2 Thessalonians, New Testament.
Book of Second Thessalonians.
Paul reveals some of the signs and events leading to the Day of the Lord, the second coming of Jesus Christ. There will be persecution of believers, increased lawlessness, and apostasy (denunciation of the faith). The man of lawlessness, the Antichrist, will be revealed and worshiped; he will enter the temple of God and proclaim that he himself is God. But Christians need not fear – the Lord Jesus is in control and He will destroy the Antichrist. Paul encourages his readers not to get tired of doing good, and to discipline among them who become rebellious.
