帖撒罗尼迦后书 2:3 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

1-4 If errors arise among Christians, we should set them right; and good men will be careful to suppress errors which rise from mistaking their words and actions. We have a cunning adversary, who watches to do mischief, and will promote errors, even by the words of Scripture. Whatever uncertainty we are in, or whatever mistakes may arise about the time of Christ's coming, that coming itself is certain. This has been the faith and hope of all Christians, in all ages of the church; it was the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-99

2Thess 2 WITH THE OPENING verses of the second chapter we reach the matter which was the occasion of the writing of this epistle. Mischief-makers had been at work, endeavouring to persuade the Thessalonians that they had already passed into the day of the Lord, though they knew well that the day of the Lord brought heavy judgments with it, and that it would come as a thief in the night. (See 1Thess 5.1-5.3 ). Those who were attempting to lead them astray evidently reasoned that the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

The Man of Sin and the Mystery of Iniquity. The coming of Anti-Christ before the end: v. 1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto Him v. 2. that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. v. 3. Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

IIInstruction and Exhortation in regard to the antichristian consummation of evil1. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12The warning, against allowing themselves to be easily misled into the notion of the day of the Lord being at the door (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2), is confirmed by reminding them that, as he had already told them orally, the Man of Sin must previously be revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:3-5), that the mystery of lawlessness is still for the present restrained by an obstructive power, and will only... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Untroubled by Threatening Rumors 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 The Apostle sets himself to correct certain erroneous impressions which had unsettled the church in Thessalonica. Notice how reverently he speaks of our Savior. Once and again he alludes to Him as the Lord Jesus Christ. He is surely coming, and as surely will His saints be gathered to Him, as the drops of moisture are drawn up from ponds and oceans, to cluster in the clouds in radiant beauty around the sun. But certain events must take... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

The apostle now stated clearly the order of events connected with the Second Advent of Jesus. He first announced the distinction between the two things that they were evidently confusing: ''the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" and "the Day of the Lord." For the first they are to wait, for it is to be the occasion of the gathering together of the saints to Himself. The second cannot come until certain other matters have been accomplished. He earnestly warns them against confusing the hope of... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

The Second Coming in Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS You are, perhaps, aware that the Second Coming of Christ holds a very important place in both of Paul's Epistles to the church of the Thessalonians. The second Epistle majors in those particular judgments, which will be brought upon the earth prior to, or upon the coming of the Lord to the Mount of Olives. In opening our address we thought we would give you just a bird's-eye view of the two Epistles, relative to the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 2:3

THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST‘That day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:3 The spirit of Antichrist is always in the world. I. The spirit of Antichrist is the spirit of opposition to all moral restraint, and to all rule and authority. It is the spirit of corruption as St. Peter says, that is to say, of undoing and decomposition. Corruption is the opposite to life. Life builds up, corruption destroys.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

‘Let no man beguile you in any way, for it will not be except the rebellion come first, and the man of sin (or ‘lawlessness’) be revealed, the son of perdition, he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or is an object of worship, so that he sits in the temple of God setting himself forth as God.’ Paul here makes clear that while Christians should be ‘looking for His appearing’ there is to be a certain delay because certain things have to happen. This is not surprising.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 Kings : . The Misconception of the Parousia.— This section forms the heart of the epistle. The previous chapter is merely an introduction, and the following chapter merely a conclusion, to this paragraph. The Thessalonians seem to have misinterpreted Paul’ s teaching about the Parousia, with disastrous effect. The belief that Christ was immediately to reappear thoroughly disorganised their lives. In this paragraph Paul tries to remove the misconception, and definitely... read more
