Lesson 18 - 1 and 2 Thessalonians - Part 3 - Escatology

While in Thessalonica Paul won some converts, but his message was considered a threat to the Romans.  Paul was forced to leave the city under duress.  He was prohibited from finishing his teaching to the early church.  They were confused regarding “the Last Things”. Paul’s letters focused on cleaning up this confusion.  Paul’s aim was to encourage the early church as to the second coming of Christ and the establishment of his eternal kingdom.
