessalonians, one of the characteristics of the "man of lawlessness" before the second coming of Jesus Christ is that he will claim to be the God above all other gods. This person is described as an opponent of God, who exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, and he will even set himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. This is seen as a sign of the end times and the imminent return of Jesus Christ. The passage serves as a warning to believers to be vigilant and discerning in the face of such deception.
