Take a seat Lets get into this There's been a challenge to the truth But there's defense for this [2:1-2] Since Paul's first letter there's been need for another one [1:3, 5, 2:1, 13, 3:1, 6] Cause the other one was compromised by a cover up another one [2:2] Cause some of us Thought Paul was sending....wait [2:3a] Slow up, lets just start from the beginning First, Paul felt morally indebted just to give thanks [1:3] For our faith and increased love toward the saints [1:3] For this reason Paul bragged on us [1:4] Because we all persevered through attacks on us [1:4] And these attacks are evidence of His righteous judgment [1:5, 2:14] Proof we've been proven worthy of a righteous covenant [1:5b, 1:11] And don't sweat the hatters because God is just [1:6] To punish them and give you rest so in God we trust [1:6-7] So until the Lord comes back to take us home [2:16, 14] Persevere through afflictions baby and stand strong [1:11, 5, 2:15] Stand strong in the faith God called you to this thing [2:14] Persevere through the hate Do it all in Jesus name [2:15, 1:4] Cause the Lord is coming back, yep The Lord is coming back, yep [2:2] The Lord is coming back, yep The Lord is coming back [2:2] See the Lord is coming back And he'll save us from this pain [2:2, 2:14] Don't get lazy in the back stay disciplined in His name [3:11, 6, 14-15] So stand strong in the faith, yep Strong in the faith, stand [2:15] Strong in the faith, yep Stand strong in the faith [2:15] Now there are some of us who have been tricked into believing All kinds of rumors about the return of Jesus [2:2] Apparently there was a letter with false intent [2:2] Bent on contradicting the first letter Paul sent [2:2] So this is Paul's response to end the myth [2:1-12] That says the day of the Lord, is in our midst [2:1-3a] Don't let anyone deceive you I beseech you [2:3b] Hold fast to the lessons in which we teach you Remember when Paul was with us he said these things [2:5] First rebellion Then comes the lawless man on the scene [2:3] Then lawlessness, all of this so man would call on his name [2:4] As he's exalting his name, to where the Father's is [2:4] But, at this point, we've been long gone with Christ [2:1b, 2b,I Thes. 4:15, 17b, 5:1-2, 9] The rapture is a snatching not Him coming back twice [I Thes. 4:16-17, II Thes. 2:1b] They're separate and the day of the Lord happens after you [2:5, 12,I Thes. 4:17, 5:3a, 4-5] This is not for your calendar but to strengthen your character [2:2] Stand strong in the faith God called you to this thing [2:14] Persevere through the hate Do it all in Jesus name [2:15, 1:4] Cause the Lord is coming back, yep The Lord is coming back, yep [2:2] The Lord is coming back, yep The Lord is coming back [2:2] See the Lord is coming back And he'll save us from this pain [2:2, 2:14] Don't get lazy in the back stay disciplined in His name [3:11, 6, 14-15] So stand strong in the faith, yep Strong in the faith, stand [2:15] Strong in the faith, yep Stand strong in the faith [2:15] Finally brothers, Paul evokes our memory [3:3] Christ is faithful in affliction, just be genuine inwardly [3:3-5] Committed to praying daily cause we're fighting an enemy [3:1-2] Trying to take me out the battle by using the sin in me [3:6] And speaking of sin, Paul charges us in [3:6] Staying away from the lazy and rebellious idle men [3:6] In hopes our actions would invoke some action [3:6] Paul's first letter warned and they ignored his pa**ion [3:10, 7, I Thes. 4:9-12, I Thes. 5:14] Now the churches reaction has to be more drastic [3:6, 14] In hopes that they grasp it/and then repent of their actions [3:15, 12, 7] Let's recall Paul's behavior when he stayed with us [3:7-10, I Thes. 2:9-12] And how he labored night and day and never made a fuss [3:8] Man Paul is our model that we should be following [3:7] If a man doesn't work then that man shouldn't eat [3:10] Take note of those who disobey this command [3:14] Stand strong and quote, "I wrote this letter with my own hand" [Paul] [3:16-18]
