The Man of Sin (Antichrist) has 5 important characteristics. They are sin (lawlessness), pride (opposed / exalted against God), Satan-powered, signs / wonders and lies / deception. The Man of Sin is also described in many other titles, symbols and types of the antichrist. The Man of Sin is powered by Satan and is a prideful leader politically and in the church. This Antichrist sits in the Temple of God, which is symbolic of him having significant power within the church. This occurs during the Great Tribulation when the church and parachurches are Babylon.
