Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES2 Thessalonians 2:1. Beseech … by the coming of our Lord.—The English reader who consults the similar phrase “to beseech by” in Romans 12:1 will be wholly astray. St Paul begs his readers not to be thrown into consternation or kept in a flutter of excitement over that matter of the Parousia, or “coming.”2 Thessalonians 2:2. Not soon shaken.—Like a house built on sand when the storm breaks in fury, or like the mobile vulgus in Thessalonica who were only too willing... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 2:1

2 Thessalonians 2:1 The Re-gathering of the Saints. We have now before us the time and the season of which St. Paul speaks in the text, and we have to observe that he uses it not as a terror but as an attraction "we beseech you" as those that would not part with it for their lives. The advent, a re-gathering, is in St. Paul's view a prospect full of consolation. What is it that makes the world the wilderness it is? In a large part it is that of which the re-gathering is a direct reversal... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 I. The first part of this second Epistle aims at widening the view of the Thessalonian converts into the future the future bliss of believers, the future doom of the rebellious. The second part, embraced in this chapter, seeks to guard them beforehand against delusion as to the nearness of that future, and the mischief which the cherishing of such delusion would produce. The Apostle wishes them to be forearmed by being forewarned. His chief design is to impress upon their... read more

for that day The order of events is: (1) The working of the mystery of lawlessness under divine restraint which had already begun in the apostle's time 2 Thessalonians 2:7 (2) the apostasy of the professing church 2 Thessalonians 1:3; Luke 18:8; 2 Timothy 3:1-8. (3) the removal of that which restrains the mystery of lawlessness 2 Thessalonians 2:6; 2 Thessalonians 2:7. The restrainer is a person--"he," and since a "mystery" always implies a supernatural element (See Scofield "2 Thessalonians... read more

Chapter 2Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, [in virtue of this, because of this] and are gathering together unto him, 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 already present ( 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 )Now there were some there who said this persecution that we are going through is the Great Tribulation; this is the day of God's vengeance. It is already here. And... read more

2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 . We beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord, the only hope of the saints, and by our gathering together to him. By the coming of our Lord reference must be had to the promise made to the disciples. After he had said that the gospel must first be preached to all nations, before the stones of the temple should be thrown down, and that the then surviving generation should see that event, he made a climax, and spake of the Son of man’s coming in the clouds of... read more

2 Thessalonians 2:2That ye be not soon shaken in mind A firm anchorageThere lies a maritime figure in the word “shaken.” Wordsworth well paraphrases it. “In order that you may not soon be shaken off from the anchorage of your firmly settled mind, and be drifted about by winds of false doctrine, as a ship in your harbor is shaken off from its moorings by the surge of the sea.” They are warned against being driven out of their ordinary state of mental composure--shaken out of their sanctified... read more

The latter has, like the former--1. An apocalypse (2Th 2:8. cf. verses 6-8).2. A solemn coming on the stage of human history (2 Thessalonians 2:8).3. An advent (2 Thessalonians 2:9).4.
