If you do not understand the IMMINENCY OF THE rapture OF THE CHURCH after studying I & II Thessalonians, you have not learned these letters aright. If you do not comprehend the importance of EDUCATIVE GRACE in Titus, you have no idea what you are supposed to be doing until Jesus Christ returns. Life is not a picnic. You need this body of knowledge.False teachers had convinced the Thessalonians that the rapture had already occurred and the Tribulation had begun. They were stealing the blessed hope of the Lord's return for His bride from an entire generation of Christians. Paul would not let this error stand. He once again teaches them the doctrines of the 2nd advent, rapture, and tribulation, as well as the characteristics of the Antichrist and dispensational protocol. The Cretans were pathological liars and trouble-makers. The only way they would ever adhere to strict academic discipline was under the thumb of a tough pastor. Paul knew such a man. He sent Titus to clean house and establish teachers in every community.This commentary includes an exegetical display of each verse for those who want to dig deeper in the biblical languages, as well as an easily accessible tool for those who want to study Thessalonians & Titus.
