Reading for October 28th

Read 2 Thessalonians 2.1-15 In 2.1-15: A refutation. False teaching about the day of the Lord is stated (vv. 1-2) and refuted (vv. 3-12). In contrast is thanksgiving for the different fate of believers (vv. 13-15), who hold on to the truth (v. 13). In verse 3: Lawless one, perhaps a false prophet or one of the emperors. In verses 6-7: The identity of the unknown one restraining the lawlss one is impossible to determine, but the conflict between the two belongs to what must occur before the day of the Lord. In verse 13: We must always give thanks, see 1.3. In verse 15: Stand firm: see 1 Thess 3.8. Comments or Questions..
