Who's revelation is being discussed from the beginning?
2 Thess 1:7-8

When a verse is only four verses away from a specific one that is in question, we have to read the context of the immediate few verses rather than go back a chapter to find the antecedent for "he", whether chapter divisions are moot or not. In this case the context changed since chapter 1 in reference to the revealing in chapter 2. We cannot ignore immediate context.
