2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Christian, don’t be deceived: Christ’s final coming has yet to occur (1-2).

    2. Christian, don’t be deceived: the final apostasy and coming of Antichrist must precede Christ’s advent (3-4).

• “Apostasy” texts: Acts 21:21; 1 Tim 4:1; Heb. 3:12
• “Temple of God” or “God’s temple” texts: 1 Cor. 3:16-17; 2 Cor. 6:16.
• “Sitting” texts: Mt. 23:2; 26:64; Heb. 1:3

3. Christian, don’t be deceived: beware of the “already here/ not yet come” Antichrist (5-12).

• Though Antichrist hasn’t come physically, he can still deceive spiritually (6-7).
• Remember earlier taught truths and you won’t be deceived. Don’t be deceived now and you will avoid judgment later (5; 8-12).
