Eschatology

"This man is not merely a pre-eminently godless individual, but...in him the humanity hostile to God comes to a definitive, eschatological revelation....The figure of the 'man of lawlessness' is clearly intended as the final, eschatological coutnerpart of the man Jesus Christ, who was sent by God to overthrow the works of Satan."

Anthony A. Hoekma, The Bible and the Future, p. 160
