“Called. Greek, “Worshipped by all nations, and that all their tongues and tribes might call him god.” (Haydock) — Behold to what lengths ambition may be carried. If he had only claimed a place among the other pagan deities, his title was as good as theirs. (Calmet) — He is a figure of Antichrist; for whom all heretics pave the way, 2 Thessalonians ii. (Worthington)”
