What Is the Thessalonian Error in 2 Thessalonians?

In this episode, we explain the “Thessalonian error”—the fear that believers are already in the Day of the Lord when, in fact, they are not. Walking through 2 Thessalonians 1–2, you’ll see how Paul comforts the Thessalonian church during persecution and corrects false teaching that the Day of the Lord’s judgment/wrath had already begun.

Key Theme: Day of the Lord Has Not Come Yet

Paul affirms the Day of the Lord will come, but he insists it has not arrived because specific prophetic events must occur first. This matters because confusion about end-times timelines can produce unnecessary panic and spiritual despair—exactly what Paul confronts in his letter.

Antichrist’s Great Tribulation vs. God’s Wrath

A major focus is the biblical distinction between the Antichrist’s Great Tribulation (targeting Israel and the church) and the Day of the Lord’s wrath (targeting the ungodly world). You’ll learn why these are two separate events, and how Jesus returns to cut short the Antichrist’s persecution, rapture the church, and only then does God pour out His eschatological wrath.
