2 Thessalonians

In Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, he encour­ages them to keep looking for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Some misconstrued this teaching to mean that Jesus would return almost immediately.

So in 2 Thessalonians, Paul corrects this idea and tells the people that before Christ comes again there will be a great apostasy or falling away, and that the man of sin (or antichrist) must ap­pear.

Finally, Paul urges the Christians to remain faith­ful to Christ, in spite of suffering, and not be misled by false teachings about the Second Coming of Jesus.
