Paul wrote to seven churches. His first letter was written to the Thessalonians from Corinth in 54 CE. Though Thessalonians was written first in time, in all ancient manuscripts it is always found last in order of Paul’s books. The reason for this order seems obvious. The letters to the other six churches dealt with Paul’s doctrines and practices to the newly revealed Church, the Body of Christ. The two Thessalonian letters deal with the results of that teaching: the “blessed hope” of the Church at the Rapture of the Body of Christ. Remarkably, the subject of the Second Coming of Christ at the time of the Rapture is mentioned in every chapter in both I and II Thessalonians.
