The purpose of Apostle Paul’s second letter to the Christians at Thessalonica was to assure them they had not missed:

Sadly, the rise in unrest has caused many of God’s people to lose hope; or even question the promise of our Lord to deliver us from this world before God’s wrath is released.

The “Day of the Lord” Paul referred to is a time which is to come, when God will either directly or indirectly interject Himself into the timeline of human history and carry out the final prophetic events that will bring this age to a close, concluding with the return of Christ to this earth.

The Apostle Paul assured the Thessalonians that two major events would precede the Day of the Lord.

The term “falling away” is an English translation of the Greek word “apostasia,” which could have several meanings.

There are several opinions about the identity of the “Restrainer.” However, I am convinced Paul was referring to the power and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Throughout the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit is always referred to as “He,” not an “it!”
