Notes

2 Thessalonians 2:9

Christ will appear in royal and divine power. It is his parousia, meaning "presence" or "arrival" or "coming" (2:1, 8; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 5:23). The coming (parousia) of the lawless one will also include a royal entrance.

2 Thessalonians 2:1–12

False teachings about the Day of the Lord had upset the Thessalonian church (2:1–2). Paul reminds them that two events will happen before that day: a great rebellion and the revealing of the man of lawlessness (2:3–12). Christ will destroy this man when he returns (2:3, 8). Those deceived by him will also encounter judgment (2:9–12).
