2. The Revelation of Antichrist. And that man of sin shall be revealed, the Son of perdition; where two things are notable. 1. His rise and appearing. 2. The names and titles given to him.
1. His rise and appearing, expressed in the word [revealed] that is, that great and chief Antichrist, upon that Apostasy or falling away, shall be extant and show himself to the World. A thing is said to be revealed two ways; Either when it is in being, or when it is discovered; both ways are proper here. He shall publicly appear, exercising a Tyranny in the World, or cast off his Veil, and show himself in his Colours: God by his Providence permitteth him to be, and by the doctrine of the Gospel discovereth his impostures to all those who have no mind to be deceived.

2. The names or titles given to him, they are two. 1. The man of sin, wherein he is compared and likened to Antiochus. 2. The Son of Perdition; wherein he is compared and likened to Judas.
