the issue which arose during the time of paul among the thessalonians is what we are also facing now. the widespread of panic about the second coming of Chris. paul was able to caution the people drawing upon the apocalyptic teachings contained in the book of daniel. there willl be widespread of rebellion against GOD whic will be led by one who is an embodiment of sin itself. this wicked one will even try to usurp the throne and kingdom of GOD.
but amidst all this, it should be noted that the time has not yet come though the forces of evil are at work. Though the time has not yet come, this doesnt stop true christians from preparing themselves for HIS coming
