242 - Day of the Lord - 2 Thessalonians

https://www.btstories.com/2nd-letter-to-the-thessalonians/The Thessalonians loved Paul’s first letter and read it over and over. They talked about the Day of the Lord so much that soon they thought it had already started. Some became extremely concerned about what this meant, while others quit their jobs because they felt the Lord was setting up his kingdom. Soon those who quit their jobs had to be supported by those who still had work. Word got back to Paul, so he wrote this second letter. He said: Silas, Timothy, and I constantly thank God for you. We thank God because you’re growing in your faith, and because of your great love toward each other. We talk about you to all the churches. We brag about your faith, and your extraordinary patience in the face of severe persecution.
