|

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>
