EASILY UNSETTLED OR ALARMED / 2 THESSALONIANS 2:2

(KJV) 2 Thessalonians 2:2

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

The Thessalonians were alarmed because of what the false teachers were saying about “the day of the Lord” (2 Thessalonians 2:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:2). He tells them not to worry because the day of God’s wrath – His severe end-time judgments and punishment on the world at large – has not yet arrived. Two things will signal its arrival: 

1. There must come a specific “rebellion” – both in the church (as many people abandon faith in God) and in the world (as people increasingly reject and rebel against God and His standards).
2. The “man of lawlessness” will be revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Paul goes on to state that these two events will not be fulfilled until the one who holds it back “is taken out of the way” (2 Thessalonians 2:7).

Paul’s reference to “some prophecy, report or letter” may suggest that the false teaching was being passed on through illegitimate use of the spiritual gifts of tongues and interpretation or through prophecy (1 Corinthians 14:29).
