In this Bible study, we pick up in 2 Thessalonians 2:6 and finish the chapter. Paul continues his teaching on the restraint holding back the revealing of the man of sin, the mystery of iniquity already at work, and the final destruction of the lawless one by the brightness of Christ’s coming.
This study focuses on how God governs the timing of the final events. The lawless one is restrained until the appointed time, then revealed, but his end is already certain. Paul then warns about satanic deception, false signs, lying wonders, and the danger of refusing the love of the truth.
The chapter closes with encouragement for believers: God has called His people through the gospel, chosen them for salvation through sanctification and belief in the truth, and commanded them to stand fast.
Key themes in this study include:
