2 Tessalonicenses 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 Tessalonicenses 2:5 In-Context

3 Não deixem que ninguém os engane de modo algum. Antes daquele dia virá a apostasia e, então, será revelado o homem do pecado, o filho da perdição.

4 Este se opõe e se exalta acima de tudo o que se chama Deus ou é objeto de adoração, chegando até a assentar-se no santuário de Deus, proclamando que ele mesmo é Deus.

5 Não se lembram de que, quando eu ainda estava com vocês, costumava falar essas coisas?

6 E agora vocês sabem o que o está detendo, para que ele seja revelado no seu devido tempo.

7 A verdade é que o mistério da iniquidade já está em ação, restando apenas que seja afastado aquele que agora o detém.
