It seems like the church had a faith and love for each other that were increasing. Paul also boast about how they had overcome trials and he encourage them in different ways – for example speaking about that God will give relief to they who are troubled.
Paul tells them
that a number of events
must occur before Jesus returns.
Somebody came in among the believers and
taught about the coming
of Jesus is so close that they could stop working. Both preaching and
letters created in this way
fear, insecurity and anxiety.
Thessalonica is mentioned in Acts
17:1-9.
2. Main idea of this epistle
It is important for
Paul to tell the church that Jesus will not return yet. First there will be
a great apostasy and
the Antichrist will appear.
Seduction will be
very great, but the Lord will come and put an end to the
Antichrist and his entire army.Paul asks them to pray about the gospel’s progress, and he exhorts the believers to perform their earthly everyday work.
