Bonaventure, on 2Thess 2:4

“Who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God.”

“In the second mystery, that of the punishment of crimes, the Antichrist is represented by Nemrod who was the first to make himself emperor, and under whose command a tower was built that was to reach up to heaven. By this it may be seen that the Antichrist would be filled with the greatest pride, to the point of being "exalted above all that is called God."”
