2 Thessalonians was apparently prompted by three main developments. 1. The persecution of the Christians there had grown worse and was leaving some at the point of despair. 2. A letter and/or other representations falsely claiming to be from Paul were on the verge of convincing the Christians there that the end- time was imminent. 3. The nearness of Christ's return was being misused as a basis for shirking vocational responsibility.

PAUL'S PURPOSE: 2 Thessalonians To meet the needs that prompted the Epistle, Paul pursued three broad purposes: 1. He provides an incentive for the Thessalonians to persevere a little longer by describing the reward and retribution that God would be handing out to their persecutors.

PAUL'S PURPOSE: 2 Thessalonians To meet the needs that prompted the Epistle, Paul pursued three broad purposes: 2. Paul wants to make clear that they understand that certain things must happen before the "Day of the Lord" came and thus to prove false the claims that the "day" had already arrived (2:1-12)

PAUL'S PURPOSE: 2 Thessalonians To meet the needs that prompted the Epistle, Paul pursued three broad purposes: 3. Paul issues detailed instructions covering disciplinary steps the church should take in correcting those who refuse to work (3:6-15)
