The Man of Lawlessness: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.
The problem stated. The coming of our Lord—the parousia. Our being gathered to him—the episunagoge, the great assembly.
Not to become easily unsettled. Saleuo—shaken, disturbed. Or alarmed. Throeo—terrified, troubled in mind.
By the teaching allegedly from us. False claims. Prophecy—perhaps a spiritual utterance. Word of mouth—perhaps a rumor. Letter—perhaps a forged document.
