Nowhere in these 3 Chapters of Thessalonians does Paul refer to ONE MAN, or a singular antichrist. Paul only refers to multiple people, the Wicked, who will be destroyed with the brightness of his second coming.
Don’t be confused. It would be wise for everyone to take heed and not fall into the trap of misreading scripture.
Do not be deceived, study the scriptures and seek the truth through the Holy Spirit and then be faithful and obedient for the great Day of the Lord is at hand.

The term “Son of Perdition” is only found 2 times in the King James Bible. Both times it refers to multiple people, not just ONE MAN. It is never referred to as just one “antichrist”. Therefore, it should be understood that God is using this terminology for a reason.
It would be wise not to put words in God’s mouth.

John 17:1-26
1. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Just from this one chapter it is clear that the term “Son of Perdition” is referring to “them” the many who are lost and who are not saved in Christ.
If you think Son of Perdition is referring to just one antichrist, you are strongly deceived.
Even the word “Perdition” is only found 6 times in the Bible. It means “spiritual ruin”. Let’s see if that word alone refers to ONE MAN.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Philippians 1:28
28. And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
1 Timothy 6:9
9. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Hebrews 10:39
39. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.;
2 Peter 3:7
7. But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Revelation 17:8
8. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation 17:11
11. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Even the word “Beast” in the Bible is never referenced as just ONE MAN.
It is referred to as a kingdom, and kingdoms have kings, who are referred to as “horns”.
This word Perdition is used as a term of action, whereby, a sinful and unrepentant person loses their spiritual soul and is forever damned.
It is never just ONE MAN or Mr. Antichrist. It’s all unbelievers.
