As we travel through the book of 1 Thessalonians, we learn a great deal about Paul's new church plant in the large city of Thessalonica. The city was not in favor of churches of Jesus Christ, and persecuted believers. This was an extremely hard field of ministry!

This passage of scripture deals with the endtimes of this earth: The rapture of the church; The Antichrist, The Judgment of God. But why does Paul write about endtime theology? He is urging the church to be serious about bringing people to salvagion in Jesus Christ! 

As we study this second letter to the Thessalonian church, Paul knows persecution is getting hotter against the church. He writes to build believers up in courage. As the battle gets harder, the love inside the church must get stronger.

As Paul closes his first letter to the Thessalonian church, he directs them in some very basic guidance for the church. These guidelines of faith are still needed in the church today.

Paul writes to a small church under persecution in the big city of Thessalonica. They want to know when Jesus will give them peace and rest. This scripture is some of the most crucial endtimes theology in your Bible.
