Strong's King James
(4) The one opposing and exalting himself above every so-called 'god' or object of worship, so that he's seated in the sanctuary of אֱלֹהִים Elohim, displaying himself as being אֱלֹהִים Elohim!
The F.O.G
[4] This infamous figure will oppose everything associated with God or worship. He'll exalt himself above every deity or sacred object humanity has ever revered. He'll even go so far as to enter God's temple, displaying himself as if he were God—the ultimate act of blasphemous arrogance.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God—the day doth not come.
