2Thess. 2:1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you 2:2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come.
First, to understand Paul's letter to Thessalonians it has to be understood in context as a “letter”, and also in context to the rest of Paul's letters in the Greek Scriptures, but above all to whom it was being written too?
Paul wrote as he always did to the body of Christ Jesus, not to a religion. One cannot be in the body of Christ Jesus under the spirit mind of Christ Jesus and be quickly shaken by prophecy unless they are living in their flesh mind, and not in Holy Spirit regarding the last days.
Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.
Hebrews 12:28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe.
So the problems is for those of fleshly mind is defining Paul words here as the spiritual mind can only do correctly, which was in fact the problem creeping into the body of Christ, as is found in all of Paul's writings, why is this important? Simply, put the flesh is dead, that is, the fleshly mind in anointed child of God is dead in Christ Jesus, but are instead alive by Holy Spirit. In other words, end time prophecy excites the flesh, not the Holy Spirit, which overseer is peace.
Moreover, one cannot be a hand on the body of Christ Jesus, and not know what the mind of the same body is doing regarding the coming of the Lord. So no written word could change the Spirit that indwells the body Christ. There is no need of fear, for the body has been saved into life of Christ by faith. Nothing could shake the new heavens where the body of Christ is elevated into by the death of their flesh, being grafted into Christ Jesus holy righteous life. Who than could separated them from the love of God? Certainly not an end time prediction made by fleshly minded Christian's!
Colossians 2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
So from the start of Paul's words certain truths must be noted, that it is those in their fleshly mind, which are excited by such message(s) that Christ has come, why? Because the flesh is excited by such entertainment. However, those made into the body of Christ Jesus would not being led and control by Holy Spirit in their lives.
Gal. 5:24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. Gal.5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.
Gal.5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Paul than warns those walking in the overseer of Holy Spirit, peace not to be trouble by a spirit that excites the lust of the flesh into self-survival, self preservation through human intellect by complicated understanding of bible prophecy, but instead, remember the Spirit of God bearing witnesses in them in the fruit of truth, one being faith, that is, trust in God as love, whom never lies or breaks His promises to His children.
