Editor: David Maas

( False information about the Day of the Lord caused alarm and confusion among the believers of Thessalonica  – 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2). The Apostle Paul addresses false claims about the Day of the Lord in his second letter to the Thessalonians. Incorrect information concerning Christ’s return is disrupting the congregation. Paul attributes the source of the disinformation to either a “ spirit ,” a word (‘ logos ’), or a letter, “ as if from us ”; supposedly, from Paul and his coworkers .

The Just Judgment of God

Editor: David Maas

The arrival of Jesus will result in vindication and rest for the righteous, but everlasting loss for the wicked - 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10. The “ revelation ” of Jesus from heaven will result in the reward of the faithful, but the punishment of those who have rejected the Gospel, including men and women who have abandoned the true faith. Christ's return will result in “ just judgment ” for the righteous and the unrighteous.

The Unholy City

Editor: David Maas

Babylon is the source of the ideologies and structures of this world. God is calling His saints to come out of the defiled city before it is too late . The Bible teaches disciples of Jesus to live holy lives separated from the existing world order, not physically, but morally and spiritually. They are “ in the world but not of it ,” and the mission of the Church is to call others to “ save themselves from this crooked generation ” before judgment comes.

The Redeemed of the Earth

Editor: David Maas
Image
The One People of God consists of the men and women purchased from every nation by the blood of the Lamb . The  Book of Revelation  applies several terms to the saints, who are persecuted by the Devil. They form a united company that transcends national, social, and cultural boundaries. What they have in common is redemption through the sacrificial death of Jesus.

The Throne of the Lamb

Editor: David Maas
Image
The Sovereignty of Jesus is based on his Death and Resurrection, the immovable foundation of his present reign and the Gospel . The death and exaltation of Jesus are inextricably linked in the  Book of Revelation . Its visions unveil the plan to redeem humanity, and God implements it through Christ’s sacrificial death, resurrection, and enthronement.  However, this Jesus is no tyrant. He does not subjugate his enemies through force.
