2 Thessalonians 2: Who Is “The Man of Lawlessness?”
Manage episode 435081849 series 1183152
The Apostle Paul tackles the Thessalonians' anxieties about the Day of the Lord, reassuring them that it hasn't yet arrived. He cautions them against being misled by false teachings or claims that the day is already here. Paul clarifies that certain events must take place first, including the rise of the "man of lawlessness," who will defy God and elevate himself above all forms of worship. This figure, empowered by Satan, will deceive many with false signs and wonders. But Paul offers hope, assuring believers that the Lord Jesus will ultimately triumph and destroy the man of lawlessness at His return. But who is this man?
The Rev. Brian Davies, pastor of Lord of Glory Lutheran Church in Grayslake, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Thessalonians 2.
In 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Paul writes to the church in Thessalonica to encourage and instruct them amidst persecution. In 1 Thessalonians, he commends their faith, love, and hope, offers guidance on living a holy life, and reassures them about the fate of believers who have died, emphasizing the hope of the resurrection and Christ’s return. In 2 Thessalonians, Paul addresses misunderstandings about the Day of the Lord, urging believers not to be misled by false teachings and to stand firm in their faith. He also offers practical advice on handling idleness and continuing to live responsibly while awaiting Christ's return. Join us as we explore the themes of faith, hope, and perseverance in these compelling letters.
