2 Tesalonicenses 2:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Thessalonians 2:5

Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you
At Thessalonica, for the apostle had been there in person, and had preached there with great boldness and success; he had declared the whole counsel of God, and the Gospel came in power and worked effectually in them, and yet there was too great a forgetfulness of it; with which the apostle tacitly charges them, and rebukes them gently for it; and as a faithful monitor, stirs up their pure minds by way of remembrance, and reminds them of former truths delivered to them:

I told you these things:
or "words" as the Arabic version; concerning the coming of Christ as that it would not be yet, that there, must be a defection from the faith, and antichrist must be revealed; which shows that these were things of moment and importance, and were useful and profitable to be insisted on; and therefore the apostle had told them of them, and spoke freely and largely about them, at his first preaching among them, and were what he inculcated everywhere; and also that his doctrine was all of a piece at one time as another; it was not yea and nay, or contradictory; what he now said was no other than what he had said before; and therefore it was the more inexcusable in them, to be shaken or troubled by any means with another doctrine.

2 Tesalonicenses 2:5 In-Context

3 No se dejen engañar por lo que dicen. Pues aquel día no vendrá hasta que haya una gran rebelión contra Dios y se dé a conocer el hombre de anarquía,
aquel que trae destrucción.

4 Se exaltará a sí mismo y se opondrá a todo lo que la gente llame «dios» y a cada objeto de culto. Incluso se sentará en el templo de Dios y afirmará que él mismo es Dios.

6 Y ustedes saben qué es lo que lo detiene, porque solo puede darse a conocer cuando le llegue su momento.

7 Pues esa anarquía ya está en marcha en forma secreta, y permanecerá secreta hasta que el que la detiene se quite de en medio.
