Summary

2 Thessalonians, written by the Apostle Paul, addresses the Thessalonian church's confusion about the Day of the Lord. Paul reassures them that this event hasn't occurred yet and describes signs that will precede it, such as the rise of the "man of lawlessness." He encourages the believers to stand firm in their faith amidst persecution and to work diligently while waiting for Christ's return. The letter emphasizes hope, perseverance, and the importance of living responsibly in anticipation of Jesus' second coming.
