Paul is correcting misunderstandings about the end times - an overrealized eschatology. He does so be reminding them (v5) that they already know the very truths which should protect them against wrongheaded thinking on these issues. Certain things have to happen before the day of the Lord comes, and the "mystery of lawlessness" they now see will increase when he who restrains (I take this to be a certain ministry of the Holy Spirit) is removed. A theme of the control of God over end-times events further helps to give peace to the minds of the Thessalonicans. He has planned a destruction for the man of lawlessness (v8), and he even judges hard-hearted unbelievers who refuse to repent by sending them a dillusion to believe a lie (v11). So even in this massive rebellion against God, Satan's tactics are not ultimate, but God is. Doctrine on the end times is leveraged by Paul to dispel fear and uncertainty in the congregation.

NT

Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, ὑπὲρ τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ ἡμῶν ἐπισυναγωγῆς ἐπʼ αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ μὴ ταχέως σαλευθῆναι ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ νοὸς μηδὲ θροεῖσθαι,

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed,

μήτε διὰ πνεύματος μήτε διὰ λόγου μήτε διʼ ἐπιστολῆς ὡς διʼ ἡμῶν,

either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us,

ὡς ὅτι ἐνέστηκεν ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου•

to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

Μή τις ὑμᾶς ἐξαπατήσῃ κατὰ μηδένα τρόπον.

Let no one deceive you in any way.

ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ ἔλθῃ ἡ ἀποστασία πρῶτον

For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first,

καὶ ἀποκαλυφθῇ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς ἀνομίας, ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας,

and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

ὁ ἀντικείμενος καὶ ὑπεραιρόμενος ἐπὶ πάντα λεγόμενον θεὸν ἢ σέβασμα,

who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship,

ὥστε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καθίσαι

so that he takes his seat in the temple of God,

ἀποδεικνύντα ἑαυτὸν ὅτι ἐστὶν θεός.

[which is] proclaiming himself to be God.

Οὐ μνημονεύετε ὅτι ἔτι ὢν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ταῦτα ἔλεγον ὑμῖν;

[Surely you] remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

καὶ νῦν τὸ κατέχον οἴδατε

And you know what is restraining him now

εἰς τὸ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἑαυτοῦ καιρῷ.

so that he may be revealed in his time.

τὸ γὰρ μυστήριον ἤδη ἐνεργεῖται τῆς ἀνομίας•

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work.

μόνον ὁ κατέχων ἄρτι

Only he who now restrains it will do so

ἕως ἐκ μέσου γένηται.

until he is out of the way.

καὶ τότε ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ὁ ἄνομος,

And then the lawless one will be revealed,

ὃν ὁ κύριος [Ἰησοῦς] ἀνελεῖ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ

whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth

καὶ καταργήσει

and bring to nothing

τῇ ἐπιφανείᾳ τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ,

by the appearance of his coming.

οὗ ἐστιν ἡ παρουσία κατʼ ἐνέργειαν τοῦ σατανᾶ

The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan

ἐν πάσῃ δυνάμει καὶ σημείοις καὶ τέρασιν ψεύδους

with all power and false signs and wonders,

καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ἀπάτῃ ἀδικίας τοῖς ἀπολλυμένοις,

and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing,

ἀνθʼ ὧν τὴν ἀγάπην τῆς ἀληθείας οὐκ ἐδέξαντο εἰς τὸ σωθῆναι αὐτούς.

because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

καὶ διὰ τοῦτο πέμπει αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς ἐνέργειαν πλάνης

Therefore God sends them a strong delusion,

εἰς τὸ πιστεῦσαι αὐτοὺς τῷ ψεύδει,

so that they may believe what is false,

ἵνα κριθῶσιν πάντες οἱ μὴ πιστεύσαντες τῇ ἀληθείᾳ

in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth

ἀλλὰ εὐδοκήσαντες τῇ ἀδικίᾳ.

but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
