Bible Study: Thessalonians Part II

I Thessalonians 4:13 - II Thessalonians 1:10

We'll begin with Paul addressing false teaching and the Thessalonians concerns regarding the resurrection and the end of days. We'll examine the two clear references to the rapture given by Paul here and in I Corinthians. We'll discuss the idea that I Thessalonians appears to have been written before I Corinthians, (thanks again to the saints at Grace Ambassadors).

We'll compare the "trump" in I Thessalonians with the seven trumpets of Revelation, and discuss whether or not the Body of Christ shou8ld be looking for signs of the end times, or if we're destined to suffer in the Great Tribulation, or be involved in Christ's earthly conquest of Revelation, or not be involved in the Tribulation events at all.

We'll compare the coming of Christ described by Paul to the Lord's account of his coming and see if the two events are the same or not. We'll identify the Marriage Supper of the Lamb from which the thief comes. We'll study through quenching the Spirit, prophesying, testing all things, holding to the truth, being blameless, and wholly sanctified in spirit soul and body unto the coming of the Lord.
