Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:11
And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.Here again is in view the principle of God's hardening those who love wickedness. See under preceding verse. People who have pleasure in doing wrong will be blinded and hardened. Thoroughly deceived, they shall then have no difficulty in believing a lie, not the truth. "Satan's lie consists in getting men to believe... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:13
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:All three members of the godhead are mentioned in this great verse; and it is the answer to the terrible things Paul had just foretold. Whatever evil may engulf the world, the Thessalonians must not be troubled. They are "beloved of the Lord," "chosen of God unto sanctification," and the subject of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:14
whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.As we have noted again and again, in the New Testament, God's call, as used here, means "God's call accepted." It is the choice that men make which determines destiny. All men are called, but only those who hear, accept and obey are the truly "called." read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:15
So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours.Traditions" here does not refer in any manner to human traditions, but to the authentic teachings of the apostles as handed down orally, before the New Testament was available. Paul's use of yours" in this verse is not epistolary, but has reference to the apostles of Christ. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:16
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.As so frequently in Paul's writings, there is here an eloquent inadvertent testimonial witnessing the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gloag noted that:These verbs (comfort your hearts and establish them) are in the singular number, but their nominative is our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father, thus... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. Whose coming is after, &c.— The apostle was eager to foretel the destruction of the man of sin; and for this purpose, having broken in upon his subject, he now returns to it again, and describes the other qualifications by which this wicked one should advance and establish himself in the world. He should rise to credit and authority by the most diabolical methods; should pretend to supernatural powers, and boastofrevelations,visions,and miracles, false in themselves,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:13
2 Thessalonians 2:13. Because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, &c.— The apostle saw the full evidences of God's intention of mercy and goodness towards them. The original word ειλετο signifies a voluntary favourable designation, appointment, and choice of a person to any particular purpose and end; not such a choice as necessarily secures the end, or is inconsistent with the refusal of the person so chosen to accept the favour intended him. In this sense one of the... read more
