Scripture Union Daily Guide 19th May 2026 – Outline
In this chapter, Paul sets out to reassure the Thessalonians who had received false reports, letters and prophecies said to have originated from Paul and his companions. These letters and teachings were saying the second coming of Jesus had already taken place thereby unsettling many believers and confusing many (2 Thessalonians 2:2). Paul reassures them that the second coming of Jesus has an unmistakable sequence that should help them discern whether the time had truly come.
Notice two events that must precede Christ’s second coming in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. ‘The man of lawlessness’ falls into the category of those John refers to as antichrists (1 John 2:18). He will be fighting the work of God in society and the temple, deceiving people through miraculous signs, wonders and lies (2 Thessalonians 2:9,10; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15). He will through this mislead many, leading them to believe these lies and lose their place in the kingdom of God.
How do you differentiate the works of the devil and the works of God through His people? Paul encourages the Thessalonians and us as well to stand firm in the truth of the word of God which he taught them when he was with them. This steadfastness will bring growth and maturity to all serious believers, ‘so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ’.
