I guess it’s more Bible-ish then study, but I just finished 2 Thessalonians and I have to wonder if Paul actually knew when the second coming would be.
Maybe not the exact date, if only because of the change in how we do our years, but he knew the signs that would precede Christ’s coming again.
The signs, however, are somewhat vague and could actually apply to several moments and people throughout history since then. My study Bible mentioned Tom Davies, a British writer, suggested the TV was the ‘lawlessness one’ since it advocated for violence so easily.
An interesting take if you don’t believe the ‘lawlessness one’ is a person instead of a thing. Except for the fact that Paul actually says ‘man of lawlessness’ so I’m not sure why the writer would think an inanimate object was what Paul was talking about.
Unless there are different translations or the understanding of the language has changed since then. It doesn’t give a date for Tom Davies, though I’m sure I could look it up.
Anyways, I’ve said it once and twice and a few more times! Reading my Bible as an adult is fascinating!
Till next time my peeps!
