John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17
The Great Apostasy2. Spirit] i.e. a pretended revelation uttered by a false prophet. Letter as from us] perhaps a forged letter (the probable meaning), cp. 2 Thessalonians 3:17, or a misunderstanding of the First Epistle.3-10. It will be convenient to. treat this difficult passage as a whole. Literally translated, it runs thus: ’Let no man deceive you in any wise: for [the Final Presence of our Lord shall not be] except (or till) the falling away come first and the Man of Lawlessness be... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12
EXCURSUS ON THE INTERPRETATION OF THE PROPHECY, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12IN order to deal fairly with this difficult passage, it will be necessary sternly to exclude from our view all other passages of the New Testament which speak of a final manifestation of evil, and, reviewing the words simply as they stand, to consider what St. Paul himself meant when he so assiduously (2 Thessalonians 2:5, Note) taught the Thessalonian Church on the subject, and what the Thessalonian Church was likely to... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Thessalonians 2:11
(11) And for this cause—i.e., because they did not care whether things were true or not. This verse is not a mere repetition of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10. There we were told of external dangers which would attend Antichrist’s coming for them that perish: because they had not cared for truth, therefore the presence of the Man of Sin, which could not even imperil the truth-lovers, would for them be full of special marvels and frauds by which they might be misled. Here is set forth the effect upon... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Thessalonians 2:12
(12) That they all.—This is God’s purpose in making them believe the lie—“in order that, one and all, they might be judged.” He who desireth not the death of a sinner, now is said actually to lay plans with the intention of judging him: such are the bold self-contradictions of the Bible! It must not, however, be forgotten for a moment that God did not begin to will the sinner’s judgment till after He had offered him freely the love of His own blessed truth, and had been rejected. When once the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Thessalonians 2:13
(13) But we are bound.—This may be called a recurrence to the subject dropped at 2 Thessalonians 1:3. The pronoun is somewhat emphatic. It might have seemed more natural to have sharpened the contrast between the Thessalonian Christians and the unhappy people just mentioned by beginning “But you.” It is, however, part of St. Paul’s delicacy of sympathy to describe rather the effect upon himself and his two companions of observing that contrast. He sets himself to work the contrast out.Beloved... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Thessalonians 2:14
(14) Whereunto.—From the neuter gender of the relative in the Greek we see that the antecedent in St. Paul’s mind is not exactly “belief of truth,” nor exactly “sanctification of spirit,” nor yet exactly “salvation,” but the general state of life which is compounded of these three notions—“to which thing He called you.” The election or choice takes place in eternity (2 Thessalonians 2:13); the call at that point of time when the men first hear the gospel. (See Romans 8:30.)By our gospel—i.e.,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Thessalonians 2:15
(15) Therefore, brethren, stand fast.—Such an exhortation is, in itself, conclusive against a theory of irreversible predestination. “Because God chose you from eternity, and called you in time, therefore stand your ground.” If it were impossible for them to quit their ground, it would be needless to exhort them to maintain it. If it were possible for them to quit their ground, and yet be as well off after all, it would be needless also. At the same time, the “therefore” draws a conclusion, not... read more
