Resurrection Question
Hello Everyone,
2 part question, I am at an impasse. I believe the consensus is that the Olivet Discourse, 1 Thessalonians 4.13-17 is speaking about the same event. Is Revelation 20 speaking about this day of the Lord as well, or is it possible Revelation 20 is projected into the future?
With that said, I am having trouble with Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2.2 - Not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
Now, if Paul has to tell his audience that this Day of the Lord hasn't come, it seemingly cannot be a final end of the world judgment. They would definitely know if it had come already. This makes sense given the context of the Olivet Discourse but then its all one event. This implies everything had to have happened or something didn't go as they thought.
Please no dispensationalists commentors, unless its outside the box, I know this view already. Thank you.
