2 Thessalonians 2:1-2
EasyEnglish Bible
The day when the Lord Jesus will return
2 Our Christian friends, we must explain something now about the time when our Lord Jesus Christ will return. That is the time when he will bring us all together to be with him. 2 Please do not become easily confused about this. Do not let yourselves become afraid because of false messages about the Lord's return. Some people are telling you that the great day of the Lord's return has already happened.[a] Some of these people say that God's Spirit has shown them a message like that. Other people might say that the message came from us. Or they might say that we wrote it in a letter.[b]

- 2:2 The ‘great day of the Lord's return’ includes many events. It will be a time when God will win against all his enemies. See Zephaniah 1:14-18. He will punish them. See Isaiah 13:9. This will cause trouble on the earth. See Isaiah 13:11; Amos 5:18-20. But it will be a very good time for those who love God. It is a time when God will make his people free. See Jeremiah 30:7-9; Joel 3:16. It is the time when Jesus will return and he will start to rule on the earth.
- 2:2 When he was with them, Paul had taught the Christians at Thessalonica about Jesus' return. See verse 5. He had said more about it in his first letter to them. See 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; 5:1-10. But other people were now teaching that it had already happened. So Paul is explaining that certain things must happen before Jesus returns.
