Jump to Previous Memory Remember Telling Used WordJump to Next Memory Remember Telling Used Word2 Thessalonians 2 1. Paul urges them to continue stedfast in the truth received;3. shows that there shall be a departure from the faith, 9. and a discovery of Antichrist, before the day of the Lord comes; 15. repeats his exhortation to stand firm, and prays for them. Do you not remember This phrase serves as a rhetorical question, emphasizing the importance of recalling previous teachings. In the context of the early church, oral tradition and memory were crucial for preserving apostolic teachings. The Thessalonians were expected to remember Paul's instructions, highlighting the importance of retaining doctrinal truths. This echoes the biblical theme of remembrance found throughout Scripture, such as in Deuteronomy 6:12, where the Israelites are urged to remember God's commandments. that I told you these things while I was still with you? Persons / Places / Events 1. Paul the ApostleThe author of the letter, who is reminding the Thessalonian church of his previous teachings. 2. Thessalonian Church The recipients of the letter, a group of early Christians in Thessalonica who were facing confusion and persecution. 3. False Teachings The context of the letter involves addressing misunderstandings and false teachings about the return of Christ. 4. The Day of the Lord A significant event in Christian eschatology that Paul discusses in this chapter. 5. The Restrainer A mysterious figure or force mentioned in the surrounding verses, which Paul had previously explained to the Thessalonians. Teaching Points The Importance of RemembrancePaul emphasizes the need to remember his teachings, highlighting the importance of grounding oneself in sound doctrine. Guarding Against Deception The Thessalonians were susceptible to false teachings. Christians today must be vigilant and discerning, testing all teachings against Scripture. The Role of Apostolic Teaching Apostolic teachings, as found in the New Testament, are foundational for understanding Christian doctrine and eschatology. The Certainty of Christ’s Return Despite confusion, Paul reassures the Thessalonians of the certainty of Christ's return, encouraging believers to live in anticipation and readiness. Community and Accountability Paul’s relationship with the Thessalonians underscores the importance of community and accountability in the Christian faith.(5) Remember ye not.--A rebuke of the same character as Romans 6:3; 1Corinthians 6:19, and, like those, levelled at ignorance of what in apostolic days were thought the six fundamental points of Christian teaching (Hebrews 5:12; Hebrews 6:1-2). The doctrine of Antichrist would naturally form part of the course on resurrection and judgment. This explains how the doctrine was enforced (1) so early in the education of the Christian churches: "while I was yet with you" (see Introduction to the First Epistle to Thessalonians); and (2) so emphatically and repeatedly:" my habit was to tell you these things"--for the word translated "told" is in the imperfect tense, which means more than a single action. Notice that in St. Paul's eager personal recollection, of thus teaching, he for once (and nowhere else) forgets Silas and Timothy: not "we," but "I." Imagine a forger who should forge with such subtlety! Mark also how erroneous is the opinion that St. Paul in this Epistle recedes from his former teaching about the Advent and its date.Verse 5. - Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? These words contain a reproach. Had the Thessalonians remembered the instructions of the apostle, they would not have been so soon shaken from their sober reason or troubled. The apostle, when he was in Thessalonica, had told them of these things; he had instructed them concerning the nature of the apostasy and the coming of the man of sin; so that, as already observed, this description, so obscure to us, was not obscure to the Thessalonians, - they possessed the key to its interpretation.
