How does he do it?

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

I think I can imagine how he can exalt himself above all that is called God, or is worshipped.

But how exactly does he oppose all that is called God or is worshipped?

Does shut down religious services wherever he can?

Will he get violent with believers, even before he is revealed for who he really is?
