|
Epistle was written soon after the former, and seems to have been
|
|||
|
|
designed to prevent a mistake, which might arise from some passages
|
|||
|
|
in the former epistle, concerning the second coming of Christ, as
|
|||
|
|
if it were near at hand. The apostle in this epistle is careful to
|
|||
|
|
prevent any wrong use which some among them might make of those
|
|||
|
|
expressions of his that were agreeable to the dialect of the
|
|||
|
|
prophets of the Old Testament, and informs them that there were
|
|||
|
|
many intermediate counsels yet to be fulfilled before that day of
|
|||
|
|
the Lord should come, though, because it is sure, he had spoken of
|
|||
|
|
it as near. There are other things that he writes about for their
|
|||
|
|
consolation under sufferings, and exhortation and direction in
|
|||
|
|
duty.</p>
