Thessalonians 2, Book Of
Paul’s second letter to the saints in Thessalonica was written not long after the first one, while the apostle was still at Corinth (Acts 18:11). This epistle seeks to correct an erroneous impressi...
Rapture
This word derives from the Latin term rapio, “to snatch.” The corresponding Greek expression is harpazo, signifying “caught up” (cf. 2 Cor. 12:2, 4) or “caught away” (Acts 8:39). At the time of Chr...
Millennium
The term “millennium” signifies a period of 1,000 years. It is a common belief among many who are identified with “Christendom” that Jesus Christ will return to this earth to set up his kingdom in ...
Last Days
Certain religionists, especially those who subscribe to the dogma of DISPENSATIONALISM (see), maintain that the “signs” of Matthew 24:1-34 indicate that the return of Christ is very near; they cons...
Kingdom
The word “kingdom” (basileia) is a noun that generally refers to a territory over which a king rules. Three senses are prominent in the theology of the N.T.

John warns that man...
