Verse 2
day of
(See Scofield " :-") .
Verse 3
for that day
The order of events is:
(1) The working of the mystery of lawlessness under divine restraint which had already begun in the apostle's time 2 Thessalonians 2:7
(2) the apostasy of the professing church 2 Thessalonians 1:3; Luke 18:8; 2 Timothy 3:1-8.
(3) the removal of that which restrains the mystery of lawlessness 2 Thessalonians 2:6; 2 Thessalonians 2:7. The restrainer is a person--"he," and since a "mystery" always implies a supernatural element (See Scofield "2 Thessalonians 2:7- :") this Person can be none other than the Holy Spirit in the church, to be "taken out of the way" ; 2 Thessalonians 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17.
(4) the manifestation of the lawless one 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10; Daniel 7:8; Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15; Revelation 13:2-10
(5) the coming of Christ in glory and the destruction of the lawless one 2 Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 19:11-21
(6) the day of Jehovah 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; Isaiah 2:12
