Was Paul writing to converted Jews?

He was writing to the church in Thessalonica ... I'm sure there were some converted Jews but wouldn't many of the converted ex-pagans have no idea that Paul was referring to the temple in Jerusalem ....???

So what did Jesus mean when he said in Mt.24:15 "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand"?

How does someone see the carnal man standing in holy place of your soul? The Lord will return to literally sit on the throne in the rebuilt Temple so yes the room can be called the holy place, the building can be called the Temple of God. When Christ returns we will no longer be the Temple of God b/c the indwelling Spirit of God, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, will cease. I Cor. 13 makes that clear.

Wasn't Daniel's bear the Medo-Persian empire which defeated the lion (Babylon) in 539 BC?

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that isworshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he isGod.

2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

I want to present something that has really been on my mind recently and I have been studying for discussion to see how some others may view this issue. Let me first say I don’t feel that this discussion is really about seeing this verse as a past, present, or
future fulfillment. I have been looking at it because of what it has to say about the temple and what it could really be meaning. What I am proposing may shock some considering most think I take all things in scripture as literal without any spiritual or symbolic meaning to it. My question comes as we reference this verse to other verse such as;

1Cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwellethin you?

1Cor 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

1Cor 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1Cor 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

2Cor 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

It is made very clear that we are the Temple of God the only acceptable Temple. It is also clear that in 2Th 2:3 that it mentions a great falling away of members of the church. Could it be that in 2Th 2:4 we find the temple of God mentioned that “the son of Perdition” is setting himself up to be God in and exalting himself in is the one true Temple of God today which is the heart of man? The one place God really wants to dwell?
