Abstract

The passage chosen for the seventh and final article on the leading thoughts on eschatology in St. Paul's letters to the Thessalonians is one of special beauty and rich content. In the preceding articles we have shown on the basis of the two letters that the Lord will surely come, and come suddenly, as a thief in the night, 1 Thess. 5:1-3; that He will not come before the Man of Sin has made his appearance, 2 Thess. 2:1-12; that when He comes, He will come to take vengeance upon the unbelievers and to glorify the believers, 2 Thess. 1:3-12. In the passage which we shall consider in the final installment, 1 Thess. 4, 13-18, the apostle points out that Christ's Second Advent will transpire in separate acts.
