High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The notion of the Son of Perdition or the Man of Sin or The Wicked One can be found in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and John 17:12 and is a name commonly associated with the AntichristNearly all commentators, both ancient and modern, identify the Man of Sin in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 as the Antichrist, even though they vary greatly in who they view the Antichrist to be. The "man of sin" is variously identified with Caligula, Nero, John of Giscala, Papacy, and the end times Antichrist. Some scholars believe that the passage contains no genuine prediction (Paul "could not know" the future), but represents a speculation of the apostle's own, based on Dan 8:23 ff; 11:36 ff, and on current ideas of Antichrist(at the time). Some scholars today believe that 2 Thessalonians was not written by Paul.
