2 Thessalonians 2

Paul comforts and instructs his readers about the coming return of the Lord. Those who say that the Lord has already returned, or that the "end has already begun" are not speaking the truth. There are definite signs of Christ's return (signs Paul had already explained to the readers) that were not being fulfilled. The proper response to false teaching is to hold firmly to Truth. Truth, as one man put it, has enough buoyancy to float in the sea of confusion.
