IS THE RAPTURE IN 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3? Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, —2 Thessalonians 2:3 I believe that there is a strong possibility that 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is speaking of the rapture. What do I mean? Some pretribulationists, like myself, think that the Greek noun apostasia, usually translated “apostasy,” is a reference to the rapture and should be translated “departure.” Thus, this passage would be saying that the day of the Lord will not come until the rapture comes before it. If apostasia is a reference to a physical departure, then 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is strong evidence for pretribulationism. THE MEANING OF APOSTASIA The Greek noun apostasia is only used twice in the New Testament. In addition to 2 Thessalonians

Preface What is the Copper Scroll? Do the Dead Sea Scrolls contain lost books of the Bible? Did John the Baptist study with the people of Qumran? What is the Temple Scroll? What about DNA research and the scrolls? We have responded to scores of such questions on many occasions—while teaching graduate seminars and Hebrew courses at Brigham Young University, presenting papers at professional symposia, and speaking to various lay audiences. These settings are always positive experiences for us, particularly because they reveal that the general membership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a deep interest in the scrolls and other writings from the ancient world. The nonbiblical Dead Sea Scrolls are of great import because they shed much light on the cultural, religious, and political position of some of the Jews who lived shortly before and during the time of Jesus Christ.

Therefore it is strongly advised that you perform your own Inductive Bible Study of Paul's short letter before you go to your favorite commentary or sermon. The venerable Bible expositor Dr Warren Wiersbe adds that "The purpose of Bible prophecy is not for us to make a calendar, but to build character. Paul emphasized this fact in both of his Thessalonian letters, and our Lord warned us not to set dates for His coming (Mt 24:36, 42). Date-setters are usually upsetters, and that is exactly what happened in the Thessalonican assembly." And as brothers and sisters in Christ we must always seek to be agreeable in our disagreements, for as our Lord declared "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.

  • Isaiah Chapter 10 Page 1 of 6 M.K
    Isaiah Chapter 10 page 1 of 6 M.K. Scanlan Isaiah Chapter 10 • It’s a well known principle of Bible interpretation (Hermeneutics) to recognize that often prophesies have a dual application or fulfillment. We’ll see that in a couple of instances in this particular chapter. V: 1 “Woe to those…” who make bad laws – there are going to be some very sorry congressmen and senators! Proverbs 22:22 “Do not rob the poor because he is poor, nor oppress the afflicted at the gate.” V: 2-3 These laws take advantage of the vulnerable, those whom God loves. • Think California lottery, think Proposition 13 / deceptive labeling. Matthew 23:14 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.” • God is going to exact punishment and He asks, “where are you going to hide?” Ezekiel 16:49 “Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: she and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.” • These things then led onward to the abomination for which Sodom and Gomorrah were known. • Illustration: Epoc Times: man gets 15 year prison sentence for burning a rainbow flag / Antifa and other regularly burn American flags with no consequences. Un-fair, biased application of the law. 1 Samuel 2:30 “Therefore the LORD God of Israel says: I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.

  • 2 Thessalonians Introductory Handout
    Introduction to 2nd Thessalonians From BibleAtlas.org (Thessalonica and surrounding area) Occurrences in scripture: Acts 17:1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. Acts 17:11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. Acts 17:13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes. Acts 27:2 Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. Philippians 4:16 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need. 1 2 Timothy 4:10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. From the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: THESSALONICA thes-a-lo-ni'-ka (Thessalonike, ethnic Thessalonikeus): 1. Position and Name: One of the chief towns of Macedonia from Hellenistic times down to the present day. It lies in 40 degrees 40 minutes North latitude, and 22 degrees 50 minutes East longitude, at the northernmost point of the Thermaic Gulf (Gulf of Salonica), a short distance to the East of the mouth of the Axius (Vardar). It is usually maintained that the earlier name of Thessalonica was Therma or Therme, a town mentioned both by Herodotus (vii.121;, 179;) and by Thucydides (i0.61; ii.29), but that its chief importance dates from about 315 B.C., when the Macedonian king Cassander, son of Antipater, enlarged and strengthened it by concentrating there the population of a number of neighboring towns and villages, and renamed it after his wife Thessalonica, daughter of Philip II and step-sister of Alexander the Great.

  • Isaiah Chapter 10
    Isaiah Chapter 10 Verses 10:1-4: A prophetic Woe is pronounced against those administrators who pervert justice. These government officials have abused their power and are now called to God’s bar of justice. Isaiah 10:1 "Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;" In these first two verses, the prophet returned to assigned reasons for God's wrath again; (1) Iniquities in administering the laws; and (2) Harsh treatment of those in need. This is speaking of those who are listened to by others. It is bad to sin yourself, but to lead someone else into sin through statements you make is much worse. This woe is spoken to those who lead others astray, with the things they say. Writing plans for others to live by is very dangerous, as well, when they are things the writer has decided, and not God. The leader, who writes or speaks, better speak as an oracle of God. Their writing and speaking must be from God and not from themselves. Isaiah 10:2 "To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may rob the fatherless!" This is speaking of those who favor the wealthy over the poor in judging them. This is also, speaking of people who take advantage of a widow or orphan. God teaches that we are to take care of the widow and orphan, not cheat them out of the little they have.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth For the first time in North America, the 1st century CE handwritten text of Genesis that was discovered in Qumran will go on view to the public. The Biblical book describes the creation of man and woman, the Garden of Eden, the flood, Abraham’s descent to Egypt and God’s promise of a future of greatness. The passage on view at TFI begins with Genesis 1:1-11 – perhaps the most well-known words in the history of the world “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Exodus 6:25–7:16 ........ I am the LORD; speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you Joshua 7:12-15 ............. Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow Isaiah 10:23-12:1 .........

Before the discovery of Tobit manuscripts among the Dead Sea Scrolls, the text was assumed to have been composed between the first and third centuries CE.

  • 2 Thessalonians 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on 2 Thessalonians 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable HISTORICAL BACKGROUND This epistle contains evidence that Paul had recently heard news about current conditions in the Thessalonian church. Probably most of this information came to him from the person who had carried 1 Thessalonians to its recipients, and who had returned to Paul at Corinth. Perhaps other people as well, who had news of the church, had informed Paul, Silas, and Timothy. Some of the news was good. The majority of the Thessalonians were continuing to grow and to remain faithful to Christ, in spite of persecution. Unfortunately some of the news was bad. False teaching concerning the day of the Lord had entered the church, causing confusion, and was leading some of the Christians to quit their jobs in expectation of the Lord's imminent return. Copyright Ó 2021 by Thomas L. Constable www.soniclight.com 2 Dr. Constable's Notes on 2 Thessalonians 2021 Edition In view of these reports, Paul evidently felt constrained to write this epistle. He commended his children in the faith for their growth and faithfulness, corrected the doctrinal error about the day of the Lord, and warned the idle to get back to work. "It is primarily a letter of correction—correction concerning persecution (chapter 1), concerning prophecy (chapter 2), and concerning practice (chapter 3)."1 Almost all conservative scholars believe that Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians from Corinth. The basis for this conclusion is that Paul, Silas, and Timothy were present together in Corinth (Acts 18:5). The New Testament does not refer to them being together from then on, though they may have been.
