In
this epistle, the Apostle Paul gives an understanding of the
Day of the Lord. Paul corrects false conclusions about that
coming Day. He explains what must precede this awesome event
and exhorts his readers to remain diligent. He wrote the
second part of the epistle to the Thessalonians (Second
Thessalonians) from Corinth in A.D. 51. Since the epistle of
first Thessalonians, the seeds of false doctrine had been sown
among them, causing them to waver in their faith. He commends
the believers in this church and lets them know that their
present suffering will be repaid with future glory. He exhorts
them to endure until the end. After the introduction of this
letter, Paul warns them of the false doctrine that is trying
to be formed about the coming Day of the Lord. He recounts the
events that must first take place. He then encourages them to
labor for the Gospel and not to give-up ,exhorting them in
right fellowship.
Our Father Who art in Heaven,
May Your Words of Your Bible that we have placed on this
Online Bible site, minister to all that come to read it. May
their eyes and ears be opened to what it is that You desire
for them to know. As they read Second Thessalonians, please
minister to them in a way only You know how to. May the Words
come alive in their hearts as they yield themselves to what it
is You have for them. Thank You Heavenly Father for sending
Your One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins.
Thank You for making a way for us to gain salvation. May all
that hear, believe so they too may have eternal life. Praise
Your Holy Name, Lord!
In Jesus Christ Name, we pray
Amen.
