    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Here is part of a narrative found within my commentary on the Book of Daniel. I believe it speaks to this issue, and hope it might bring some thought to this topic - thanks. Paul asks, “Has God rejected His people?” and answers, “Certainly not.” I agree completely. God has not rejected Israel...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    I would respectfully request that you might return to the initial post #1 that provides markers under both A and B. Also, I believe these questions above have been addressed in detail. Please take a look at some of the responses within this 20 page topic. Again, I attempted to identify all the...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    The phrase “son of perdition” can describe someone marked for destruction, but the surrounding context determines who is being identified. Judas was one historical traitor. The “man of sin” is a prophetic lawless power/personage revealed after the falling away. The shared phrase does not make...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Why do you say that? God has clearly told us HOW to be save. He has clearly told us to CONTINUE to abide in HIM. That is the way we know we are saved. We are not saved by trying to keep the law - that is impossible. But even though we will continue to sin, as long as we accept Jesus as our...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Please consider: John 15:5–6 “I am the vine, you are the branches… If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire.” This is one of the clearest. Jesus speaks of a branch in Him that does not continue to abide and...

    Is it possible to lose salvation?

    Please consider: I do not believe Scripture supports the idea that a person can come to Christ and then live in permanent rebellion with no danger to his salvation. Jesus said, “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered” (John 15:6). He also said, “He who...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Once again, please address the 10 statements in post #346 above. Or if you would like, please provide your interpretations for the verses in Daniel 7. 7“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    The only comment I would like to make and this is NOT to take away anything Covenantee made, it is that I firmly believe God has identified the PERSON who goes against Him in Daniel as the little horn. And the term "antiChrist" which is found in only 4 verses in the NT speaks of the "spirit of...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Thanks William but I would respectfully ask that you might be willing to address the ten statement in post #346 above. Daniel provides so much information on the little horn, when he will come, what blasphemous things he will do and say. God has indeed given much of His prophetic ink to the one...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    You offered absolutely nothing but a comment telling me it is not Rome. You have not addressed any of the comments I laid out because you have not studied Daniel. Please tell me how you interpret the verses in Daniel that tell us when and who comes out of pagan Rome.... and how that is relevant...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    But please address the comments found in Daniel 7 - that both the 10 horns, then the little horn COME OUT of the 4th beast kingdom of Rome. These verses in Daniel 7 are there so we can identify the timing these powers will first be seen. The first 3 beasts will indeed continue but not in any...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Thank you but the prophecies in Daniel are written to His people and His city- those that would see the coming of the Messiah and the restoration after their exile. Daniel is about His first coming and the “little horn “ who would come out of the 4th kingdom of Rome (pagan Rome). And since...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    He is not identified as an “anti-Christ” but as a little horn. And would you like to answer the five questions? Thanks.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Oh, the questions I asked were in post # 206, but perhaps you might find the answers in my post # 224.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    I don’t believe you answered any of the questions I asked you. They are your opinions but where is the support / verses you are relying on ? Now, let me ask you one question… can you have an “anti-Christ” before you have a Christ? I don’t see an anti-Christ in Daniel. I do see a little horn...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    I agree that 1 John 2:18 mentions “antichrist” in the singular, but I do not think John is clearly teaching one future literal individual in the way many assume. John’s own explanation moves immediately from the singular to the plural: “you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now many...
