Reason #16:
"The Apostle Paul makes it absolutely clear that the Man of Sin was already working in his day and
yet this man of sin will not be destroyed until Jesus comes. How could this be a literal person, if he was alive in Paul’s day and yet is not destroyed until Jesus comes? Is this one literal man who has lived over 2000 years? The inevitable conclusion is that the Man of Sin cannot be a literal man nor can his period of dominion be literal time. (See II Thessalonians 2:1-13).
It is also significant that Paul is getting his picture of the Man of Sin from the little horn of Daniel 7, the little horn of Daniel 8 and the King of the North in Daniel 11. This being the case, the little horn and the King of the North must have ruled for centuries, not for a few literal days."
