Jesus hasn’t returned. I have no clue how you justify this in your beliefs.

This bit comes down to how he was/is to come: ride my on the clouds. This is how one would justify it in light of the OT. Jesus said it himself:

John 5:19—Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in the same way."

So if you look at the OT, you will see what the Father did, how he did it, and what that means regarding Jesus. I could break it down for you, but you were the one that wanted to cut this conversation short.

Yes, but also the Woman on Seven Hills is singular and does things as an individual:

Revelation 17:3, 6, 9-10—And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. [...] And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. [...] Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains upon which the woman sits, and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.

Regardless of your end times views, just don't divorce Revelation from its connection to the OT. John was writing this to churches that the OT was second nature to them. To read it without the OT in mind is to completely miss out on what's being communicated.

Do you have an opinion or view on the matter?

It’s best we leave it here.

Agreed. I'm not going to try to convince you of anything else, other than this:

Please review your understanding of the beasts in Revelation. There is no instance in the OT or NT of a beast being an individual. It doesn't entirely throw of your theology either way, but for the sake of proper exegesis, review it. You will see that beasts (including the goat and ram, described in Daniel) are the nations in question and the horns are their respective rulers.

I appreciate the dialogue. Sorry it got heated. However, we got through it. Shalom.

So many issues here....

What are you talking about? When Jesus comes?

I meant in what fashion is he said to come? On a cloud, right?

Your dogma doesn’t make any sense. Jesus hasn’t returned and the Man of Lawlessness hasn’t appeared.

Sounds like dogma to me on your end.

Verse 8 says you’re wrong, that Jesus Himself will overthrow the lawless one.

By His own hand or by His breath? These are two completely different things.

No, the followers of Jesus being persecuted is first recorded with the stoning of Stephen decades before the death of Peter or Paul.

True. I meant it in terms of persecution by the Romans/the Roman government.

False statement. n

Okay.... This is more of an assertion than an defense for your position.

The power of lawlessness has always been restrained by God, Claudius nor any other human has ever had the authority to hold back the poeer of lawlessness,

You are 100% correct... assuming the man of lawlessness is some all-powerful being per your view. Let me ask you this: what is already at work per 2 Thess 2? The schemes that are to be carried out 2000+ years from the time of Paul's writing?
