• {v.8-9} Satan—not God—gives him his authority; and in the second beast all the energy of Satan is present. The man of sin is there. Here it is not outward and secular power that is spoken of, but the religious side of Satan’s energy. (“2 Thessalonians 2” by J.N. Darby)
• In a word, instead of the assembly, the apostasy; instead of the Holy Spirit, Satan; and instead of the authority of God as a restraint upon evil, the unbridled man setting himself up as God on the earth. (“2 Thessalonians 2” by J.N. Darby)
• Before, it was man forsaking God, wicked, and exalting himself. Here, it is opposition against God on the part of man, unrestrained, and inspired by Satan himself. Consequently, we have (not the wicked one, but) the lawless—the unbridled—one. The principle is the same, for sin is lawlessness (see 1 John 3:4, Greek). But in this first case man is viewed in his departure from God, and in his guiltiness; in the second, as acknowledging none but himself. (“2 Thessalonians 2” by J.N. Darby)
• Verse 8, is the manifestation of His presence publicly in creation. At the time of this public manifestation of His coming He destroys the whole work and power of the wicked one. It is the Man formerly obedient and humbling Himself on the earth, exalted of God, and become Lord of all, who destroys the lawless man that has exalted himself above everything and made himself as God, instead of being obedient to God. (“2 Thessalonians 2” by J.N. Darby)
• The restrainer gone is the signal for the revelation of the lawless one. (“On 2 Thessalonians 2:8” by W. Kelly)
• When, by the departure of the actual and mighty hindrance, it shall reach this climax in the assumption of supreme divine honor here below, the Lord Jesus as it were accepts the challenge, and displays Himself to the destruction of His enemy. This will be "the day" not the coming or presence merely, but His appearing. (“On 2 Thessalonians 2:8” by W. Kelly)
• The day of the Lord is a further step of His advent, not merely His coming, but the appearing or manifestation of His coming, as the phrase in verse 8 really means. This would naturally admit of a striking difference. His presence to gather His own to Himself is never so called. He comes to translate the saints dead or living to heaven. It is not merely His coming, but the appearing or manifestation of it which destroys the lawless one. This last is, or coalesces with, His day; which therefore could not be, till the lawlessness that brings down the swift and final judgment of the Lord is fully revealed. (“On 2 Thessalonians 2:8” by W. Kelly)

and then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consumea with the breathb of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing of his coming;

JND Translation Notes

Or, according to some authorities, "destroy."
b
Or "spirit."

W. Kelly Translation

8
and then shall be revealed the lawlessa one, whom the Lord Jesusb shall destroyc with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestationd of his cominge;

WK Translation Notes

+
a
I quite agree with those who take the word "wicked" as altogether too feeble.
b
The critical addition of "Jesus," is on excellent authority, and as it gives more definiteness to the expression, so it excludes any mere dealing in providence.
c
Neither {vi 21960}{/vi}, nor {vi 29670}{/vi}, implies, as may our English word "consume," a gradual waning of strength. "Destroy" is the true force of the Chaldee and of the Greek.
d
"A bright coming" is weak and vague, though no one doubts its awful and penetrating brightness.
e
The word "coming" here, and frequently elsewhere, is (parousias), which denotes not barely the arrival, but the circumstance or state of being present; that is, "presence." Nevertheless, as the presence of a person, who is now absent, necessarily supposes his coming, the latter is often and fairly enough given as its English equivalent, though the former is the full meaning.
