Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nothing by the brightness of his coming;
whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth: The word "consume" (analiskol) means "to consume, use up, destroy" (Thayer 39-2-355). In order to get a proper understanding of the magnitude of this word "consume," see Luke 9:54 and Galatians 5:15. This word "mouth" (stoma) refers specifically "the breath of his mouth" (Thayer 589-2-4750).
