Aug 31, 2023    David Klingler

Ever wondered what's behind Paul's teachings to the Thessalonians? Perhaps you're intrigued with the concept of rapture and end times? Dr. David Klingler and I, Alex Wolfe, shed light on these enigmatic biblical narratives in this riveting episode of Teach Me the Bible podcast. We navigate through Paul's sojourn in Thessalonica, his interaction with the Jews, and the aftermath of their rejection of his teachings. We also decode Paul's 'armor of God' language and exhortation, using Isaiah 11 and 59 as our guide. You'll also discover the importance of understanding the Bible's complete story and the challenges of memorizing verses from the first Thessalonians.


The rapture and end times spark intense debate within the church - but what are the primary views on these subjects? Together with Dr. Klingler, we unpack the popular perspectives on tribulation and examine the unity of the Bible's story. As we dissect Paul's words to the Thessalonians, we unearth essential lessons on caring for one another, appreciating hard workers, living in peace, and continuously seeking goodness. This deep-dive into the Thessalonians, the rapture, and the end times promises to be a thought-provoking journey you won't want to miss!
