Listen-2 Thessalonians taught verse by verse

2 Thessalonians INTRODUCTION

      The book of 2 Thessalonians (according to Vance page 75) has 3 chapters, 47 verses and 1,022 words.

      Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians shortly after the first letter.  We know from chapter two that the Thessalonians were confused regarding the timing of the rapture.  Because of the increased persecution along with a forged letter supposedly from Paul they thought they were in the tribulation or about to see the second Advent. 

      2 Thessalonians solidifies the biblical teaching of the pre-tribulation rapture and confirms details about the Anti-christ, the tribulation and the timing of the second advent.

  On a practical note, 2 Thessalonians lays out some important truths how a Christian should live his life until the Lord returns.

      Wiersbe (191) has a great outline of the book:

I.         Encouragement in suffering – chapter one

a.       Praise – 1:1-4

b.       Promise – 1:5-10

c.        Prayer – 1:11-12

The following articles were written by our Pastor Dr. David E. Walker.  Some were written specifically for this website.  Some were written sermons that Pastor Walker preached here at Calvary Baptist.  And others were written for the local newspaper here in Monticello Florida.  These articles cover a variety of subjects.  Some are inspirational and devotional, while others are polemic and doctrinal.  We hope you receive a blessing from the biblical teachings presented in these articles.
