The man of sin, the son of perdition 2 Thessalonians 2:3:
Greetings friend, this message is sent in love. Revelation was written circa 65 A.D. and fulfilled 66 -70 A.D. Almost every prophet talks about the "last/latter" days of the Mt.Sinai/Mosaic covenant. The "last days" are defined as the last days of this old covenant. Daniel gives the dates when the new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-43) would be established, chapters 2:44, 7:14, 9:24, while Rome is in power, this is the second coming/resurrection that all of the new testament writers preached.
Christ was very specific pertaining to his return date. Matthew 16:27-28. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Matthew 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. Christ told the priesthood standing in front of him: Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
In the lifetime of his audience, this generation, Christ returned, per his own testimony.
Pertaining to the man of sin, read Jocephus, whom was an eyewitness to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Wars of the Jews book 4, chapter 3, section 7. The revelation that Peter told his audience they would witness, 1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Ananus was the high priest in the first century A.D. when the song of Moses (Deuteronomy 32) was being fulfilled, "latter days", being sung in Revelation 15. He was murdered by the Idumeans and replaced with a "false" high priest named Phannias. There is a possibility that Phannias is the man of sin spoken of by Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. Obviously, the Thessalonian church members knew who was holding back the man of sin, (Paul said they knew him).
2 Thess 2:5-6 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
The Thessalonians would have known the priests in Jerusalem. They would have known that Ananus was the high priest, until he was murdered. Thus, Ananus was holding back the man of sin, Phannias. John also told his audience the antichrist was coming, it is the last time (he repeats this statement twice).
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. And follows with verse 28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. Letting his audience know that they are about to witness the revelation/resurrection of Jesus Christ.
At the end of Johns gospel, John 21:18-24, we find Christ telling Peter he was going to die a martyr and why does it matter to him if John is still alive when he returns? Christ returned, destroyed the temple in judgment, fulfilling the law. Christians and Jews are still looking for a Messiah, that the scriptures teach has already come. Again, this message is sent in love, your friend
