Павел опроверг утверждения о том, что “ День Господень ” уже наступил, в своем втором послании к Фессалоникийцам. Этот день не наступит до тех пор, пока не произойдет “ Отступничество ” и “ Человек беззакония ” не будет разоблачен в Доме Божьем. Когда Иисус “ придет ” в этот последний день, он соберет своих избранных и уничтожит “ Беззаконника ”.

Paul provided the Assembly of Thessalonica with instructions on how believers must live in anticipation of the “ Day of the Lord .” It will not overtake them since they “ are not in darkness .” They are the “ Sons of Light ” and the “ Sons of the Day .” Unlike the unrighteous of this fallen age, the watchful believer who lives in the light of the Gospel will not be caught off guard by that Day’s sudden arrival.

Jesus will arrive and gather his people on the Day of the Lord, and in the New Testament, this event becomes the Day of Christ . In his second letter to the Thessalonians, Paul refutes claims that the “ Day of the Lord ” is imminent. That day will not arrive until the “ Apostasy ” and the “ revelation of the Man of Lawlessness, the Son of Destruction .” Jesus will destroy this Master Deceiver at his “ Arrival ” or ‘ Parousia ’, an event the Apostle links to this final great day.

The New Testament warns believers that before Jesus returns his Church will be under assault from within by deceivers, “ false anointed ones ,” and “ false prophets ,” and it does so repeatedly. Before the “ Day of the Lord ” begins, his disciples will be confronted by the “ Man of Lawlessness ,” a figure linked to the final “ Apostasy ,” the final great “ falling away ” from the true faith.

The subject of the “ Antichrist ” raises certain questions. Who is he? When will he appear? How will we recognize him? What is his “ mark ” or “ number ”? In popular preaching, he is a global political leader who uses military might to subjugate other nations and attack Israel in the Middle East. However, if Satan is truly cunning, why would he do the things we expect?

耶稣说：天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了，所以你去使万民作我的门徒吧！ 然后，祂差遣门徒宣告祂的主权和救恩到地极。 救恩的时代始于祂的死和复活；因此，祂赐生命的信息必须向所有的人宣告。 神的儿子为他的百姓提供救恩！
