[1] {whole spirit and soul and body}
Man a \\trinity\\. That the human soul and spirit are not identical
is proved by the facts that they are divisible.
# Heb 4:12
and that soul and spirit are sharply distinguished in the burial and
resurrection of the body. It is sown a natural body (soma psuchikon=
"soul-body"), it is raised a spiritual body (soma pneumatikon).
# 1Co 15:44
To assert, therefore, that there is no difference between
soul and spirit is to assert that there is no difference between the
mortal body and the resurrection body. In Scripture use, the
distinction between spirit and soul may be traced. Briefly, that
distinction is that the spirit is that part of man which "knows"
# 1Co 2:11
his mind; the soul is the seat of the affections, desires, and
so of the emotions, and of the active will, the self. "My soul is
exceeding sorrowful"
# Mt 26:38
see also
# Mt 11:29 Joh 12:27
The word transliterated "soul" in the O.T. (nephesh) is the exact
equivalent of the N.T. word for soul (Gr. psuche), and the use of
"soul" in the O.T. is identical with the use of that word in the N.T.
(see, e.g.)
# De 6:5 14:26 1Sa 18:1 20:4,17 Job 7:11,15 14:22 Ps 42:6 84:2
The N.T. word for spirit (pneuma) like the O.T. ruach, is
trans. "air", "breath", "wind," but predominantly "spirit," whether
of God (e.g.)
# Ge 1:2 Mt 3:16
or of man
# Ge 41:8 1Co 5:5
Because man is "spirit" he is capable of God-consciousness, and of
communication with God
# Job 32:8 Ps 18:28 Pr 20:27
because he is "soul" he has self- consciousness
# Ps 13:2 42:5,6,11
because he is "body" he has, through his senses, world consciousness.

Scofield Reference Notes Book Introductions The Second Epistle of Paul The
(1917 Edition) Apostle to the Thessalonians
WRITER The Apostle Paul (1,1)
DATE Second Thessalonians was evidently written very soon after Paul's
first letter to that church. The occasion may well have been the
return of the bearer of the former Epistle and his report.
THEME The theme of Second Thessalonians is, unfortunately, obscured by a
mistranslation in the A.V. of 2.2 where "day of Christ is at
hand"
» See Note "1Co 1:8"
should be, "day of the Lord is now present"
(Is 2.12, ref). The Thessalonian converts were "shaken in mind"
and "troubled," supposing, perhaps on the authority of a forged
letter as from Paul, that the persecutions from which they were
suffering were those of the "great and terrible day of the Lord,"
from which they had been taught to expect deliverance by "the day
of Christ, and out gathering together unto him" (2.1)
The present letter, then, was written to instruct the
Thessalonians concerning the day of Christ, "and our gathering
together unto him"
# 1Th 4:14-17
and the relation of the "day of Christ" to the "day of the
Lord." First Thessalonians had more in view the "day of
Christ"; the present Epistle the "day of the Lord."
The Epistle is in five divisions:
I. Salutation, 1.1-4
II. Comfort, 1.5-12
III. Instruction concerning the day of the Lord and the man of
sin, 2.1-12
IV. Exhortations and apostolic commands, 2.13-3.15
V. Benediction and authentication, 3.16-18

[1] {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
# 2Th 2:7
(2) the apostasy of the professing church
# Lu 18:8 2Ti 3:1-8
(3) the removal of that which restrains the mystery of lawlessness
# 2Th 2:6,7
The restrainer is a person--"he," and since a "mystery" always
implies a supernatural element
» See Note "Mt 13:11"
this Person can be none other than the Holy Spirit in the church, to
be "taken out of the way"
# 2Th 3:7 1Th 4:14-17
(4) the manifestation of the lawless one
# 2Th 2:8-10 Da 7:8 9:27 Mt 24:15 Re 13:2-10
(5) the coming of Christ in glory and the destruction of the lawless
one
# 2Th 2:8 Re 19:11-21
(6) the day of Jehovah
# 2Th 2:9-12 Isa 2:12
